Flying with PAL?  They don't do early check-in anymore?

 

My family was able to do early check-in (around 12:00noon) for their PAL (Terminal 2) flight to LAX at 10pm last Dec 2011.

PhilippinesNso copy or DFA "red ribbon" and passport

Greetings

ail

I just received my NSO copy of the marriage certificate in the mail.Do me or my spouse need the red ribbon copy to proceed? No need to have it red ribboned.  You can use that for the i-130 filing.

 

Also,can I go ahead with the I-130 process while my wife is waiting for her passport to be processed? Yes you can proceed now with the i-130 filing.  The passport is not needed until later in the NVC stage.

 

 

Thanks for your time and for taking a gander

Congratulations!!! :dance:

PhilippinesHow much evidence is needed?

Just bring any proof that you have just in case they ask for it, there to the Embassy or keep it for the future when you actually apply for your spousal visa. As far as your fiancee attending, I don't think they will allow her to enter the Embassy without an appointment since she isn't a USC. You on the other hand as a USC are allowed to enter even without an appointment. After your married and she has her interview at the USEM, that may be the time to consider accompanying her to the USEM, even though that isn't required it wouldn't hurt either.


I believe a walk in isnt possible anymore.


My husband (then fiance) scheduled an appointment online 2 months ahead.

Do that, OP. the US Embassy website has the complete info for what an American needs to get a marriage license. As for getting married, have your girl ask the local civil registrar. If you plan to marry in a Church, they have their own requirements, too.

PhilippinesMy Wife Has Orders for Basic Training

My mom,and dad, and our son, will all be making the trip to Texas to see her graduate, I know that. And when she goes to her technical school at Ft. Lee, Virginia, my son and I will go there every other weekend to see her. That will be another 8 weeks, total of 16 weeks. It will be no big thing at least while she is gone about taking care of our son since I am the primary caretaker of him as it is now during the day.

When she gets all that done she will go to school again and work on another degree to become an RN. She already has a master of education degree, but wants to become a nurse now. Then she will try to go in the medical group at the airbase after that. She has been in this country for 4 years almost now...I think she is doing pretty good in forging her own path in that amount of time here.


Tres cool :)

Is she planning to do online courses?

PhilippinesMarrying someone in the Philippines

My fiance then now husband is a dual citizen too. He was born in California with Filipino parents thus making him American and Filipino.

This is what you need to do.

1.Fly to the Philippines.
2. Set an appointment with the USEM. You need to get the "Affidavit in Lieu of the Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry". This one costs 50 bucks. You will get the certificate on the same day.
3. Be ready with your Original birth certificate and 1x1 ID

Fiancee should complete her requirements as well. This includes, but is not limited too (depends on the mood of the civil registrar): Cenomar, birth certificate, cedula,
duly accomplished marriage license application form, 1x1 id picture

You file your application for marriage license on the city where your fiancee lives. After 10 days you can get the marriage license and can get married ANYWHERE in the Philippines. The key here is that the license application should be filed where one of the contracting parties resides.

There is nothing to lose (not even money, except for the 50 bucks) by declaring you are a dual citizen. 1, by that your Marriage Certificate will indicate that your wife is married to an American making your petition process easier than you declaring your Filipino.

They did not for more than the usual filing fee at the City Hall (Quezon City) where we applied.

All the best! For more questions, google is your best friend.


:yes:

And to add, my husband just photocopied his passport identification pages. He used that instead of birth certificate.

If you were married before, OP, bring your divorce certifiicate or your deceased wife's death certificate. Also, find on that link I previously gave to you a list of cities where the affidavit isn't accepted. If your fiancee lives in thise cities, tell her to talk to her city's registrar and find out what she can do. Don't talk to fixers. There have been really effective measures set in city and town halls now that have minimized corruption practices.
ivyanddanFemaleJapan2013-02-11 21:44:00
PhilippinesMarrying someone in the Philippines

You can get married in the Philippines using your Philippine citizenship "para hindi na masyadong mahirap". You guys just needs to get CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage). and I think both your birth certificates.

then you can have your fiancee inquire at any city hall where you want to get married. I would suggest na you do not tell them that you have a dual citizenship, (baka kasi makakita sila ng dollar sign). Go about the process like normal people wanting to get married.

Have her look for a few city halls, so you have your options.

HTH


First of all, you don't get married in a city/municipal hall of your liking. You marry where your fiancee is living.

Second, OP, how did you get your dual citizenship? Were you born in the US to Filipino immigrants or were you born in the Philippines then immigrated to the US? Better sort out your problem by googling. This pops out first when you finally try to research http://manila.usemba...v/marriage.html :)

PhilippinesPolice Clearance from other countries you worked in???
FINALLY!!!!

The responses I've been asking for... For a while there, I thought I stumbled into a Contest for Best Cryptic Response. :whistle:

Thank you very much. B-)


If she LIVED in another country more than 6 months, then yes, she has to have the police clearance! It is simple and straight-forward. If she was a tourist there more than 6 months, she lived there. if she worked there more than 6 months, then she lived there. If she got lost when visiting there and couldn't find her way home again more than 6 months then she lived there. If she visited and then got sick there and couldn't leave for more than 6 months then she lived there. If she got in a coma and was hospitalized and did not wake up again until after 6 months, then she lived there. What cant you understand about "lived" there? If she DIED there, then you wouldnt be getting married. So she didn't die there. She lived there. She ate there, she drank there, she walked there, she breathed there, she LEFT there after 6 months. She LIVED there! Move on....


yup its a forum and LIVING some where is a pretty simple concept, and the embassy is pretty clear.... if you LIVED there for 6 months or more, whether you arrived on a work visa or tourist visa doesn't matter... did you eat, sleep, and reside there?

If you have issue with my response... other posters don't understand your not comprehending what lives means also:

the term "live" is so general for me. i wouldn't have bothered asking if it was "pretty straight forward simple to figure out"

is this a forum or not??

my question just warrants a simple yes or no. does being a tourist qualify as "living in a different country"? if that's too much of a bother, i'd rather not get cryptic responses. :innocent:

PhilippinesCFO experience

Glad it worked out for you! It could have been worse apparently from some of the stories on here. Like you, we were fully prepared because of good folks at VJ, and thankfully, no complications. They DID ask for my (USC) passport bio page and my mother's maiden name. Nothing more off the wall though. CFO serves a just purpose, but it seriously is vague in preparing attendees, and it is a complete waste of a good day. There is no good reason why people have to show up at 3AM to get a slot, and then stay there for close to 12 straight hours. No efficiency whatsoever. In our case, it was a little over 11. Ridiculous! It was such a beautiful day too, but all I could think of was getting it over with. :wacko:


My thoughts exactly.

Sadly, the words mediocre, half-assed and one big power trip comes to mind when I think of requirements my government sometimes requires. Especially this CFO thing. Because really... If you wanted to prevent trafficking and abuse, all you need is a seminar. :bonk:
ivyanddanFemaleJapan2013-01-30 21:53:00
PhilippinesCFO experience

Hahaha one of the women I met there had returned THRICE already! The first time, she didn't get into the 30 slots. The second time, she didn't have her NSO and was stopped at the "initial screening" (i.e. the guard downstairs). The third time, the "final interview", she was asked for the pictures!! She was so happy and relieved when she finally got her passport issued this time!

I hope the CFO revamps its whole process soon. 1. Set up an appointment system online/by phone, with exceptions for emergency cases. 2. Make the requirements clear cut and definite. I don't think anyone will have any problem bringing requirements as long as they are defined.

Imagine if I HAD a photo in my wallet of me and my fiance, but still had to go to the mall because it wasn't the 3 copies she required! I would probably have done something terrible like threaten to blow up the entire CFO office! (Who would blame me, I was hungry!!!)

The most important requirement, actually, is to bring a good attitude. This applies to all the steps of the visa process, from I-29F to citizenship. Yeah it's cheesy, but it helps to keep a sense of humor and optimism about the whole thing.

For example, if you're reading this and you're still waiing for your NOA2 and want to kill a puppy, don't do it. Just wait, you'll get approved soon. :)


Nah. The whole visa process is tolerable... At least we all know what to expect.

Philippine government agencies on the other hand... You have to always expect the worst, sigh and just let it be. Hahaha
ivyanddanFemaleJapan2013-01-29 21:35:00
PhilippinesCFO experience
I don't understand this CFO thing.

It's only required when you're based in the Philippines. If they realy wanted human trafficking or abuse to be averted, they should have these seminars required in Philippine embassies/consulates too.

And your story sounds a lot like government worker bullying to me. Geez. If photos are actually needed, they should have put it up on their website.

I just so wish our government agencies would be more consistent and more efficient with their services!

But, I'm happy your day turned out well regardless :) Just a flight away now! :dance:

PhilippinesTragic Story

My fiancee had 8000 SR not counting this months work. So, the lab manager loaned her 2000 which she will pay back when she gets her final months pay. She thought she could pay using the money they owe her for this month considering they have to settle up with her before she leaves, but they did not allow this to happen.

So, tomorrow, she is going to pay her 10,000 fine and hope the clearance process begins.


It's bordering entrapment. Sigh. I wish everything will go smoothly with the clearance after she pays.

PhilippinesThe Global Filipina & Her Chronicles of International Love

Okay, I could be a total numpty here but in that entry she says that Darcy writes Elizabeth a love letter. I've seen the original series and the el-crapo movie multiple times and I don't recall "a love letter" (and the book recently, though my Kindle died and I haven't finished it on my new Kindle yet). I recall a letter where he explains what the deal was with Wickam, and why he told Bingly that Jane didn't care about him, but not a letter declaring how he felt for Elizabeth. Am i totally wrong here? Does the book deal with an actual love letter? An actual letter declaring feelings? I only recall him SAYING those feeling "In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.?


I'm an Austen reader. :)

He did write her a letter after that quite stirring (yet very rude) marriage proposal. He wrote her all his reasons for acting the way he did about his best friend's courtship with Elizabeth's sister, his intolerance of Mr Wickham and the length he went to save Elizabeth's other sister from irreparable ruin.

He didn't propose to her again in this letter, but when you, as a reader, read it yourself... You will realize how he truly wanted Elizabeth to be happy, by looking after the happiness of her family, too. You won't be as shocked as Elizabeth was.

Hi everyone.

we have a new problem & I do hope someone can truely be of some help.

After going over there & spending some great time with my SO, it is revealed that her EX was apparently married to another woman B4 he married her. Amyway, after she found out, she picked up the kids while he was away for work and wnet into hiding from him (from what I can gather, he was very abusive and obsessive)

What we are needing to find out is, HOW CAN SHE OBTAIN HER SINGLES STATUS? I've heard that it can cost upto as much as $4,000 USD OMG!!! that's way tooo expesive.

Any suggestion or Ideas?

Thanks


1.) Tell her to check if their marriage was recorded in the NSO. She can check by ordering a copy of their Marriage Certificate and a CENOMAR. She can call 737-1111. http://nso.citizense.../info/procedure

2.) If their marriage is recorded at NSO, she will receive a copy of their Marriage Certificate and instead of receiving a CENOMAR, she will receive a certificate called ADVISORY ON MARRIAGES, wherein all of her current or previous marriages will be reflected.

3.) If she gets both documents (Marriage Certificate and an Advisory on Marriages), then she should file for an ANNULMENT of their marriage. It's crazy expensive and may take a long time but if she doesn't file, then she's not free to marry anyone. Consult a lawyer right away.

PhilippinesChristian wedding in the Philippines???

Why would they know that? Did you read my post? Do you know anything about Catholicism?

Even if he refuses to become Catholic, there are plenty of churches in the Philippines that have no such requirements.

Why would they need a licence? A licence for what?

Why would they want a judge to give them a civil wedding? They are already married. That was the whole point. They want a church wedding. Did you read the initial post?


Even if there are many Catholic churches in the Philippines, they still have the same requirements (re: Baptismal & Confirmation certificates). Now, if they can comply with this, no problem.

If they are non-practicing Catholics (NO baptismal and/or NO confirmation) then, no Catholic church would marry them.

Now, if you're referring to churches of ANOTHER RELIGIOUS GROUP (aside from Roman Catholic), then that's another story. You will have to be at least a member of a religious group before they can perform any ceremony for you, subject to their own rules too.

The LICENSE part I posted is MY ERROR. My bad. Kindly disregard. :bonk:

They want an original marriage, not a renewal of vows. They've never been married in the Church, nor had a ceremony.

The had a civil marriage. A judge at a municipal office cannot give them a church wedding. Local Civil registry has no requirements for this, since it's none of their business.


OP knows that the Church will not grant them a proper Church/Catholic wedding because they have not met the requirements (re: Confirmation).

I never said that a Judge will give them a Church wedding. I said a judge can OFFICIATE the wedding (a civil one). If they will need to get a license, they will have to verify with the Local Civil Registry.

PhilippinesChristian wedding in the Philippines???
If you're talking about Roman Catholic wedding, the Church is very strict when it comes to the wedding requirements like Baptismal and Confirmation certificates. Even if you're just asking for renewal of vows (since you're already legally married in the US), they will still require you to submit those certificates. They won't perform the ceremony if you haven't complied with the requirements.

Try to find a judge at the Local Municipal Office where you reside in the Philippines. Maybe they can officiate the renewal of vows without so much hassle. Better to inquire at the Local Civil Registry of the Municipal Office too for the requirements.

Sa NBI clearance ba for Travel abroad or US Visa? ANong NBI ang finile nyo? Help me. Get the Green NBI clearance, that's the one for travel abroad. For purpose, you can put "For US Visa Application".

Ang schedule ng interview ko Jan 17, 2013, is it advisable na mag pa medical or sa January ko na gawin or kelan ba ang dapat? As soon as you have your interview appointment letter, you can proceed to St. Luke's for the medical. http://www.slec.ph/u...pplicants.shtml

Gaano katagal marereceive ang ITR kung kababayad lang last week (affidavit of support) - reason kya ako nag reschedule kasi worried ako na baka di ko mareceive yung affidavit of support on time. I'm kinda confused with this part. Did your fiancee send his ITR and W2 to you via snail mail? During the interview, the consul will ask for the petitioner's latest ITR and W2.

Kailangan ba ang copies ng passport ng petitioner? Aside from ITR ano pa ang kailangan nya isend? Its better to have a copy. Just ask your fiancee to scan his passport, email it to you, so you can just print it out.


Thanks in advance.
