PhilippinesPassport Renewal

My passport will expire in 8 months, do I need to wait for it to expire before I can get a new one ? or can I renew it a few months before it expires ? if so how long ?

I highly suggest you have it renewed there in the Philippines. Easier, affordable and faster. You don't have to wait for your passport to expire. You can get it as early as now. It's such a hassle to renew it in the States and it will take them a month or so if you have it done here.

My son and I went for our medical last Monday, May 18th of 2009. We got to SLEC quarter to 6AM and the guards were letting people in already. I showed the following documents to the guard:
2 photocopies of the Letter I got from USEM MNL stating eligibilty for Medical & Interview (with the MNL case number)
My son's passport and mine.
Then from there, the guard will give you PDS forms to be filled out, including DS156K form 'for their file'. Plus a number will be handed out to each applicant. Please make sure to have these info ready:
MNL Case Number
Passport Number
Your Fiance's Address & contact number in the U.S.A.
Name, address & contact number of your Fiance's relative in the U.S.A.
(For annuled women like me)
Date & Place of Marriage
How & When was Marriage terminated
Our numbers then were called. They had to take a photo of each applicant. And then, fall in line at the Reception area for encoding of data and submission of PDS Forms. They asked for (2) 2X2 photos from my son and (1) from me. Please make sure to write your full name at the back of each photo.
Then, we were told to proceed to the 5th Floor to pay the medical fees at the Cashier.
Adult - P10,454.15
Child - P9,082.15 (14 years of age and below)
(It would be nice if you had the exact amount ready)
Then on the same floor, our vital signs,height & weight & eye test were taken.
Then we were told to go to the 2nd floor for Immunization Interview and Tuberculin test for your child.
I brought along my sons baby book. Please also know the license number of your pediatrician.
I was told that I was getting 3 shots. It would've been only 2 but I had no chicken pox marks to show them.
My son also gets 3 shots. We were told to come back 2 days after to find out the Tuberculin test of my son.
If you have your baby book, you will be asked to bring two photocopies of your baby's immunization record.
Then I was told to get my X-Ray on the 3rd floor wherein you have to squeeze in with other women in a small dressing room.
In here, you need to take off only your top including your bra and wear their robe. No dangling earrings and for long hair, you will be asked to tie them up. Children will not go through X-Ray unless their Tuberculin Test is positive.
Then off we go to the 4th floor. Your blood will be extracted for HIV test and Urine for Pregnancy Test. Again, your child will not go through this.
Last but not the least... US Counter, 5th floor. Here, my son went first because I had to be in the cubicle with him. The male doctor asked a few questions and told my son to disrobe.
Then it was my turn, the lady doctor will ask you questions then tell you to disrobe. They check your arms for needle marks (drug use) and slashes (if you have suicidal tendencies).
Then the lady at the US counter will give you back your passports and receipts. These will be shown to the guard when you return. We were out of there by 12noon.

DAY 2 - May 20, 2009
We were told to be there at 9AM. Showed our passports & receipts to the guard. We went straight to 2nd floor to have my son's Tuberculin test read. I was so relieved when the doctor said the test were negative. FYI - You would know if your child is positive if the injected part swells. I asked the doctor of course,because I was curious.
Then my name was called at that same floor and asked to proceed at the check out counter and I was asked to give them (2) 2x2 Passport size photos. Again, please make sure to jot down your full name at the back of each photo.
Again, my name was called to proceed to the Immunization Room (same floor). Had my 3 shots which was surprisingly not bad.
The lady nurse was good. I even requested if she could do the shots for my son later. After awhile my name was called to proceed at a certain counter, Ground floor (Releasing Area). I was asked if I had with me a photocopy of my annulment papers. Both Certificate of Finality and the Decision papers. Of course, I did not have it because I never came across a post that mentioned anything about bringing them with you. Anyways, the guy at the counter asked me if I was the petitioner and who was found psychologically incapacitated? I said, I was the petitioner and the respondent (your ex-husband) was found psychologically incapacitated. Then he said, In that case, You won't be needing to undergo psychological evaluation. I was given back my passport and receipt and told to come back the next day and bring the photocopy of the finality and decision. This is where I decided to write this post. To save you guys another trip of going to SLEC. Then finally my son's name was called at the check out counter (2nd floor) and we had to give them (2) 2x2 photos. Then wait for his name to be called in the Immunization room. Fortunately enough, the same lady nurse had my son's record so she did my son's shots. After your immunizations, you will be told to go down to the Ground floor for Releasing. Now THIS part is the long wait. It was around 345pm when I decided to ask if we could just go back tomorrow for my son's releasing paper since I had to go back anyways to bring in my annulment papers. And they said, it was ok.

Day3 - May 21, 2009
The guy told us to come back at 9AM and we did. Showed passport and receipt to the guard. Submitted my papers directly to the guy that told me to come back. Told us to take a seat and wait for our names to be called. I saw him reading my papers while he was on the phone. At this moment, I was getting nervous. Then he placed the phone down and seemed like everything was okay. He just needed to see that I was indeed the petitioner and that the respondent was the one who was found psychologically incapacitated. My son's name was called and then soon after, I heard my name. We were given our personal copy of Immunization Records and I was given a CD containing my X-RAY result. SLEC will be the one to forward your passport/s to the USEM. My son and I were so happy we were done and out in an hour.

TIPS:
Food is not allowed but people were able to sneak in crackers and chips. Just make sure the guard does not see it upon entering.
We also brought with us 2 small bottles of water. This, you can bring in. There are also water fountains stationed on each floor, if I'm not mistaken.
Print and bring with you a copy of the map of SLEC.
LADIES - know the date of your first and last day of menstruation. This would be asked on the form and personally by the nurse and doctor. And wear comfortable clothes for the wait and clothes that would be easy for you to disrobe.
TO MOTHER'S - There are no Tuberculin test on a Thursday. So make sure you go on other days. Results will take 2 days.
There will be times that you will be told to have your lunch first or just come back because it will take 2 hours for them to type up the result or the room is full and some nurses took their break so we suggest you take yours too. Well, we didn't move an inch. And our names were called short after.
If you can bring extra copies with you like extra passport size photos and an extra copy of the letter from the USEM, why not.
Lastly to those women who were annulled but are not the petitioner and you were the one who was found psychologically incapacitated... According to SLEC : MNL USEM requires you to undergo Psychological evaluation. I inquired more about this and this was what the nurse told me at the Releasing counter. You will be asked to call and book for an appointment. He was not certain of the fee but the nurse said around P2,000 or less. And then, results will take 4-5 days.
I know this is such a long post but if i could save you another trip of going to SLEC, well and good.
Good luck to everyone!



thanks a lot for your post. great help for me on my medical next week. i will surely bring copies of my annulment papers. thanks again and God bless!

PhilippinesTips on Reporting Marriage & Renewing Passport at the same time in the US
After having read a lot of reviews (more of complaints, actually) regarding dealing with the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles, I pretty much thought we came prepared. Yesterday, we went to the Philippine Consulate in LA and arrived at 11 am. We parked behind the building across the street and we paid $14 when we got done at 3:00 pm. We went inside and got in the elevator. The Consulate is located at the 5th Floor. Just down the hallway, we had our Philippine Passport Size photos taken and we also had another different set of photos taken for the Report of Marriage. The photos came out pretty fast. We now headed down the hallway with everything in hand.
As you enter the Consulate, you have to show your papers to the person sitted behind the desk beside the entance door.If everything is in order, then you will be given a number.
You would have to do the Report of Marriage FIRST. Give all the necessary papers to the Civil Registry booth and then if everything's okay, you need to go to the Cashiers booth to pay $31. Then go back to the Civil Registry and show him the receipt. He will then give you a set of papers that you need to hand over when your number is called to Renew your passport.
4 hours later our numbers were called. My son first then myself. Just hand over the requirements and also the set of papers that the Civil Registry gave you so that your new passport will reflect your new married name. Sign and do the thumb printing. Now, you have to go and pay the fee to the Cashier. It's $50 plus $6 for priority mail. Because I definitely, do not want to go back there anymore and pick it up. Your choice though. You can pick it up or have your passport mailed to you. We were out of there 15-20 minutes from the time our numbers were called.

TIPS:

1) Try NOT TO GO on a Monday. There were a LOT of people yesterday. They said Wednesdays & Thursday are really quiet. Be there as soon as they open.
2) Park behind at their own buliding lot. You can have your parking ticket validated at the Releasing counter of the Philippine Consulate and ONLY pay $3 even if you're parked the whole day. NEVER park in front. Yes, it is metered parking but I heard a lot gets towed at the strike of 4 pm.
3) For Report of Marriage - Make 5 (FIVE) photo copies of Marriage Contract, 5 (FIVE) photo copies of bride & grooms Birth Certificate and passport data page.
I only made 4 photo copies because that's what I read on their website. The extra copy was the "set of papers" that the Civil Registry gave me to be handed to the person in charge for renewing your passport.Not to worry, down the hall where I got my pictures taken, he has a photo copier as well so, everything is pretty much there on the 5th floor ( except for snacks!). The rest of the requirements you can get at their website. Just take not of the revisions I just mentioned.
4) Get your number first and THEN have your photos taken.
4) Have your photos taken there, It's $7 for 4 Philippine Passport Size photos and $2 -3 for 2 photos with white background for the Report of Marriage. (You'll be needing 4 photos for each groom & bride) and 25 cents for 1 photo copy. Make sure you go to the right one because there is another photo shop on the 5th floor that charges more. The cheap photo shop office is located on the same side of the Mens comfort room. Sorry, I forget to get the room number.
A lot of Filipinos complained because the Consulate were very strict with the photo requirement. They had theirs done at Walgreens, CVS, Costco and other professional photo shops only to be rejected. Money down the drain. So save yourself the hassle and money and just have your picture taken there. It's real quick. Less than 5 minutes and it's done. Make sure you wear a top with a collar. Bangs away from your face and ears showing.
5) The Consulate observes Lunch Break from 12-1 pm. You can wait inside while they take their lunch. There a seats inside.
6) Bring some snack & drinks but be discrete about it. Supposedly it's not allowed but some still brought stuff in because no one is there to check, most specially during lunch break. There is also a kiosk on the 1st floor where you can buy drinks & snacks.
7) Bring whatever to pass the time away. Electronics are allowed.
8) If you ARE still in the Phillipines, it is MUCH, MUCH better to renew your passport there.
9) Other Philippine Consulates in the US have different requirements. This post is intended only for those who are doing their Report of Marriage AND Renewal of Passport in Los Angeles.
I hope this helps!

CHEERS!!!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemove Conditional Permanent Residency
We have not done this yet, so I am only speaking about what I have read here.

But, I believe that this is part of the NOA1, so you should receive it one they accept your application.

btw, there is a removing conditions forum on this site. Perhaps EWOK will move it for you.

Hi All,

I hope someone can answer my question here. I recently mailed in my completed I-751 form, along with a bunch of supporting documentation to lift the Conditional Permanent Residency on my Greencard status. Here is my question, I am supposed to file with in 90 days of expiration, which I have 60 days from. I was looking on the net for information about the process. This website (Click Here) talks about a lot of info, the one thing that I need clarification on is point #8, where it says.... "When the USCIS accepts your I-751 petition for permanent residence, they will send a filing receipt for an I-797C Notice of Action". Now, does this mean that USCIS sends this I-797C notifying me that they have received my application, and that its waiting for approval or do I get this one the application is approved itself. I need this form as I will be traveling very close to expiration date of my current greencard.

Please help, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Charlie



not really sure your in the right forum, but usually the I797c from the I751 will include a one year extension to your card.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionOh God! Please Help!
I would file the I 751 with the evidence you have and at lease get the ball rolling.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionnew filing fees are crazy

I paid $935 for my current immigration applications. Come the end of the month, the same applications will cost $2010.

That is absolutely absurd.


It would not of cost you $2010.

You have to read the print.

Like Pandawars, I just checked the USCIS website and my biometrics letter was mailed on 23rd. :dance:

We are taking a trip to visit family in SLC in early February, so if my date clashes with that then I might see if we can get away with an early biometrics walk-in. If it doesn't then I will just go on my scheduled date.

My co-worker did her Citizenship last year, but she was in the Army reserves. So she got a personal email from an IO when they got her paperwork and was told to email them any time if there were any issues and that she could go in at any time for her biometrics. So she got to walk in and was taken care of immediately. She got her citizenship approved within less than 2 months as well. :thumbs:

I'm using a stateside bank account for the check, so that can't be the problem.

Great idea checking with previous filers, thank you! Maybe somebody was in the same boat there :yes:


Another idea I had was to make a new thread in this forum and ask for advice from anyone who has or is currently Naturalizing from overseas. It might be a nice resource for people who are doing the same as you.

Hope that your check gets cashed soon! I would imagine if there was a problem with your fingerprints they would just send you for another biometrics appointment to try again and like notscenenough said, they would still go ahead and take your money regardless.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 JANUARY 2012 FILERS

Guys? :unsure: :unsure:


Ruffie, have you tried checking around in the other monthly filers threads and seeing what other peoples timelines are like who are filing overseas? Maybe it just takes longer at Nebraska for some reason. Try checking Dec 2011, Nov 2011, etc. That may give you a better idea of the time frame to expect.

Got my NOA today with a Notice Date of 1/11/12 and a Priority Date of 1/9/12. It says, "Upon receipt of all required Record Checks, you will be scheduled to appear for an interview at your local USCIS field office." No mention of biometrics; does that come in a separate notice?


Looks like today is THE day for NOAs as I also received mine today too. Updated the list.

DAndy, I didn't get a biometrics appointment, either. But I haven't done biometrics recently as I did ROC biometrics for my GC about three years ago, I think. My letter said exactly the same as yours. *shrug* I'm guessing we'll get separate biometric letters at some point. But still, it's progress and I'll take it!

Hmm. Well I have good news. But can't update my timeline yet.

Last night I got a text & email confirming receipt of my application. But they have not cashed my check yet. I guess it will happen at some point today or Monday. :) I guess that Dandy127's paperwork is in batch before me? Still nice for us to be running a similar timeline! I will check my account later and update if it gets cashed.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 JANUARY 2012 FILERS

hey, are you guys studying for the interview yet?

I've always been a bad student when it comes to long-term memorizing things. I'd sit down the night before a test and study all night, the next morning go to school and ace the test and a week later wouldn't remember any of the stuff, lol...

So honestly, I don't know if it even makes sense for me to start memorizing the questions now :blink:

And also - what state do I memorize the state specific questions for? The last state we lived in?

I was somewhat similar. I knew the basics, but would fill in the details by cramming the week before. I haven't really studied much. I did have a US Citizenship questions app on my phone a while ago before I had to reformat, so I will probably look for that again on the Android Market. It seems fairly straight forward (to me as a native English speaker). I just need to memorize a few numbers and a list of states for original colonies, etc. I will probably approach that closer to the interview date and I'm certainly not going to worry about it before I do biometrics.

I'm really not sure what state you would us. Do you still file taxes in a specific state or anything like that? If so I would assume that's the state you would use. But that is purely a guess. I could be totally wrong there. Maybe make a thread to ask the question to the rest of the N-400 forum? I'm sure there's someone in, or who has recently been in your position.

What do you guy think: with 2012 being a year of presidential election, will uscis approve n400 faster or it will take them more than ever to do it?

I'm not sure. I don't think that it probably will affect the speed. I don't think it's the same as 2008. In 2008 it was a special case because it was a completely new candidate from both sides running and a lot of immigrants felt more motivated to vote for the candidate of their choosing. This year we know who the Democrats candidate is obviously, I just can't see there being as much of a rush for Citizenship for the purpose of voting for President this election year. I could be wrong, though!

Hello again. To those whose status actually came up in the dept. of state website, how soon after it changes to final processing do they mail the passport? Thanks.


I checked last night and my status said they were processing my application. Have not worried about checking it today because it was waiting for me when I got home. :)

Got my new greencard in the mail today. Yay!!! kicking.gif


Yay! Lily, I just caught this post now. Congratulations, I'm so pleased for you and Jim! smile.gif As you can see, Mark and I moved to Southern California last year for his job. Lovely weather down here. But I do admit I miss how beautiful the mountains are in Salt Lake. Our dog certainly appreciates no longer having to go for walks out in the dark and snow though laughing.gif.
