PhilippinesAnyone can help me pls!!!

Apple 21 do you think it will be good if i will apply for them passport before i leave philippines? even theire BC is written there that i was married to theire biological father? Before i asked to the department of forein affair about this and they said ,,they can issue the passport for them but they cannot do anything about theire BC, just they will follow all what's the written to theire BC!! So i was worried it might be complicated when we start to apply for them a visa !!! thank you for your early advice, im so much appreciate it! smile.png

 

That won't be an issue when you apply for their passport.

DFA will follow whatever is the kid's name on the BC. They don't have the authority to change or ammend the BC coz that's the job of NSO.

It will be easier if the mother accompanies the child during the application especially for illegitimate children. If you're already in the US and its time to process their civil docs, you will have to execute a special power of attorney for whoever will assist your kid in applying for a passport. To avoid that additional hassle, apply for them now. :)

My advice is not connected to your "issue" but I would recommend that you apply your kids' passport while you're still here in the Philippines. smile.png

PhilippinesCitizenship

My wife has been here almost 1 1/2 years and we are planning on doing it right away. One reason for is easier travel for us all over.

Question; isn't it required for my wife to get citizenship in order to get her mother over?

 

For petitioning parents, yes, she needs to be a US citizen.

PhilippinesHelp me pls!!

Congrats on getting your kids' passports! dancin5hr.gif

 

If the children will be traveling to the US with another person (not the parent/s) OR will be traveling alone (on their own), you'll need to get the DSWD travel clearance for them.  (In case you or your husband cannot return to the Philippines to pick them up.)

You also need to bring original NSO birth certificates of your children coz it is needed during the NVC stage.  For the i130 filing at USCIS, photocopies of the NSO BC is acceptable.

PhilippinesWhat time should I line up for interview?

Thanks apple21, I've heard of people lining up like two hours before their sched so that made me wonder if I need to go earlier smile.png

 

People arrive early because they don't want to be late especially those who come from far away provinces.  Traffic is horrible in Manila during rush hour in the mornings so its better to travel at the earliest possible time.

 

I live just approximately 30 minutes away from the embassy but I made sure to leave early for the BIG day.  biggrin.png

 

Good luck.

Philippineshelp kabayan about CSPA

http://www.visajourn...s/#entry6394065 <--- my case please read and advise me if they haven't mention anything of importance

my question is what do i need to do next if i think im qualified for the CSPA?

 

and a question about my mothers paper work can she send the DS-230 VIA EMAIL OR VIA MAIL COURIER?

DO WE NEED TO PUT ALL OUR CIVIL DOCUMENTS WITH IT? DO THE DOCUMENTS NEEDS TO BE ORIGINAL OR XEROX/PHOTOCOPY?

 

After paying the Immigrant Visa fee of $230 your MOM can submit her DS-230 and original civil documents directly to NVC.  Don't forget to attach the corresponding cover sheet.  She can use FedEx, DHL, LBC or 2GO couriers.

 

In order to become a derivative, your mom has to inform NVC that you exist.  When she sends her DS-230 she can mail-in a separate letter stating that you (as her child) should be added in her F2B petition.  Attach a photocopy of your NSO birth certificate.

 

Wait for further instructions from NVC because they will need to review your mom's case to determine if you are qualified to be a derivative and generate a separate Immigrant Visa Fee Invoice for you.

 

While waiting, go apply for a passport.

PhilippinesNo NBI clearance for IV packet

My mom is in the process of gathering civil docs for the IV Packet. And the IV fee shows as "paid" already. My sis went to nbi today to secure the nbi clearance, Unfortunately, nbi scheduled her to comeback until feb 6... or 3 weeos from to date,, Can she send all the docs to nvc without the nbi clearance...then my sis will just take it with her on her interview? tia

 

No.  NVC will require the NBI clearance.  Might as well wait for it before sending the IV package.

 

If you send the IV package without the NBI, she'll probably get a checklist for it for submission to NVC.  Same thing, it will cause a delay.

PhilippinesMedical Exam Fee

Medical Fee  ...   is this payment covering all the required 15 vacinations that my fiancee will require. Processing and interview is at the Manila, Phillippines US Embassy.  Thank You ..

 

Yes but nobody gets all 15 shots.  Normally, vaccines given at most is 5 (based on my family's experience).

 

If she doesn't have her vaccination records, that's fine.  SLEC will decide what vaccines to give her.

PhilippinesNew Baby - US or PHL?

IMO, if time is of the essence, just have the child in the US.

 

It could take 1 to 6 months before you can get the child's NSO birth certificate, which is a requirement for CRBA.

PhilippinesCENOMAR and NBI clearance documents

@dimples30

 

The green NBI clearance is sufficient if you lived and worked in the Philippines your whole life.  The NBI clearance is only valid within 1 year from date of issuance.

 

If you lived and/or worked abroad (outside the Philippines) for 12 months or more, you need to get a Police Clearance/Certificate from that foreign country.
