PhilippinesSending Money To US

 

Its an option, but it would be trouble to go through the exchange rate multiple times, as well as the foreign fees you would have to pay every time you would withdraw. Another thing is that it limits you to around 400 dollars a day. 

 

Its my wife's savings so its a good amount of money.

 

Thanks for the help though.

 

Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) or Wire Transfer is the best option. Lesser fee (I think) and safe bank to bank transaction.

 

Good luck on your journeys!

PhilippinesPhilippine passport for minor

My kid is 8 yrs old. She is not asked to sign when I got her a passport because she is a minor. I asked the DFA representative about the electronic signature, he said it is not required for minors. Better to inquire DFA also for your case. Just sharing.

 

Good luck! :)

PhilippinesOur journey...our progress

I just thought to do this i will back fill more information later smile.png

Mailed the RFE for proof of official divorce decree overnight mail to the California service center today with receipts of purchase. I sent a copy that I had received via email and it was not sufficient they wanted an original copy that had the sill and signature of the magistrate or judge on it. So I have my mom pick up 3 official certified copies and mail them out to me being that I live in a different state now. Hoping to see an NA02 soon.

 

You will be approved soon! Good Luck on your journey :)

PhilippinesCan I ask SLEC to issue Med Cert so I can claim Sickness Benefit at SSS?

SLEC did not gave me even certified copies of the medical records. The doctor just signed the SSS form. :(

In short, I cannot claim sickness benefit from SSS as medical records (xray and sputum results) are the requirements to attach in the claim form.

 

Oh well.

PhilippinesCan I ask SLEC to issue Med Cert so I can claim Sickness Benefit at SSS?

I would suggest contacting SSS to get the details of what they require, they may have forms for you and the doctor to complete

 

Hi, Hank! I just went to SSS today and got the forms. I will bring it to SLEC next week. Well, I am hoping they would sign and give medical records as I always hear that they don't disclose records except the usem  :( .

 

Crossing my fingers... :)

PhilippinesCan I ask SLEC to issue Med Cert so I can claim Sickness Benefit at SSS?

Good day, VJers! I have a question....

 

I am undergoing TB treatment at SLEC for almost 4 months now. I learned that as an SSS member, I have a sickness benefit.

Does anyone here (who underwent TB treatment) know or experience asking SLEC's pulmo doctor for a medical certificate or ask for some medical records for SSS sickness reimbursement purpose?

 

I stopped working because of the hassle of going to SLEC daily and for me to get better also. SSS cash claims will be a great help for me since I am a member and paying the maximum contribution while I am working.

 

Thanks in advance for the advices. :)

PhilippinesNBI Clearance Renewal

There's no "renewal" anymore.  Everyone who wants an NBI clearance are treated as new applicants.

 

Yes, no more renewal. No need to bring your old NBI clearance.

PhilippinesEnd of Treatment (DOT)

Hello guys! I just finish my TB treatment in SLEC... now waiting for the culture of my final sputum before I can proceed for the re-medical.

Does anyone here experienced the same? How was your re-medical went? Did SLEC schedule you for your interview?

 

Thanks for your time.

PhilippinesHealth Insurance in US

Hope you're not trying to use the website...dancin5hr.gif rofl.gif

However...that is the first good thing I heard about that Act.

 

Same thing with my fiance. He's not aware or do not care about this... but let's see what good it will give to me. I guess, it will help immigrants. Hopefully :)

PhilippinesHealth Insurance in US

Hello guys!

My fiance and I are a little worried about getting a health insurance in the US once I get there. I finished my TB treatment in SLEC. Will I be getting issues in getting a health insurance? Anyone here with the same situation as I am?

 

Thanks in advance for all the help.

PhilippinesDS-160 : K2 to Follow

Hello there!

I need some help here in filling-up DS-160... for those with K2 to follow. What should be my answer to this question?

"Are there other persons traveling with you?" Yes or No

I am confused, there is no option for my K2 to tell that she will be following.

 

I hope anyone here have filled-up the DS-160 with K2 to follow. Please help.

Thanks so much! :)

PhilippinesPositive TB test

My husband just started his DOT last Feb 4. He supposed to have his interview this coming Monday, Feb 10. When I heard the news from him that he'll have to undergo this treatment, it broke my heart into pieces as it's gonna a long delay. But on the brighter side atleast he'll be cured and that's more important. Anyway, my question is, do I have to contact USEmbassy in Manila or the NVC from time to time just to "keep the communication" with them. Cause what I know if a certain time had passed and they haven't heard anything from anyone about case chances are they'll cancel the case. Your reply is greatly appreciated.

 

SLEC will report your husband's case to USEM. If you want to make sure, you may contact or email USEM to confirm.

In my case, I emailed USEM and had their reply that SLEC reported my case on them and automatically extended my NOA2 until such time I finishes the medication.


Casey_AnaFemalePhilippines2014-02-09 23:00:00
PhilippinesPositive TB test

Hi! She will only undergo medication if her sputum culture is positive.

Some have negative sputum result (initial) but within or on the 2 months culture, got a positive result. If found positive, your mom will receive a call from SLEC.

Just pray that all sputum results are clear/negative.

 

By the way, I am undergoing TB treatment at SLEC as my sputum results were positive. :(

 

Good luck to your mom!

Philippineshow to get NBI in UN area..

is it true that NBI for travel abroad is 10 days processing?

 

Nope. I got mine in less than an hour, on the same day. You need to register online so you will not fall in line for encoding. All online applicants will go straight to payment counters then biometrics. Right after biometrics, your clearance will be printed.

 

But I think, if your name is a "HIT"... you will be asked to come back on the specified date written on your receipt for QA and release of your clearance.


Casey_AnaFemalePhilippines2014-03-04 01:17:00
Philippinesplease help me where nbi can get faster

Yes, NBI Main in Taft. Make sure you register online (http://nbi.njis-ph.com/) and print the application form, bring to NBI Office (bring one valid ID). Online applicants skip one step which is the encoding (this is the super long line you see outside NBI). Online applicants will go straight to payment counter, then biometrics. After biometrics, your clearance will be printed. Unless your name is a "hit", you will be asked to come back on a specified date written on your receipt.

 

This was what I did when I got my NBI clearance last month. It took me almost an hour only.

Philippines2nd medical exam St. Luke's

Hi, Ajvitan! Yes, you need to pay the medical fee again when she comes back for re-medical. She will repeat all the tests except Xray. No sputum test anymore. A day before her last medication, she will be asked to have her chest/lung xray done and will be interpreted by a pulmo doctor on the second day.

 

Good luck!

PhilippinesReport of Marriage (k-1)

Thank you Hank. I read there Requirements and I just want to clarify about the birth certificate part. My husband wasn't born here in USA, does he require a birth certificate in the country of his birth or just a document that his a citizen here in USA like a naturalization certificate and passport? Because they didn't mention that in there Requirements.


Hi, Jessel! No need for your husband's birth certificate. Only the bio-page of his US passport will be asked. I just reported my marriage. They never asked for my husband's bc. Hope this helps.
