PhilippinesHELP! Super BS for the CFO Certificate for marriage in PI!

Okay so heres the situation.. My wife is trying to apply for a new passport cause she lost it and plus shes ttrying to add her new married name to the passport. We had all the docs ready the nbi and aff of los and all that Then the agency told us we need a CFO certificate..

and im like "what the heck is a CFO certificate" The philipines has too many rules and too much paperwork i swear!!

I found out she has to take a senimar class from 2 to 5pm in either manila or cebu and its first com first serve.


WEll my wife unfortunatly she has no car and she does not work and she is raising my step daugther by herself and she lives nowhere near cebu or manila. She lives in the provence surrounded by grass. Now! She lives in the negros and the clossest place would be cebu but she would have to go on massive bus rides and boat rides to get to cebu and she has to make it there before 2pm and its a first come first serve.. she has nobody she can go with and she knows nobody in cebu.

I am worried out of my mind!!! Theres no way she can leave our dauugther and or better yet take her with her... It is far to dangerous and im worried about her traveling all that way by herself. My job also does not allow me to just up and leave to the philipines when i want... Next time i see her ill be there maybe in july or aug. But She needs her passport for the cr1 visa.

This is redicoulous.. she can travel as far as BAcolod which is a major city but she still lives 3 hours away from that.. Cebu is wayyyy father and she has to either take a plane or a boat!

Sombody please help! I need CFO



hi. May I ask which agency looked for the CFO certificate? is she applying for a passport for the first time? or is she just renewing her old passport to add her married name? because if its just a simple renewal, she doesnt need the CFO certificate. The CFO is only required when you are about to leave the PI already like when your CR1 Visa was already approved. No spouse or fiance is allowed to leave the country without taking the CFO seminar. They put a sticker/stamp on your visa once you finished the seminar. Best way to take it, is when the embassy already returned her passport with her visa. So she doesnt need to go back to where she attended the CFO to have her visa stamped. Again. CFO isnt required for applying for a passport. Her Birth certificate, marriage contract and a valid i.d will do. It's also better if she applies for the passport directly to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)

Philippinesnbi clearance wait
as for the birth certificate and CENOMAR you can directly go to the National Statistics Office in Quezon CIty and get it right away or you can request for it online at www.e-census.com.ph and get it in a couple days. I got mine that way.

for the NBI clearance, a month is too long. I got my clearance last week but I was first asked to wait for more than 2 weeks. what i did was I went to NBI taft and I got my clearance the day after. no more two weeks of waiting. i just had to pay them again for the clearance fee. I hope this helps. :)

PhilippinesSt. Luke's X-ray Machine

Just out of curiosity question, I hope you guys don't mind. I would like to know how long does a chest X-ray test in St. Luke take?

Thank you and God bless! :)



the chest xray is done on the 1st day of the medical exam. it takes only a couple of minutes. Its the waiting that might take as long as an hour. The results of the Xray will be given on a cd the next day.

PhilippinesHow do I present the pictures for the interview?
ok. thanks for all the help guys. so here's what i'm gonna do, i'll paste the printed pictures in a bondpaper 3 pics each then label them accordingly. I'll give them 15 photos. would that be enough or too much? haha. i have a presentation folder for everything. I hope everything goes well on my interview. Im excited and pretty nervous at the same time. haha

PhilippinesHow do I present the pictures for the interview?

i have a question that is in line with yours.. (sorry not heloping..)
can i just paste the pictures in a word doc, label them and print it?



Im not sure about that. I wanted to do that originally, but i read from somewhere here that the pictures should be printed by a company such as Kodak or something else like that.

PhilippinesHow do I present the pictures for the interview?
Hi everyone, my interview on the US Embassy Manila will be on March 25th and I'm almost ready. I only have to fill out the DS forms then makes sure I make a copy of everything then I'm good to go. I have our pictures printed out earlier today and I was just wondering how should I give them to my interviewer. Should I put them all in a plastic bag with labels at the back of each picture or should i paste them in a bondpaper and label them respectively? thanks. :)

PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE

Question though, where are you trying to get your NBI Clearance? In Robinsons Malls?



Nope. first time I went to Ever Gotesco Recto, then they ask me to wait for 2 weeks. However I found out that if you go to NBI taft instead they only make you wait a week. In my case I just repaid the fee and I got my clearance the next day. The process at NBI taft is really faster than what I've expected and everybody was so helpful. :)

PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE
[b]Ok. So I went to NBI Taft this morning. I asked if i can get my clearance sooner than march 14. Thank God there were officers everywhere and they've been really helpful. I was asked for repayment so I paid them again for the clearance. Then I was told that I can get my clearance tomorrow at 11am. I've only been there for like 30mins. It was really fast and I didnt need a fixer to get the clearance. Now I can breath better. thank you very much to all of you for the help. God Bless you all.[/b] :innocent:
admortemfidelisFemalePhilippines2013-02-26 03:22:00
PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE

Just be careful the "fixer" fix is just expediting the process, and not something else. The embassy does sometimes request the NBI clearance, or an NSO document, directly from those agencies. You best hope they match what you provided them. For the last couple of years, there has been a proliferation of forged and "fixed" documents being submitted to the embassy in Manila, and they are more than aware of it.



yeah. that's why I have second thoughts about getting a fixer. *sigh this is very stressful :wacko:
admortemfidelisFemalePhilippines2013-02-25 13:44:00
PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE

I have friends who encountered the same thing as yours in getting NBI clearance, even though their names were not that common at all. So I guess it couldn't be your phone bill, so relax, I think you'll be fine. About how to get it before the said date, one of my friends paid an amount to a fixer and had her NBI clearance in a day, and the sad thing is that the fixer is an employee at NBI.



Oh. yeah, is sad. but that is usually how govt agencies work. haha. problem with that is they will charge you so much.
admortemfidelisFemalePhilippines2013-02-25 12:45:00

note: dont make it appear as bribe tho just ask if there is anything they or you can do to speed it up a little bit because you need it so bad ;)

PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE

i begged for it :P then he said he will make a long distance call (w/c idk where) and i will be charged for the call (but i know better than that) so without any choice and out of desperation to get it sooner i said yes and i got it 2 days after :P this was a transaction outside the office tho and i know you know what i mean ;)




i had the same perspective before but it all changed after my experience of being asked to pay extra to get it sooner



Oh. I know exactly what you mean :whistle: haha. ok thank you. maybe i'll just do that. :thumbs:
admortemfidelisFemalePhilippines2013-02-25 12:36:00
PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE

usually they just put "hit" if your name is common like first name or family name and that could actually be fixed in a short amount of time IF they are willing to work on it a little sooner but sadly there are offices that just put hit on it because they dont want to work on the clearance that day and just ask you to come back few weeks after. i really had a terrible experience that i have to pay extra just to get it on time before my interview



that is true. most of the applicants there today were asked to come back on the 14th and that really wasnt the case before when i first got my NBI clearance. YOu know how slow govt agencies here are. You said you paid extra? for what? you think maybe i can do the same? what should i tell them?
admortemfidelisFemalePhilippines2013-02-25 12:24:00
PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE

It's probably not a hit but a thorough checking. This happened to me too and I doubt that I have a namesake.

My thought was that once your petition arrived at the US Embassy, they require more background checks on your name so when you went to NBI, it alerted them to make further checking. That is all it is. You will be able to get your NBI clearance on the 14th.

Good luck!


honestly that's what i first thought of. Since the first couple of NBI clearances that I got were just for employment and this time it's for travel abroad. and then I thought about my internet bill and then thats when i started worrying.

PhilippinesGot a HIT on NBI CLEARANCE
So this is my problem, this morning I went to get my NBI clearance for my interview which is scheduled on March 25th. I was able to get NBI clearance before with no hits, but today I got a hit and was asked to come back on March 14th. I am worried because I have an unpaid internet bill from SMARTBRO and I received demand letters to settle my bill which amounts to 4,000 pesos only. I stopped receiving those letters on December of last year. I know that it's very unlikely for them to file a case against me since no person can be imprisoned for non-payment of debt. I'm sure of this coz I was a law student for 3 years. However I'm still worried coz that's the only reason I could think about for why I would get a hit. Plus, if there was really a case pending against me, I should have received a subpoena or a warrant of arrest for that matter but I receive none of that. So I really doubt it. It could be just a case of having a person with the same name as I do. I'm so worried that I wont be able to get my clearance on time for my interview. So I was wondering if there is any way that I could get NBI to speed up the verification process. Is there? i really want this done before March 14 just in case something else goes wrong then I have time to fix it. Please help. :/

Hi everyone, quick question. Can I travel to the Philippines with just a one way ticket? I am still a Filipino citizen though I already have a green card. And also, my son will be travelling with me. He is a dual citizen and is also a holder of a Philippine passport. Will he be needing a roundtrip ticket or a one way ticket would suffice? Thank you?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports183 days waiting for noa2.

..i'm sorry to hear that..we got ours few days before we hit the 6th mo.,we are july 17 filer.. I assume you guys already called for follow-up right?..
..i don't know if what i did helped.. i asked for an online update on the USCIS website and after a more than a week we got our NOA2..

...i also have read previously that there are people here who asked for service request by calling..and got their NOA2 after a week..i just don't know how they did it..

..waiting patiently is the best thing to do but i know it isn't easy.. hopefully you'll get the approval soon..

..try to find ways on how to enjoy each other more..that's what we did, it helps with the frustration of waiting.



lucky you! congrats! ours was filed July 17th on CSC. we filed a service request last Jan 3rd got a reply after 2 weeks asking us to wait 120 days more. **sigh :( i hope it wont take them that long. We have no RFEs so I don't know why its taking them too long to do their jobs. I feel sorry for those who filed earlier before us. Guess we all have no choice but to wait. :(

I would just bring the pictures with you and let them attach them. I just paperclipped my pictures to my paperwork and they attached them themselves. I think smart casual is totally fine.

It should say on your packet 3 the size of pictures. I know mine were 2X2.



Yeah I think its 2x2. im just gonna bring a lot of extras just in case. :) thanks. :thumbs:
admortemfidelisFemalePhilippines2013-02-22 13:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportspreparing for the interview

1. I want to know the exact size of the pictures that I should attach to the DS Forms. Should they be American Visa size or 2x2 sized? is it the same size for the Medical exam?

For details on photo size, please click here.

2. Should I already attach the pictures to the forms, or should they be attached when they collect them from me on the embassy?

I don't remember whether or not you are allowed to attach the the photos in advance.

3. With regard to the western union receipts and tickets, this includes the VISA fee receipt from BPI, should i give them the originals or can i just give them the scanned copies and have the originals with me just in case they want to see them?

Try to give them copies, but have the originals with you in case they are needed.

4. The appointment confirmation letter. Is this the one that i got on my email confirming my appointment since i have set it up online? or is this a letter that i should receive from the mail?

The letter you may receive from the Embassy is a letter which tells you that you are eligible to schedule an interview and it gives you instructions on how to prepare for the interview. It's the same letter I linked you to in #1. It's not an appointment confirmation letter.

I haven't got that letter yet. Im sure Im gonna have it by the time of the interview. Just have to wait maybe a couple more weeks.

Did you print out an interview appointment confirmation sheet when you scheduled your interview online?


Yes I did.

5. What should I wear for my interview? should i go on full corporate attire or smart casual will do?

My preference is corporate, but smart casual should work too.

6. My interview is scheduled at 7:30am. Should i be there as early as 5am? or 6-6:30 will do?

6:00-6:30 AM will do fine.



Good luck !!! :star:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F denied thinking of filling for a I-130

Hello VJ member,

My fiance recently got denied for a k-1 visa because my income was too low. I did included a co-sponsor but Bangladesh consulate told us in the day of the interview that a co-sponsor for a k-1 visa was not accepted and that this was only validated for a I-130 petition. The officer also told my fiance to get marry with me and to filed the I-130 petition and that they were going to change my I-129f petition to a I-130 petition. But I am not even sure if this is possible or that means that we have to start all over? if any one has gone through a similar situation what did you guys did? feedback will really help on this situation.


Hi. I'm sorry to ask you this. i know its personal, but i just have to ask what u meant when u said your income was too low? did they tell you what should be your minimum income monthly or annually to get approved? i would really appreciate your reply to this coz im also worried about the same thing. please just send me personal message. thank you. :)

dear u should ask this kind of question to your doctor to get an accurate answer. obviously most people here aren't medical professional :thumbs:


and to answer your question if you could take those shot in advance i doubt it. because u need to take those when u got here in the US..


goodluck


Oh ok. Thanks. yeah I was really planning to see a doctor about this one. Coz the shots are required during the medical exam before the interview. I just wasnt sure if I can have it done before that and just have a medical certificate or something that would say that I already had those shots. :)

Hi, quick question. My fiance and i would like to get pregnant right away. But as i was reading the requirements and guidelines of the vaccination, it says there that vaccines includes live vaccines which may cause birth defects/deformities when given to pregnant women or to child-bearing women who may become pregnant within four weeks from receipt of the said vaccines. So i am just wondering since the list of vaccines required is already given, can i just have those that i haven't had yet in advance? So by the time the visa gets approved, i wont have to wait to get pregnant? :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresare there wrong answers during the interview?
Hi everyone,

My fiance set an appointment with CSC tomorrow in hopes of expediting our case. As the NOA2 is almost in our hands, I am getting anxious about the interview so I asked him to email me a copy of the entire package. Now my problem is, as I read through it I noticed that he got some of the dates wrong. My fiance is in the US Marines and has been moving a lot since we've met so I understand that he did not remember the dates exactly.

On his answer for question 18 on the 129F:

1. He put there that we met on October 2011 on Myspace, when in fact it was on September 2011 and this was evidenced by the screenshot of the very first message that he sent me.
2. He said that on his first visit to the Philippines he stayed until January 3,2012, but he stayed here only until January 1st, and this was also evidenced by the flight itinerary that he submitted.

If I am gonna be asked about this during the interview, would in matter that he made a mistake on the dates? would they take it against us that he didn't remember the exact dates? is this ground for my visa to get disapproved?

Does anybody here had the same experience?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGot the MNL#. whats next?

After NOA2 AND YOU HAVE YOUR MNL #

(don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy )

Once you have your MNL # you can take your passport and required visa fee (in Php) to BPI and pay your visa fee. The embassy website states that within 4 hours of paying at BPI you can schedule your interview appointment but most times it seems to take about 24 hours.

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

When scheduling online with the embassy you need to include the "XX" at the beginning of the passport number, your passport number IS your receipt number (normally).

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 for the embassy.

for DS forms
http://www.state.gov...dir/forms/visa/

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)

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.

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

http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

Preregister at St. Luke's, it saves time when you arrive.

CFO: ALL exiting required to attend. Things have changed with CFO, for sure follow the link and read the website

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.
