US Embassy and Consulate Discussion2nd attempt for pink slip
QUOTE (J & Q @ Jun 1 2008, 11:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Well, my fiancée is on her way back to the consulate in HCM to present the additional information as indicated on the blue slip. I hope that this information will satisfy their needs and we will have our pink slip. We are both very nervous of the unknown and hope and pray that all goes well. If she does get her pink slip, I will be purchasing airline tickets tomorrow.

Would anyone happen to know what the best way is of obtaining a visa to Vietnam? The last 2 times I went through the travel agency where I purchased the airline tickets but it took about 3 weeks to get. Also, where is the most cost efficient place to purchase airline tickets to Vietnam from NYC?

I will keep you posted as to what the outcome is.



I wish you good luck, sorry you have to go through such a difficult embassy.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 Form, Help Filling Out
my understanding, along with this form i have to provide a letter from my bank including information about my accounts, and a letter from my employer. right?
Correct

now help me underdstand this question "I have on deposit in savings banks in the United States:" is that asking me how much money in total i have in savings accounts ?
Correct

and also "I have other personal property, the reasonable value of which is:" the only real property i have is my car, do i have to mention that here? or can i leave blank? (i do not own property)
If you own a car, put down how much it is worth, if you own a nice big tv, put down how much you can get for it. Just think of everything you have and how much it would you can get if you sell it all.
and this question just completely throws me off "I
intend
do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person(s) named in item 3.
(If you check "intend," indicate the exact nature and duration of the contributions. For example, if you intend to furnishroom and board, state for how long and, if money, state the amount in U.S. dollars and state whether it is to be given in a lumpsum, weekly or monthly, and for how long." i dont think i am going to make contributions?? shes going to live with me and were going to live off the money i make..... simple enough?? how should i answer this question ??

Look at the example here on the Website.

thanks for your help i'll be back to check replies.



Good Luck to you!

Wouldn't they be sent to your address? Did he not decide to have his tax returns deposited directly into his account?

They normally will not ask to see the original for such a document but you never know what they might want to see. If it were my recommendation I would say bring the originals just to make sure. It is always better safe than sorry.

QUOTE (raymaga @ May 6 2008, 09:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
You definitely have to disclose that you have been a sponsor for someone else.

If you don't earn enough income to be a sponsor for the amount of people involved, you may need to get a co-sponsor for your fiance's petition.


Yes, you have to disclose that you have completed an Affidavit of Support in which the other form is an Affidavit of support.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionTax Transcripts(from IRS) vs. Income Tax Return(with W-2s)
QUOTE (ikhing @ Apr 6 2008, 12:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Is it better to provide Tax Transcripts (from IRS) than to provide Income Tax Return along with W-2's? My problem is, I can't find my ITR from 2006. But I remember I filed my tax return for 2006 at a H&R Block office and I know I can just request for a copy but what about the W-2? I know I'm gonna have a hard time requesting my employer for another W-2 copy from 2 years ago.
Thanks in advanced guys!


It is recommended that you provide Tax Transcripts for the 3 previous years. If you are unable to do that, like me, then the only possible thing is to offer your Tax Returns which I believe will work as well. Just make sure that they are complete. If you can provide Tax Transcripts than do that.

Hoping someone can shed some light on this subject........my fiance got this message::::

5/14/08 - 11:15:04 Am - Shipment release by the Embassy
5/14/08 - 04:12:44 PM - Shipment in process
5/14/08 - 06:06:13PM - Shipment deliver to distribution Center
5/20/08 - 08:52:15PM - Shipment being process for delivery
5/20/08 - 08:53:49PM - Shipment out for delivery


Does this mean out for delivery in her town? , or from Manila, where the embassy is? Thanks


Where did this message come from? Looks to me like a Visa shipment but that is the only idea I have of what it could be.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila embassy/ ID
LOL I didn't know this thread was still on.

Day after I posted this, I went to the postal office to get a Postal ID. (Which I didn't get to use)

I also went to have my medical and my passport was returned to me. I didn't know they had a new policy. I asked the guards why they changed it, he said to avoid losing them.

Anyway, thank you for your responses. I'm now approved and waiting for my visa to be delivered.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionManila embassy/ ID
I am going to have my interview in two weeks. I'd like to ask if my police clearance (local) can be considered as ID when I enter the embassy. I also have my colored photocopy of my passport, student ID (not valid anymore) and one ID from a review center. Are these enough? Coz they don't issue NBI IDs here and the postal ID seems impractical to have. 345Php and I'll never get to use it. Thank you!

It's outside the US so I don't think it will a problem. If she'll be visiting relatives in a different US state before going to you that might be the red flag.

PhilippinesCENOMAR/July19,2011 interview

Hello everybody. I know that CENOMAR is valid up to 6 months but I've also read other posts about getting the recent ones like 2-3months before the scheduled appointment.

So I was wondering if my June 22, 2011 CENOMAR that says "no record of marriage in the database as of May31,2011" is enough? My interview is on July 19,2011. Anyone here scheduled on the same date? :)




Let me correct myself. I meant 2-3 weeks not 2-3 months.The embassy do their own background check anyway. If mine is 1 month old maybe it's fine. Are there anyone here who went to the interview already? How recent were your CENOMARs?

PhilippinesNURSES
I am a newly graduated nurse I didn't have any problems with my visa. I got approved last July 19, 2011. The consul asked me if I have plans to work in the US and I answered, "Yes, in the future"

They wouldn't see it as a red flag as long as your engagement is real and you have strong evidences of a bonafide relationship and they will be glad to have you in the US because you're not going to be a public charge.

My fiance also emailed all the documents I needed to sign and I printed them out and sent them through Fedex. I think I paid 1000++. He received the documents after 4 working days.

Then for the consular processing, it was his turn to send his documents and evidences to me. He also used Fedex and I received it after 4 working days too.

Philippines2go concern
Maybe you can call the embassy and inform them of the changes?

I tracked my Visa online to find out if it's already in my area (Kalibo) then when I saw its status "IN-Transit Boarded 5J331" I estimated the time of the arrival of that aircraft. I called one branch of 2go and informed them about my incoming visa and that I'm going to pick it up. They sort of coordinated with the other branch of 2go.

In case they text you that your visa is on its way, reply and tell them you will pick it up instead and ask for the branch.

Philippinesvisa pickup

Thanks for the tip on asking the counsel. We will try that. Counsel can always say no, but then again, I am known to "push" much more then normal. :bonk: :bonk:


You're welcome. I noticed too that the date of the visa printing is not that far from the date of interview (Usually less than a week around 1-4 days after the interview). It's when 2go picks up the visa from the embassy for delivery that is delaying it. Either the consul will have your visa printed immediately or if not, it won't take that long for it to be printed. Consuls in Manila are very nice! If you get lucky you might get your visa on the same day coz I read about someone who did that too. Positive vibes!
