PhilippinesCFO before VISA arrives

You have 2 options:

 

~Take the seminar now, and just go back to CFO (with your passport) for the sticker. Downside to this is you have to go back there.

 

or

 

~Wait till you have your passport. Take the seminar. Get the certificate and sticker the same day and you never have to see the CFO building again.

 

I chose the 2nd one. The building is too far and I'm too lazy to go back again. Congrats on getting approved! biggrin.png 

Shes just gonna wait for it so she doesnt have to go back and forth. Thank you!

PhilippinesCFO before VISA arrives

Yes, your fiance can take the CFO seminar before the Visa arrives, but would have to go back after receiving the passport back from the USEM.  The CFO stamp/sticker has to be afixed to a page in the passport.

So i guess i do have to wait for the VISA because they took her passport at the embassy.

PhilippinesCFO before VISA arrives

Is it it possible to take this seminar before my fiance's VISA arrives? VISA has already been approved and were just waiting for the VISA to arrive.

PhilippinesCFO BRIBERY COMPLAIN

This is some  shady ######...So they ask for a bribe after the counseling is done? or if you refuse the bribe in the beginning their going to give you a hard time in the end? does anyone have a step by step guide for this CFO? I dont understand why they need all this paper work  everything is already done with the VISA...I thought the CFO is just teaching is about the culture in the U.S. and how to get help if you need it.

PhilippinesCan you pass a US citizenship test?? Try taking the test here.

I took my US citizenship test last year. There's an android app for US citizenship test. It will just keep asking you random questions from the test. This app really helped me out a lot.

Issued does not mean it has been printed or packaged for delivery... it is still at the embassy.

try the UID number

ok now im confused. I emailed the embassy and they said its still processing but how is it still processing when it says issued on the ceac status. Do they mean its processing in there mail room and it hasnt been sent out?

What was wrong as I recall is the medical file was not there for the interview, that can delay thing for WEEKS.   You are just going to have to be patient.

But when they receive it, they do just put it on the side? because they received it probably a day after interview. I wish they were someone here with an insight in the US embassy. It would be good to know why things get delayed and what to expect. In my case, its not so bad but I can imagine some of the cases being a lot worse.

Its been three weeks since the interview and its been a week since the status changed to ready...why is this taking so long? Our whole k1 visa was approved in 2 in a half months...it been three weeks since the interview and her VISA still hasnt been issued. Is something wrong?


jabadillaNot TellingPhilippines2014-04-07 03:26:00
PhilippinesPost interview

There was a question in another thread about whether USEM would refuse to interview with incomplete medical or just issue 221(g).  Seems the latter is the case.

 

I am glad yours is moving along.

 

But her situation might be different because i dont know what you mean by incomplete. Her medical was complete with her vaccinations but just her paper work hasnt transferred to the embassy.

jabadillaNot TellingPhilippines2014-03-31 09:44:00

You just need to be patient, now that they have the medical file that will have to be reviewed, then the complete file will be reviewed and usually after that, if there are no problems, status will go to issued.

 

Are you tracking process on the CEAC site?

Yea its on AP and it hasnt been updated since 3/24

My fiance had her interview on the 18th and she was approved. They only thing missing was her medical paper work from St. Lukes. We got this interview date last minute so we had to rush her medical and her paper work did not arrive before her interview. After she was approved for the VISA I emailed the embassy a couple days later about her medical and they said they have received the medical. Her status was updated everyday till the 24th. That was last time they touched it and its stuck on AP. Whats going on with this? And I have recently e mailed them about this.

It might be different but For k1 VISA they ask for birth certificate if u were a born in American or Citizenship Certificate if you were naturalized.

PhilippinesMedical to interview

Based on the K1 Instruction sent to the applicants by the embassy, medical must be taken at least a week, but if it were me, I'd schedue it 2-3 weeks ahead of time just to be on the safe side. 

 

MEDICAL EXAMINATION. All K1 and K2 visa applicants must complete a medical examination at St. Luke?s Medical Center Extension Clinic (SLMCEC) at least a week before the interview appointment. Prior to their visit, applicants are also encouraged to register online with SLMCEC at their website: www.slec.ph. Registering online will save processing time and make the visit to SLMCEC faster and more efficient.

Philippinesdecree of anullment & court order for full custody comes out in a thin paper & no certified true xerox copy

kailangan pa bang iparegistered yung decree sa NSO??????? kahit my MC annonated na ako.......

 

Is the annotated MC already certified by NSO or is that from the local civil registry?

 

If it is NSO certified, then I believe there's no need to have the decree registered at NSO.

HELLO VJ MEMBERS! SPECIALLY   FOR THOSE WHO WERE ANNULLED.( PINAYS)

 

I GOT MY  DECREE OF ANULLMENT SINCE LAST YEAR IT WAS COME OUT WITH A THIN PAPER( COURT PAPER) TOGETHER WITH THE COURT ORDER FOR FULL CUSTODY OF MY CHILDREN.

  DO I NEED TO GET A CERTIFIED  TRUE XEROX COPIES OF BOTH?

 I NOTICED THAT MY FINALITY & DECISION  THAT MY LAWYER GIVEN TO ME  ARE COME OUT WITH CERTIFIED TRUE XEROX COPIES except sa decree & court order for custody

 

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

 

You can get certified xerox copies of the Decree and court order along with the Finality and Decision at the RTC who handled your case.

 

To add to this question, guys:

 

Do we need a CENOMAR submitted on the interview? Or NSO copy of annotated marriage certificate will do?
