PhilippinesWant a Divorce From A Three Year Absent Foreign Husband

Thank you for the honest response. Just for information, the only communication that we have is international SMS. I do think that just texting is still marriage.

 

You need to find a lawyer who has experience in handling annulments to foreign spouses.

Its either your USC husband files for divorce or you file for an annulment.

Since you're from the Philippines, you can file for an annulment.

PhilippinesPPD/ TST positive

SLEC's xray may yield a different result from the xray that you had from another lab/hospital, so be prepared for that possibility as well.

 

I was afraid of the sputum too, since I had slight pneumonia back in 2009.  I just went and did advance medical at SLEC last September.  Thankfully, all is well.

 

Good luck to everyone. dancin5hr.gif

PhilippinesPPD/ TST positive

Once you have your MNL case number, you can proceed to SLEC and do the medical.  Whatever shows up on SLEC's xray will determine if you need sputum or not.

PhilippinesPPD/ TST positive

Hello, after we got approved petition of K1 and still haven't got the NVC or Packet3 and still waiting. So, we decided that im going to have an early medical check-up, from blood extract, urine all are negative and even the chest xray is clear but when i did the PDD/TST in a pediatrician its shows positive..and im still on going on a sputum... Will it affect our petition? Or delayed us? Pls i need an advice.. Thanks..

 

Yes it will cause delay on your process because when you do your medical at SLEC and they find something blurry or hazy in your xray, they will still subject you to another sputum exam.

PhilippinesIs NBI Clearance needed after interview?

The embassy keeps the originals including the NBI.  She won't be needing it anymore so having the personal copy is okay.

 

Congrats on the approval. dancin5hr.gif

PhilippinesProblem with ex

Hi guys, thanks for the answers. I was married to him and filed divorce here. He can't move on and he keeps giving me hard time with the kids. He was even trying to extort money from me. He really though that people in the US are just picking money everywhere.

 

Were you married to him before the children were born?  If yes, he has rights over the kids because they are his legitimate children.  Unless, you were granted sole custody by the Philippine court after your divorce/annulment.

 

He cannot have you deported though.

 

Where are the kids now?

I find it odd.  A pinay hurt him before, pero pinay pa rin ang pinili niyang asawa.  Ano yang ginagawa niya sayo, ganti in the form of "teasing" making your life miserable?

 

Gosh, baka kailangan na niya magpatingin sa psychologist.

PhilippinesWhat's gonna happen if I'll do my medical exam 2 weeks before the interview?

2 weeks is ample time to do the medical?. provided that you pass it.  If something comes up, SLEC will reschedule the interview for you.

Philippines221g "Wait until you will hear from us"

I'm always checking my status and until now it's under AP

 

Is the status updated date changing?  If yes, that's another good sign because it means that they are actually going thru your case file.

I'm sorry you're in such a frustrating situation but there's really nothing more anyone could tell you.

 

It's a good thing that they kept your passport, now, monitor your case status here:  https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

 

See if there are changes in the "status updated date".

Majority gets approved even without their petitioner's presence.  You should be fine as long as you have all the required forms, documents, proof of relationship and you can answer the consul's questions correctly. good.gif

 

Of course +1 for your fiancee being there.

PhilippinesAdvance Chest X-Ray

 

Just wanna do it for my peace of mind because this has been driving me crazy for days now. I'm not even planning to bring my chest X-Ray from another clinic. 

 

You can certainly do so but there are times when SLEC yields a different result.

 

3rd party lab = clear.  SLEC = hazy.  Result = Sputum.  That happened to my friend.

 

Either way, good luck. good.gif  


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-11-27 20:31:00
PhilippinesAdvance Chest X-Ray

SLEC will only look at your xray but they will not base their findings on it.  They will conduct their own xray and whatever the result of that will determine if you pass the medical or not.  SLEC is the only medical facility in the Philippines recognized by the Department of State, so getting xray from 3rd party labs/clinics is basically useless.

Philippineswill my fiance fail her medical exam? it makes her so worried

Well, hers was back in 2011, maybe it changed.  Or maybe she has a memory gap...  smile.png

 

I'd imagine the gown was for x-ray, right?  You didn't have any pap smear or lady-parts check?

 

Memory gap, maybe. content.gif

 

The xray and physical exam are done separately so you get to use a lab gown for each.

 

There's no pap smear.  The lady doctor checked my breast and looked for scars (or signs of it) and she did look at the private parts.


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-11-30 23:26:00
Philippineswill my fiance fail her medical exam? it makes her so worried

Hemorrhoids are not even screened for at St. Luke's.  My wife said they don't even have you take your clothes off.  It's nothing to worry about at all.

 

As far as I know, everyone is asked to take their clothes off (all of it) during the physical exam with the doctor.  A lab gown is provided though. 

 

Seems SLEC is inconsistent. huh2.gif laughing.gif

have you known someone who has that condition and passed the medical exam? its such a relief.. thanks..

 

Sorry, I don't know anyone.

 

SLEC is more concerned about the xray results because of tuberculosis (TB).

Don't worry, that won't be an issue during the medical.

PhilippinesCENOMAR result

Hi guys! Finally I solved the problem regarding my CENOMAR. I called the NSO office in Manila and the man I spoke with gave me a number of the E-Census. I got the chance to talk the person incharge of the processed request. She read to me the details written in the CEMAR. First the name of the woman which exactly the same as mine (first name, middle initial and the last name). When I asked the full middle name, she cannot answer me because it's only initial that is written in the certificate. So I asked for the husband's name. After she read the name I said I didn't know that person. And so I asked if there's father and mother information, she refused to answer and so finally she said ' ok I will forward this to the processing department.'

As of now,I am waiting for it to be forwarded in US consulate here in Hong Kong. They asked me to pay 48.60 USD through Western Union for the special courier. sad.png


Thank you guys for your reply! *smile.png




 

I hope they get it right this time.  Keep us posted.  good.gif

Maybe you can ask your mom to request another one for you?  She can go directly to NSO.  Give her an authorization letter and a copy of your valid ID/passport.

PhilippinesCENOMAR result

Yes. I double checked everything and its accurate. I have a summary of the information I have given them. What I saw in Facebook is that there's a person who's name is same with mine and she's married! I don't know why the NSO cannot see the difference with our middle name.

 

It's not just the middle name that sets us apart from another person, also our DOB and parents' names that's why those info are also included in the CENOMAR/CEMAR.

 

You need to have that sorted out.  Stupid NSO. protest6wz.gif


apple21FemalePhilippines2013-12-06 06:04:00

Are the details in the CEMAR accurate?  Like your full name, your date of birth and your parents' names?

PhilippinesBirth Certificate and Baptismal Certificate are both under Delayed Registration

Yes, K1 Visa.

 

So am good with my both certificates, no need for my elementary records or any affidavit? I read about USCIS website that if somebody presents Baptismal Certificate as second evidence it should be registered after 2 months or one year from my birth date. 

 

 

Thanks! 

 

You're good to go with your original NSO BC and original Baptismal Certificate with the Church's seal (as supporting doc). 

 

No need for school records or 3rd party affidavits.

You're being petitioned as K1 (fiancee), it shouldn't be an issue.

 

If by the time you become USC and you file for your parent/s (IR5), the delayed registration may cause an issue that might be resolved with the consul asking for a DNA test between you and your parent/s.
