Philippinestourist visa information to united states from philippines
I think it would be a point coz the consul will see that you have the means to travel anywhere. you have to establish strong ties to the Philippines tho like having a permanent job, substantial bank accounts and other assets. basically the consul has to determine that you will have reasons enough to go back to the Philippines. I know some people tho who got tourist visas without the consul asking for bank accounts and assets. Good luck!

PhilippinesEMBASSY SENT US A LETTER

Philippinesplane tickets

where would she have to pay the travel tax? will she be able to pay when she checks in at the (JAL)counter?


There's a Phil. Tourism Authority counter near the exit door. She will be ask to pay after checking in at the JAL counter coz they will not release the boarding pass to her until she pays it. They will check if travel tax is included or not on her e-ticket before letting her pay anyway.
SunShineFLFemalePhilippines2010-01-03 18:30:00
Philippinesplane tickets

So in my situation.Expedia says there will be no problems.should i just go with that? i dont know what to do? it will be a long process to try and get a refund and purchase the tickets again.



yes, all she needs is the e-ticket, visa, passport, CFO sticker and the packet from the USEm. She needs to pay 1,620 php travel tax if it's not included in the ticket and 750 php terminal fee. She'll be fine. Happy new year too!

Philippinesplane tickets

Hello i have searched the topics and could not find a correct answer. i purchased a oneway ticket for my fiancee and her daughter from manila to dallas.the problem is the subject of purchasing the tickets for her state side. some say she has to purchase it in the philippines some say it dont matter. expedia.com has told me that there should be no problem.(JAL) so i have called (JAL) and they have told me that they would make a exception for travelers leaving philippines to permanently reside in the united states? does the K-1 fall into this? the information i have found so far is that if it is a visitors visa you have to have a round trip ticket to board the flight. has anybody purchased plane tickets online in the united states and sent the e-ticket to there fiancee have any problems with her boarding the flight? (JAL) i cant get any correct information on this. my fiancee leaves manila on the 16jan.so i need help with this ASAP. thank you for your help


Tho K1 is a non-immigrant visa, it is process as immigrant visa coz of the intent to stay in the United States after marrying the petitioner. You'll be fine with one way ticket. I too flew JAL from manila to japan with one way ticket. and yes it was purchased online.

Safe trip!

you can call the embassy and inquire about your visa or better yet let your fiance do the calling to get a better answer from them. in the mean time, enjoy your days with your family and friends there and when you least expect it your visa packet will be in your doorstep.

PhilippinesFiancee interview today at 7am and worried no repsonse from her
If she left her cellphone at home and lives quite a distance from the embassy, it will take some time for her to call you. electronic gadgets are not allowed inside the embassy. Have faith.. she'll call you soon with the approval you'll see. let me be the first to congratulate you guys. CONGRATS!!!

There you go! congratulations again! :dance:

talk to the girl and tell her that you're not comfortable with her calling your husband in the wee hours and that you would appreciate it if she would find someone other than your husband to drive her to anywhere she wants to go. seek counseling before its too late. be strong..

Nope. That's for extension of validity. See my machine readable passport (MRP) is valid up to 2013. I just wanna amend it. Thanks for all the help. I hope someone here can post a link to that darn (sorry) form.

PhilippinesAmendment of Passport in Washington DC
Thank you for your reply but if you had read what I wrote, I did my ROMCA (Report of Marriage Contracted Abroad)already and I don't want to apply for a e-passport yet. I just want to amend my passport so I won't have any hassle on buying plane tickets using my married name. I've gone through all the consular forms on their website and I remember they used to have that specific form for amendment of passport but its no longer there.
Thank you again. I appreciate your effort :)
SunShineFLFemalePhilippines2010-07-09 14:43:00
PhilippinesAmendment of Passport in Washington DC
Has anybody here recently amended their passport at the Phil. embassy in Washington DC? I can't find the link to download the appropriate application form on the embassy's website and so I wonder if they're still accepting applications. I called and called the embassy in Washington DC but have no success talking to a live person. I have a MRP that is valid until 2013 and I have done my ROMCA but didn't deemed it important to amend my passport that time. If anybody can post the link for the application form for amendment of passport in Washington DC, I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks!

PhilippinesVisa approved. Is it safe to buy tickets?
yeah it really pissed her! she was cursing the person who spelled her name on her visa.
SunShineFLFemalePhilippines2010-07-09 15:46:00
PhilippinesVisa approved. Is it safe to buy tickets?
I'd wait till the visa is in her hands. The girl that I met during my interview got her visa after 5 days but the embassy spelled her name incorrectly. She had to go back and get it corrected, had to wait for 2 weeks to get her passport back and ended up having her ticket re-booked.

PhilippinesRemittances/financial support: is it really needed?
for K1, it's not a requirement to show proof of remittances. i was never asked by the pre-screener nor the consul for it. I didn't have any to show anyway. so don't worry if you have none to show.

PhilippinesPhilippines CFO forms
That's just the way it is with CFO in Manila. I remember when I had to go through their seminar, I was glad that I know my mother-in-law's maiden name.
Some of the girls there have to call their fiances/husbands right there and then so they can get that certificate.
And it was like 2-3am here in the states! I didn't like that CFO's seminar really. The videos are outdated!

You can have your photo requirement done at Walgreens and the standard 2x2 would be fine for your ROM.
