Philippines	Checklist for my Interview	QUOTE (beckypua @ Sep 30 2007, 07:39 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Looks good! You may need a letter of consent from the father for your anak to immigrate. Also it's WAY better, logistic wise, if anak accompanys you to the US unless you are planning to go back and get him. Looks like you aren't planning to take anak to the interview as you don't have DS forms for him. I suggest you look into doing so. Easier now than mamaya! Medical naman! We agreed that I'll be back to get him next year soon as I have my GC.....	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-09-29 18:51:00

Philippines	NWA	QUOTE (john_and_marlene @ Sep 26 2007, 07:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just be careful not to go over the limit. When we returned from a trip in January (Peak Season), overweight bags were charged $600 per bag and extra bags were charged $245 per bag. We already had 1 extra bag, but had 2 overweight and ended up purchasing a shipping box and redistributing the things between the overweight bags and the shipping box. We ended up with 6 bags total (2 excess) and had to pay $245 X 2, plus the cost of the box ($10) = $500 extra for the luggage. My wife really likes to shop! The two overweight bags were stuffed to about 36 kg each. wow thanks for sharing, I'll make sure I wont exceed the limit, the price I'll pay is a way more compared with the things I'm gonna bring	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-09-26 06:24:00
Philippines	NWA	QUOTE (john_and_marlene @ Sep 25 2007, 08:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is an exception for travel between the Philippines and the U.S. on NWA.

Philippines	Question about child	QUOTE (Tsup2 @ Oct 7 2007, 09:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My Fiance has a 3 year old son. The father is an American who abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant. The birth certificate does not list a name for the Father and is blank. I am concerned that embassy officials will want the identity of the father and require his permission for her son to leave the Philippines. He is in the United States and his whereabouts are unknown. Even if his location was known and we could contact him there is no incentive for him to assist her since if the child came to the US and paternity could be proven he would be subject to paying child support. Does the embassy require permission from Filipino fathers for their child to leave the country. Any info appreciated. Thanks if the child will travel with either one of his parents, DSWD wont require any travel clearance try the link below this might give you some idea TRAVEL CLEARANCE	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-10-07 08:50:00
