PhilippinesIs Shipping USPS to Phils Safe via Registered Mail?

 

Your experience is truly unique with using the mail.  I read of many, many more that have a much less successful venture.


 

It is only Priority Registered Mail until it leaves the USA, then it is whatever when it arrives in the hands of PhilPost.  girlwerewolf2xn.gif


 

I think the key is generic and low $ values on customs form but yea, both packages for to her in 2 weeks. USPS Flat Rate International.

 

3 clothes $50

shoes $30

paperwork $0

 

I never claimed the perfumes, body sprays, jewelry or stuff that would get someones attention to take a look inside.

Well, Anne made it here and is dealing with the freezing cold temps now. We're getting married in a few weeks. She's eager to start working. So after getting married what are our next steps in this journey?

Philippinesprevious marriage NBI clearance

i am asked to submitt an NBI clearance with my name using my 1st husbands last name..

i applied for an NBI clearance with my name using my 1st husbands lastname.. and in marital status says: Annuled

did i do it right?

or should i just put my present name and put my name using my 1st husbands lastname on the "AKA box"

which is correct?


Went to NBI last week,.. filled up my maiden name and my ex husband's last name. On marital status i put Annuled. I was assisted with one personnel there, i paid for 2 certs. Since the two names are HIT, i need to get back on the 2nd week of this month.

Philippinespassport renewal

When i renewed my passport and at the same time change it to my married name, i attended the CFO seminar. I am not certain with your case but you can give it a try so you will know. And besides, that certificate from CFO will be useful on your departure for the sticker.


hi wud like to ask if there's en expiration to CFO cert.?

PhilippinesK1 with son

hi everyone!! i just want to know if it is possible or is it ok if my fiance will file the petition k1 and it include my son but the problem is my sons last name is not the same as mine? are we going to have a problem with that?? thank you!

 

 

There's no problem with different last names, if that's your question. But his bio father is listed on his BC, i think you have to consult an atty. on this. , so you can avoid potential problems down the road.

PhilippinesSt Luke's medical warning

Hmmm, they do ask for Annulment papers, the Decision and Finality copy, during physical exam. But i was pretty sure i will be exempted with the evaluation and exam, my ex husband was the psycho (this is a rude word, but yes he was, or i say he is), next thing i know i was already called to Immunization Room. For those who have gone Annulment, re check what the psych indicates in your papers, you might as well do the medical early, if it says both are incapacitated.

PhilippinesThe Philippine Women love to sing, So is a home karaoke system a part of life?

Its our way of having fun. it actually a therapeutic, especially when your stressed out .dancin5hr.gif It's not about if you're in tune or not, its about having fun and bonding. Yeah right it is more fun when you have more friends around. Make sure not to sing so loud, so not to get a high brows and a yell from the neighborhood. Is there a room with a sound proof?..I am also looking forward to have one, even if my future hubby didn't like that karaoke thing . Why what honey wants, honey gets...rofl.gif .

PhilippinesMedical exam

Okay I think i just found an answer to my question, silly me! i can't sleep the whole night worrying all this process and fees but i check my old passport and i actually went my medical exam on july 31, 2008 (thursday) and got my interview stamp on Agust 5,2008 (tuesday) which is  3 business days in between! i think we will just go medical on the 15th and my interview on 18th, really desperate to save money!

 

thanx VJ friends for the replies, it feels good knowing there's somebody still out there that understand!

 

I know how it feels, we are all saving money as much as we can. Ok, if you go on the 15th( Monday) , SLEC will schedule your kids to go back for TST interpretation on the Wednesday, that will be 17th. If it goes negative then same day kids can have the immunization same day. If not?, they will schedule your kid/kids for an xray, then again it takes a day before they'll give you the xray result. SLEC will then schedule to go back on the 18th( which is your interview date). Sounds risky.. During our medical we're done Thursday,got both cd's. On the Monday(our interview date) embassy told me, they don't have the medical result of my son yet)... which actually before we leave the SLEC i asked them twice if embassy will have our result on time, and they promised yes ma'am., only to find out, our results were separated.

PhilippinesPregnant

If i were her, i would opt for an hospital, to secure my health and the proper care. I remember my younger sister is also afraid of the hospital, she did insist to have it at home, and we ended up with a midwife too. She can inquire and ask the payment options in a nearest good hospital in her town, so you can have an idea and prepare for her needs in advance. Some hospitals lets you buy all the things that you need before delivering the baby(mostly gov't). If she has Phil health then lesser the payment. In my case i was fortunate since in laws were very supportive and they were with me the whole time, i didn't care the money thing, i was only minding the labor pain all through out . Congratulations! this is the beginning of a good life for you and your future wife.!


reginaglennFemalePhilippines2013-07-05 22:14:00
PhilippinesCommunication Proof

I only had 5 pages of chats, 5 pages of emails( both from my fiancee and my future mom), 5 pages letters, 5 selected greeting cards, 5 copies poems i wrote for him(funny, just decided to include, not necessary though), to think for more than 8 years, i can't imagine how to gather them all, and decided to the very last minute to have a few. But all these were useless, i slept late at night just to assemble all of them including pictures. During interview, both Fil and American CO just took a glance on our pictures, 2 flips and we're done. Right, they don't really spend much time on flipping all proofs, as long as all other docs required is present and look good, you'll know the verdict. Good luck!

Once 2GO received the visa, they will text you right away, for you to pick up your docs and will tell you the exact address on where to go( this is actually the exact address information you've provided in your appointment). When u get that text run to the said address....smile.png . Sorry careful not too fast....

PhilippinesVISA ON HAND!!!

Guys i was under AP during interview last JULY 11, 2013 ..them july 16, i checked my case status and it changed to this one-->>
What does this mean po? When i called the embassy, they just told me visa is on its final processing?

U.S. Department of State
IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Issued

Immigrant Visa Case Number: MNLxxxxxxxxxxxx
Case Creation Date: 11-Feb-2013
Status Updated Date: 17-Jul-2013

We have authorized issuance of your visa. Barring unforeseen problems, the visa packet will be delivered to your designated address by courier service within 7 to 10 working days from the visa issuance date. Do not finalize travel plans, purchase plane tickets, dispose of property, or cease employment until the visa is delivered to you. For visa delivery inquiries, contact 2GO courier service Call Center at (63)(2) 528-7136.

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.













 

 

On Ceac, when our status says ISSUED it says

 

"Your visa is in final processing..," etc....   Always check your email, if they're done reviewing your case, then they will print your visa, i think u will have your visa soon.  I personally wants them to take a little time (though not that long) to review my visa. It's good to know that they have not misspelled and put some wrong entries on it ( cause this will take another delay). Good luck!

Thanks..You will get a notice from embassy soon, check your email from time to time, when it says doc has been collected from embassy then its on its way to your address very soon , maybe the next day you'll get your visa na ..  I find emailing and speaking to someone from embassy , closer to knowing with the real status of our passports, at least it works for me.

July 11 -                              ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING

     ustraveldocs website

July 09 -  July 16 -              There is no status update available for the passport number submitted.

July 17-                               Passport is ready for pick up.

July 10-                              The case is currently under review. Once the review is completed we will notify you.

Philippinespaying for the other fees. who pays?

It's completely normal.Both can pay. You both should agree. Need to have an open communication especially about money. Money is a very sensitive matter, at times it's awkward for a topic. If your term is not willing, it has a negative hint. I hope you can both have a heart to heart talk.
