US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionQuestions re: Manila CFO Guidance Counseling
CFO requires a Letter for Permission to Marry between the ages of 18-21 and a Letter of Advisement for 22-25. My now wife was asked for the letter of advisement at the CFO as well as a copy of my divorce decree. The letter does not need to be notarized, just signed by one of the parents listed on her BC and you will require a photo copy of the person's ID that signed the doccument

- She's 23 y.o. does she need a notarized approval letter from her mom? If so just notarized is fine? I read somewhere here about some special lawyer can only do this etc.


They did not ask about her father when she went?

- Her biological father is not part of her life now. Do they need to explain that in case they want a letter from her dad's approval too? Would letters from her grandmother help? or her other guardians?


The other things have already been answered, good luck. Ken & Maria

Glenn, I guess nice depends on the person? I was in the Las Palmas (rt next door to the Exec Plaza) and did not like it. The rooms were old and the street side rooms could hear the traffic all night long even though we were on the 7th floor. The rate was 2600 peso a night. Our phone did not work (got it fixed) the staff was suplada and less than helpful. The Hotel is old and run down but it is clean. For the price you can find newer nicer hotels in Manila.
Warning to all that do not travel Manila frequently, there are taxi driver vultures camped outside the Las Palmas and Exec Plaza that do not use meters.... insist on the meter taxi and do not buy the 50 peso over meter ####### from the driver. It is no more than 150 peso to the airport and these hotels are walking distance to the Embassy and Robinson Mall. Good luck, Payato

If anyone needs a reccomendation on good hotel for the price. Palm Plaza is a very good price if you call or text a man named Tony Avn. He works for the hotel and can give discounts. His number is 09198111296. I have stayed ther a couple times before. He offers a room for P2000. We usually stay at Holiday Inn Galleria, but I have stayed at Palm Plaza twice and it was nice, clean, safe and convenient. It's a big savings for us also. 10 days for P20,000 VS Holiday in at P65,000 for the same length of stay.

Thanks all

Gary only sugestion is to use precisionreservations and read the latest reviews on each hotel. There are too many opinions on what each person considers a good hotel. I personally di not like the City Garden but have friends stay there all the time. Just google precision reservations they typically get you better prices then booking direct with the hotel. Ken

My short list, for now:

I have personally stayed in the Madarin in Makati, great hotel, very expensive and in the middle of the Makatia bisiness district.
Also stayed in the Executive Plaza and for the money is by far one of the best hotels near the Embassy. We have reservations through Precision Reservation including taxes $38 a night in the Executive.
Lots of friends choose the City Garden but say it is run down and only good if you are on a budget and can not afford to stay anywhere else. They also said it is good for 1-2 night but not much more.
Swagman is an old hotel and I have not stayed there in several years but the frequent travelers like it for the budget and transportation services.
I have also stayed in the Diamond and Pan Pacific (not on your list), both in malate walking distance to the Embassy but again very expensive. Both of these hotels are excellent and utilized by the Embassy staff and Embassy visitors.
For the sake of being near the Embassy, stay in the Ermita and Malate areas. Good luck, Ken & Maria

I'm starting a separate thread for Hotels in the Manila Embassy and St. Luke's area. If you have any direct experiences staying at these hotels please post.

US Citizenship General DiscussionHave you EVER been arrested, detained, or cited by the police or any other law enforcement officer?

I had 3 tickets in the past 23 years. I didn't disclose them on the from. When the IO asked me the question about being arrested, cited etc, I told him about the tickets and that they were all less than $500 and no DUI. He said a lot of people were quoting that and that it was correct. I offered to show him documentation that fines were paid but he said he didn't need to see them.

Yes, you should get texts for being inline for interview and again when interview is scheduled. Same thing for oath ceremony.

For those waiting for oath ceremonies - what was the delay from interview approval to notification of oath ceremony scheduling.
 
Trying to be patient waiting for that circle to change to oath....

I interviewed on a Tuesday and my status changed that Friday to inline, then again on Monday to scheduled.

Just received a text and my status has just changed to oath ceremony scheduled. Just have to wait for that letter now :)

Congratulations! and GREAT news on the oath ceremony :)

Thank you everyone for the good wishes. My husband had his interview this morning and passed. He said it was very smooth and simple. They gave him his oath letter right there on the spot and it is for May 15th, next Wednesday at 7:00 AM (now I have to take the day off. smile.png )

I will post his review of the whole thing when I get home.

Thanks again for all your kindess and encouragement throughout this process.

Hoping everyone else will be done quickly as well.

Thanks. Hopefully yours is also on the way. It's so unpredictable. I was in line for a really long time and then they scheduled the interview. A January filer named TOT whose field office is also in LA didn't hear after his/her biometrics on 2/22. He/She was placed in line on 4/18 and then received his/her interview letter on 4/27.

 

 

 

 

Thank you! I downloaded the study guide app two months ago but haven't opened it since then. Now I probably have a month to crank out memorizing stuff.

 

 

Thanks. Congratulations to you! Did the IO ask for any other evidence or document?

All he asked for was my greencard, passport and Drivers license

I went for my interview today, got there 30 minutes before my appointment time and the officer called me in 5 minuted before my time. He was very pleasant and put me at ease. When he asked about citations I told him about some traffic tickets which I'd paid and was about to pull out the record from the court and he said "No need for those, I believe you. He went through my form and had me sign my photographs then had me read aloud "Who can Vote?" and then write "Citizens can vote" then went to the questions they were:

1. Which group of people were brought to the US as slaves?

2. Which is the highest court in the land?

3. How many amendments to the constitution?

4. Give one reason the colonists fought the British? (I said boarding and quartering and he said I was the first person ever to give him that answer :)

5. Who is the vice president?

6. Who makes federal laws?

 

He had already signed my form as approved before I took the test and said "I expect you to pass!" Glad I didn't fail him. then he put my approval in the computer and said I would get an Oath Ceremony letter in the mail. He mentioned there will be a ceremony in my hometown at the end of May and then again in June, so I'm hoping for one of those so I don't have to go to Memphis again.

 

Calypso, I'm very glad to hear your news :)

Does anyone know if the online status updates are placed manually or automatically?

I'm hoping it's manually and mine is moving along but just hasn't been updated. I seem to remember hearing about people taking their oath but their online status still said initial review.

You are not alone. My husband did his biometrics on March 11th, and his status still hasn't changed. He is relaxed about everything, but I am getting worried.


Looking back through other months, I noticed some people waited as long as a month for their status to change so maybe we're ok and it's just taking a little longer for us. I'll try not to worry if you do the same :)

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 February 2013 Filers
I'm starting to get a little concerned, it seems like most people's status changed to inline for interview in 2 -4 days after biometrics. I had mine done 9 days ago and still no change. I wonder what's going on?
chocochibiMaleUnited Kingdom2013-03-20 17:20:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 February 2013 Filers
Wow everyone seems to be getting inline for interview updates quickly. I had my fingerprints done on 3/11 and no change to my status yet. Hopefully soon.

I have been playing the cd that came with the booklet from ASC in my car every time I drive somewhere.

I already ripped the plastic cover off the book from the ASC but haven't opened the first page yet. Posted Image I'll take a look at what's inside this weekend.

Wow Calypso, they updated your timeline quickly. Hopefully we all hear something quickly :)

Went for my fingerprints yesterday. I arrived about an hour early and they took me right in and didn't make me wait until my appointment time.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila Embassy Interview
Steve, This was just discussed a couple of days ago. Do a search... I'm off to an appointment and leave tomorrow or I would do it. It has something to do with the I-194 expiration... If I remember right, it is suggested that you get the SSAN b4 the I-194 expires because if you do not, you will have to wait for AOS approval. I am applying b4 the I-194 expires and rt after we get married, because we need the SSAN for the Military also. Ken

hi all! just need help asap about getting an SSN "before" getting married... if i applied for an SSN, what should i typically bring??? (what kind of docs/proofs)... in their application form, page 2, stated:

if you check "legal alien not allowed to work" you must provide from a US Federal, State, or local govt agency that explains why you need a SSN...

im not really sure with that statement...just confused here... and how long should i wait after applying for one...

thanks all!!!

We took:

1. SSN Application
2. Passport/Visa

That's all...

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling

NOTE: The SSA requires two forms of ID from the beneficiary. So show them your passport and visa pages. By law, those are two different IDs and that is what we did. In order to play the game, you must either know the rules or get the handbook. Yeah Baby Yeah!!!

I already checked into what we have to do. If she puts her PI address down on the license we can get married without a SSN. Just show her passport and visa. If we put my address down then she would need a SSN.


Gary, really? If that is the case, and we can get married before getting her a SSN, we may do that as well. Although I see no reason to delay getting her a SS card ASAP as well. :thumbs:

You will not need a SSN in order to get married. The married license nor the married certificate require a SSN. However, I recommend applying for the SSN anytime after 10 days after the beneficiary arrives in the US.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling



I remember reading here on VJ somewhere that it was recommend that the foreign fiancee apply for SSN before getting married because it is easier to change your name with Social Security after you've initially applied with maiden name vs. applying for it with your married name. Does anybody have any experience with this directly?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila Embassy Interview
Coco, They are only looking for proof of relationship within the last 2 years... anything after that is over kill in my opinion. We only went back to Nov 2005 and I have been there 7 times since Nov 2005, tomorrow will be my 8th trip... I think we have enough. If you are trying to save trees (paper) and/or money, just go back 2 years from the interview date. Ken

Thank you Ken_Maria :thumbs: We are doing the same thing 3 copies for all documents but in your own opinion because there is a lot to make copies...from 2003-2007 correspondence...Do we have to copy all even the 2003 letters/greeting cards and phone bills OR we just have to make copies of the last 12 months OR randomly pick 5-10 each year of correspondence? :unsure: My fiancee will bring all originals including the mails/correspondence she sent me here but I just want to know which of these we will make copies. I am trying not to waste a lot of paper for the photocopies because I know I don't need to copy all of it. I just want to make copies sufficient enough for the Consulate's review and surely they will ask for the originals anyway of which my fiancee is going to bring it. Sheriff told me to make copies a few before the petition and after up to the present. How about the old ones? Do I really have to make copies of all? :help: :help: :help:
