PhilippinesVaccinations

Hi all,

I looked at the list of required vaccinations and my wife doesnt have alot of them. will she need to get them before she will need to go to the medical or will they administer it there?

Thanks!


St. Luke's will be assessing her vaccination records and decide from there which ones she need. A few of the vaccinations listed are age-dependent. You don't have to worry about the costs since it is included in the P15,050 medical fee. If she would be needing follow-up shots or boosters (some vaccines need more than one), they would just inform you to get those once she is in the US.

Usually, the delays from the medical involve infectious diseases like pulmonary tuberculosis (have to undergo treatment before being cleared). No need to worry about the vaccines.

Good luck! :thumbs:

Philippinesembassy to 2go
this is likewise my problem and would like to know too. i'm also from pampanga. :thumbs: can't track my case too in the website :help:

looks like if they would still send it out to 2GO, it might take them until tuesday to do so since it's a non working day on Monday. heard it might take 3-5 days in average. 10 days at worst (for those in remote areas).

I would like to think 3 because that's favorable for both of us :yes:

Nookie Alert!


Really? A rather rude assumption.

Thanks again everyone, we are still getting used to the fact that we don't need to log into skype to talk :thumbs:

Been trying to straighten out an issue with a UPS parcel we shipped to the states. The clerk in the Philippines branch filled out the wrong form, and had it arriving as a commercial package. We were asked to pay a $584 fee to pick it up (on top of the $200+ fee to ship it)!

Found out there is an Immigrant Non-taxable shipment option via UPS. I'd suggest this method to anyone who would like to send clothes, books, etc to themselves. Although at this point, I would use Fedex.. haha very fed up with UPS :angry:

Here is what we have been dealing with. Phone calls all day with them!

PhilippinesCFO Seminar Review/Feedback

Sorry about the bad experience with the CFO Seminar. At least you got your Certificate and Sticker now.

I, on the other hand, had a wonderful experience at CFO because I was the only one going to the US so there's not much people there. They did not make me watch the horrible video and sit for an hour to listen to the lectures. Instead, I sat with the councilor and chit chatted for almost an hour talking about my love life and just question and answer (I was the one who did all the talking and questioning). No Metrobank/Landbank business talk either! It seemed like a girl talk all the way and she even recommended I join Visajourney. I thought it was funny! The people at the reception even wished me good luck and waved when I got out. When I walked out of the building I was smiling coz I didn't expect it to be a fun experience. You are right about the overpriced photocopy but it's expected. So it's advisable to go there not on a busy day. By the way, I went to Good Shepherd Convent at 1PM on a Tuesday.

Have a nice flight! :)


Yes, I didn't expect it to be like that since I read the same experience from those who attended PRISM but not St. Mary's.

In my batch, we were around 20 people with various destinations (some to Germany, US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia).

I really wasn't expecting the suggestions they gave. It sounded a bit one-sided or opinionated.

Anyhow, it is still an experience. At least, one major chunk in the to-do list is crossed out! Flying in 3 days! Woot! Thank you very much! :D

PhilippinesCFO Seminar Review/Feedback

because they have their own xerox and copy machine inside their office which is kinda over priced>dont you think?make more money for that isnt it?????


True that. It is pretty overpriced for a bad photocopy. I asked (she looked surprised that I asked) how much it costs each. It's Php 3.50/page (compared to Php 1.00 to Php 2.00 outside). You can't bring any form outside of the compound. Good luck with that! I asked for a receipt though. Hahahaha.

thanks for the review! for me, CFO is one last rip-off from our beloved corrupt system before you leave the country. grrrr


It is and it will continue to be so unless they work on the program. I understand the "cause" -- to address the rise of domestically abused Filipinas abroad. However, it's pretty obvious that the program is very premature. The counselors are not well equipped. They look like they (like us) just need to do it and they're just given 4 hours. Do you know the feeling of watching an unprepared classmate present a report in front of class? That's how it feels.

In fact, not all Filipinas married to foreigners experience this BUT we do encounter problems in our adjustment in life there. Abuse is just a possible risk amongst the many others.

Right now, it's a complete waste of both money and time. You won't think of it too much while sitting there because you have your eyes on a goal: GET THOSE CERTIFICATES and STICKER!

PhilippinesCFO Seminar Review/Feedback
(Deren here)

And I'd like to add to what Yamy posted here about the material covered in this required seminar. Not only do they provide ZERO helpfull information, but they also are insulting the petitioner at the same time. Most cases are real, loving, open relationships that will continue on to be life-long partnerships. It hurts me so much that my wife-to-be had to sit through a sesion of horror stories just so this office can scare a few extra people into signing up for their banking services.

...the comment about "if it doesn't work out in 90 days, just marry someone else." I just about died... I'm assuming these seminars are required because marriage is so sacred and serious (they want you to be absolutely certain about your decision) in the Philippines, and yet they encourage you to just "find someone else" if things go sour. Not only would that be fraudulent, but it's completely unmoral.

blah..

PhilippinesCFO Seminar Review/Feedback
Hello, everyone! So, I just attended my seminar today (11AM) in the Good Shepherd Convent since I read bad reviews with PRISM (additional P150.00 handouts which is unnecessary cost).

They gave a feedback form but I wasn't able to drop it into the box.

Here's what I think about the experience (registrant with VISA in hand):

LOCATION: If you are going to use the LRT Line 2, it's pretty convenient. It's literally right next to the Katipunan Station (from Recto, Santolan bound). CFO satellite office is right in the same compound as St. Mary's.

It's pretty humid in the waiting areas and the canteen with a few of the fans working. Only one in the Guidance & Counseling waiting room. The canteen is like a random space that they decided to turn into a canteen. Not much food to see or expect here. The fans are turned off too unless you ask the lady to turn it on. TIP: Bring your food and drinks. I had no choice because I was hungry and was moved to the 11AM session since I was late for the 8:30am session.

The seminar room is air-conditioned and is in the 2nd floor.

REGISTRATION: Staff is fair to okay. Not really the welcoming hotel receptionist type. I was a bit annoyed when she asked for 3 photocopies of my passport and my visa when their website didn't state that as far as I remember. She will give you a form to fill-up which is pretty much the same as the one from CFO's website. They will take a digital picture of you and receive your seminar payment of Php 250.

CONTENT: I'm very much disappointed with this. 4 hours of rambling and beating around the bush about domestic abuse. In my opinion, the seminar is not well structured, biased and pretty subjective.

1st part, there was this representative from Metrobank promoting opening a Savings Account and an OFW Remittance account. When I asked her 3 simple yet important questions, she can't answer it. She keeps on describing the accounts but when I asked the crucial questions that everyone cares about, she can't answer it. The questions involved: available bank affiliates in the countries we're going, bank transfer charge (to compare with other wire transfer services like Moneygram or Xoom), how fast the money will be received.

Short briefing of St. Mary's history as an NGO and being an affiliate of the government goes here...Why the seminar was mandated by the government...

2nd, they required us to introduce ourselves to the group. I'm a bit off with the idea since in my head, you (other participants) don't need to know stuff about me and my partner in a way that it is a requirement. I'll tell you if I want to tell you. But for a format to be followed...BLEH. (Name, age, country of destination, optional background story) In my opinion, where is confidentiality. I'd prefer to have these facts asked privately.

3rd, we were shown a video clip of Magandang Gabi Bayan, an old show of Noli de Castro from more than a decade ago? It featured 3 cases of domestic abuse in different forms (physical, emotional, financial/mental) by foreign spouses of Filipinas. The title of the episode is "Karanasan/Kapalaran ng Pilipina sa Dayuhan" (Experience of Filipinas with Foreigners). Can't find it online though.

We were asked about our individual reactions. I expressed mine which is in sense goes like this, "The key is, regardless of being married or not to a Filipino or a foreigner, you have to be vigilant, self-reliant and ready with a contingency plan for the worst scenario. The scenarios presented to us are not limited to foreigners alone, even Filipinos hurt their wives. No one have a good grasp of what's going on another person's mind may they be spouse, friend, sibling or stranger. So, it's important to be prepared for the worst and save some for yourself."

The seminar was more or less 3-4 hours of unstructured rambling and prejudiced opinions and uneducated suggestions (marry someone else if it doesn't work within 90 days...I can't believe they even suggest that. I was expecting "go home to your family and be banned from a K1 visa. 1st, the K1 visa has your fiance's name on it. It's also pretty insulting to say it won't work or your relationship with your lover will fail and is not genuine.")

4th, we were given forms. Asked to go downstairs for the individual interview. Pretty basic questions. I was delayed with the requirement of a "landline". Okay, it might be for record checking but in this time, everybody else is going wireless and for them to require a landline number is absurd.

5th, releasing of Guidance & Counseling Certificate. Annoyed me more when they require you to pay Php 14.00 for the photocopy of documents they would keep/forward to CFO Paco. We paid almost Php 700 and you can't cover that for a copy of our papers? What about the "centralized system" they boasted about during the seminar which reaches until foreign countries? Can't they input that there?

6th, proceed to CFO satellite office "at the back of their building". I was expecting a more decent space. It was like an old stock room / random poorly maintained public bathroom from the outside with little signage of CFO-this-way-->

Small lounge after a small hallway to the tiny office. Processing is fast here anyway. You need to pay the Php400 here. They will staple the CFO certificate to your passport, check the CFO form (from online or filled-up from St. Mary's if you don't have it), put the sticker on a passport page.

Then, I went home at around 2:30pm to 2:45pm.

Over all, I think they should work on a much structured module for this seminar to include a crash course of starting life in another country (finding jobs, intercultural relations, support system, communication methods, currency/saving & spending in a foreign currency, education, relationship matters, etc.) I think the domestic abuse subject should just be a part of it instead of being the WHOLE thing.

I also suggest doing the CFO and Seminar after receiving the visa to save you from the hassle of traveling back there for your sticker.

That's all I can say for now.

Well you need to do at least two of the 3 that are listed on the I-134. Providing bank information would put the icing on the cake if you are already above the poverty line. Just provide as much information as possible and you should be fine.

Good luck.

P.S. I hope I pass my 1-134 too, it can be a tricky thing especially when you're in college!

Incorrect. You do not need to send anything else if you are over the 125% of poverty line. Relax and Good Luck

The I-134 form and its supporting documents are needed at the interview not when you file the I-129F and it has to be the original notarized not copy. So i suggest you have another one filled out notarized with its supporting documents and send it to your fiance. The one you sent with the I-129F might not work because its has likely been months since you filed the I-129F but this is my suggestion. So if i am wrong please somebody correct me. Goodluck to you and I hope this helps.



Can you not make 3 copies and have each one notarized all at the same time?

Well my parents are now starting to show interest in co-signing to help me out. Only problem is they are both now retired and my Father just retired today.

How does it work for retired persons?

Thanks

I am also retired. A retired person can show a statement from Social security - if that's the source of their retirement or as in my case - a private retirement institute - I tell them to send me a letter of verification of income and that's what they give me. It shows how much money every month I will receive and for how long (my case it is life time). I would then attach my tax return or returns (if they want three years returns for example). In case, they have their own personal retirement - then they can show statements of their funds from the annuity company; stock brokers/mutual funds people. Good Luck


Thanks motu

Dearest Everyone,

Maybe you were thinking why the title of my topic is "Uncommon Situation". Me and my Hubby are really worried about our uniqueness. We're not sure if our uniqueness will be an advantage or disadvantage for us. My Hubby is an adoptee. I haven't heard or read anything about an adoptee here filing for Petition for foreign fiancee or fiance. I think we're just f*cking up the system of USCIS because of our uncommon case..LOL We're really worried that maybe they will ask for documents about his adoption. Would it be possible? Anyways, if there's someone out there whose experiencing the thing as we are, you're not alone.

thanks everyone for taking time....Godspeed!



Anything is possible and they could ask for documents about his adoption if they see a need for it. I would keep it on hand just in case they send you an RFE for that however it is very unlikely.

Don't worry, your case is not that much different than anyone else's.

No, a tax return is what you file to tell the IRS how much you own them or how much they owe you. A complete return includes at least a 1040 or 1040EZ and any w2's or 1099's you may have received.

My tax return includes about 20 pages. Some are much thicker. Many are just two pages and a W2 form.

That's why we recommend and they prefer IRS Transcripts of the returns.


Thanks for the clarification.

NVC operators don't know what day your case was shipped. They know what day it was approved to go to the mail room for shipping. Tracking is a nice game to play while you're waiting but calling the DOS visa info line is the best way to keep track of your case progress after it leaves NVC. Somebody in the appropriate regional forum can probably tell you how long it takes from NVC to your Consulate to log the case in as received. Some are days. Some are weeks. Some are a two or three months.

Someone just PM'd me and told me the visa could be rejected for this and that my bank sucks...thanks for the encouragement. good.gif


Don't always believe what you get via PM's. I submitted no asset information and was not refused.


They probably want to see your account information since you fall short. For the Co/sponsor it wouldn't matter if they already meet the Poverty guidelines.
