You must marry within 90 days of arrival in the US. How long it takes to get a marriage license will depend on the state you live in.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionDS-156 question- spouse?
Even if you are filing for K-1 visa you need to put something in this box. Is beneficiary divorced, widowed, seperated? Instructions seem to want to know what beneficiary status currently is. If it does not apply (you are single never married) put N/A in box.

Are you saying that the customs officer in Dubai opened his 'do not open' envelope?

I'm not sure what to do if that happened. As Inky stated, only CBP, USEM and USCIS are allowed to open the envelope. I hope everything work out for you and your husband.

I think I will use your package as a template. But unfortunately I will not need to use it for at least four months. Congratulations John. Do you think the congressman you contacted greased the wheels for you? Who cares what they did. You are a very happy and excited man now!! Good luck in the rest of your journey.


Actually I don't think my congressmen did anything for me. I had called USCIS 1 week prior to my 5 months and requested a service request. It was granted and my case was being adjudicated and approved when I sent the letters to my congressmen. I did not know that the service request had been approved until after I got my NOA-2. That is not to say that if I had not put in the service request that they wouldn't have helped. You have to do everything that you can to move things along.

Good luck on your journey.

It seem that all of the links that are clicked on (Schedule an Appointment, Returning Resident Application, and K-Visa Appointment Scheduling) have that disclaimer at the bottom. It appears that they used the same form for entering your data and just changed the link name and where it eventually sends you on each one. I think you will be ok. If you are worried you can always call the call center to verify your appointment. The call center phone number is 214-571-1600 for U.S. callers. I hope this helps.

Right from the USEM website.

Applicants for K visas on the other hand, pay a U.S. $350 nonimmigrant visa application fee. The application fee for nonimmigrant visas must be paid prior to scheduling a visa interview appointment. There are three ways to pay the K visa application fee:

a) Cash payment at any Bank of the Philippine Island (BPI) branch;

b) Online payment bill option provided by BPI to their clients

c) Online payment through Bancnet.





Hope this helps.

APPROVED!!! My fiancee and I have been texting back and forth, and I wanted to let everyone know that she was just approved for her visa about an hour ago. I'm very happy right now and you all will be fine. Like I said up top regarding Singapore, she just took with here the email and the notice from Singapore's website. Time to celebrate!...but first I should get to bed.


Thanks for letting us know about your fiancée's experience at her interview regarding the Singapore CNCC. I'm glad I don't have that to worry about anymore.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSingapore Police Certificate of Conduct

Here's additional information regarding a COC certificate of clearance. SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE :

READ BELOW:

Applicant must show documentary proof from the relevant consulate/immigration authority/government authority which clearly indicates that the production of the COC is required. All applicants must pay attention to the following application procedure and documentation requirements:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

1. Applicants residing in Singapore are to appear in person at the COC Office located at Blk D Police Cantonment Complex, #02-07/08, 391 New Bridge Road , Singapore 088762. The office is open from 8.30am to 12.30pm , Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).
2. Applicants residing overseas should submit their applications (original) addressed to: Head Criminal Records, CID ( COC ), Blk D Police Cantonment Complex, #02-07/08, 391 New Bridge Road , Singapore 088762.
3. Processing time for each application is about 10 working days.
4. Processing fee is S$45.00 per application. Payment can be made by cash, NETS , cash card, or credit cards (VISA/MASTERCARD) for walk-in application. Application sent by post (from overseas) must be accompanied by a bank draft made payable to ‘Head Criminal Records CID ’ through a Singapore-based bank. In addition to the processing fee, a postage fee of S$5.00 must be included in the payment (total S$50.00) if the COC is to be mailed. Payment is non- refundable once the application is accepted.
5. All applicants must complete the Certificate of Clearance application form in full and submit it with the necessary supporting documents:
1. A set of applicant’s fingerprint impressions (ten prints). Applicants applying in person will be fingerprinted at COC office at the time of application. For application by post from overseas, the applicant must submit a set of his/her fingerprint impressions taken by a qualified Fingerprint Officer at a Police Station or an authorized office of the country he/she is now residing.

Who is the letter from? I would suspect that if it is official if should be enough. From what I understand the CO's have been informed to not require the CNCC from Singapore for non-Singapore citizens. I make this statement only on information that I have heard. Since my fiancée has yet to go to her interview, I don't have first hand knowledge yet. Good luck on your journey.

Last week, I finally received an email from the Embassy, stating that my fiance will be exempt from this requirement. She will print this out and bring it with her to the interview, and I am sure that everyone else will be okay as well. I feel a whole lot better now.


That is great news. If I may ask, who did you email at the Embassy to get exemption email?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSingapore Police Certificate of Conduct
Hey Tom. No new information as of yet. As it stands right now, my fiancée will be going to visit the Singapore Embassy when she goes for her medical. I will have her bring the correspondence with her that I have and see what happens. Right now we are not expecting that to happen until sometime in March based on current NOA2 receipt trends. I can only hope that if she gets a Statutory Declaration from the Embassy, it will suffice and if she can not that the documentation paper trail that I will give her will be enough. I just wish I could be there with her to do the explaining if necessary.

On a side note, in early December, I sent an email to the US Department of State and informed them of the changes that the Republic of Singapore made in their policy and who they will issue a CNCC to. As of this writing they have not updated the reciprocity table to reflect this change.

I can only hope that those of us that are affected by this will be able to get through the interview unscathed. Good luck to all.

John
John+LourdelieMalePhilippines2011-01-06 21:16:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSingapore Police Certificate of Conduct
I contacted the US Embassy in Manila and they just referred me to the reciprocity table. I then spoke to Ms Geraldyn Chen, Second Secretary (Consular) Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Washington DC and she said that we could try several things since the Singapore government will not issue any official letter that says they no longer are issuing the CNCC to foreigners.

1. Print out the notice on the Singapore Police website and bring that to the interview. It indicates that they no longer offer police certificates for non-Singapore citizens.

2. Get a Statutory Declaration from a Commissioner of Oaths in Singapore and take that to the interview. The Singapore Police website states that a nominal fee may be charged (approximately S$20) for this by the Commissioner of Oaths.

3. Go to the Singapore Embassy in Manila and request a Statutory Declaration there. They may also charge a fee for this document.


Well, I have a copy of the notice from the Singapore website ready. I contacted a Commissioner of Oaths in Singapore and requested what they would charge for the Statutory Declaration. They told me US$400 and I would have to go to the Singapore Embassy in Manila and get it certified. What a bunch of BS.

I am going to have my fiancée go to the Singapore Embassy when she goes to Manila for her medical and see what they want for the Statuary Declaration. If the fee is of an appropriate amount, I will tell her to get one. Otherwise I am prepared to have her present all of the correspondence that I have had with the US Embassy in Manila, the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore in Washington DC, the Commissioner of Oaths in Singapore and the notice from the Singapore Police website and hope that this will be enough for the CO at the interview. I am not sure what else we can do.

John
John+LourdelieMalePhilippines2010-12-10 18:27:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSingapore Police Certificate of Conduct
I will definitely print it out and send to my fiancée with all the other docs that are required for the interview. I just wonder if that will be enough for the CO as to why she doesn't have the information that they require, i.e.: police cert from places lived over 6 months after age 16.

I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Thanks,
John

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSingapore Police Certificate of Conduct
Well, after calling and/or going to all the major banks where I live, I have concluded that there is no way that I will be able to get the CNCC from Singapore. Only 2 banks would issue a foreign draft but neither would do it on the spot. Both required you to order it and then they mail it to you with delivery in 5 business days. Since today is October 13th in Singapore, 5 days would put me at October 18th when I received the draft and Singapore will no longer issue a CNCC to non-citizens from that date forward. I just can't get the application to them in time. I will just have to write them and request a letter stating that the CNCC is no longer issued to non-citizens and hope that will be enough for the interviewing CO.

I know that this will affect others as will as me and my fiancée so the best of luck to all of us. I am very frustrated by Singapore's change in policy.

John
John+LourdelieMalePhilippines2010-10-12 16:19:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSingapore Police Certificate of Conduct
What happens for other countries that do not issue police certificates to those that were in there country for longer than 6 months since age 16? Is the beneficiary required to get a police certificate from that country anyway?

The reason I ask is that my fiancée, as of today, needs a CNCC from Singapore for an interview that is probably 5 months in the future. After October 18th she will not be able to get the CNCC and there is not enough time to get one before that date.

Will the DOS change there reciprocity table to reflect that Singapore no longer issues these? If they don't change the table, will the CNCC still be required since it is listed, even though it can no longer be obtained?

I am hopeful that the interview CO will realize that Singapore has changed the availability of this document and my fiancée will no longer be required to obtain the CNCC.

Not every embassy required the DS-157. NBI is the Philippine equivalent of our FBI, CENOMAR is a certificate of no marriage document.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion!!**UPDATE**!!
Ok, some of you may know that my fiancée had her interview on April 13 and was told that she was approved. Well, we waited and waited and never got notice from 2GO that her visa was being delivered. Based on other timelines we were expecting that she would have her visa by April 18th (she was staying in Manila) and be able to fly here on the 19th. How wrong we were. On April 18th I called the embassy to see if here visa had been printed. I was told that while all of her documentation was in order and her interview went well and she had in fact passed her interview, the consular officer had not yet signed off on her visa printing and was holding her visa for a reason that they were not allowed to tell me over the phone. They told me to just wait and her visa would be printed soon. Ok, so I am pissed off but I will wait a little longer. I call back on the 20th and check again. Still nothing and no movement and there is no telling when my fiancée's visa will be approved for printing. I think the CO is asleep at the wheel. Since it is the Holy Week and the embassy is closed on Thursday and Friday I decide that the only way for me to proceed is to go the the Philippines and confront them my self. I booked a flight out of Phoenix on Friday night and arrived in Manila on Sunday morning. Monday, April 25th, we went to the Embassy and again inquired about her visa. It still has not been printed and we were again told that everything was in order and there was no reason for the hold up. I asked if there was anything I could do, talk to her superior, talk to the CO, etc. She told me that I could write a letter to the CO requesting an expedite. I am thinking, ask for an expedite! It has already been 2 weeks since her interview approval. What needs to be expedited? So I write my letter basically begging the CO to send her visa for printing since I am leaving the Philippines on April 30 and want my fiancée to be on the flight with me. We leave hopeful and upset. Nothing on Tuesday on the 2GO website so Wednesday we go back to the Embassy to inquire again. They are closed. The IV unit is having training that day so there is no one there. Still nothing on the 2GO website on Wednesday. We go back to the Embassy on Thursday and viola, they tell us that her visa is out for delivery. Now if you were told that your visa was out for delivery you would think that means that the courier has it. Well, not if that is what the Embassy tells you. It means that the Embassy is getting everything together to eventually give to the courier. So we wait some more. Remember that my flight leaves on Saturday and it is Thursday. The courier does not have her visa yet. She does not have her CFO sticker yet. I do not have a plane ticket for her yet. Friday morning at about 8:30 I check the 2GO website and it says that they have her visa in the manifest. We call them and ask about delivery time. They tell us that the requested delivery location is not allowed (Robinson Mall, even though it is selectable when you setup your interview) and we have to have delivery to another location in Manila. Also it won't be delivered until Saturday. All hope is lost at this point. But then my fiancée asks if we can come down to the main office and collect her visa. They tell us that we can pick it up after 5pm. Ok, now we are onto something, but there is still the issue with the CFO stamp. The CFO office will be closed by the time we get the visa. I remember that Tahoma mentioned that there was a CFO office at NAIA so we called there and the gentleman said that he was not sure if we could get the stamp at NAIA until he looked at her documents. After collecting the visa and making sure that all the information on it was correct, we went to NAIA and attempted to find the CFO office. Everyone that we talked to pointed us in a different direction. Upstairs, downstairs, over here and there. After about an hour we finally got to the right person (CFO is inside the secure area so he had to come out to us). He looked at her docs and had her fill out the form. All of a sudden we realize that we don't have a passport photo for the CFO registration form. He tells us that it is not necessary. He takes her passport and goes away then returns with the sticker and stamp inside. Wonderful. Almost there now. We just need a ticket on the same flight was me. I ask the information desk where I can purchase a ticket for my airline and he send me over there. Nope not over there. So we ask someone else and they send us over here. Still not the right place. Another security person tells us to go to the 4th floor and it is there. So to the 4th flooor we go even though that seems a little odd to me. Well it is not there either. That is the airline flight operations. The man there is nice and tells us that you can not buy a ticket at the airport. I am shocked. You can not buy a plane ticket at the airport? How ridiculous!!! He give us the number to call for reservations. When we get back to the hotel. I call and the reservation desk is closed from 6:30pm till 9:00pm. I wait and call back at 9:15 and finally after all that has happened get a reservation on my flights with a seat next to me for my fiancée. Just need to print the confirmation at the hotel and it is done. She tells me to be sure that we are at the the airport 3 hours before the flight departure time. I am thinking, 3 hours. That is pretty early, but it is needed. Any less and we might have missed the flight.

We arrived POE Honolulu on 30 April 2011. It took about 45 minutes to clear immigration and customs. There were no problems at all. Very smooth. Arrived in Phoenix, Arizona at just after midnight on May 1, 2011.

Thanks to all that helped during this portion of our process. Now onto Marriage, AOS, AP, and EAD. The journey continues. Just hope it gets a little smoother from here.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionmedical exam processing?

I am trying to determine if we qualify to use consular services to file for a IR-1. We live in Canada in the Vancouver BC area. My wife is a US born citizen and has lived with me (Canadian) for almost 10 years here. I want to confirm that we can apply for my US residency (IR-1) via consular services in Montreal or do we have to apply via Chicago?. It's my understanding that Vancouver does not process immigrant visas, but can we drop of the I-130 & G325As at the consulate in Vancouver between 2-4pm on Thursdays? They make reference to this on the US Consulate - Vancouver website. Do they just forward it to Montreal? Can the IR-1 fees be paid in cash and submitted with the I-130?


You might more easily find an answer for this by posting in the Canadian specific forum and not in a thread that is asking about medical processing.

Could a moderator please move this to the appropriate area.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionmedical exam processing?

In terms of documentation requirements, the St. Lukes Medical Center Extension Clinic website, at http://www.slec.ph/u...l#required-docs, is pretty accurate. However, based on Ann's recent experience you may be asked to complete a DS-156 while there. Why? Don't know, because you also have to bring a completed DS-156 to the Embassy interview as well ... and you do not get a copy of the form that you fill out at St. Luke's. My only guess is that it is used as a cover sheet that accompanies the medical report and your passport when they are forwarded to the Embassy.

They also will ask about any scars that you may have. If they are suspicious about the responses or pattern of scarring, they may ask you to undergo a pscyhological assessment (e.g., for suicidal behavior, self-mutilation behavior, etc.). Also, if you have had a marriage annulled, they WILL ask for your annullment decree, which is what happened to Ann. Luckily, I had a copy in PDF format, sent it to her, and was able to submit it same day to St. Luke's. The reason: the most common basis for annullment in the Philippines is psychological incapacity (whether it exists or not) ... if the paperwork had indicated that Ann was the "psychologically incapacitated" partner I am sure she would have had to go through the aforementioned psychological assessment.

Take care and have a great evening!

Joe


Hmmm..... Interesting. I will have my fiancée make an extra copy of the DS-156 for medical just in case.

According to this website,

St. Luke's

it is not needed but best to be on the safe side.

As stated, your fiancee can not go back into the Embassy without an appointment. For you to call the Embassy will do no good as there is no one for you to talk to that can do anything for you. If you can not go to the Embassy yourself, I would say that your only recourse is to wait and see if you get an RFE, approval or denial from AP. Sorry for the diffuculty that you and your fiancee are having. Hope it all works out for both of you.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! IM SOOOOOO SAD!!!!!!!!

While my situation was different (my fiancee's visa was approved but the CO decided to hold it for unknown reasons), I decided after calling the embassy and getting nowhere that I had to fly next day to the Philippines. When I got there (my fiancee was very happy to see me), my only recourse was to hand write a letter to the CO expresssing my concern for the visa not being released and it was my intention to fly back with her when I left on the following Saturday. We got the visa in hand on Friday.

 

While it may not be necessary, and it is a big expense, you might consider going there and hand writing the CO a letter explaining the error of your not informing your fiancee about your past transgressions. He may see that your relationship is indeed valid since you took the time and expense to rectify the situation. Your fiancee will probably enjoy your company (and a good long talk) also.

 

Good luck to you both,
