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?

PhilippinesPhilippine Police Certificates
me too they never asked for any police clearance from me and I lived in Marikina when I turned 17 and moved to Naga when I was 21...I also had the same dilemma with regards to that question so I asked our hired attorney to explain it to me but he said that I only need an NBI clearance since I didn't leave the country since I turned 16...I actually tried to get a police clearance and the police man that I spoke too was just confused why I still need to get a police clearance if I already have an NBI clearance...he said "it's not making any sense at all" :P and about the term "no derogatory file" "no criminal conviction" no record on file" don't worry they're all the same :) I regularly get my NBI clearance and those phrase appear in each of those and I can assure you that I haven't commit any crimes or what so ever:P it just mean that she hasn't been sue or convicted with any case...so your wife is fine :)

PhilippinesDelta flight issue
I'm sorry for the hassle that it caused the both of you :( that's why I bought my ticket on cash since I don't have credit cards anymore for the same reason. I know they will check for the ID and the credit card that was used to purchase the ticket. I hope the best for both of you.

Philippinesvisa delivery
I leave in Naga City in Bicol Region which is 9hrs. away from Manila and it took them 13 days before I got my visa. :)I called the USembassy hotline to check for the status of my visa but I don't have the number right now :( but other way you can check for the visa status is through their email : its IVManilaReplies@state.gov they will answer all your questions but it will take them 2 or three days before you can hear from them but they are very reliable ;).

PhilippinesWhen does the embassy send a letter...
you have (2) options: 1. if your USC fiancee already got a letter from NVC with your case MNL or case number on it just ask him to scan it then forward it to your email then print it out, take that form with you and go to St. Lukes for your medical then schedule your interview online or through phone if you already pass the medical which will run for two days :) or vice versa set an interview first print the interview confirmation letter then proceed with your medical exam :) one tip : when you schedule your interview through phone just tell the agent that you already got the letter from the USembassy stating that you can schedule your appointment online so they won't reject you. I did experienced this before so the next time I called I told them that I already have my letter but I did not :P 2. after your USC fiancee received his NOA2 but with out your MNL or case number on it you can try calling the NVC after 2 weeks and ask for your case number :) then you can proceed to St. Lukes and just provide your case number to them :) they will just put there a note saying that you will proceed with your medical exam but with out an interview schedule yet. I hope this information will help you somehow :) DON'T WAIT FOR THE LETTER COMING FROM THE USEMBASSY MANILA SAYING THAT YOU CAN PROCEED WITH YOUR MED EXAM AND INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never got this letter up to present and I'm already flying to the States by Feb 11 :P you won't be needing this letter when you go to your interview just the confirmation sheet with you interview schedule on it and a valid I.D that's it!!! If you still need any advice just ask here in VJ we will be glad to help you!!! GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU GUYS :)

Philippinesproblems getting my confirmation letter
They already reset my password and I got it while we were still talking on the phone...but the thing is the password still doesn't work :( It keeps on saying that "I'm entering and invalid passport number or receipt" I don't know what's wrong. :( even the agent couldn't help me she just told me that she'll just send my information again to the higher department and that's it! everything is just making me anxious :(

Philippinesproblems getting my confirmation letter

I got mine but I had to work for it. Go to the main page and click.
"Applying for an Immigrant Visa Appointment" at the bottom left.
click the "download my appointment letter"
Should take you to the verification page. If you get this far the rest is easy.

did you scheduled your appointment even with out receiving the letter coming from the USembassy Manila? cause I haven't got my letter yet as well but I tried scheduling my appointment. They already reset my password twice and still not working. I wonder if it would really take them about 48 hrs before I can access my appointment. :(

Philippinesproblems getting my confirmation letter
Hi guys, I scheduled my interview through phone today and it was approved for January 6, but my problem is I'm having difficulties in getting the confirmation sheet...The site that the agent gave to me is www.ustraveldocs.com/ph and I clicked on download my appointment letter and entered everything correctly but it's giving me a message that it's invalid like the passport and date of payment but everything is correct. Then I called the embassy again and spoke to the same lady and asked for my UID number and it's still saying that I have invalid passport number???? Can some one tell me how can I download my confirmation sheet??? pls..I really need your help :(

Philippineslost xray cd from St. Lukes
I'm glad to hear that most of the people here agreed on one thing :D now there is no confusion :) thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
krissyjoeFemalePhilippines2011-01-27 20:04:00
Philippineslost xray cd from St. Lukes

:yes: :thumbs: one thing that might prove inconvenient is if she also lost her DS-3025 vaccination record from St Lukes. it's used during AOS. it's posssible she may have to retake vaccinations if she doesn't have vaccination records.



she said that she kept that sheet at home ;) good thing she didn't have it with her during that time or else it will be a big inconvenience on her part. Thank you :)

Philippineslost xray cd from St. Lukes
she passed her medical exam at St. Lukes with flying colors so I don't think she has any problems with her chest xray. I guess I'll just tell her to not worry about it and just go on with her flight with out that cd :) thank you so much for answering :)
krissyjoeFemalePhilippines2011-01-27 00:27:00
Philippineslost xray cd from St. Lukes

The medical center gives the x-ray to visa holder as something you can give your family doctor state side.

After visa medical, you wont need it again for immigrations.

In our case the x-ray remained in it's tube never to be needed again after the visa medical.



so it's okay for her not to get a new one? cause once she enter the States with out that it won't be a problem? or is it something that can be obtain in the States again once someone ask for it? I bet my friend will be happy to know this. Thank you for the info!! You're such a big help :)

Philippineslost xray cd from St. Lukes
My friend message me this morning and told me that she had been robbed last night and those guys took away her folder with her St. Lukes chest X-ray on it. She is really worried that she might not get a replacement for it? Is it possible to attain a new copy of it? and the mere fact that her flight is going to be on the 10 of Feb :( Is there some one out here who got through this thing? What did you do? Thank you so much and I hope to hear from all of you guys.

PhilippinesFilipina wife issues....advice please...
my sympathy to you my friend :( I'm sorry you have to deal with those things...sad but that is really the reality here in the Philippines. You're lucky if you'll find a girl here who would understand that once you marry her it doesn't mean you're married to her entire clan and that you need to provide for them. I guess just talk to her again and if she's capable of working then maybe she could work so it's not only you who will shoulder everything. I hope you'll fix everything between the two of you and that it will save your marriage. Good luck!!!

PhilippinesCFO seminar in Cebu
oh and about the age difference I don't think they would care at all :) as I've posted earlier it's like talking to a friend :) they are very friendly and accommodating :)they ask questions with a smile on their face :D so about the divorce thing...they will just ask when did he filed the divorce?, what year? does he have a kid with his previous marriage? why it didn't work? questions just like that. I suggest just wait for her to get her visa since the CFO seminar can be completed in less than 4 hrs. ;) then she will have everything that she needs when she leaves the compound :D the 2 certificates and the CFO sticker.

PhilippinesCFO seminar in Cebu
I did my seminar at PRISM located Katipunan infront of PSBA it's run by nuns :) I got there at 1 pm and done with everything at 3;30 pm ;) I also live outside Manila but after my interview I waited for almost 13 days till I got my visa :D. Don't worry about the questions, they only ask typical questions with your fiancee like where you two met each other, what's your mother's maiden name and such...it's pretty easy so tell her to relax :) it's like talking to a friend :) this is for documentation purposes only so they could have a record if anything bad happens with your filipina fiancee out side the Philippines. She only needs to bring 3 copies of her visa, 3x passport biographic page, pen, then download the necessary form that she needs to fill out and she also needs to fill out one form too when she get there :) after that, she should pay the fees :) no need to bring pictures if you go to that place. GOOD LUCK to both of you :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresmedical and interview requirements for K1
Hi there everyone, I would just like to ask if it's possible to have my interview date set if I haven't receive my hard copy from the USEM saying that I can have my medical and set my interview. But my fiancee already got a notice from the USCIS with our case number on it and what he did is he scanned it and send it to me via email. I know I can use this to go ahead for my medical exam but do you think that I can also use this for my interview? if not, what should I bring with me? and what forms do I need to fill out? He already send his evidence of support so that is already check :)

Oh and one more thing...He got our letter with our case number on it last December 1, 2010... How long will it take for me to receive my own copy?

Thank you and hoping for your response.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresi have a question

hello everyone , my fiance will come soon and he gonna stay only 4 day with me becoz of his work after he should back to america , do u think 4 days is enough for us to apply for visia , coz it will be the first time for us to visit the consulate and we gonna do the first step,
thanks u soo much




Same thing happened with me...what my fiancee and I did, is when he went out to visit me he took all the forms that I need to fill out and needs to be signed so that when he gets back to the States that he can file for our K1 visa. In my case we don't need to go to the US embassy in Manila because he needs to file it first in the States. So that's all we did! gather as many pictures of the two of you and with relatives as much as possible ;) that's all he can do while he's visiting you. Oh and don't forget to keep all the tickets, boarding pass and receipts of the hotel...it will be useful in the future ;) GOOD LUCK TO US :)
