Annulment in Philippines

What's an annulment cost nowdays, about 30,000? Does it still take over a year?
Anyway, since the Police Clearances are so important it might be best to remain consistent. They will have to start at age 16 and be issued from every city she has lived in for "over 6 months" since that time. It is a good idea to simplify this information if possible. The G-325A will have only the cities lived in for the last 5 years. I believe the DS-230 goes back further. So, remaining consistent is very important. If she can get Police Clearances in her maiden name then all the better.
There are spaces on the forms where it asks "have you gone by any other name" - in that case she could put her (former) married name (ex-husband's family name). She could have a Passport issued in her maiden name and Barangay I.D. and Postal I.D. cards issued in her maiden name. And, of course, she will need the NSO Birth Certificate for all of that.

It is costing me 160,000 PH Pesos. But if she is able to get the annulment then I will be the happiest man on earth...and thanks so much for your reply....

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I'm so glad I found this site.
I hope someone can shed some light on something I'm a bit confused about. My sweetheart (Leticia) is filipina and lives in the Philippines. She has started the annulment process to end her relationship with her ex-husband. They were married for 15 years. She has two young daughters.

My question:
When the annulment becomes final in a year (hopefully), would it be best for her NOT to change her last name. After the annulment she wants to change her last name back to her maiden name and then change it to my last name when she comes to the US and we are married. She thought about doing this but I feel it might cause problems with the immigration process. I think she should just keep her ex-husbands name until she comes to the US and then we would change it to my last name after she and I are married. Any thoughts on this? Thanks...
Stephen

I don't think it would matter whether she change her last name back to her maiden name or not. What ever she prefers.

Either way, there will be a record of her marriage when she applies for the K1 Visa.

Thanks for your reply....

What to do about the Medical test?

You do not have to wait for the embassy to email you the packet. Download the packet at

http://nigeria.usemb...acket_K1_K3.pdf

The embassy only accepts the medical results of the Kamorass clinic.

Hello VJers:

ticket from Egypt Air because I did research that it was the cheapest from Kano to New York, much
cheaper than KLM. Does anyone know where in Kano to purchase a ticket? Thanks a lot.......

Sydney Consulate: packet 3 documents ready, how long before interview

Hello Aussie friends,

Our I-129F petition just left the NVC on October 21 and is currently en-route to Sydney. Thanks to VJ, we've been able to prepare all of our Packet 3 stuff in advance:

- I mailed the I-134, a copy of the NOA2, and a copy of our original petition to my fiancee in Oz
- My fiance just completed the medical two days ago (before we even had a NVC case #)
- My fiance already has the police check document
- Packet 3 documents are all filled out and ready for mailing

We can basically respond to the Packet 3 on the same day that Sydney sends out the email. So I have a couple of questions around this:

- can we send back part I of DS-230 along with the rest of the documents at the same time? Or does the DS-230 need to be sent prior to everything else?

- how long does it typically take the consulate to schedule the interview after they've received all of the required documents?

We're hoping to get this all done before December since I'm traveling down to Melbourne in mid-November and it would be just fantastic if we could come back to New York together with K-1 in hand.

Ghana interview process question

Hello all, this is my first time posting so be gentle. I have a few quick question. In Ghana are the packets mailed directly to the beneficiary, or can arrangements be made to pick up the packets? Also how can you track the movement of the case once it reaches the embassy (as far as when the packets are ready, when the interview dates are set), and when/how is the interview date given.

Thank you in advance for all of your help.

sinceramente la k3 yo no la veo como una buena opcion si uno tiene meses de casado al poner la peticion I-130 por que al arreglar el status me imagino que aun le toca tomar la residencia condicional y luego remover esa condicion tambien cuesta. ese dinerito mejor lo ahorro para el depa o algun otro gasto cuando estemos juntos. aunque despues de todo no tiene precio el poder estar junto a su amorcito lo mas rapido posible.

Si... la verdad que las cosas economicas no van tan bien, pero Dios ha provisto hasta ahora, y tambien creo que vale la pena por que el estar juntos hace la relacion mas fuerte. Seguramente Dios nos proveera 'sustento y con que cubrirnos' (una tortillita para mi que soy mexicana, y su platanito para mi esposo)

JaJAJA...
Si, se me ha olvidado actualizar la informacion de mi perfil. Lo hare ahora. Otra pregunta: ya que no hay lista de espera, alguien sabe, una vez que la NVC recibe la aprobacion, como cuanto tiempo se tardara la cita en la embajada de Santo Domingo?

jajaja me encanto tu tortillita y el su platano! jaja bueno pues si tienes razon todo es con el fin de estar juntos! espero que tus papeles se den rapido!

De esa famosa lista de espera era que yo temia! y no entendi a que se referia cuando en la pagina de la embajada decia que los casos ahora eran trabajados en NVC y que las citas las mandaban ellos ahora si entiendo!!! ojala que sigan las cosas bien y que pronto podamos estar junto con nuestros amores!!

solo para compartirles un chin de mi historia yo soy de padres Ecuatorianos asi que no tenia nada que ver ni buscar en RD pero asi son las cosas de la vida me enamore no solo del pais si no de un Mocanito precioso!!

una pregunta acerca de la k3 saben cuales son los costos para ajustar el estatus luego de haber ingresado al pais?

Hola, Sra. Castillo. yo estoy en la misma situacion que usted. Envie la solicitud en Marzo, y como en tres semanas me llego el NOA1. Seguire leyendo aqui para informarme. Yo tambien le pido a Dios que no se tarde tanto. Y si hay algo que se pueda hacer para acelerar el proceso, pues nos mantendremos informadas

jamas me imagine estar en esta situacion es tan dificil. por eso dicen que uno no debe de decir de esta agua no he de beber por que uno nunca sabe! yo que era alergica a las relaciones a distancia y me tuve que enamorar de una persona de otro pais y ahora estar en esto! claro esta que no me arrepiento de amarlo y de necesitarlo por que el es mi felicidad pero esta situacion de estar asi lejos mata!! lo bueno es que los vuelos nada mas son 3 horitas!! y que mi trabajo me permite viajar constantemente! en los dos anios que llevabamos de novios viaje cada dos meses a verlo y ahora de esposos en este 2008 ya llevo 2 viajes y voy ahora en mayo para su cumple.
