PhilippinesWHY ARE WE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR DOCUMENT VERIFICATION NOW?
Document Verification Fee http://www.visajourn...h...=128948&hl=

Applicants whose visa eligibility is dependent upon their marital status (i.e. K-1, K-3, CR-1, IR-1, F-1 and F2-B categories) will normally need to have their documents verified through the National Statistics Office (NSO) before the U.S. Embassy in Manila can issue the visa. Those with a delayed birth or death certificate or only local civil registrar copies of such documents may need to have their documents verified.
In order to avoid unnecessary delay in the visa issuance process, the U.S. Embassy in Manila strongly encourages applicants in the categories mentioned above to pay the document verification fee prior to their immigrant visa interview. Payment can be made through any Metrobank location. The cost of the document verification is PhP 650 per applicant. For specific instructions on how to pay the document verification fee, please click here. If you are unable to pay for the document verification before your immigrant visa interview, you may be asked to pay the fee on the day of your interview. Please note that if you pay on the day of your interview, there will be a delay of one to two weeks in the processing of your application.

Nais ko po sanang hingin ang inyong partisipasyon sa paksa na aking binuksan. Ang usaping kahit ano po, basta walang halong Ingles. Ang hirap po magsalita at minsan isipin kung ano sa tagalog ang gusto nating sabihin.

Sana po hindi ito maging korney sa inyo. O kung sa tingin nyo po eh nakakatawa ito, pacensya na po. Pero sa ngayon po, hindi ko sukat akalain mas matagal ako mag-isip ng purong tagalog kesa magsalita ng purong Ingles.

Sinikap kong purong tagalog ang mga binitawan kong salita dito at nahirapan ako. Pakiramdam ko , para akong makata. blush.gif hehe.. blink.gif

Ano ba yan? Pwede ba Ingles nalang, alam mo ba na nag aral ako para makapagsalita ng Ingles na tunay tunog Amerikano, tapos ngayon pagsasalitain mo ako ng Tagalog, ang hirap nu'n ha, at saka ang hirap magtype ng Tagalog.

PhilippinesLAS VEGAS AS PORT OF ENTRY
If you are flying Manila - Las Vegas, your POE will be Las Vegas, eventhough the plane will stop at Vancouver, you will be checked at the Las Vegas Airport. They will let you get out of the plane and let you stay at the waiting area which you can't do anything for one hour or so, while they are inspecting, refueling and cleaning the plane.

Las Vegas as POE is very hassle free and very comfortable, as long as you got everything, you will be out of there in 15 minutes.

She can renew her passport through "passport direct" no need to go to the DFA office to renew her passport and its faster it only take 3 to 5 days in Manila Area, its a little expensive though. All she need is call 737-1000 or apply online. They will send a "2GO" delivery guy to pick up the payment and the old passport and let her review, sign and thumb mark the printed form which she filled out online or via phone, and the delivery guy will also deliver the new passport. By this process you can track your passport application anytime even on midnight.I paid PHP 1200 for mine when i applied for it , i don't know how much it will cost this time. This is the website:

Opps! im sorry i have a correction, there are some changes on the process because of the new machine readable passport, the thumbmark should be done personally on the DFA office but because she applied through passport direct she will be given a priority, she doesn't need to wait in line for hours.

PhilippinesFinancial Arrangements between couple?

Hi,

Im just curious, just wanted to know from the US citizens on how much or to what extend are you willing to support your spouses? I mean what is customary here? Do you expect to manage your finances separately or have a common fund? What about the household expenses, who pays? or is there any customary sharing of expenses? How about sending children to college, do parents here normally provide for their children's education or let them work to send themselves to college?

Thanks.


My husband and i have joint account. We pay our bills and everything out of that account. When i started working he asked me if i want to have my own bank account since i am earning my money,because he said if i want to ,he has no problem with it. But i said no, because to me as a couple we should share everything.

We don't have kids but if ever we will have one, we should definitely send him or her to College.

It depends on you and your spouse on how will you manage your expenses. You just need to talk on how you do it.

What we gonna do? do i need to call the embassy and ask about it or it is my fiancee need to call the USEM in manila to check if its really true..

I tried to call their number they give it here in visa journey but the guy who answered my call before he is not good in aswering querries he dont even tell me yes or no!

Second, is my interview date is oct. 4 as what they told my fiance is it possible we can change it to later date even oct.8 coz my fiance will be coming here but he will leave in US by oct. 4 and arrive oct. 5 fare is so expensive and it is only oct. 4 he can get $ 1,800 and the other dates are so expensive already!

Please give me an idea for other members who knows what i need to do and what number we wil contact and if possible person that we can talk to the embassy that could help my quirries.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsShould I be there for interview or not??
QUOTE (sbragg @ Dec 1 2007, 06:28 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Now that we have approval from the US side NOA2.... I was wondering what others are doing for interviews. Going through the interview process with them??? I just returned from Cebu as I thought the process was going to take until April or May for final approval which was perfect for my vacation schedule. Now we are approved and await the medical and interview date which I am estimating February (someone please correct me if I am assuming wrong). Our NOA2 was approved November 28th after filing July 18th.

My thoughts are to meet her once she is approved in Vancouver as Philippine Airlines flies through there on the way to Las Vegas. They have a technical stop where passengers stay in Vancouver in a holding area as they do not pass into Canadian Customs unless they are staying in Canada. I figrued I can meet her there and bring her the rest of the way in through Vegas Customs.

Does anyone know anything about Las Vegas Customs? Difficult or easy?

Thanks to all VJers and Good luck to those awaiting there approval!


Your right, you may have interview on January or February. Good choice of flight plan, i took that flight too when i came here. Its a hassle free flight except for the food, lol. I haven't had a problem going through Las Vegas Customs, they are very nice and they didn't even opened my luggage. I guess you don't have to meet her at Vancouver, she will be fine, just meet her a Maccarran airport. Congrats on your approval and Good luck for the interview.
