PhilippinesCurious about Red ribbon

Hey Guys!

How is everything doing? just a quick question does the NBI clearance , Birth certificate. and Final decree of annulment need a red ribbon to submit for the interview? Just wondering if that is necessary if so I would like to ask my beneficiary to start getting things done as she is not living in her own country..does anyone knows? I guess there is :) :whistle: ? She is from Phil. but living in Macau..

Thanks waiting for reply.

From my experience, the red ribbon is used by the Philippine Consulate for document authentication. I am sure it is used by more Philippine government agencies.

Philippineswedding process please help, I am begging you

And we followed the rules.

Rules in the Philippines??? You gotta be kidding! :lol: Just kidding.
It sounds like the OP is pressed for time. Following the rules would be waiting the ten day period.

I've always heard that men are the pedal and women are the brakes...

I really don't think that's true in most cases.
I think there is an even distribution on who initiates the break-up.

Philippinesgoing to the philippines with my us citizen baby

Hi to all,

I just want to have a qusetion regarding my trip to the philippines. I am holding a two year greencard and have a baby with my us citizen husband. I am going back to the philippines tomorrow with my baby and planning to stay there for 3 months.. My question is;

1. Do i need to pay any fees upon arriving at the philippine airport? how much?

No, there should not be any fees paid for you or your baby.

2. Is there any problem with me and my baby staying there for 3 months?

No, there is no problem for you or your baby staying for 3 months. You are a Filipino citizen, who has a green card, and is eligible for Balikbayan privilege. Your baby is an American citizen (possibly Filipino citizen) and is eligible for Balikbayan privilege since s/he is your immediate relative. Balikbayan privilege is extended to the Filipino citizen, as well as his/her spouse and minor children. It is valid for stay in the Philippines up to one year.
What state are you from, btw? Different Philippines consulates have jurisdictions over different states.

3. Any body here experiencing going home like me for the first time?

I'm sure there are many here.

4. My passport is still in single name, do i have a problem because my baby's passport is a us passport.

It should not be a problem having your passport in your maiden name, and having a green card in your married name. Please be sure to bring along a certified copy of your marriage certificate and a copy of your baby's birth certificate. When you will invoke Balikbayan privilege for yourself and your baby at Philippines immigration, you will need both of those documents in addition to your passports.

Please I need some advice! My trip will be tomorrow via Delta airlines. Thanks and God bless you all!

Take care and have a safe trip to the Philippines!

PhilippinesRICE!

If you are looking for Filipino fast food in the Puget Sound area, Jollibee, Chow King, Tokio Tokio, and Red Ribbon just opened right next to the new Seafood City at the Westfield Southcenter Mall in Tukwila. Guaranteed you'll be in Pinoy-grocery heaven at Seafood City. Fou Lee on Beacon Hill in Seattle is another good place to shop for Filipino groceries.

Are you serious??? Damn, I really need to get out more...
Thanks for the update! I haven't been to Southcenter Mall since last Christmas. My wife will LOVE to hear there's a Red Ribbon!

Thanks again, Tahoma! :thumbs:

PhilippinesBeer

I'm thinking about traveling from the US to Phils with some Blue Moon, Sams Seasonal, etc.. so that the father-in-law can try out our local beers.. I'm guessing balikbayan would work, but it might get "old" before arrival.. I'm curious what the airlines would do about checking in beer..

We're going next year, so I'll have to let everyone know how it goes.. :thumbs:

Yeah, I know what you mean. Old, stale beer is no fun drinking.
You'll be fine carrying beer in your checked luggage. TSA allows for beverages less that 24% alcohol content, and is not subjected to hazardous materials regulation. Delta confirms this.

So, go ahead and prepare a small inventory of your finest ales! :D

PhilippinesBeer

I was wondering, what's the best way to send my father in-law some of the local good stuff? Anyone send it in a balikbayan box? Or can I bring it in checked baggage?

Best way would be through checked baggage. No extra fees required.
I believe the airline restrictions are more strict than those of Balikbayan box. If this is not a concern, I'd go for checked baggage first.

YMMV.

PhilippinesCost Of Visa For Staying More Than 21 Days

I didn't know that was possible... If you can have somebody else do it for you, so that you don't have to be there in person, it can be worthwhile in some cases. Example: 3+ hours each way on a bus to get to the nearest city with an immigration office. That's a whole day of the trip spent extending the visa. Sure, you can make a day out of it by going to the mall or something, but it can still be quite a hassle.

I should find out about this for the next time I'm there for more than 21 days. :)

In the Philippines, anything is possible! :yes:

There are express lane fees/expedite fees for just about everything. Your imagination is the limit.
Yes, it is a case-to-case basis. Your time spent on a bus/van/taxi for 6 hours may be worth more to you than P3,000. It is...all a matter of perspective.

PhilippinesSending a Package from Manila to the US

Hi! I'm flying to Chicago on Nov. 23, but I'd like to send some of my stuff ahead of time so I don't bring a lot and don't pay too much for excess baggage on the plane.

Does anyone know a good way to send a box to Chicago or Indiana? It's ok if it's slow, as long as it's safe and has a reasonable price :-) Any ideas on the price, too?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried any price quote from PhilPost (Philippine Post)? It is the slowest way to send a box. OTOH, it was the cheapest, too.
I used their service to send a Balikbayan box full of textbooks to the States. It took alittle over 8 weeks for it to arrive. I forget the exact amount, but I think it was around P5,500-P6,000.

If you're sending items of value though, I'd probably use a different courier. Hope this helps you. :thumbs:

I'm sorry to hear that your stepchild is unable to accompany your wife. I suppose it's better to be treated at St. Lukes first, than to be denied at U.S. POE later.

PhilippinesHome health agency in the Philippines
Interesting proposal you have.

I'm not quite sure how well a home health agency would be perceived in the Philippines. Presently, many post-op patients and/or their family hire nurses and physical therapists to come to the patient's home.
My brother-in-law, an RN, did some moonlighting while waiting for his employment interview. He was paid something like P150/shift.

I would imagine that a home health agency would be more expensive for the patient. If approved, PhilHealth would definitely increase their monthly costs for patients.
Patients would rather pay the health care workers directly, IMO.

However, if you're thinking about a private home health agency for foreigners/Fil-Ams/expatriates...that's a different story. This would definitely be an untapped resource.

PhilippinesAnother foreigner killed.

Man, and i thought my neighborhood was ruff.

I'm with you on that one! :thumbs:

kinda makes you think twice about visiting there dont it...

Not really. There are so many beautiful places in the Philippines to visit. Just like everywhere else, there are good and bad elements.
Generally, though, if you mind your own business and keep low (avoid drawing attention), you'll be fine.

at the same time, crappy stuff happens to americans on american soil, go figure.

+1. Yep, I hear this on the news all the time. On the same token, I'm sure there's many Filipinos being killed in the Philippines just the same.
They may not make the news because they are an average Joe, and not a celebrity or a foreigner. Just my $0.02.

PhilippinesSatellite Internet

I have been thinking about trying to get satellite internet at the house in Negros for a while now. Our house is situated between Vallehermoso and Canlaon in the mountains of Negros. Smartbro doesn't work due to no signal, so satellite seems like the only option. I have looked at Ipstar on the internet and they have retailer offices in Luzon. I was wondering if anyone in the RP forum has satellite internet or knows of a retailer in Cebu. Is there another service provider in the Philippines besides Ipstar? If anyone has experience with satellite internet in the RP feel free to share your experience.

Theres an internet cafe in Canlaon that has satellite internet. When I asked them what provider they used, they just gave me a blank stare (I don't speak ilongo). So they are not a good source for information, but atleast I know it works in Negros with the correct line of site.

Thanks,
Wyatt

I do not have experience with satellite internet in the Philippines. We had DSL available in our area.
Have you tried AZ Communications? They have different plans, but no rates are listed.

Sorry I could not be more of a help to you. Hope you find a better solution. :thumbs:

PhilippinesChristmas Plans...

lots of fireworks and he even trown some coins to all kids,lots of fun... Our neighbors so happy that I brought santa claus from southpole ;)

Yeah, we really love all the fireworks, too! I'm sure your neighbors are happy you brought your Santa. :lol:

Nope. I work in an energy industry, and the operation is 24 hrs. I've been doing shifts and I'm not sure if my schedule falls on Christmas.

I see. You're basically on-call. Well, I hope you'll have a Merry Christmas still.

We're spending Christmas and New Years in her hometown. Christmas is both of our favorite time of year! We had originally planned to be married on December 10th of this year, (we've since pursued the fiancee visa instead) because it's near the middle of both of our birthdays. I guess it was going to be our first Christmas as a married couple, but life has a way of changing your plans without your say-so.

I'm pretty excited about spending the holidays in the Philippines! :dance:

You're gonna love it! Just stay safe during the holidays. And good luck with your K-1 journey! :thumbs:

I will be spending x-mas alone. This year, my job put the week after x-mas as a blackout period.
Normally they only blackout the week after thanksgiving but last year just about everyone requested the x-mas week off & it was a mess (a lot of people didn't get what they wanted), so they decided not to give anyone off this year - unless it was an "emergency".
But all that will change starting January 1st, They will approve holiday weeks off based on seniority (currently it is first come first serve). I am the most senior person at my location - so I will be getting first pick.

Spending Christmas alone? Damn, that sucks... Bright side is you may be spending a belated New Years. Enjoy your time off!

I was originally planning on spending Christmas with my wifey in Quezon City. BUT with airfare creeping up on $2K, I can't afford to make it. We're just going to wait til the fares drop after the holidays, and spend a late Christmas in Boracay. :dance:

I hear you... We booked our Christmas flights last April. Luckily, we were able to get $980RT/pax. Now, it's like $1200+RT/pax!
Enjoy your time in Boracay! I haven't been there. My dad vacations there regularly, and is learning how sail-boating.

PhilippinesChristmas Plans...

needless to say...i slept on the couch the the evening of the 26th :rofl:

Always wise to listen to bossing. :rofl:

Last Christmas we were in the Philippines, this year we'll be snuggling up nice & warm at the Top O' The World here in Barrow, Alaska! Quite a change but nice all the same! :)

That sounds wonderful! :thumbs:

You guys are lucky. I'm not even sure if my hubby and I will get to see each other this Christmas. He's currently in the US and jobless so he doesn't have money for plane ticket and my papers are still being processed so I have no means to go there. However, if he had money, we plan on spending it in the Philippines, sort of our last Christmas here before settling down in the US.

That must be difficult, not being with your husband...especially during the holidays. (F)
I hope you get your papers processed soon!

OH MAN I ENVY YOU...LOL...I HOPE MY PETITION IS APPROVED BEFORE CHRISTMAS...BUT I GUESS WE MIGHT CELEBRATE OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS TOGETHER IN PUERTO RICO...

Hopefully, your petition will be approved soon! We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Christmas plan.....

Since, I just got new job in other state, I couldn't spend Christmas in the Philippines, though its the initial plan. I probably spend Christmas at work because of my schedule. LoL. But I will definitely try to have Christmas with my husband.

I feel kinda envy to those who will spend Christmas in the Philippines. It's merrier in the Philippines esp. the New Year celebration. I miss puto bongbong, bibingka and hot beef goto with tokwa't baboy. I miss waking up early to complete the 9 morning mass. I miss the loud Christmas song of every neighbor.

Spend Christmas at work? Do you work in health care?
I agree. It does seem more merry there, though. There is just too much good food to list. :lol:

Have you attended simbang gabi here in the States? The Filipino Catholic Community of Arizona celebrates it, if you're interested.

We will be spending Christmas in the Philippines and New Years back in the US. WE have to travel around Mae's school scedule so that was the best way for us to do it.

Wow, very nice schedule! Have a safe trip! :thumbs:


Christmas here, then fly on Dec. 26th to Philippines to spend New Year there.. :) .

will be spending it here since i went home earlier this year for my oldest son's summer vacation. besides...with me having so many pamangkins and inaanaks back home, the wife has forbidden me to go to the Philippines during the holiday seasons lol. she has a point though...because since they know i am there, they bring all their kids over for some christmas goodies :lol:

Forbidden you from going to Philippines during the holiday? :lol: Yeah, I know what you mean!

oh and correct me if i'm wrong...but isn't the polish version of piroshky called pierogi? but yeah...i must agree, piroshkies are really good! used to always eat that when i was in middle school in SF.

You're right! I stand corrected. Piroshky is Russian, not Polish. Pierogi is pretty similar.

PhilippinesTravel from the philippines to the US
The K-1 does absolutely require the two of you to have met in person. There are certain exceptions, but they are for extreme cases, and it would be wise to avoid the hassle and low likelihood of them being granted and visit him/her.

It is more that a mere 'red flag' it is very important that you have met your fiance in person.

Good luck!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 MARCH 2012 FILERS

Thanks Markieboy!!! I hope USCIS will respond right away to that "weird RFE" you got. :)

Thanks, Andrelle!
Yeah, I know don't what happened. The petitioner's name wasn't even close to my wife's name! Oh well...she has her extension letter. We'll wait for USCIS to straighten this out. :lol:

Good luck with everyone else! :thumbs:

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 MARCH 2012 FILERS
Something really weird happened today.

We received an RFE. However, the petitioner listed is not my wife! We have never heard of this person.
The case number, alien number are all correct. But the petitioner/applicant name is not.
We contacted USCIS immediately. The person informed us that this situation is not uncommon. He instructed us to mail the RFE back to the service center, as well as a cover letter explaining the typographical error.

Anyway, thought you guys may find it unusual/interesting. I suppose it is not an actual RFE, until it addresses the correct person? :lol:
