PhilippinesAffidavit of Discrepancy on Place of Birth
Got a problem here, I just got my passport today and they just found out that I've been using a different place of birth other than on my BC, the thing is I didn't bother to look at it before cause my mom gave birth in a city limit hospital, all my life I've thought my place of birth is where I grew up but not crying.gif , today before releasing my passport they need an Affidavit of Discrepancy on Place of Birth, I know that I need to revise my NBI before interview, I don't know if this is a ground to be on AR helpsmilie.gif ....

Any suggestions on what I need to do? Is the Affidavit of Discrepancy enough to show at the interview cause I think I wrote different place on the 129F petition also...... sad.gif

PhilippinesPOE- JFK
QUOTE (TinTin and Samby @ Sep 4 2007, 09:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi SkyBlue06,

You can enter the USA at any POE you choose, incuding JFK, if that is what you want. Once you have been processed by immigration and entered the country, you are free to travel where you want, including another flight to Portland, Oregon.

By the way, we are thinking of a plan similar to yours. My gal will be coming from Manila to Portland. While we arent really interested in the EAD at JFK for working purposes, I beleive it may make many other things go more smoothly during the inital weeks - month here in the USA: things such as Drivers License, SSN Card, etc.

Best Wishes! Maybe we will see you guys around Portland sometime in the future!


thanks guys, Good luck on your journey.......hope to meet you smile.gif

PhilippinesDS Forms
QUOTE (Forever in Love @ Sep 7 2007, 09:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi! Well, i think the US embassy in Manila will not post that specific instruction in their web site if it means nothing at all. Logically, it is specified in there to guide the applicants in preparing the DS Forms. So, no need to get confused as long as you follow simple instructions then you'll do fine. Goodluck! Anyway, if I may ask how many days after the NVC has forwarded your case to USEM did you attempt to call Lorraine? We were informed that our case has been forwarded to USEM last September 4, 2007. Would i possibly be getting an appointment date by Monday (September 10) if I call IV?Thanks skybleu06.


I called Lorraine 3 days guess after USE received our petition and nothing happened, cause she just advice me to wait for a month to know my schedule and she just checked the correct spelling of my name and the petitioner as well as the addy, but I didn't stop checking online everyday for my schedule and I got it after a week USE received our case.....try checking below....good luck

request a pick up to SLEC and you can get it after 3 days, you need to download the DS156 online to get the bar code, for the DS156K and DS 157 you can use whats on packet 4, thats from my own understanding in asking the forums several times tongue.gif

You can check the link below but I don't see CENOMARs as a part of the document requirements. The rule had been in the past that if the embassy had concerns about previous marriages they would order the CENOMAR due to the document fraud in the RP. Someone said this has changed but I still don't see it on the website so if someone can point it out I sure would appreciate it.

I received my packet 4 and theres a separate slip that says , we should bring CENOMAR fyi


So they are just putting a slip in the packet! Hum....can't be that hard to update their website wacko.gif

For us who are annulled it will appear in the Cenomar our previous marriage, if im not mistaken it cost P180.00...during the interview the CO wont get it cause they will be the one request at NSO, to be sure you need to get one, better to have all the necessary documents than to regret at the end

QUOTE (vsmtghdy @ Sep 7 2007, 02:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Carbocisteine is not an antibiotic, it is a mucolytic taht is good if you have a productive cough with phlegm. But if you have a dry cough (maybe the infection is not in the lungs and could only be an upper respiratory tract infection? like a Post-nasal drip syndrome? or just a plain colds?)

Coughing is a natural thing and one of our natural defense against foreign matters/bacteria/virus. That's why you're coughing because the body wants to expectorate and get rid of the foreign matters.

If you have a cold/Post nasal drip and you take carbocisteine, this will make you cough more because that's the action of the drug, to soften the phlegm and make you expectorate it, hence more coughing.

If you have a dry cough and more of an itchy throat, I think it is more of a post nasal drip that is causing your cough and not cough from infections from the lungs (like bronchitis, Pneumonia, etc...).

If you want a cough suppresant, so you will no be coughing that much, better take Butamirate Citrate (Sinecod forte) 2-3x a day. Drink a lot of water -> water is the best mucolytic. Take Vitamin C as well.

If you have itchy throat (makati sa lalamunan kaya napapaubo) -> you may take any decongestants available but this can cause dizziness sometimes and don't take those with phenylpropanolamine/ or phenylephrine before your medical. Try taking Citirizine 1 capsule once a day, mostly within 3 days (if this is more of allergic in nature that's causing the post-nasal dripping), you will be fine. If not, better consult a doctor near your area.

God Bless!


thanks a bunch ate Helen, I'm waiting for your reply hehe cause I know shes a doctor by profession....salamat po

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDid anyone file from Oregon recently??

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionROC: Request for Additional $85 for Biometrics of Adopted Daughter

My wife and I filed for ROC last week. Her 2yr gc expires near the end of November.

 

My wife and her daughter came here on a K1-Visa. I adopted her daughter in December of last year. Since then, we have already received her new birth certificate and a US passport.

 

When filing the I-751 last week for my wife, we put our daughter under Part 4, the section for my wife's children, but I checked the box NO for question 6 on if the child is applying with her. Since our daughter already has a US passport and US birth certificate, I should not need to file ROC for her. I paid $590 for the application fee ($505 + $85 for biometrics).

 

Today we received two letters in the mail:

1) I-797 Noice of Action for my wife.

2) Letter from USCIC to my wife.

 

In the letter, they are telling my wife that we should have included an additional $85 for biometric fees for our daughter. They say they reviewed her I-751 and the eligible conditional resident dependent listed in Part 5 requires biometric fees. (They must be wrong about Part 5 since the new I-751 has dependents in Part 4). They say we have 87 days to send another check for $85.

 

Why would they send this letter if we answered NO to our daughter filing jointly with my wife? We even sent in copies of the adoption papers, birth certificate, and US passport of our daughter, explaining that she was adopted and that she does not need to file ROC.

 

Should we have included our daughter as filing jointly?

Should we have paid the additional $85?

If I don't need to send the $85, what should we do instead?

 

-James

CanadaProof of meeting in last 2 years
Well I just called USCIS and they told me that I needed to wait for an RFE if they need the bank statements for proof I was there, in his town, in the last 2 years. There is no way of sending it now. So I guess I will wait.

Rob & Monika, it is hard to prove when you are not thinking ahead. I never dreamed that a few receipts that I could have kept when I bought something at the grocery store or when I bought things for my kids while I was there would be so important. Since I can use my US currency there, it makes it easy not to go and have monies exchanged and such. I too stay with him to cut down on costs and because we don't want to miss a minute apart.

When you go to visit the one you love, visas, proof, and such(for the future) never really enters a persons mind unless they already have it set that they are going to be petitioning for a visa. It was all about spending time with him. Now that we are in this process, I see that all those little things are evidence that I need.
