PhilippinesRenewal of Philippines Passport under marriage name


one thing i did notice, different consulates require different things....why?....i have no clue. but, below is the L.A. consulate forms & requirements.

I agree,they require different things in different consulates,doesn't sound logical to me at all. Somebody has to explain about this #######! Just make things confusing! Philippine Embassy in all different states here in the US is still Philippines Embassy and not a Singapore Embassy or something so why bother to make it all different??? Grrrrr

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionSimple question: what to take to biometrics date
She has to bring the Appointment letter, passport and marriage certificate. Cellphones are not allowed but if she forget to leave it at home she can turn-off the cellphone before going inside the office.

Goodluck!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionevidence for lifting conditions

People,

all of you who are about to file the I-751 soon or in the future, here's some valuable advise to you. The main factor whether or not your petition to remove conditions will be approved or not, is whether or not you are still (happily) married to your USC spouse, and live together in the same household.

If you answer YES to this question, 100% of you will be approved.

All they want is that you send them SOMETHING that shows that this is the case. Don't send them a big file, send them a few meaningful documents that show the intermingling of finances and living. Make it easy for them to approve you; don't try to slow them down by drowning them in paperwork so that the I.O. in charge wants nothing more than putting YOUR file back to the bottom of the pile.

If I remember correctly, I sent a total of 17 or 18 pages, including the cover letter and copies of GC, and including 3 or 4 pages of 3 photos each. I didn't sent rent/mortgage/, bank statements, or affidavits at all.

ROC is not like AOS, although I can understand that it might be stressful for many.

If your marriage is real, you WILL be approved. I have NEVER heard of a case where a happily married couple is separated by the immigration people. If you don't have a rental contract, okay; if you don't have a joint bank account, that's okay too. Just send them what you have, and don't worry too much about being approved. You WILL be approved.


Thanks Bob! You make me feel at ease now. :thumbs:

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussioninterviewed and aproved
Hello guys! I just want to tell the good news to everybody tonight. We had our interview last Friday at 9:00 am. I gathered all the documents we needed to prove that our marriage is geniune and that we live in the same house all these years. i had also 5 or six photos with me but carry my usb card just in case the officer would want more photos from us. Finally we we're called and were asked to sworn that we can only answer the truth and nothing else. As soon as me and my husband were seated the immigration officer told us that as soon as he saw us he believe that he are still married and that he don't really need to question us anymore. He said that he's in an officer for quite a while and doing the same job all over again is an easy task for him to see whose marriage is falling apart or not. We told him about our experience during the first year of being together that my husband lost his job and it was a rough yr for both of us. The Officer was pleased to hear the story he said it only proves that for better of for worse, we will always be there for each other and he wish us luck.

Now I am just waiting for my 10 yr GC and he told me that I can apply for citizenship in yr 2011!

Yup tried the e-census but says:

Announcement:

e-Census interface with The PORT is undergoing changes and the payment facility will not be available starting, May 25, 2007. Nevertheless, payments over-the-counter at any Unionbank branch, for local requests, will still be accepted. Please wait for our future announcement. Thank you.

So I guess I have to request the doc thru a family member in the Phils.

yes you can. you should have plenty of time to go home and visit your family. you have six months to enter the USA once you been issued the K-1 Visa.
after going home, you'll need to attend CFO since you'll be departing the Philippines with a K-1 Visa. that's a requirement of the Philippine Govt.
best of luck. good.gif


WHAT IS CFO? WHY DO WE NEED TO ATTEND THAT SEMINAR?

My friend got her K1 visa in HK US Embassy and went backed to the Philippines to see her family before coming to the US and didn't take CFO....so far she's here already without any problem exiting from the Manila airport without attending the seminar.

Will the US Immigration allow me to do that? Can I go straight to the US without coming back here in Singapore or should I have to fly from Singapore to the US? Please I need your advise.

I'm helping a buddy with his K1 and he just got MNL# today. He got NOA2 Sept 19.
Actually our senators office got it for him.
He called senators office last week and an aide checked and called right back and said no record and to wait 7 days. Aide called back today and gave him the MNL number!

Don't know if it was a coincident or not but he'll be voting for the senator next time up.


Good timing for the senator! Thats good news. Just like when we didn't not have our NOA2 yet and we called the USCIS the next day we were approved right away so we don't know too if our call made it approved or just coincidence.

One thing you people that are not familiar with the filipino cultural is family is EVERYTHING.
Nothing like most Americans who care less about family and I/me are the only thing that matters.
Family comes first in the Philippines.

OP and MANY filipinos are pressured by their families to grab a puti [white] and get to a better country so they can help their families.
There is a fine line in FilAm relationships.
Most pinay help their families as much as they can but also are loving and devoted wifes.
I can't put any blame on the OP for trying to find someone she will end up having a better loving life with and will end up making her hubby and her family happier also.



Yes, I do understand 3. world motivation for betterment in life and how important family is and pure survival.
But an adult should place integrity and honesty over any family pressure. I am totally agreeing with you that if the OP is not in love with
her petitioner she should end the relationship. Involving two men at " at the same time " is what I am voicing my opinion about.
One at a time is all I am saying. End one relationship before having a " friend " she feels vibes with travel to her hometown to try him out while
the first guy is waiting in the trenches for her to decide ? As a mere backup ?
You don't have a problem with that ? Put yourself in the petitioners shoes for Pete's sake and tell me YOU would be ok with that.



good.gif good.gif good.gif


In the first place, in my opinion, she shouldn't motivate herself of falling in love with the other guy by talking to him everyday (?) and let him visit her because she's committed already with guy number 2.

Over-looking, I still wish you find peace in your mind and hopefully you will be able to come up with the right decision!

Hello Over-looking.

It seems that you are really into trouble! If you don't love the guy anymore, just follow what's in your heart rather than being sorry later when you are already in the US. I think its better for you to limit yourself for a while talking to some other men when you are into a serious relationship already? Give yourself a break and do some soul searching as what others have said! Good luck!!!!
