oopppsss...upon reading this concern...nagworry tuloy ako kase last thurs. during my interview they got the original copy of my BC and my CENOMAR. At first photo copy lang sinasubmit ko then the pre-interviewer said they need the original copy. I asked him if they are going to return it once they sent the visa packet and he said NO, it will be their copy and they are not keeping any photo copies of NBI,BC&CENOMAR. Wahhhh does it mean I have to get original copy again to NSO office for the sake of CFO seminar?

PRISM Taft asked me for the photocopy of my BC. Just bring the original in case they would want to see it.

~Chinook


yup, ako din hiningan ng BC sa SMEF. Another papers that they asked are NSO MC, Passport, Divorce Decree and hubby's BC.



im not sure, but i think an ID like passport and NBI will support your photocopied BC... although its best parin to have an original BC when get here sa states. just for your convenience. you'll need it during AOS, and when you want to Amend your passport. although they want a photocopy, mas mabuti na yung certified copy (coming from the original) good luck!!!


to ronmay: thanks for the response. sis my fiance have an original NSO copy of my BC, gave him a copy the last time we saw each other. how about the cenomar is there any particular situation I will be needing it when I get there in the US (like the chapel or courtyard or church do they need orig copy of cenomar as part of a requirement for getting married) coz what I have here is only a photo copy.


I am not sure about the CENOMAR kasi K3 ako. But if I were you, I'll call CFO before I go there to make sure that I have ALL the docus that they will ask from me, whether it is photocopy or original. In my experience, I called them muna and they said that they want to see the originals too. So better call them na lang para sure ka.

PhilippinesUSEM Interview Attire?
QUOTE (jamesNrei @ May 25 2009, 12:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
a no no to casual wear while going for an interview, no matter what kind of interview it is.

Always remember appearance makes good impression. Wear a semi formal and comfy attire, never rubber shoes. It's not that cold inside the embassy, just bring along a nice jacket just in case you need it.


good.gif I agree. I have seen interviewees wearing casual attire and I don't think it looks appropriate to wear tennis shoes at the interview. You can wear semi-formal attire naman na comfy din. You don't have to wear high-heeled shoes naman. There are flat shoes na formal naman ang dating and looks elegant plus you can bring jacket din if you want pero i suggest na yung hindi naman makapal kasi tolerable naman ang lamig sa USEM.

Me and my fiance are so depress because we didn't hear any updates regarding my case. I had an interview last April 2 but I got a white slip. I already submitted the additional documents that they wanted from me, its almost 6 weeks now but we didn't hear anything from the embassy. My fiance called to the USEM every week to follow-up my case but there were no changes,its still under administrative review.

Its really frustrating, I thought that everything went well but it was really suck. Sigh......


just curios.. why did u got white slip? and what additional docs. are requested?


Honestly, we don't know. We were as prepared as anyone could be, but the CO accused her of being married before, and told her that she needed to get an annulment first before filing for a K1, she then tried to get Rhea to admit to being married on the promise of getting her visa on the spot but Rhea refused to admit to that lie, so then the consulate accused her of faking her identity because of a late BC registration and a smudge on the NBI. Then they gave her the white slip requesting another NBI, another Bc, another police clearance, old ID's, elementary school records, photos of the baptismal book including all relevant pages and the cover as well as the baptismal certificate. She also gave them notarized letters from school teachers, the midwife and the assistant of the mayor claiming that they knew her taught her or attended the birth and that she is who she said she is.
In my opinion, there was not enough fraud going through the embassy that day so we got singled out.


I am sorry to hear about this but did you guys ever submitted CENOMAR? I just thought that CENOMAR will prove that she is single or maybe ask NSO if they can give you a document stating that she never got married.

I hope everything will straighten up in your prob soon! star_smile.gif

PhilippinesManila's CFO Seminar

What is the deal with this CFO Seminar for Filipino immigrants? If they have a visa in hand, can't they leave their country? It seems the CFO Seminar is another way for the Philippine government to fleece money from their citizens.

What are the repercussions if my wife attempts to leave for the US without having completed the CFO Seminar?

then your wife i believe will not be allowed to get in to the plane and leave phil... i saw it happened (2 older women trying to check-in and since their visa required a CFO sticker/stamp on their passport, they get hold and cant leave)

the purpose of the CFO is to help women in case if such spousal abuse occur. of course it doesnt mean every foreign spouse abuses their partner, but if it does happen, they will tell you where to go (shelter) and how to report etc... CFO does this too i believe for those who wants to work abroad (so its a mandatory for migrant workers also as far as i know)... its a process... some would think its a waste of money (P600) but some think its helpful... its ok for me coz they're also trying to help you and guide what to do if its your first time leaving abroad and what not to bring at the airport etc

No, POE won't care or bother on who paid for your trip and your receipts. What they want to see is the visa packet that your fiancee has, her passport and I-94.

When the USEM shows you are in their system, they will let you book your interview. You can ask for earliest available date, or ask for a date you're hoping for. Worst the rep is going to say is that it's not available, right?

It took a couple of days for them to internally 'process' my fiance', or what you may call it, BEFORE they would allow me to set an appointment. I got through on ONE of the two days they worked during April Holy Week. Although they had received her packet from the NVC, they wouldn't allow me to book it yet. I think it was Tues of the following week that they allowed me to book her appointment.


i have been calling embassy 2 weeks still not approved to schedule appointment recieved email april 21 mnl case number april 27 recieved hard copy saying sent to mnl but here it is may 26 fiancee still not recieved letter from embassy and have not scheduled interview sad.gif

Mario,

You don't have to worry as the call center will send you an email stating your beneficiary's interview date and time schedule after you get her an interview schedule. All she need to do is print that email and show it to the guard of USEM for her to get in plus she also need to show a valid ID.

Good Luck! star_smile.gif

hi mario! from what our VJ family members told me before, you can download the letter that the USEM will send to your fiancee. I dont think you will be needing that letter during the interview coz it is more like a guideline and has the list of documentsyour fiancee needs to bring. I think there is a link here in VJ. check out the pinned topics (US embassy) or the Guides part on top...

if i need some corrections here, let us know...

thanks!!!!


Madz, the letter and the packet that you'll get from the USEM are different document.

Letter = it states that USEM already got your papers and that you are legible to schedule your visa interview anytime you want. This will be sent to the beneficiary's address and you can't download this in USEM website.

Packet = It contains documents which states step by step process on how and what to bring on your medical and interview. This packet is downloadable in USEM website.

After you pass your interview. You have to wait for your visa packet which will be delivered by AIR21. The contents of that packet are your passport with visa and the yellow/brown envelope that you shouldn't open and you need to bring this envelope to the immigration officer that will interview you at the POE.

PhilippinesWho will set interview date?USEM letter needed at Interview?
Madz,

Once USEM says that you can now get a sked then YOU or YOUR FIANCE can book a schedule by calling the call center. If you didn't get the packet then you can download it naman sa USEM website eh. As for me, I never downloaded it and print it out kasi halos nandito na sa VJ lahat ng sagot biggrin.gif

I am here now in the state and I had undergone my tb skin test for school requirements, my sched reading will be tomorrow and it seems that I had a little bumps on my skin. I kinda worried i might be positive.

any comments and suggestions will be very much appreciated?

Hi Nagz,

I had skin test here in the US because it is needed for my job and the bump turned kinda big so they require me to have chest x-ray. It turned out negative naman on the chest x-ray. A pinay friend of mine here had TB skin test too and the result of hers is the same like mine, big bump but negative on x-ray. My friend told me that she knows 2 pinays too that had the same result. I am not sure if this is common to pinays?

It is a sheet of paper that the flight attendant give to you when you're close to your PORT of ENTRY already.

Hi eve
just bring the ff:

1. passport
2. payment more or less 10,500php
3. the letter you received from Manila USem.
4. as a back up, bring your NOA1 NOA2 have it photocopied.
5. bring (3) pics 2x2 white background(us passport photo)
6. also bring your vaccination records if you have any and have it photocopied, if i remember it right 2 copies of them.

Remember when was the first day of your last menstruation they always ask for it during the exams.
i also have a history of thyroid problem, they checked it and asked if i had my medications when and how long
i would suggest you go there at noontime after you had your lunch para di na masyadong maraming tao, thats what i did and it worked the process was easy just expect for lots of waiting lol.
Goodluck! you will make it!



thanks a lot for replying. the letter from the embassy said my sked is at 7am. i don't have to be at the appointed time then? btw, i haven't had any vaccines. hehe.


Thank you for posting this question, and good luck. I think many of us wonder about the exam. I don't mean to hijack your thread, but may I ask? Is a copy of the email from US Embassy in Manila stating "you can schedule an appointment for your interview" sufficent, cause this is what we received, as we have not set an appointment date as of yet. I heard your also suppose to bring a black ball point pen with you. If you have had no immunizations in the past or long ago, do they charge extra for the needed immunizations you would get there, or are they included in the $213.35?


Actually, that letter from the USEM is what they are looking for for you to get in in SLEC. You can buy black pen outside SLEC if you want and you can also bring your own. You just have to have black pen as you'll fill out and sign lots of papers every now and then. NO, they won't charge you anything if you don't have your immunization records with you and yes, all the vaccines that they will give you is already included in the fee.

Good Luck to all who will have their medical star_smile.gif


So to make this clear in my mind, will a copy of the email from the US Embassy indicating we can schedule our interview date, work? We don't have an actual letter, only the email.


yes, just print it out then you are good to go smile.gif

4. as a back up, bring your NOA1 NOA2 have it photocopied.
5. bring (3) pics 2x2 white background(us passport photo)
6. also bring your vaccination records if you have any and have it photocopied, if i remember it right 2 copies of them.

Remember when was the first day of your last menstruation they always ask for it during the exams.
i also have a history of thyroid problem, they checked it and asked if i had my medications when and how long
i would suggest you go there at noontime after you had your lunch para di na masyadong maraming tao, thats what i did and it worked the process was easy just expect for lots of waiting lol.
Goodluck! you will make it!



thanks a lot for replying. the letter from the embassy said my sked is at 7am. i don't have to be at the appointed time then? btw, i haven't had any vaccines. hehe.


Thank you for posting this question, and good luck. I think many of us wonder about the exam. I don't mean to hijack your thread, but may I ask? Is a copy of the email from US Embassy in Manila stating "you can schedule an appointment for your interview" sufficent, cause this is what we received, as we have not set an appointment date as of yet. I heard your also suppose to bring a black ball point pen with you. If you have had no immunizations in the past or long ago, do they charge extra for the needed immunizations you would get there, or are they included in the $213.35?


Actually, that letter from the USEM is what they are looking for for you to get in in SLEC. You can buy black pen outside SLEC if you want and you can also bring your own. You just have to have black pen as you'll fill out and sign lots of papers every now and then. NO, they won't charge you anything if you don't have your immunization records with you and yes, all the vaccines that they will give you is already included in the fee.

Good Luck to all who will have their medical star_smile.gif

hello sa inyo dyan lahat..pasensya na ask ko lang kung someone can help me through this.sa birthcertificate ng tatay ko eh may typo sa pangalan at date.my question is mag kano ang magagastos ko kung icocorect nila ang mali sa birthcertificate nya? kakailanganin ba ng judge don? at gaano katagal ang process nun? maraming salamat in advance and God bless you all


I have a friend who corrected her name. Her name in her BC was spelled AbEgail and it should be spelled as AbIgail. According to her, you need to pay Php1000 per letter of correction. I am sorry as I can't give you more details about it kasi nasa Singapore na siya and I can't contact her anymore. I hope some of our fellows here can help you more smile.gif

MODS Please LOCK THIS PATHETIC LAME thread with its crappy troll link to gorgeous-mommy.com

It's not a pathetic lame thread. I love coupons. You should try them some time. Coupons could save you anywhere from 10%-90% off your grocery shopping. It's really a big help in this tough economic times.


good.gif

Dang, pang sa nabanggit mo lang ba na states yung mga coupons na yun? biggrin.gif
