PhilippinesK1 Manila Interview: Tax transcripts or Tax return 1040

Please advise based on your experiences... Thanks


Topic of heated debate in the Philippine forum. Tax Transcripts are fine and I know many many who have used them. I am not aware of anyone who has ever been turned down for them. However the website for USEM does say Tax Return but by that, it is my opinion they also mean transcript.

Some guy Filled out his I-134, and claimed to meet the minimum guidelines, but his 2010 Tax Transcript did not support those figures. He got put on hold and was asked to furnish his 2011 tax return, to support his claim. Somehow that got twisted into he got denied for having a transcript instead of return by some that don't understand the process.

I thought about this and I am confident that the woman I am with now is the most lovely sweet supportive woman than I have ever met. Anyone before her does not matter to me anymore because I had
at least two long relationships where I was not treated well. This is a no brainer. I am ditching any of these photos (my decision) before she arrives. I will never look back. I have enough individual photos of me from past. We will never separate. I am pretty confident about that but in the event we do, I'm done. This will be my second and last marriage. I will give this everything I have heart, soul and pictures ! :crying:

Just a different guy.. different choices. I valued every response ! Thank you all for your best wishes ! :dance:


I am like you, but it was the ones I forgot that I hidden in a drawer on a thumb drive that got me. It's a long story but I had to buy a new bedroom suite. :) Something along the lines of I will never sleep in that bed again. I am with you Non YA I am married to the sweetest woman in the world and would never do anything to hurt her but I had fun when I was single. Just advice to all sanitize the place.

I can finally get my life back to normal and work on my house. Focus on business. No more assembling documents, planning for trips to the Philippines (for a while) and most of all no more endless hours in Skype.

My finacee was approved today on February 15th at the Embassy. We are very happy. I will check in from time to time and it has been an interesting six months (actually 5 months and seventeen days) on our journey from NO1 till approval today.



Congrats-- Trust me I know the feeling.

PhilippinesGOT OUR MNL CASE, what's next

Hello everyone! :-D Me and my fiance just received the MNL case number but it has not been sent to Manila Embassy yet. I don't have the email or the letter that I'm supposed to receive from the usem. Question : Is it fine if I pay the visa fee at BPI since I already got the MNL case number and schedule the interview online/phone? Visa fee cost 15,400 php and for the medical is it 9,030 php?


There's just a lot of details for this process and we don't wanna mess this one up. Figures we could ask some help from you! Big thanks in advance! :-))))


Yes like the OP's said Go Go Go. If you wait on the letter or E-mail it will delay you a month or more, for no reason. My wife has been here since Mid Nov and we still do not have the letter from the embassy saying her packet is received. :)

PhilippinesShe's at embassy now for interview...

This is a bit nerve wracking, although probably not as much for me as it is for her. I got one text message from her at 4am saying she arrived at the embassy, and I assume that phone was then passed to her friend and she's now in there. I wonder how long this will be, because I'm not going to sleep tonight until I know the outcome.




Good luck to both of you. It will be fine. As long as everything is legitimate she will breeze thru. Mine was out by 11:00 PM EST.

PhilippinesBalikbayan Box from LA to Cebu through LBC

I'm planning to send a balikbayan box filled with clothes, shoes, chocolates, soap and whatnot to my family in Cebu. Do you think utilizing LBC's freight shipping is a smart idea? I've tried sending small items to Cebu before, such as a digital camera and a mobile phone, but haven't shipped a regular balikbayan box.

I live in SoCal so I contacted LBC today and the woman on the phone said that regardless of the weight, one regular balikbayan box will cost $65 when sent as a sea cargo and it will arrive in the PH between 30 and 40 days. On the other hand, they charge $4.50/pound with minimum of 48 lbs. for air cargo and it will arrive in Cebu two weeks later.

What other viable options can you guys recommend in sending a balikbayan box? What type of experience did you have using the services of LBC?

Are there basic stuff that I shouldn't include or is it okay to add soap, vitamins, shampoo and chocolates?

Ginagmay'ng pahalipay lang gud ni. Posted Image


I have used them many times from Georgia to Cebu with no issues.

PhilippinesHow realistic is it to get all the manila portion of the visa pricess done in 3-4 weeks?
We got our NOA2 on 9-23. The NVC issues our MNL case number on 10-12 and we had our interview and were approved on 11-03. A little over 5 weeks from NOA2 to Approval. Once you have MNL you can really move.
The Nature BoyMalePhilippines2012-02-24 05:25:00
PhilippinesHow realistic is it to get all the manila portion of the visa pricess done in 3-4 weeks?

Once NVC receives the case, how realistic is it to get everything done in 3 to 4 weeks?


VAs soon as you get your Case number from NVC pay your fee and schedule your appointment. Make sure you allow enough time to get your medical at least 3-4 days before the interview. You don't have to wait on Manila to receive the packet, the bulk of the info is transmitted electronically as soon as NVC assigns it a case number. But if your package has in transit you should be able to have your interview in a minimum of 3 weeks. We had our medical and were done with the interview in less than a month after the day NVC assigned a case number.

And on Edit to Hanks point, I did not include the time waiting on VISA to be delivered in that time frame. You can factor in another 7-10 business days for that normally.

Philippinesusem insisting to wait for packet 3..what to do?

Absolutely!!!! Dont wait for any packet 3 from USEM! You might be waiting until March 2013 for that packet. You got your case Number, Schedule it Online!! Its Amazing! people work at a Entity that people rely upon for accurate information and they tell you this :mellow: Go Ahead and Schedule Online! Good Luck!:thumbs:



The embassy has a script they go by, but just like many Gov't agencies it is outdated. The clerk that told you that has probably been working there since Moby ####### was a minnow, and does not realize they don't mail packet 3 and you can schedule on-line.

That was why I got so torqued and an individual that shall remain nameless, a few weeks ago, becuse we are here to help each other succeed despite a government bureaucracy, not cut and paste there outdated regs.

As anyone who has ever served in the military can tell you, the truly successful soldiers where those who understand the regulations thoroughly and knew how to work around them to get things done > :)

WoW I am getting so short I may dig out my "short tag" from when I was across the pond many moons ago and start wearing it for laughs.

Mexico, Latin & South Americaevidence for interview

Hi everyone! Sorry this post is going to ramble a bit! We are finally coming up to our interview and I have a couple of questions about providing evidence of our relationship. What we do have is over 350 pages of messenger live chat over the past year (nothing that dates back the past 6 years prior due to her laptop having been stolen a year ago as well as my not seeing the need to save the chats :( ). I have travelocity itineraries, some photos of us when she was in Portland on a student visa and a few photos from my visits to Mexico, e-mails and a few phone records. I have a couple of questions: Should have friends who knew both of us 10 years ago write character references attesting to our relationship back then as well as references from more recent friends who are familiar with our engagement! Most of our communication other then visits is through live chat and video chat with each other.

Another issue that may or may not be a big deal is the engagement ring. I bought her one a delivered it to Mexico, however I only bought it as a gesture for her not thinking I needed to prove anything to anyone else so I never thought to save the receipt (after all it would due her no good for resizing in Mexico). I can see how some people would be perplexed by this but that is just how I am wired unfortunately. I do have the certification and a bank statement saying I spent money at Fred Meyer that day but FM cannot send me a copy of the receipt or record of the transaction. Should I attatch a document explaining the situation or just leave her with the bare facts and hope the interviewer will understand? Lastly I will be with her in Juarez for the week leading up to the interview and will be accross the street during the interview. Is there anything else I can do at that point other then wait and be there for support. Thanks for all the helpful posts on this forum as well as for making it through this long ramble. I hurriedly put it together before leaving for work in hopes that I may get a couple more last minute ideas that I haven't thought of to strengthen our case.


Luke


Your in the Filipino forum. I would advise you that most of what you said is overkill, but almost everyone here has Manila specific experience. I Have heard every embassy is different to some degree so I can't really advise you.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751ROC and lving overseas

We are going back to the Philippines in Oct for 3 months. when we get back we will file for ROC.

 

Will this affect us. Once we get ROC we plan to live part time in each country, so I have to be able to bring my wife back and forth.

 

About how long does it take in general


The Nature BoyMalePhilippines2013-04-30 12:54:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionTo file ROC with only 2012 year tax Returns???

Why do you want to send full tax return ? What would be the point ? It is not used to verify you're paying/filing taxes, it is used to establish whether bona-fide relationship exists between you and your spouse.

 

I send two first pages from 2012 tax returns (mine and my wife's) that showed we filed married filing separately and each of the returns had spouses name and SSN. That's it - nothing else. I was approved in less than 3 months with no problems at all.

 

Odd we were putting ours together last night. I went to print our Income Tax returns and only printed the first to pages for my wife. When she asked I explained they had no need of the other 14 pages of rental deduction worksheets, Schedule  etc etc. I agree with you 100%

 

I learned during the K-1 process more is not always better. People way over do most of the time

All right, as long as you did your research. My husband's $2500 included the cap in NY. It's all done and he loves it. I did bad math to your 4 times $3500... $14000 not $16000. :blush:



Implants are like Cars. Costs can vary greatly depending on if they have to do extras, like bone grafts, etc. It can go over three easily. Heck I had a crown come off a tooth that already had a root canal the other day and it was over 800.

Last time I went to the PI my dentist told me that if I had a tooth act up over there, that the Philippines had a reputation for having some good dentists.

The Nature BoyMalePhilippines2011-10-13 18:56:00
PhilippinesTrying to get MNL Case Number from NVC BUT~!

My NOA2 was approved September 29, 2011. I tried my luck to call NVC to get our MNL Case Number so we don't need to wait for the letter to arrive in The Philippines and we can go ahead and pay our visa fee and setup an interview and do her medical at St. Luke's.

Well I called today October 12, 2011 and the operator asked me for my receipt number and what my NOA2 stated. My NOA2 states "The above petition has been approved and has been forwarded to the listed consulate." I asked her for my MNL Case Number# and she told me that our letter stated that our petition has been sent directly to the consulate. I told her that I don't think that works that way. That the NVC receives the petition and mails it to the consulate. She said no... that was it states on my petition and that's where it went. I asked her well do you know if I have my MNL Case number assigned already? She said no, she doesn't know since the petition should go to the consulate and that she has no info on my petition arriving at the NVC.

I told her ok and thanks and hung up the phone. I knew already I was dealing with someone who didn't know what was going on.

I am thinking that I called to early since its only been 12 days since our NOA2 was approved and probably didn't arrive at the NVC yet. So that might be the reason why it doesn't state on her computer that our petition arrived at the NVC.

Anyone had to deal with this sort of thing? Should I wait another week and call again and request a supervisor if the next operator doesn't know what's going on?

I would really like to setup our interview ASAP so I can go ahead and buy my plane ticket and can make plans to take off work since I'm going to attend my fiancee's interview in person with her.




I agree. Call every day. My NOA 2 was 23 Sep and I got my MNL on 11 Sep and I already have an appointment for 3 Nov. I usually call after 6 becuse the call volume is lower and most posting for the day have been done. As soon as you get your MNL case number go ahead and pay your fee. Later that day you should be able to schedule your appointment. Don't wait on the package to get to Manila. That will 1-2 two more weeks to the process. .

Philippineswant to meet new friend

Hi everyone, im new here in the US,want meet a new filipina friend from south daytona coz i dont know no one here.and gets me bored sometimes..want to make a gud friend with u if possible...huhuhuhu


I understand. I am about 5 hours North. There is huge Pinoy community here. I have many Filippino friends here, many of whom have already reached out to my fiancee who will be here in a couple of weeks. A couple of my good friends started dating Filippina women and got engaged to them here. They are the ones that encouraged me to pursue my relationship with my soon to be wife, I guess it will help the adjustment to be surrounded by close friends from her home province.. One of my good friends was actually visiting Cebu and spent the day with her. They are close friends now.

Not to stereotype, but I have found that many members of the local community know each other, and attend big social events together..

Here is a link to a good place to start. Good luck.

OMG! Just got off the phone with NVC and we wanna share our happiness to everyone! Our was CASE COMPLETED last October 24! :dance: My next question is, whats gonna happen next? We did learned that our case was completed by calling NVC and talking to an operator. Will NVC still send us emails confirming CC? Or the next time they're gonna email us is when they already scheduled our interview in USEM Manila? When should I expect to receive such emails (re interview being scheduled)? How about the medical examination? I'm too excited! Haha! Psyched! (L)

Anyone who'll be reading this, advises/tips re medical examination in SLEC and interview in USEM Manila will be greatly appreciated! Thanks y'all! :luv:

P.S. Anyone can join/post in this topic (Filipino/Filipina beneficiaries/petitioners/applicants are encouraged! Haha! :lol: ). You're experiences will serve as inspirations to me and hopefully to others too. Going through this very long, draining and exhausting journey will be a lot easier if we'll be helping each other. GOD bless and advance thanks to those who'll be replying. (F)




Call them back and get you MNL case number. As soon as you get it pay you fee at BPI. Then wait 6-12 hours and schedule your appointment. You do not have to wait on letters. Start doing all your paper work. You can print the forms online. You should be able to get an interview in the next 3 weeks. You can go onto St. Likes and take your medical whenever you are ready. Your almost there.

PhilippinesSo confused...

My husband has been unemployed for almost a year now. He quit his job last December of 2010 because he "hated his boss" and he said that he "couldn't take it anymore". He said he was gonna start his own business and find another job if it doesn't work out. Well, it's been almost a year. I was very much against his plans because I realized how hard it is to find a job in this economy. We have lots of bills to pay specifically almost $700 a month of child support amongst other things. On top of that, I was just starting nursing school. I begged him to wait 9 months until I finish school and we should be fine. I told him that he can quit his job by then. But he did anyway. He just texted me one night in December and told me that he already put his 2 weeks notice. I was so disappointed. Sure enough, three months later, I had to quit school to get a second job so we could stay afloat. We couldn't afford to pay child support anymore so his driver's license has been suspended since May this year. I am working two full-time jobs as a CNA. Right now, he's still looking for a new job. He tried to start a new business but it didn't work out and I just can't help getting upset about all of it. I offered to get him a job where I'm working but he said he "does not like wiping poop". He said he has done that before and he didn't like it. I honestly just don't know what to do anymore. Our bills are piling up. I'm worried about the car getting towed.

Despite all of this, I do love my husband. I wouldn't be married to him for almost 7 years if I don't love him. I am just really frustrated and I just don't know what to do anymore. What would you do if you were in my shoes?


I don't know. However in my opnion anyone who quits thier job before they have another lined up has issues. Everyone dislikes thier boss at some point or has periods in which they don't like what they are doing. If it's that bad you start hunting another job. It's much easier to find a job if you have one.

I sympathize with you, but this is one of my pet peeves. I know a couple of people locally that did that , then ask people to pray for them or ask people to take up collections for them. I truly have no sympathy for them. P.S. Do you know he quit, maybe he was fired for something and does not want to tell you.
The Nature BoyMalePhilippines2011-10-26 04:31:00
PhilippinesHow soon did you receive your notification?
I think 3 months is the minimum most people would get a NOA2. and the times for the Visa are a little long. It took me a little over 3 months to get Visa (which is quick) and if everything goes ok we will have Visa in a little under 5 months.

I think the Average Noa 2 is more around 4-4.5 months and the average Visa is 6.5-7.5 months. I jut got lucky and caught VSC in an up cycle.Of course some go faster and some go way longer.

I have heard some people say 1 month from Noa1-Noa2 but I am skeptical of that .

PhilippinesGoing to Cebu

Hello everyone :)

My husband and I are going to the Philippines this December and we’re planning to go to Cebu and Bohol for a week. I have been to Bohol several times so I have an idea of where to stay and what we will do (though I would welcome suggestions also). I’ve been to Cebu also but mainly for seminars and conferences so I really haven’t explored the place yet. We love the beach and historical places. Any suggestions on where to stay, what to do, etc.?

Thanks :)


I went back in may. Stayed at the Radisson Blu. Really Really nice hotel. I can't say enough good things about it. The SM mall is next door. You can cross the street and go to the mall.
http://www.radissonblu.com/hotel-cebu

I go to see the Lapu Lapu shrine on Mactan---http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MactanShrineStatue1.jpg

The Old Fort San Pedro--Fort San Pedro National Museum---http://philmuseum.ueuo.com/nm_museum/nmbranch/fsnpedro.html

There is an old Spanish home. I think it is on Colon. Can't rememeber the name

Of course you can't not go to the Cross of Magellan and the St. Nino church in Cebu--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellan%27s_Cross

And my favorite place in all Cebu. I made my family carry me back. The rice balls and Chorizo are to die for. Wings are the best ever. --https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cebus-LARSIAN-Barbeque/95412234347?sk=wall

PhilippinesBest Place To in Manila?

I am looking for advice on best place to stay in Manila.

Planning on going back to the Philippines for about Month.

Like some place with comfortable bed and air conditioning.

Like to find out about the nicest places for the money.

Also the most basic but clean budget places.

Where are the better areas to stay in Manila?

My Past Trips I have just Stayed in Cebu Mostly and liked it a lot there in Manila have only stayed near Mega Mall.

If a place has a fitness center is a big plus but not required. Price and comfortable bed and air conditioning is most important.




My fiance stays at the Lotus Garden near the Embassy. Nice, clean and reasonable.

PhilippinesBooking plane ticket from Philippines

That's what I mean, "but you can't get miles for her travel on any airline I don't believe." I meant that scruffydog could not earn miles for her travel. Of course she can earn miles if she has a FF account.


I think you are correct. I think I will get her to sign up for a KAL account then just send her the money .

PhilippinesBooking plane ticket from Philippines

I did Delta from MNL to ATL (via NRT and MSP) for my fiancee and our daughter. I booked in their names on Delta's website. Paid with my CC. Got FF (SkyMiles) miles for the card, but you can't get miles for her travel on any airline I don't believe. They took CebPac to MNL from CEB.
You can get MNL to ATL via NRT if you want to pony up the extra funds.

A word of caution: Delta (and I believe most other airlines) will no longer accept a photocopy of the card used to book the ticket. Delta required me to come to the airport and present the card and ID before they would remove the reservation "inhibitor" from the reservation. This allowed her to board without the card.

P.S.: We looked for several weeks...most of these so called "immigration specials" are just as expensive as normal flights, they have very limited seat availability, and they are usually multi-carrier and multi-stops. The best one we found would have saved me about 250US for both tickets but it was 4 stops and 36 hours total time. If you book MNL to ATL via NRT she can be here in about 18 hours.


The more i read the more it sounds like I just need to wire here the money and be done with it. :)

1. I really want her on the KAL flight that goes C-boo --Korea--ATL because it is the shortest flight by many hours and she would only have to change planes once in Korea. About 23 hours total travel time. It's a hard trip anyway and would hate for her to have to travel 30 hours and change planes twice. even if I have to pay extra.

2. I need to pay for with KAL Visa card becuse I get double sky miles.

3. I would also get sky miles if she uses KAl.

She is part of your FB group.. I Just asked her as she was on the way out the door to her Medical this morning at St. Lukes.
