Philippines	i need help asap pls pls pls help me	Those documents that you've send to NVC will be forwarded to the US Embassy Manila. So if the consul ask for the original copy, just say its already with them. Just bring the photocopy. I only bring copies of those documents in the embassy.	purdy_chris	Female	Philippines	2008-09-02 14:53:00

OTHER COUNTRY POLICE CERITFICATES: Applicants aged 16 years and older must also present Police Certificates from other countries where they have lived for six(6) months or more after reaching the age of 16. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, aliases or nicknames ever used while in the country in question,including different spellings you have used of those names. so if you went abroad better secure a copy if not don't worry about it, NBI is all we need....

Philippines	DS 156	QUOTE (ryza @ Sep 13 2007, 07:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> skyblue06, so should we check the single never married? btw who filed your annulment? you or your husband? i (mean ex-husband hehe) yes i will check single never been married I filed my annulment last year...	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-09-12 22:17:00
Philippines	DS 156	QUOTE (jom @ Sep 13 2007, 06:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I presume the ground you used in your annulment is Article 36 which is psychological incapacity since it is the most popular ground in the Philippines for Annulment. Once you have the Decree of Annulment, the end result is that the marriage never existed and void from the very beginning and the only "acknowledged" result is/are the child/childrne borm out of that marriage who is/are considered legitimate, therefore you should check SINGLE NEVER MARRIED. Philippine laws DO NOT recognize DIVORCE so absolutely we can't use that. Just my opinion Myla yep, psychological incapacity, thanks a lot, I will check single never married then	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-09-12 18:23:00

Philippines	Wedding Gown Cost	QUOTE (jom @ Sep 12 2007, 08:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi.. . I just had my interview last september 11 and passed but days before that I went to tutuban and bought this beautiful wedding satin cloth already beaded with very small silver beads in patterns . . not the usual beads used in gown, it is simply beautiful and i bought it for P250 per yard from P350. . i bargained good i guess. I bought all the other materials like the lining and the other small things needed and all in all it only cost me less that P2,000. The labor is P4,000.00 so thats basically a P6,000.00 beautiful gown already. . . remember its not the price that counts or who makes it but how you will wear it on your wedding day. . as they say in tagalog " nasa nagdadala yan" you nailed it right	Chantel	Female	Philippines	2007-09-12 07:56:00
