congrats!

can i ask you some questions,
I just received my NOA2 letter last Dec 07, I called NVC and I already have our NVC case # MNL2009xxxxx
can we schedule an interview already and get his medical done, even if he haven't received packet 3 and 4 yet?


the interview no.you have to be documentarily qualified. medical can be done in advance but be careful its only valid for 3 to 6 months.

PhilippinesMy fiancee is having problems getting a Philippines passport
hi there..

when i applied for a passport i did have my nbi clearance but was not accepted too.

And postal IDs are not being acceptep by some agencies and companies anymore.

went to my previous school and asked them for a year book.

but if she does not have that she could probably go to the school and ask them of any documents that could prove that she studied there. coz DFA wants older ID's. the OLDER the better.

PhilippinesBringing a baby/minor immediately with you in the US
QUOTE (CC JC Forever @ Dec 18 2009, 08:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Here are my questions:
1. Should my husband file a separate I-130 form for my daughter?
2. What are the requirements?
3. One of the VJ members answered my other post (in a diff section of this forum), that "You have a potentially big problem. You cannot get a visa for your daughter unless you get her biological father's notarized permission to let her immigrate to the US."---- Is this still needed considering my situation (story below)?!?


hi there we have the same case. Mine though is worst,My ex acknowledge my son.So my son is carrying my ex's last name.Late Last yr i met my super handsome and very loving husband. Early this yr he visited the philippines and we got married. April he submitted I130 for me and gabby (One for me and one for gabby). So when its time for us to submit DS230 we included documents to support that im the one and only legal parent of my son.

Here is my husband profile : http://www.visajourn...?showuser=65603
click on the link and youll find the documents we submitted.

Philippinesco sponsorship is not ok
QUOTE (The_Sage1 @ Dec 18 2009, 10:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiance hasn't had her interview yet, but I am planning on using a co-sponsor. That's not the point. The point is that they are telling people they accept co-sponsors on a case by case basis, and then telling all the benificiaries being interviewed that they don't accept co-sponsors. That's called lying.



thats why they say its a case to case basis. Its still up to them if they would accept or not.

PhilippinesROAMING SIM
QUOTE (melbergs @ Jul 15 2009, 07:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hi there! i just want to ask if we could bring and used either GLOBE/SMART sim and activated it as a roaming sim? if we already in the US? any idea?



Im using Smart Prepaid sim. It works fine.No maintaining balance or whatsoever. Globe has maintaining balance and if you go below the maintaining balance its automatic youre roaming will be deactivated,and the hassle of calling their customer service for days you wouldnt like. Globe is a great company though.Globe works really good IF you are in the Philippines.Ive been a globe user since forever But their roaming service is not realiable.

Plus with smart you can activate or deactivate anytime with their online facility.You just have to login. Hassle free.

Do you know if it has to be at the MAIN NBI station ? She is from Leyte and will have to go to the NBI Tacloban which is about a 4 to 5 hr ride from where she lives.



hey hi,base on what i know its available in CEBU and manila only. she would be able to get it in a few minutes. just bring her NBI clearance.

some agencies and companies does not accept postal Id as a valid ID. get an NBI card @ NBI main in carriedo. It is good for a year. or photocopy of passport. :) goodluck!

The real test of love is whether she (or he) can still utter those words when their partner has bad breath, farts, snores, or looks like they've been hit by a train.



uhm excuse me, I disagree. you can love a person no mattter what yes, but BAD BREATH?! seriously? Thats why there's the word HYGIENE. And if you do love the person you should be health conscious. brush, wash and bathe.

Philippineshey guys!!

Honestly, if I knew how difficult that first year was I would still do it all over again just to have her at my side.

awww i'm blushing :) sweet. thanks hun. :)

When I came to the US I had no idea it was so difficult to adjust, the weather, the lifestyle is all different. But hey after a year, we are still here, hanging on. There have been a lot of times when me and Bob would be arguing because I feel so down and depressed, but after a few months i was able to adjust, Gabby's adjustment was pretty easy. Now, gabby(our little boy) prefers daddy than mommy, daddy could calm gabby without a problem.

PhilippinesUS Embassy in Manila DNA
because when we were doing mine and gabby's paperworks i did not indicate that i have carlo, which that time I didn't know that he is alive. So we are kinda worried that embassy would want a proof that I am the real mom, not carlo's aunt or cousin. Sorry i know It's confusing.

This is a stupid question, mainly not really knowing the system...

This is what i know, the DNA is asked to confirm that the USC is the father of the philippines-born baby.

With your case, the kid is acknowledge as Anna's child in the petition. So, where would a DNA testing be needed when Anna already acknowledge that she is the mother of the child under petition. Being repetitive here. And Anna is not a USC.

There is an important missing link in the process... maybe because im not aware of it. :bonk:

How do I get my NOA2? Is it going to be mailed to me? Because the only notice of approval that was sent to us is a 1 page paper that was sent to my fiance in the US. Does he need to mail that NOA2 to me here in the PI?



No. He can scan the NOA2 and send it to your email. medical at slec does NOT need the original NOA2,Only thing i brought in as originals is my passport andID pictures.

PhilippinesMedical Exam at St. Luke's in Manila

Hello,

First, I'm sorry if I had to post this to the incorrect forum. I am trying to figure out how to post it on the regional (Philippines) forum but I just don't know why. For that, I apologize..

I am planning to have my medical on the 18th with my NOA2, passport, photos, and manila case number. We don't have the appointment letter yet but based on what I've read, I can have it as long as I know the manila case number. If I'm wrong, I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

I am just wondering... when I pay my medical fee, are vaccinations included? If not, do you know how much each or total? Thank you!


when i had my medical i had my NOA2, passport, photos and case number. I did not have any appointment letter

Yes when you pay medical fee everything is covered. (xray,vaccinations(for normal medical,meaning no other concerns)).
