Yeap! Am so very excited really. How about you? How is your wife taking it? Hope she is not as nervous as we have been hearing from others account. Gud luck Roserick!!


She's always nervous when she's not with me.. I feel if I'm not going to be there for her Interview she would be speechless or faint or sumtin.. Hehehehee..

Yepzz Good Luck to them.. I hope this process would go smooth as possible..

Everything is ready on her part.. She got her Appointment letter, 2x2 pic, and of course her passport..

Just the matter of packing her stuff for the 2 days journey..

I really wish you could be there man.. So we can hang out and stuff.. Hehehehe!! But I feel you.. good.gif

i suggest to pay the delbros P650 payment 3 weeks before your interview coz the immigrant visa unit told me that the document verification takes 2-3 weeks especially for late registered birth certificates.



I will take that advice... blink.gif

hello everybody,

i just hope the USEM or Delbros will start the verification of NSO documents once we pay the additional P650 BEFORE the interview so as to not affect the visa processing time. I HOPE.


They are doing that. That's the purpose of paying the fee at least 2 weeks in advance of the interview.



In my opinion.. Even with this payment, I still don't think we can assure a no delay process..

It is not even our call to say that.. It is the consul.. If the Consul say I will put you on AR.. What are we gonna do? We can't say "Oh you can't do that! We have paid the Verification fee of 650 PHP."

It still in the hands of the Consul..

Did you or your beneficiary pay yet at Metrobank? I plan to this Monday or Tuesday.. its payday for my fiance on Monday.. and I hope she can get this done since we have a problem too as her Mothers name on the birth certificate isnt complete... My fiance's mother has the name correct on her birth certificate but not on my fiance's birth certificate... My fiance says it could take up to 2 months to fix this problem as it has to be fixed at the local registar before NSO can change it... I dont know what the local registar is.. anyone got a clue?


We have the same problem like yours.. But ours was Typo on our Marriage Contract.. They typed my Nationality as Filipino which is I am a USC.

Well to get it fix we went to court and hearing to prove my Citizenship. It cost me 40K pesos through the whole process..

But now everything is almost complete.. Local Registry already have the Edited one and NSO is currently processing the new edited one.

So we don't pay DELBROS no more at the USEM? After the Interview, we just go home or find the nearest Metro Bank to make the Deposit for the DELBROS fee?

One more thing.. They seemed to have raised the price.. Or you have to add more for Province Delivery?

How does it work for Visa Pickup?

LOL my son can ONLY SAY MAMA AND PAPA RIGHT NOW. HE IS ONLY 14 MONTHS..
WELL IM NERVOUS COZ WE WENT TO THE USEM B4 TO GET THE LEGAL CAPACITY CERTIFICATE AND I HEARD SOMETHING DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH THOSE OTHER APPLICANTS, AND IT WAS SCARRY ...



We were scared too.. Cause we just showed up in the interview. We didn't bring any documents with us..

When we got to the Interview everyone was bringing Photo Albums, and some are still getting AR for insufficient proof and was asked to do DNA testing..

These cases mostly happen on a Foreigner and a Filipino couples...

So when we were called.. Thank God I have pictures of my wife and my daughter on my wallet.. But the consul just asked out of curiosity.. It wasn't really big deal.. We were approved already after he asked me. "By Any chance do you have any Pictures with you?" See that? By any chance.. Means to me that if you have that's good, and if you don't its alright.

Don't let fear get in your way.. Just tell em the truth and nothing but the truth and everything will go smoothly..

I still recommend your husband's presence though..

IVE READ AT THE USEM WEBSITE THAT IT NEEDS TO BE BOTH PARENTS TO APPEAR DURING THE INTERVIEW FOR CRBA AND US PASSPORT APPLICATION FOR OU SON.. MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES FOR THEM TO SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW AFTER U SUMBITTED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS TO THE USEM?
SO I CAN MAKE AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN TO SUBMIT IT COZ MY HUSBAND TAKES HIS RNR ON AUGUST, I WANT HIM TO BE WITH US DURING THE INTERVIEW unsure.gif unsure.gif

PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE WHEN FILING A CRBA AND US PASSPORT FOR YOUR CHILD...

THANK YOU


Depending how busy they are...

It took us 2 weeks after submission of the requirements.. I even had to call them to put a rush on it, cause I needed to get back in the US. I have a job waiting for me..

You can always call them and they can always make an exception depending on your reason..

QUOTE
My child is too young to sign his/her own passport. How do I sign my child's passport?

In the space provided for the signature, the mother or father must print the child's name and sign their own name. Then, in parenthesis by the parent's name, write the word (mother) or (father) so we know who signed for the child.


Thanks guys.. I too need to know this..

Also don't forget to get your USC kids who are currently in the Philippines to get Exit Permit from the Bureau of Immigration (Intramuros) Or else they will not be allowed to exit Philippines.

since the deadline for filing taxes is April 15th, i don't think they would ask for it, since your interview is in Feb.


Plus what I had in mind was.. Aren't they only going ask you for the ITR's you submitted to NVC with the I-864?

I will just shut my mouth regarding 2007 ITR..

Thank You so much for the advice.. Got a little peace of mind.. idea9dv.gif

I have a question regarding ITR's..

So ok.. What I submitted to NVC for my Affidavit of Support I-864 was my 2004, 2005, and 2006..

Now that I have an Interview on Feb 20. Do I need to show 2007 ITR also... I am afraid they might ask me for a co-sponsor and put my wife on AR..

I didn't make that much last year.. I am a $600 short of the poverty line level..

I was thinking of not mentioning 2007 ITR since I didn't submit that for my I-864 anyways..

What should I do?

PhilippinesCFO question part 2
QUOTE (jayzar @ Jan 19 2008, 10:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
When I have my CFO GC Seminar in Prism last Oct, it went on for less time than I expected. I was in by 3:30pm, and went out by 4:30pm. It only took an hour, and there were only 3 of us in the US room so the staff decided not to show the video clip, and she just summarized it to us. laughing.gif

As for the counseling, it didn't take too long too. She just asked me when and where did I met my husband. And when she found out that we were together since high school before he migrated, she smiled and made me sign the papers already.

Normally it wouldn't take long. It depends on the number of participants and the mood of the staff.

Just be truthful, smile, be confident with your answers. good.gif You CAN do it!

Good Stuff jyz.. You make me feel comfortable with your advices...

Me and my wife were childhood friends from when we were toddlers.. I migrated to the US then came back to visit Philippines when I became a teen. Met her again, hanged out for couple of months, Courted, fell in love, got married, and now we have a beautiful daughter.

I would like to know if upon filling out the DS-230 Part I and Part II, do you send both parts back to NVC or just the part 1 because the part II is unsigned and only to be submitted during interview? Thanks.

Fill out both part..

Have beneficiary Sign Part 1 only.. (She will sign part 2 on the Interview day.. Same forms that you submitted to NVC)

Send both parts to NVC..

PS. Don't forget to include the documents required.. All Original except for the Copy of biological Info on the passport, and don't forget to put your case # on every upper right corner of each documents.

Philippinesquestion about CENOMAR
QUOTE (mirazalea @ Jan 19 2008, 03:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I read from some of the posts that one of the requirements during the visa interview is the CENOMAR. I have requested for a copy of my CENOMAR online & just today I received a copy delivered to me thru their courier service. Based on my estimate, I will most likely have my interview during the middle part of March. My question is, will it matter if the date of my CENOMAR request is at least 2 months before my interview date? I am just thinking to gather in advance some of the documents required for the interview & I think that getting a copy of the CENOMAR even if I am still waiting for my packet should be okay...


Don't worry.. As long as you have em..
