PhilippinesJob in Philippines
I never heard about jail time once you didnt finish the contract.. As simple as this she can apply work.. Then once the visa is ready...resign.. Besides its hard to find job here in the philippines even college graduate having hard time. She will be ok even she find a job and leave early..

PhilippinesFolks from the Philippines: E-Census service of NSO, any feedback?
I don't know if this is available in all SM Malls..but this one is the best option to me since i can't use the E-census, instead of going to NSO Office (or something) and experience that long line and long waiting (that I hate) SM Mall here in Las Piñas have this Business Service Center where you can pay bills etc. they have this government service too where you can pay to them to process your nso birth cert. and cenomar (you can get it after 1 to 2 weeks)then they gonna give you a release date (I got mine after 1 week Birth Cert and Cenomar)where you can picked up inside the mall too so no long line for me which is great.. :)

PhilippinesNeed help booking flights and hotels in Philippines
oh btw if you guys using western union to send money.. you can actually get a flight and pay to them too and tho its a lil bit pricey..(than normal rate) i did it couple of times.. less hassle for me. Trick is booked and pay your flight to them one week before your desired date.. for lower price.. they just gonna give you a print out of the electronic ticket(sort off) then when you go to the airport just show the paper (you have from W.U.) then you have your plane ticket. hope this one help

PhilippinesI'm wondering

two weeks for them to release a CENOMAR? so long! I was thinking to get a new one from Pasay 3 days before my interview. Lucky you said that, now I know. Thanks!


yeah two weeks :)
iluvmy_hubbybunnyFemalePhilippines2012-09-02 10:31:00
PhilippinesI'm wondering

I wonder whats the difference between a CENOMAR from Pasay to the other NSO Offices? Maybe if we get it from NSO Pasay, we should not detach the receipt from the paper because I think that's the only proof that it was taken from Pasay. I got CENOMAR from two different NSO offices and I can tell there's no difference between the two.


yeah i got two cenomar too from december and recent one ..(different NSO Office) no difference and yeah maybe they want cenomar with receipt 'coz like me i normally remove it.. well cenomar is only 195.00 pesos i guess it doesn't hurt.. just it took another two weeks .. hayz..
iluvmy_hubbybunnyFemalePhilippines2012-09-02 10:12:00
PhilippinesI'm wondering

I am 99% sure that a cenomar specifically from Pasay is not required.

We should start a thread asking how many people get visa approval even if there CENOMAR is from different NSO office.


yeah i agree.. :) good idea :D
iluvmy_hubbybunnyFemalePhilippines2012-09-02 08:28:00
PhilippinesI'm wondering

is this requirement goes to all applicants all over the Philippines or just the ones residing in Luzon or NCR this makes me worry as i am from Mindanao :S


i guess when you do your medical you can go to NSO pasay too ?? sorry if my post makes u worried .. cross fingers i hope none of us required cenomar from NSO pasay. I'm really sorry
iluvmy_hubbybunnyFemalePhilippines2012-09-02 08:25:00
PhilippinesI'm wondering

Yeah....and I guess I will need to send my wife to Pasay to get her CEMAR..... :crying:

aw it's ok.. the only negative side on getting CENOMAR/CEMAR in pasay is the long line and long waiting haha agrhh i hate it .. but i guess i have no choice :))
iluvmy_hubbybunnyFemalePhilippines2012-09-02 08:10:00
PhilippinesI'm wondering

Yeah....I don't understand that also. I thought the NSO is the NSO.


what i'm thinking is to get CENOMAR from NSO pasay too (even i have cenomar (recent date already) just to be sure .., that's the only way i can see to avoid getting 221g for CENOMAR better to be prepared than not i guess.. glad i read about it a while ago while i'm bored.
iluvmy_hubbybunnyFemalePhilippines2012-09-02 08:03:00
PhilippinesI'm wondering
I'm just wondering, I just read this link http://www.visajourn...php?entry=10301, embassy review.. they got 221g for CENOMAR, but she already have CENOMAR (recent date) from her local home town NSO office.. why US embassy asked for another CENOMAR that is from pasay office?? Im confused too..

The information in that link is dated and inaccurate now.




Manila Embassy:

After NOA2 AND YOU HAVE YOUR MNL # (don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3023.html

Once you have your MNL # :

You can pay your nonimmigrant visa application fee with cash or debit card at any Bank of Philippine Islands. Before going to the bank, you must print the applicable U.S. visa application deposit slip available below on this page. Take the printed deposit slip with you to pay your fee. If you print a deposit slip in advance of the day in which you plan to make your payment, please take note of the expiration date on the deposit slip. If the expiration date passes prior to using the slip to make your payment, simply return to this site and re-click the appropriate link below to generate a new deposit slip. Bank agents will NOT accept payments based on expired deposit slips. Upon receiving of your payment, bank will issue you a receipt. Save your receipt. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.

http://ustraveldocs....paymentinfo.asp

Select the deposit slip that matches your visa application fee from the list below. Values are shown in U.S. dollars and native currency. This page has more information about the different visa application fees.

http://ustraveldocs....visafeeinfo.asp

For K-1 the fee is $240

After you have paid the visa application fee, keep the BANK receipt for your records. It cannot be replaced if it is lost. You will not be able to schedule an appointment without your receipt number.
If you have an account with either Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI) or BancNet you may choose to pay your visa application fee online using their online bill pay services. Click on either of the links below if you are a BPI or BancNet customer and wish to make an online payment.

If you are paying for more than one applicant, please DO NOT make a lump sum payment for all the applicants. A UID/receipt number is required for each visa application fee payment for EACH applicant for scheduling an appointment. After you have paid the visa application fee, please keep the fee receipt for your records.

Receipt Format

Note: If you have a Bank of Philippine Islands receipt, your fee receipt number should be your passport number. If something other than your passport number appears in the circled area on the graphic, use that information as your receipt number. This receipt number verifies your payment and allows you to schedule your visa interview

When scheduling online with the embassy you need to include the "XX" at the beginning.

Priorty Date; this is the date the NOA 1 was accepted.

Make sure to print two copies of the interview confirmation page as you will need one for St. Luke's and the other (maybe, they might mail the interview letter) for the embassy.

(open all of these links then save them to your bookmarks so you have them for easy access)

Embassy Letter:

http://photos.state....3__rtf2_005.pdf

(Tagalog) http://photos.state....2__rtf2_007.pdf

(The DS-156 can be difficult to complete sometimes, if you have issues try a different browser.)

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ph/

Embassy (Manila) Phone Number (and email)

(632) 301-2000, extension 5184 or 5185 (local number: USEM 3012000 loc 5184/5185 call them around 3-4:30pm)

** (214) 571-1600 or (646) 254-3546 (these are USA numbers)


NEW EMAIL ADDRESS

In order to serve our visa applicants more efficiently, we have created this new e-mail address: IVMNLAppointments@state.gov , for early appointment requests and visa scheduling issues. Please note, however, that early appointment requests will be approved on a case to case basis (i.e., aging out cases, or in cases involving personal or medical emergencies), and only if visa interview slots are available.

For other immigrant and K visa concerns, please send an e-mail to IVManilaReplies@state.gov
.
To enable us to electronically sort the messages and provide better, more timely responses, you should follow the instructions below.
The subject line of your email should indicate the visa applicant’s last name, first and middle name (ex. DOE, John James), case number/USCIS receipt number, visa category and priority date.

Messages should be limited to 500 characters or less. The mail size should not be more than 15 KB.
Do not submit documentation or attachments with your message as our system is unable to receive inquiries with attachments.
Do not send your inquiry more than once as duplicate inquiries will congest our system and delay our response time.


************ INTERVIEW DAY: Remember no electronics are allowed in the embassy; no cell phones, no cameras, no memory stiks. And no food. **************


***
St. Luke's:

http://www.slec.ph/u...l#required-docs

Have copies of passport bio page, confirmation page from scheduling interview online at embassy (or if the embassy mails a confirmation letter bring a copy of that), and of course the 2X2 photos. (copy of annulment is asked for at times)

PREREGISTER at St. Luke's website, it saves time when you arrive. http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

CFO:

ALL exiting required to attend. There have been changes regarding CFO so for sure read through their website.

http://www.philembas...w_gcp_flyer.pdf

http://www.cfo.gov.p...onals&catid=140

Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: copies of; CENOMAR, certified birth certificate, bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together, from USC - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common. The "other documents" clause can be ANYTHING with those nit-wits at CFO.

** From the Family Code of the Philippines: it's 21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent.

Art. 14. In case either or both of the contracting parties, not having been emancipated by a previous marriage, are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, they shall, in addition to the requirements of the preceding articles, exhibit to the local civil registrar, the consent to their marriage of their father, mother, surviving parent or guardian, or persons having legal charge of them, in the order mentioned. Such consent shall be manifested in writing by the interested party, who personally appears before the proper local civil registrar, or in the form of an affidavit made in the presence of two witnesses and attested before any official authorized by law to administer oaths. The personal manifestation shall be recorded in both applications for marriage license, and the affidavit, if one is executed instead, shall be attached to said applications. (61a)

Art. 15. Any contracting party between the age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be obliged to ask their parents or guardian for advice upon the intended marriage. If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not be issued till after three months following the completion of the publication of the application therefor.A sworn statement by the contracting parties to the effect that such advice has been sought,together with the written advice given, if any, shall be attached to the application for marriage license. Should the parents or guardian refuse to give any advice, this fact shall be stated in the sworn statement.

PhilippinesSchedule the Interview

Ah, well she has paid for it, and i saw another topic that kinda explained the process.

http://www.visajourn...53#entry5568353

The issue was, i thought we could just get an interview by calling them. I didnt think we needed to do any of this online. So much to do... just when I thought we were out of the problem areas with the NAO2.

I have most of the form filled out but it is asking for a "Priority Date", what does that mean?


oh well other way is to schedule interview is call the embassy here's the number (632) 982-5555 or (632) 902-8930. Priority date is the date of your noa1
