US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS160 Replaces DS-156, DS-157, DS-158
Hi I have a question with regards to my DS-160 and DS-157. DS-160: just noticed last night that I made 3 errors. 1. in putting my fiancee's address in the column US contact information : instead of putting 590 I put 509 in his address 2. I forgot to put the #14 in my lot number in the home address column. 3. in the travel information column : I misspelled Mountainside "Mountaindside"...what do you think should I do to correct this? we haven't set an appointment yet for my interview so can I just do this DS-160 again? or what?

Regarding to my DS-157 : I forgot to put 9 on my fiancee's zip code instead of putting 98027 I put 8027...can I just do this form again?

I hope you can help me with all my questions. I'm really worried that this would cause me some major problems.

Thanks guys!!!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionabout DS-160 and DS-157
I think I can redo the DS-157 it's just the DS-160 that I'm not sure if I can do it again or not since it's being filed online.

Thank you so much for everyone who's responding :) I really appreciate your effort.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionabout DS-160 and DS-157

yes, it's better to redo the forms than submit them with errors. when you put in the correct information (spelling and all) it shows that you know your fiance well enough =)




so I'll just fill out the DS-160 again?

I suggest that you start filling out those forms when your fiancee receive a letter from the USCIS with your MNL or should they call it case number on it :D there's no rush in completing those forms cause there just so easy to complete :D good luck girlie and I hope you'll get your NOA2 pretty soon. wish you all the luck in your journey :)

US Embassy and Consulate Discussioncase number
In our case we called the NVC 2 weeks after we get the NOA2 :) then after getting your case number you can now call the USembassy to set her interview :) Don't wait for the instruction packet that your fiancee will receive before she can proceed with the medical and interview process. I never got the letter but I still pursue my medical and interview and until now that I'm already leaving for the States on Feb 11 I still never got the instruction packet coming from the embassy :P. Good luck to both of you...you're almost there ;) 2 months more or less.

call back again the call center and ask them if you can get your UID number just provide some of your infos that you gave while you're scheduling your appointment. I never get that site working :( they sent me an email with my password but the link was broken and had to call them several times but no one can help me :( so I'm calling again tomorrow morning. Yes unfortunately we have to log in to that site just to get our confirmation letter. I hope it works for you.

PhilippinesPossible to send money from a paypal account?
I don't think Paypal will work if you don't have any card to verify it with...that's what we know.
krissyjoeFemalePhilippines2010-12-30 21:27:00
PhilippinesPossible to send money from a paypal account?
my fiancee also tried sending me money through Paypal and unfortunately it's still sitting on my account for almost 4months now :P although it only took me 24hr. to access my money but the problem is I only have a BDO debit card which unfortunately they don't allow transaction online, so I didn't get it and send half of the money back to my fiancee since there is no way for me to get it out.The remaining half is still stuck in my Paypal account cause I need to verify a card (which I don't have) before I can access the money again. I guess it doesn't work for us but I think it will work if the one who's gonna receive it here in the Philippines has a credit/debit card that will allow the user to transact online.

Does any one know here how long will it takes for me to receive my visa? I would like to know the time frame so I can plan ahead in buying my plane ticket while it's still cheap :P

Hi guys, I would just like to leave a quick note to say thank you to everyone who helped me all the way through this journey :)it's been a struggle for me and my fiancee starting from the day that we filed our petition. But just this morning I received my visa in my hometown in Naga but I'm staying here in Manila so I asked someone to pick it up for me and resend it again here in my current address. I was pretty surprised how fast I got my visa. I wasn't expecting it until the 27 :P but I'm glad it exceeded my expectations. My medical and passport wasn't actually forwarded to the Usembassy until the 10 and they printed my visa on the 13. I had my interview last January 6 and we are so happy that we're going to be together soon. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! this site is really amazing!!!!

in my case my interview was set at at 6:45 and I get out at the embassy at 4pm :P it's because my documents from st. lukes where not yet there so that cause the delays. But if all her papers where properly turn over to the embassy she can get everything done by before 10am :) relax she's going to be fine I noticed that if you have all the necessary documents with you on the interview then there is no freaking way that she'll get denied :D I actually got lost in some questions :P but I was still approved last January 6 :D

I went to Good Sheperd Convent located at Katipunan Ave,. in front of PSBA :) they'll ask you for 3 copies of your visa,3 copies of passport bio page and the fees amounting to 650.00 no additional charge that's all you have to pay :) oh and don't forget to download the CFO forms before you go there, answer it cause you also need to fill out another form somewhat similar to that when you get there:)it's going to be two forms that you will be submitting one for the seminar and the second one is to get your certificate and sticker which will be both place on your passport ;) . I went there at 1:30 pm and got done before 4pm. So that's really nice :D Best of luck and Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi girl, he's right :) if you wish to ask questions here kindly put your words in English so "everyone" can put their feedbacks and not just only those who understand the language ;). I don't know what Notarized Parental Advice is but I think it's somewhat similar to giving permission to your daughter which is under age to get married and be notarized by an attorney. I could be wrong though, but I think that's it! anyways, take care and good luck with the K1 journey ;)

PhilippinesPhilippine Police Certificates
gotcha!!! that's the exact phrase I submitted for the USEM ;) so you won't be needing any letter of explanation at all :D the two other phrase on my NBI clearance are " No criminal record on file" and "no derogatory record" and I haven't encountered any problems using those certificates at all :) " no record on file" in here means the person hasn't commit any crimes at all not because they can't locate her name in their system. I'll give you an example :) if your wife commits a crime it will appear on her record because they gather all the datas from every precinct :) it will appear " with pending criminal case" or "with derogatory record"... I'm not entirely sure if they still use this terms now a days :P I just learned it way back in my law subject and they will not let you leave the office until you talk to someone and get the required waiver or letter stating this case, they normally call someone's attention for this...if your wife has the same name with other person and with criminal record they would ask her to go back to the NBI after 7 working days so they can verify this. It's not because your wife doesn't appear in their system it's simply means she hasn't done anything against the law ;) so you'll be fine my friend :) Best of luck to both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear we helped you in our own little way :)

PhilippinesPhilippine Police Certificates

Thank you krissyjoe...clearly it means NBI. My wife didn't mention and issue getting the certificates from the local police...but then again...she may have just not mentioned any funny looks she got when she asked for them...but God bless her, she got the certificates and sent them to me anyway.

I will say the the phrasing on the NBI certificate does make a difference. Here is what USEM says about that (of course, this could be wrong too...with this, in probably is):




Can I ask what is the "exact phrase" that the NBI people put on her clearance?
