I have a question about DS forms.Should i fill up the ones included in the packet 4 using a typewriter?Or should i fill them out online?I'm just confused why are they sending complete set of forms if they also have a requirement that it should be dowloaded.Also, if it should be filled out online, what about the DS form validated by BPI at the back?Should i go ahead and fill the information using the typewriter? in the DS 156 as what others told me, you need to download online for the bar code. DS 157 use what is included on your packet 4, it can be hand written, typewritten or download....... as for me I downloaded online and if there are some Q's that won't fit in the space provided I used pen	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-09-04 05:57:00

Philippines	Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status	All this talk about Baguio makes me want to go back there again. If anyone is interested in a delicious American meal, I recommend Sizzlin' Plate, I think its on Session Road. It was there I had the best Porterhouse Steak ever, and it only cost $4 (200P). Maybe on my next upcoming trip I'll convince Fely that we have to go visit our niece that works in Bagiuo one last time before she leave the PI. Gary yep, its along Session road....I brought my fiance there and he couldn't believe its super cheap for a sizzling like that....the prices are still thesame....	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-05-07 05:24:00
Philippines	Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status	You said Baguio was very polluted. Lina and I were planning to go there while waiting for the visa to be delivered. Is it bad everywhere in Baguio or just certain areas to avoid? just go to Camp John Hay, or Baguio Country Club for a nice breath taking view...just dont stay near the down town area cause for this summer its so crowded....the problem here really is cause of the rising of PUV in the city....so if you dont like air pollution but its not worse as compared to Manila, just go around Session road and avoid the route of PUVs...	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-05-05 03:35:00
Philippines	Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status	I'm in Baguio right now I agree, it's gotten so polluted! Luckily, I'm staying at a place that's still surrounded by pine, with only a few (like, 3, I think) houses in the immediate area. If anyone's interested, it's near Wright Park, and.. St Joseph Church? I'm not sure of the church's name.. but it's big. Charges 3,500 per night, inclusive of everything but food and your clothes Has a fireplace, cable tv, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. I wish our house looked like that pad! It has a detached cottage thingy too.. Smaller, but cheaper (apparently, it has no fireplace, cuz I see no chimneys). Im just 30 minutes away from you hehehe....yeah it is cause lots of tourist come here for vacations...so sad that the local government dont impose strict rules....well at least for me I still prefer to live here than any other	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-05-05 03:22:00
Philippines	Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status	BTW, we went to Baguio for a few days. It was horrible. It was the absolute worst pollution I have every encountered. It was 10 times worse than Manila at it worst several years ago. I have been to Baguio before the pollution and it was a beautiful city and a lovely place to visit but if you can't breathe except while holding a handkerchef over your nose it is not so lovely any more. I think Baguio is not that worst compared to Manila...just wondering where did you stay? And during summer Baguio is where most people go to have short vacation cause of the weather....If you stayed around Camp John Hay or Country Club where most people go I think you might appreciate it....

Philippines	birth certificate question	QUOTE (Donny @ Apr 9 2008, 10:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE e. BIRTH CERTIFICATE. Your birth certificate should be a copy issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) and printed on NSO security paper. If applicable, you should also submit NSO birth certificates for all your children, even for those who are not applying for a visa. You may call the NSO Information Center at 02-737-1111 to inquire on securing a birth certificate or visit their web site at http://www.census.gov.ph. If the NSO does not have a copy of the birth certificate, you must obtain a statement about its unavailability from the NSO and obtain a certified original copy (not an extract) of the birth certificate from the local registrar in the town where you were born. http://manila.usemba...ov/wwwfk1en.pdf It is not specified in the Packet Instructions that the Birth Certificate has to be Authenticated. Hi! I think she got the correct one because if she request an authenticated bc or just birth certificate, NSO will still give her the same.	purdy_chris	Female	Philippines	2008-04-09 23:30:00

Please wake me up when the visa arrives. It would be wrong if I would say i understand you completely because I am not nor have I gone through the same lenght of waiting that you have now but I fully empathize with you. If it is just possible, I will give you a warm hug now just to comfort you. It is hard to understand sometimes why some have to wait so much longer than others. It is hard to understand God's reason for this things but He has His reason, and when the right time comes, we will understand why. I just hope and pray that you will never lose hope... try calling the embassy or better if your fiance will make the call coz they are more accomodating kasi if the call would come from the petitioner. At least you would know what's holding them up... and who knows you will get good news na when you call.. who knows they will release your visa this afternoon na and who knows you will receive na your visa anytime this week. It will come soonest... I am hoping and praying with you and for you. I want to share with you this text which was forwarded to me long time ago: "Do you know that the darkest hour is the hour before sunrise? So when you feel you're at your darkest moment, you may be just a moment away from your sunrise." May God be your constant refuge and strength. ahhh that's soo sweet. Thank you so much for the encouragement. I ask my fiance who is there in the PI to call them but of course like you said he doesn't get entertain. I'll try and call them this week. Hi ! I hope you can get your visa SOON! I really know what you feel right now.. Just pray to God and nothing is impossible!	purdy_chris	Female	Philippines	2008-06-11 13:13:00
