PhilippinesQuick ?

So they pretty much send it right off after they print it ?

It was about a week for my wife to get it between printing and delivery in Davao City. We were pretty quick on that compared to others at the same time last September. 2go never was able to track her visa, and even the day she received it, calls to them said they didn't know where it was or if they even had it. Some other's waiting at the same time waited two weeks from printing to delivery. I know we were all set to rebook her airline tickets if it didn't show up by the day after it did. I should mention there was a 2 day holiday in the Philippines between our approval and printing to the delivery, which kind of mucked up the timing and knowing exactly when things happened.

I really hope she gets it in time. Good luck.

PhilippinesClose one!!!
Congrats! I wouldn't worry about getting scammed by 2go too much. Its just the way things go in RP. When she's here with you, you'll totally forget the few bucks you got scammed for. Just like I forgot the 4000P customs fee the Philippines post office charged my wife to get some of the paperwork I sent her lol.

PhilippinesFirst Mass in 40 years

Some people who follow religion or are catholic might get offended by your statement. You are putting God down. Not a nice thing to say. You saying that you went to the church because of your baby not to give respect to God. :crying: Please be careful :angry:


I'm at church every Sunday, and I thought it was a great read. He got her there so she could practice her faith, which is wonderful! God can take care of being offended if he feels so. My own opinion was he was there and maybe he'll find his own faith one day by seeing his wife and others practice theirs. As it is he respects her's, which is more than enough.

PhilippinesThings you had to buy and/or throw away?
Bought lots of clothes, rice cooker (let her pick it out when she got here), tabo, lots and lots of pinoy food. Can't think of anything I needed to get rid of. Except some photos of my ex wife. Actually they weren't mine, they were in things I have stored for my mother, but she found them and I paid the price for that. Dumb me, I should have gone through and removed everything that might have shown I had a previous marriage or relationship. Don't make my mistake, go through everything and purge, purge, purge.

To comment on what my Filipina wife does as far as house keeping, she does pretty much everything around the house. Washes, cooks, irons, cleans, does the dishes, etc... But I'll also pitch in if she's busy and things need doing. I expect I'll do a lot more again when she finds a job. At first I did most of it, until I had taught her how to use everything, then I never got the chance again. As to money and work, although I tell her its our money, she wants to make money so she can feel she has contributed to the household. She's always saying "Sorry for spending your money". Doesn't matter how many times I tell her its our money, she still has that internal view. I think she might be slowly, very slowly changing in that view, but its going to take a long time.

PhilippinesHow realistic is it to get all the manila portion of the visa pricess done in 3-4 weeks?
Not very likely. A month for our approved K1 to go from the California service center to the NVC. A week before the NVC opened, processed and sent it off to Manila. Three weeks until the interview once we had the case number. Then we were lucky and got the visa delivered only 2.5 weeks after the interview. Many at that time were waiting a lot longer. Ours was actually one of the faster processed ones last summer and it was almost two and half months between NOA2 and visa being received.

PhilippinesDoes ITR has baring?
For the IRS you are single in 2011, not married. What matters is your status at the end of the year, not most of the year. You divorce could be final on January 31st, and that would make you single for taxes.

You will need a Certificate of Marriage Dissolution showing a date before you filed. If you were married more than once, you need one showing each marriage was ended. These are supposed to be included in the petition.

PhilippinesDoes ITR has baring?
If his state has a waiting period after divorcing before he can remarry, he better wait that out before he files for the K1. I've seen at least one person get denied over that with a K1.

PhilippinesCRBA question

She may have fear of him trying to take her to the States, which is why she isn't being cooperative.


Philippine courts on not very friendly to non-filipinos and heavily biased towards mothers. A Filipina can take her USC children back the the Philippines and prevent the USC father from ever seeing them again even if he had full custody in the USA. He might at best manage to get visitation in the Philippines if he had enough money, fought hard enough and got a little lucky. With a child born out of wedlock there, he'd be lucky to get even that. It would be much better to stay on good terms with the child's mother and not press the CRBA now if its going to cause problems with her.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-03-13 14:18:00
PhilippinesCRBA question

thanks for the reply Caryh, yes his name is in the birth certificate and he has a copy of that, pictures of her as she grows up although not every year but
he tried to be with his daughter whenever he's in the Philippines, copy of money transfer that he had sent to her Mom, copy of her ultra sound overseas
where she was conceived. In fact he is scheduled to see her this May and hopefully talked to her mom about it.



thanks Precious one.


Sounds like he has what it takes to get it done then. It would seem foolish of the girl's mother to deny her a US citizenship. It could open a lot of options for her that many Filipinos won't get. But then she might be reacting out of emotion and not logical thinking.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-03-13 09:49:00
PhilippinesCRBA question
It might be possible, but I doubt its going to be easy. Was his name on the birth certificate? If he can get an NSO birth certificate, he may be able to get it done. He needs to prove he was with the mother and fathered the child. If he's recorded as the father, and admits being the father, then he may be able to do it. If he's not officially recognized as the father on the birth certificate, it's probably not very likely he can accomplish the task without her cooperation. But if his former girl friend doesn't want him having any contact with the child, I do see how much good its going to do him. He could get it for the child and his daughter may never even know they are a USC.

PhilippinesSelf-employed

Not true. You need to show proof of current income if so requested, and minimally, current tax return (transcript), or show why you are not required to file a return. The interviewing officer has a great deal of discretion on deciding whether or not a non-immigrant will end up becoming a public charge, and as of Feb 1, many IO's have been requesting 2011 tax returns.


However, in the case of the Embassy in Manila, that is not going to happen.


My now wife wasn't asked for any of the documentation I sent her at the interview. She had piles of information wanting to make sure nothing was missing, but the CO didn't ask for a single item. My application was extremely complete also though and we've know each other for years which I had included evidence of in the petition. Well at least after the RFE where I really piled on a lot of extra information. The CFO was another matter. They wanted to see 3 years worth of transcripts and were sending some girls home saying they needed to have those before they would allow them to get a stamp. Seems the CFO had a higher standard of peering up my butt than the embassy did. Last August it appeared if you're iffy on evidence with the embassy, the CFO is going to really be hard to get through.

PhilippinesAirlines in the PH
The planes are safer than the ferries, which are safer than the taxis, which are safer than walking on the streets of Manila. All of the planes I've been on there have been relatively decent. I've been on commuter plans in the good old USA that have left me feeling more worried than any I took in the Philippines. Its not out of any preference for an airline, but I've always flew Cebu Pacific while inside the Philippines. They just seemed to have the best flight option and price for me.

PhilippinesWhich name use for AOS forms and all else?

Yes, although SS number receipt somewhat delayed, still did get before first 90 days arrival finished. Yes, trying to get back to SS office, hoping won't encounter same uncooperative official as before (For entire story, see http://www.visajourn...k1-visa-holder/). Hoping and praying will know about local custom of just changing ID to desired married name!


Sounds like your best chance of getting your name legally established correctly there so you can use it in adjusting status. We had a very nice person at the local SS office. I hope you get a good one to. Sounds like you'd be best served going to the larger city office, and not the small two person office. Its frustrating when an official of a business or government doesn't know their job. It happens everywhere, even the Philippines. All you can do is keep trying until you get the one that does know what they're doing. Good luck.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-03-28 10:38:00
PhilippinesWhich name use for AOS forms and all else?

We live in Michigan. At marriage you have 3 choices for the brides name: No chnage, change last name to husband's or change last name to hypenated both last names (but can't change middle name). Yes its relatively easy to change through the court but we were tired of dealing with government entities after all the K-1 work, getting a SS number and driver's license and said to hell with it.


At least keeping the maiden name is a valid name per the Philippine government. They won't allow a passport to be issued with the other versions of the name. Which would leave her with three different valid names when traveling internationally. What a mess that would be. In Minnesota, you can change both the husband's and wife's name to anything you want and its documented right on the marriage certificate. Which includes both names before marriage and then the line "the names of the parties after their marriage, shall be and has both our names there. Makes it pretty clear, easy and accommodating to any cultural norm.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-03-27 11:54:00
PhilippinesWhich name use for AOS forms and all else?

@Caryh--Thank you for continuing comments and especially in regards to SS card. Had delays getting SS card prior to marriage and now want to change card to married name with former maiden name as middle name but also I-94 is expired, too. So what documents, other than EAD, would be considered "official" enough to show old and new name? Hoping certified marriage certificate in my case will be enough. However, might be worth looking into legal name change process, too.


Did you get your SS number before the the first 90 days of arrival was over? If you did, bring your passport and certified marriage certificate to change your name to a local SS office. They should now about the local custom of just changing your ID's to your desired married name. You can't apply for your SS card if you missed that first 90 days until you can legally work as in having your EAD or Green card. Its a little known option, but the K1 visa is a valid work visa during those first 90 days, which is why you can get the SS card during that time. You cannot apply for an original SSN unless you're legal to work. But you should be able to change your name for the card you already have.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-03-27 11:24:00
PhilippinesWhich name use for AOS forms and all else?

We completed our AOS forms using my wife's maiden name as her middle name but the immigration officer at our interview would not allow that. He said we would have to legally change it which we chose not to do. The green card was issued with her at birth middle name.


And thats where the problem arises when a state doesn't make the name change formal and leaves it to the bride to try and convince everyone she has the right to change her name at marriage. Maybe you state has a simple inexpensive way to change your name in the courts? My state provided the option when applying for the marriage certificate. The Social Security administration says you need proof that you have the right to change your name. Such as an official document showing both the old and new names. Going to the local SS office with the certified marriage certificate and your ID might work in a state that leaves everything up to you to do though. You just can't get a new one unless you get it before the I-94 expires or you have at least the EAD. If you can change it there, you have a document from the federal government proving its your legal name now.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-03-27 11:02:00
PhilippinesWhich name use for AOS forms and all else?
You should be using your legal name. In some states you change your name legally in the marriage license application. After you're married, what you enter there becomes your new legal name. Some states have a form to fill out after marriage. Some you just start using it. Different states have different methods of having your name changed after marriage. Find out what your state requires and follow that method.

The Philippines will only recognize certain forms of your new married name.

Traditional Philippines name was FirstName MothersLastName FathersLastName
Traditional Philippines name changes to FirstName FathersLastName HusbandsLastName
There's a few other options the Philippines government will allow your name to be, but that is the most traditional change. Keeping you before marriage name is also acceptable to the Philippines government. Not following one of their allowed methods will cause problems when you deal with the Philippines government, like in renewing your passport or changing it to your new married name.


1 So to conclude, you can't just assume any new name, you need to use your legal name. Commonly a woman changes her name when she gets married, although here they can change it to anything they want, and so can the husband.

2 You'll cause all kinds of problems using a name you're not legally entitled to. Do it right the first time and avoid trouble later.

Philippinesconfused about what passport to get....
You're going to have to get them the USA passport for entering the USA. Its now required of USA citizens to use their USA passport when entering our country. The Philippines passport is optional, but will make it clear they are citizens of the Philippines when they return to the Philippines, but they can be acquired at later date. Another advantage of the USA passport, is many more countries are open to their travel.

PhilippinesVisiting Fiance after visa, before entry
You need an exiting ticket to enter the Philippines on a tourist Visa. It does not need to be a return ticket, but you need to show you're going to leave the country again. Some get a forward ticket to another close country with a cheap flight and throw it away. Typical entry with no visa is 21 days, its supposed to change to 28 days shortly if it hasn't already. You can extend that when you enter, then extend again and again. The thing to be careful of is when her visa expires. Many have assumed they have more time than they do and let it expire before leaving. I'm not sure how you plan to qualify on income to adjust status after taking half a year off, but if you've got a workable plan, more power to you. Enjoy your trip!

PhilippinesBooking Flight but it says credit card holder should be passenger
With Delta I was required to go to the airport and show my credit card after I bought her tickets. Its quite the pain in the butt, as the airport is a long way from my home, parking is horrendous and expensive and the lines very long. Took about 4 hours to get that done. I sure wish they had a ticketing agent off site that could have handled this. I love how they said its for my protection. If my card was stolen and I failed to report it, the worst I could be out is $50. They guaranteed it cost me $50 in gas and parking, plus the lost time.

PhilippinesBelow poverty line ..

because we both didn't know about CRBA before... Someone explained to me about CRBA just a few months ago.. We were afraid to apply CRBA, and my IR-1, because he didn't reach the 3 household income level/line.... He only reach two, which is himself and could be me or my son.. to bring in the US ... :( ..


As Bob 4 Anna said, do not try to hide your son. Getting caught trying to lie or hide the truth can cause you big problems which could make a permanent ban for you. I understand you want to be with your husband, but it might take waiting until he has more income or can find a co-sponsor. You might as well get the CRBA completed, then see what you can do for both of you to get here. It might take waiting a little longer, but at least you won't be leaving you son behind. Or if you do choose to leave him with family until you're working here, at least you know there will be no question that he can come over any time.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-04-02 15:47:00
PhilippinesBelow poverty line ..

Wait a minute, if the son is a US Citizen then he doesn't need a Visa to come to the US.

Also in this case I doubt you could simply not mention the child for the Affidavit of Support as you will both be providing support for the child so your household size will still be 3.

Has he looked into getting a Co-sponsor?


My thoughts exactly on this. How can he not claim his son already? He should be reporting the birth abroad for his son and getting his son's passport. I have a hard time seeing them ignoring a joint child in the household income size. After all, as soon as the wife comes here they can report the birth and bring over the son without a visa.

PhilippinesFellow K1 visa petitioners need help...
If you have the MNL# then you're done making calls. You could have been processing the rest already. Get the interview fee paid right away and schedule the interview. You want to have about 2 weeks between the Medical and the interview so the results have time to get to the embassy. Some have problems if its too soon after or too late after. Thrilla already gave you the link for the packet and instructions. As long as she has all the evidence now, and nothing bad shows up in the medical, you should be able to easily get the visa before you leave. Try to get the interview at least two weeks before the departure date. They can be a bit slow with printing and delivery. Even when delivery is for pickup right at the 2Go office in Manila.

PhilippinesApplying for passport name change while visiting the Philippines
The need an original copy of your marriage certificate as well as multiple photocopies. They keep the original to, at least when you send the papers to the consulate. I know here, you can do both at the same time at the consulate. I wouldn't think doing both at the same time there would be much of a problem as long as you have everything they require.
Here's the list of required items.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS:

Four (4) original duly-accomplished Report of Marriage Contracted Abroad form, typed or printed legibly in black or blue ink, signed by both husband and wife, and notarized if sent by mail
Four (4) identical colored photos of the husband and four (4) identical colored photos of the wife, 2” x 2”, taken within six months before the date of application, showing a clear front view of applicant’s face without eyeglasses, with a white background. No sleeveless attire. Blurred or low quality photos are not accepted.
One (1) original or certified true copy and four (4) photocopies of the Marriage Certificate or Contract (original will be returned)
Four (4) photocopies of a government-issued identification card or passport of both husband and wife
Four (4) photocopies of Philippine birth certificate of Filipino spouse
Self-addressed return envelope, with appropriate stamps, via US Postal Service or private courier of choice, preferably with tracking numbers, if Report of Marriage is to be mailed back
Processing fee of $25.00 (non-refundable), payable in money order, bank draft, certified check or cashier’s check, and cash when personally applying. Personal checks and credit cards are not accepted.

Two of my brother in laws are seamen and have left the country on numerous visas. They have had to retake the CFO each time they got a new visa. Since one of them always returns to the same countries to work, I'd assume the same condition of retaking the CFO would apply to you. New Visa equals new sticker. Had you adjusted status you'd have a different situation because you'd no longer be a resident of the Philippines and would be returning home when you leave.

PhilippinesMarriage is breaking apart

Anyway, as for the OP, "being a good wife". Filipina indeed is a good wife if you find a real one and not a con artist. It's cultural thing that Filipina willing to do sacrifice to work out things esp marriage. You are happy with your marriage that's why its hard for you to think about the OP situation. I am happy too with my marriage but leaving my husband is impossible for me to do because life depends on him so much that it's scared me to death to think living without me. But not all husband is like our husband, that's why the OP is having dilemma right now. The OP just wanted to have normal marriage life which mean having a normal husband and kids of her own.


I whole heartedly agree with that comment. A good Filipina makes a great wife. My wife is always very concerned with how well she is taking care of me. The smallest details I would have never thought about in the past, and she's there taking care of them. I still don't worry about them, with her around its taken care of. But its completely a two way street. A good Filipina will truly take care of you, but you better be taking care of her to. You'll have to the learn the things she needs as everyone is an individual. She'll truly appreciate it and show it when you make sure those things are done for her in return. The OP's husband has taken advantage of the giving side of his wife, and ignored her needs and desires in life. She's his wife, not his maid or slave. And look what she's asking for, intimacy, love, children, a normal life. She waited a heck of a lot longer than most people would have in the hopes he would give it to her. While I hate to hear of a marriage that didn't work out, I wish her well in finding the life her soon to be ex-husband refused to give to her. Its sad he just used her and never truly took her as his true wife and partner. Because those that do are truly blessed.

PhilippinesSecond wedding in Phils

I agree with your post...except for the first line. I don't know of any reporting requirement for Filipino citizens who were married in the U.S. Since Chinook is not going to amend or renew her Filipino passport, and she doesn't plan on becoming a dual citizen, we don't plan on reporting our marriage.


Let me rephase that then, per the consulate "The marriage of a Filipino should be reported to and registered with the Philippine National Statistics Office through the Embassy/Consulate General having jurisdiction over the locality where the event took place." Required isn't exactly the right term, since no one is going to get into any trouble if they don't. Its required only if you wish to officially use your married name with the Philippine government, such as renewing your passport in your married name.
CaryhMalePhilippines2012-04-11 15:03:00
PhilippinesSecond wedding in Phils
Filipino Citizens are required to report their marriage abroad. That is the official line. You cannot get marriage license in the Philippines again without proving singleness. You would have to lie to do so, and fail to report your marriage. You can have a wedding ceremony, but you should not be doing it with a license. My wife and I intend to get married in the Catholic church in the Philippines when we return. We already were married by a minister and that was our legal wedding in the USA. The ceremony in the Philippines, will make our marriage official with the Catholic church, while legally we are already married in both countries. We have also already reported our marriage to our local Philippines Consulate. We wanted to get that settled by mail before the consulate outreach program shows up in our city this summer so we can renew her passport in her married name.
If you're married, you can't get married to each other again. But you can have a marriage ceremony, to have it recognized by a church or just to celebrate with family that could not make it to a wedding on the other side of the planet.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 evidence (or lack thereof)

You don't need to put her on a bunch of utility bills, these rarely show both parties any way. You don't really need all those things either, they're just helpful in showing evidence.

The evidence you have is great evidence, and you can supplement it with a state ID showing the same address as your driver's license. Mail addressed to you or her to that address, and mail addressed to both of you. Dated pictures together, affidavits of friends and family, particularly your family. Basically anything that shows you're a married couple, heck I sent mailings from our church addressed to us both. My wife wasn't on the home loan, but I did get her added to the home deed. So she's not responsible for the loan, but she does have ownership in the home. If you haven't done that, its a bit late to start now, but you did mention she's listed on property.

I think you're going to be fine, just fill in some of those other areas that don't have to do with joint accounts. Some people get through the ROC with very little evidence, some it seems to take a bit more.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionA bit problematic situation of my i-751. Please help!

Thanks for your question, Caryh. The situation is, My family and My wife family live in oversea and they might not like us to marry. Hence, none of them sent us a mail, even in Christmas. I occasionally called them through internet phone service, but it is no record can prove that. However, i do got some letter from the college with her name and my name (Names are in separate letter, but we go to the same college) to our address. Does it help?

 

Any ideas for me??? Thanks a lot!!!

 

The letters do not need to be addressed to you both, some to her and some to you work. They show you are living at the same location, even when one comes to her and another to you. Its small evidence, but lots of little pieces can build the big picture. I hope you saved the envelopes, because unless the actual letters contain your address and are dated, they won't do you much good. 

I can't see phone call records being much use. Unless it was records of you two always calling and texting each other on your cell phones. 

Sorry your family doesn't approve of your marriage. That has to suck.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionA bit problematic situation of my i-751. Please help!

Do you have the envelopes of mailings to each of you over time? might be cards received from family or friends that you tucked back in the envelope and saved?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAre we filing a "JOINT" I-751??

Its joint because you're still married and together. If you get called for an interview, which is rare, both need to show up.

I'd just write the letter again. It worked with the 2 year green card, why would it not work with the removing conditions? They have the previous documents you filed. Everything you send to them, they do keep. Getting a copy back is not easy, but they can get to it if they have the need. You really should save copies of everything they send you in the future, but I think you're already kicking yourself for not doing that  :lol:
