US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	need police clearance from lebanon	QUOTE (mari joe @ Apr 13 2009, 12:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ive received noa1 and am looking down the road to noa2 my fiancee is from the Philippines and has lived there all her life except a couple of years she spent in Lebanon were she worked for 2 years so she needs a police clearance from there. I looked at the reciprocity tables at http://travel.state....ocity_3604.html and found this Police and Prison Records Available. The "Judiciary Police Record" is issued by the Judiciary Police Department, Internal Security Forces, Minister of the Interior. It does not contain any information about any political activities or affiliation to any terrorist, military, or illegal organization. It only shows any final court decision, final conviction and/or court sentence. After completing his/her sentence, an individual could request that the Ministry of Justice remove the sentence from his "Judiciary Police Record" after three to ten years, depending on the type of crime. In 1992, the Lebanese Government issued a "General Amnesty" for all crimes committed before 1991. Also, in 1996 the Lebanese Government issued a "General Amnesty" to all drug charges-related crimes committed before 1994. The criminal records are indexed and in alphabetical order. They include, in addition to the individual's name, the number and place of each individual's place of civil registration. The "Judiciary Police Record" is issued in Arabic and signed by the Chief of the Judiciary Department. To obtain the "Judiciary Police Record", the individual who is physically present in Lebanon, must personally apply, accompanied by his/her Lebanese identity card to the Police Record Department, Internal Security Forces, Ministry of Interior. The document will be issued within 48 hours. For those residing outside Lebanon, the request must be processed through Lebanese embassies/consulates, but applicants may experience extremely long waiting periods before they receive the document, or may not receive them at all. The "Judiciary Police Record" may also be requested through a lawyer having a power of attorney from the individual authorizing the request. The "Judiciary Police Record" presented by an individual does not mean that the individual is clear. It just states that "this person does not have any court sentence against him". please correct me if i am wrong or if you have some helpful advice i assume that "Judiciary Police Record"is the same as police clearance i assume i should start with the Lebanese embassy in the philippines since it says "For those residing outside Lebanon, the request must be processed through Lebanese embassies/consulates" also i assume i will need a lawyer becouse it also says "but applicants may experience extremely long waiting periods before they receive the document, or may not receive them at all. The "Judiciary Police Record" may also be requested through a lawyer having a power of attorney from the individual authorizing the request." After all of that i know it will have to be translated into English.By whom does the U.S. embassy in Manila approve to do this? And finally,When should i begin to get this document, after noa2 ? You can start getting it now...because they said it takes longer period for you to receive...Lebanon is not an easy country...so just to make sure everything will be done before your fiance's interview..just do it as early as possible...	usa_honey	Not Telling	Philippines	2009-04-13 12:08:00

Philippines	requirements to get CENOMAR if divorced	QUOTE (cezychic @ Jan 2 2009, 09:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello All! I've read some posts here of those who got annuled prior to their K1 petition. Just wanna what are the requirements to get a CENOMAR if you were divorced or annuled? My aunt was in K1 before and got married in Germany. Now, they are divorced after 2 years. Marriage didn't work out. Now, she found someone she could spent her life. Her Mr. Right. They already have plans in getting married. The only thing that is getting in the way is the CENOMAR. I only have a faxed copy of her TRANSLATED CERTIFICATION OF DIVORCE AND AUTHORIZATION LETTER with my name on it. I'm gonna take it with to Manila on Jan 5 and do this for her because she's at Germany right now. Will these be enough? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! you can apply CENOMAR online...all you need to have is 25 us dollars..but by credit card....	usa_honey	Not Telling	Philippines	2009-01-02 21:53:00

Philippines	going to the philippines with my us citizen baby	You can stay in the Philippines for a year without having to go thru immigration/ extension stay since you are still a Filipino Citizen. Not sure about your baby (how old is he/she?). If you have a passport that still shows your maiden name make sure you bring your marriage cert, also bring an affidavit of consent notarized that you husband aggreed/consented your travel with your baby. Also bring your baby's birth cert., they might ask you to present this info on your way back. Good luck! My baby is already 9 months. I am just worried about her. Is ther any fees paid upon our arrival or just when we will go out fro philippines. Thanks.	usa_honey	Not Telling	Philippines	2010-10-13 09:41:00

Philippines	CFO seminar for K1 immigrants - Philippines	QUOTE (JM2008 @ Dec 12 2008, 06:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My fiance received her K1 visa to come to the USA. Attached is the only information she received regarding the CFO. After reviewing the form, there doesn't appear to be anything on the form indicating that she needs to get any additional stamps in her passport before she can head to the USA. Is it strictly through word of mouth that K1 visa applicants know they are supposed to go to the CFO seminar? My fiance was told absolutely nothing about the CFO during her visa interview and only subsequently learned about it through other applicants she met at her medical or at her visa interview. The only stamp she has received in her passport is the St. Luke's medical stamp and attached to her passport is the visa. My attempts to reach an immigrant visa official to have my questions answered have been entirely unsuccessful. Does anyone have any official work (perhaps a website) that clearly indicates she needs the CFO seminar stamp in her passport to head to the USA? This is how the way all the immigrants can exit from philippines...we need to attend this, for the ofw like me need to attend PDOS...but all immigrant visa holder need to have CFO....only in the philippines but if your fiance exit in other countries heading usa then no need to attend CFO...me, i got my fiance visa here in hongkong but the fact that i need to see my parents first before heading usa then its they said i need to attend CFO in manila,which makes me nervous too because i dont have the so called biodata from USEM because i came from hongkong embassy.....so worried too....	usa_honey	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-12-21 07:41:00

The last time we had the RFE was November, 14 and we're asked to submit additional evidence. The documentation needed is the Original divorce paper from Japan since my fiance was married and was divorced in Japan. Now, the RFE needs to be completed in after one month but our lawyer is so slow working the papers. Just today I got an email from the USCIS that we are denied... I am so mad, sad and broken. I could not understand why these things happened. Is there anyone from VJs who got this problem too? What's the best thing to do? Can we still asked for an extension so we can continue with the application or we need to start from the beggining (which I hope not)? We paid our lawyer a big amount so he will take care of this but he's no good. He's just collecting our money and doing nothing. He is also my fiance divorce lawyer in Hawaii since they married in Hawaii and in Japan, he also needs to be divorced in Hawaii and when he knows that we are processing our visa, he then volunteered to process it but it turns out to nothing. Please give us advice.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What to do with K1 docs after getting visa	QUOTE (Haole @ Dec 30 2008, 01:23 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (dsd^rjp @ Dec 29 2008, 07:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm wondering what did you guys do with the documents returned by the embassy when you picked up ur passport & visa?.. These documents are the one that originally sent by the petitioner to USCIS when filing for K1 (e.g.: phone bills, itineraries, letters, etc). Should I bring them to the US??... will I need them again at POE and when I file for AOS?.. The docs are quite bulky.. so I thought if I won't need them again, I will just leave them at home :-) thanks for ur reply & have a wonderful New Year :-) Were they in a sealed envelope? I think she is talking about the documents that the consul gave back to her aside from the brown envelop HAOLE, these includes the photos,iteneraries for the trip, emails, letters...inshort these are the evidence of relationship....	usa_honey	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-12-30 01:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Evidence Of Relationship	QUOTE (Conan @ Jan 7 2009, 02:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Haole @ Jan 7 2009, 01:24 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Conan @ Jan 6 2009, 09:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am gathering evidence of my relationship to my fiance. I had a few questions. Is it ok to just give her copies of receipts, ticket stubs, etc for the embassy or does she need originals? Also I am having problems printing chat transcripts. I go to history and click one but it only prints the first page. I can save it and open it. But when I do that it looks like it is in notebook and looks like something I could have just typed up. Should I copy whole transcripts or is just the first page of one a month fine? How many do you recommend and how many pages? Also I hardly have any emails and don't have any letters because we chat and talk on the phone everyday. There was no need. Is this bad or does it matter? Thank you. "There was no need." YES THERE IS AND WAS! You still have time to get GOOD phone records. Booth of you send each other once aweek snail mails. Do some screen prints. Get her all the originals of EVERYTHING you can. You shouldn't need them and she might! Do about 3 complete chats a month. Shoot each other some more emails. How do I print Yahoo chats without it making it look like I could have just typed the whole thing in Notebook? I found a way to print but it only prints the 1st page no matter what. The other way I found to print will print the whole thing but it looks like it was done in Notepad and could have been made up my fiance also cannot print it so what i did is i went to an internet cafe to open his mailbox and i ask somebody there to help me print it...maybe you ask your gf to do so( thats if if you can give her your password) ....try to send greeting cards...and ask her to send you letters too...its not hard to write a letter is it?because for me i just got 1 email from hin and i didnt send any emails to him also all i did was collect all the phonecards and IDD...and the consul said thats more than enough because he saw in the bills that we talk almost 2 hours each day....good luck try to do all the possible way....	usa_honey	Not Telling	Philippines	2009-01-07 02:58:00
