PhilippinesYeah!!!

Mother-in-Law made it through her medical yesterday!

 

My poor wife was fit to be tied all night. Not sure she got any sleep.

 

Having met and spent time with the family I was pretty sure MiL would make it just fine but Shir is a worry wort!

 

Now its on to the interview Nov 7th!!

 

Really odd thing was they wanted to know about every child that was stillborn and every miscarriage.

 

Took extra day for her to dig up, no pun intended, that info from over 40 years back.

 

-phil

 

It's not odd.  It's part of a woman's medical history.

PhilippinesCFO Question / Passport

Why don't you scan the tax papers so she can print it out and bring it to CFO so she can get her passport?

PhilippinesDS 260

so how many days to take the process of my ds260? i unlock ba nila ito para ma edit ko? thank you.

 

I think they will review the DS260 at the same time that they received the IV package (civil documents), which will take 20-30 business days.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-10-21 00:02:00
PhilippinesDS 260

naka receive na ako ng checklist nung oct. 3 pa, pero na submit ko yung ds260 ko nung oct 16, pero di pa na send yung mga missing documents sa NVC, mag se2nd ulit sa akin ng checklist ang nvc para i pa correct yung ds260 ko?

 

Most likely they will send a checklist for the surname correction.  You can call NVC about it to ease your mind though.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-10-20 23:53:00
PhilippinesDS 260

any suggestions, i put my middle name in SURNAMES, i already submitted my ds 260, why should i do? T_T

 

Did you already complete your case at NVC?

 

If not, NVC will probably send you a checklist for it, to have it corrected.  Once submitted, you cannot edit it anymore, unless NVC gives you access.

PhilippinesDS 260

See.very confusing right? Lol. Keep us posted ate if ever you will call nvc. i will call too. smile.png

 

Yeah.  

 

I just followed how I answered the DS230 because on the DS230 it specifically asked for Mother's Family Name At Birth, First Name, Middle Name.

U r right! Mahirap Lang Ito kasi bagong implemented...at syempre Di pa lahat aware....
Kaya ko it Lang ang nakakaalam ng dapat Gawin....
Pero iba pa din Kung sa embassy kana tumawag at mag tanong Pra walang confusion...

 

I'll call NVC na lang.  My case is still with them.

Thanks for the info.

apple21FemalePhilippines2013-09-12 00:59:00
PhilippinesDS 260

I guess yes....cuz I called the us embassy they said whatever in your family's information appears in the passport should be the same info in your ds260.

Better contact nvc in your case..since you submitted it directly to them

 

Anyway, my mom is not immigrating naman since this is a spousal petition (mine).  They can just verify it on my NSO BC and the DS230 that I submitted.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-09-12 00:57:00
PhilippinesDS 260

I just called the us embassy someone might get confused in filling up under Family information:
Mother's Surnames: should be the married name na ( as info appearing in her passport)
Mother's given names: her name and her family name


I am printing the ds 260 and checking it again and again...since this is online...one mistake might cause a lot of delays...l


Also, make sure you have a hard copy of ds 260 and it's confirmation page....





 

On my DS260, I put my mother's name at birth, as it was asked on the DS230. wacko.png

 

Ano ba yan. laughing.gif

PhilippinesSending kids to wifes parents to raise. Advice needed.

Me and my wife may need to send both our kids a 1 yr. old and 5 yr. old to Philippines to live with my wifes parents for at least 2 yrs or more. We can not make it with my only income and the stress of the kids is taking a emotional toll on both of us. My wife is unable to get a job to help because then we need to pay child care for 2 children. We have NO family here to help us. Me and my wife fight and argue and the stress on my wife is enormous to handle 2 kids on her own. Anyone have or been thru this and what happened in your case?

 

 

If the grandparents are willing to take on the responsibility, then go for it.

 

All the best. rose.gif

PhilippinesDid USCIS made a mistake?

Is it really just a mistake on USCIS part?


Yes it could be a simple mistake.

I had the same experience, the year on my priority date indicated on my NOA2 was wrong. My hubby contacted USCIS and informed them about the error and they issued an ammended NOA2 thay shows the correct PD.



apple21FemalePhilippines2013-10-24 01:08:00
PhilippinesDid USCIS made a mistake?

Last october 2011 the father who is a permanent resident filed a petition for her daughter who is 23 yrs.old, on april 2013 the father got his u.s citizenship and the petition was approved this october 2013. Since the daughter is 23 yrs.old and the father is a permanent resident she is under f2b category and will automatically be transfer on f1 since the petitioner became u.s citizen. Last oct.17, 2013 the father received the noa2 and the petition is approved but on the letter it says.

Notice Type : Approval Notice
Section : Unmarried child (under 21) of U.S. Citizen. 201(b) INA

Is that an error because she is already 23 yrs.old when petition.

Sorry for my english.






 

Father should call USCIS and have it corrected.  There's a phone number on the approval notice.

PhilippinesSt Lukes delay leaves only 1 or 2 days until interview - What to do?

Hello All,

 

My fiancee had an abdominal mass found at St Lukes.  Day two of her medical would have been done on Wednesday the 16th.  But they required her to receive an ultrasound and submit the report back to them.  The good news is the mass is uterine fibroids, which are not cancer and can be left alone and just watched with regular doctor exams.  But now the time frame until her embassy appointment is very short.

 

St Luke's should have all the paperwork hand delivered from the doctor's assistant on Monday.  We have that promise from the doctors office that did the ultrasound.  But, my fiancee's embassy appointment is Wednesday at 7:30am.

 

Should we cancel the embassy appointment and reschedule?

 

Everything is being cut so close.  I hate to cancel.  But I don't want to risk causing any long-term problems for her K-1 Visa process.

 

St Luke's said that "she has to comeback to our clinic because we can only release the medical reports to the concerned person."  I am not sure exactly what that means.  I thought they released the medical to the embassy?  Or maybe they mean Barbara has to receive whatever paperwork they normally give the patient.

 

Of course I want to have my fiancee here ASAP...but I don't want to do so at the risk of jeopardizing her visa.  i.e. what if she gets to the embassy and they don't have her medical report?  How bad is that?

 

Anyone have any wisdom in this matter?

 

Thanks!

 

Joe

 

 

They will give her the vaccination chart and xray DVD.

PhilippinesDoes CFO accept copies of CENOMAR and NBI?

CFO for K1/IR/CR is kinda tricky.  If you don't want additional stress, just get a fresh batch of docs.  CENOMAR is easy to acquire, the NBI depends if she gets a name hit or not.

PhilippinesNBI Clearance AND Police Certificate?

We recently received our NOA2 and now we're looking forward to the next step.  

 

My fiance lived in the Philippines for most of her life, but she also spent 2 years working in China.  I know that she will need to get the police certificate from China, but I'm not sure which documents she needs from the Philippines.

 

1) Does she need to get the NBI clearance from the Philippines? Yes.  Get the green one, for travel abroad.

2) Does she need to also get the police certificate from the Philippines? No.

 

Thanks for your help!

You call them and ask why they didn't provide a translator for your fiancee. She didn't have a fighting chance, IMO.

PhilippinesEmbassy requesting old passport

 

Yes, she had the Japan police clearance. That was why I was pretty surprised that they asked to see the old passport. I'm just so glad that she didn't throw it away or anything. Maybe we should add old passports to the not required but a very good idea to keep and bring to the interview documents list. 

 

A friend of mine was also asked to present her old passport during her interview because she worked in Saudi Arabia for 2 years.  She couldn't get a PC from there because Saudi does not issue PC for non-residents.  Maybe they're looking for deportation stamps.

 

Or it could just be a random thing. content.gif
