Philippinesk1 visa approved but no pink slip issued
What kind of visa was it? Now it begins to unfold. lol. Yes, they'll ask for your case number and once they find your name in the system, they'll ask you if you're so and so. Call them and if you hear nothing within a week, send them an email. That's what I did. You're welcome. Posted Image

well thanks again toni, maybe it was because of my previous visa. anyways, it's better to call them. did they ask for your case number when you called?i didn't receive any,white or blue nothing.

That's odd. What does it say on the paper? That should have been specified on the form. Just call them and inquire about your case status. My case was under review as well because I lacked pay stubs so I'm not certain about the time frame of your case. There was a girl who got a blue and white form because her fiancé was around 20 years her senior. If the same goes for you then they probably just want to check if the relationship is bona fide. The best of luck to you! Just call them weekly. Posted Image

I'm guessing you got a white and blue slip. The same thing happened to me. What document do you lack? As soon as you submit it, your case will be processed by the Embassy. Call the Non-Immigrant section at least once a week at 3012000 then press 7 and dial 5184 or 5185. Depending on the evidence, the visa will be issued in 1-2 weeks. Mine was C.O.D. as well and I paid Php256.

Philippinesdo u think its ok to proceed with the medical
The doctor will surely ask how you got the scar. Explain what happened and if the physician feels like it was a suicide attempt then you'll be required to take a Psychological exam. I'm not certain if this applies for Canada though. It may differ.

I'm sorry about the affair...


I have a scar on myright wrist...and i never would have thought much of this until i read this thread. It wasn't from attempting suicide, but it was from putting my fist through a glass pane when i found out my was having an affair? How much of an issue will this be?

I have a tattoo too yet the doctor just asked me when did I it have done. No test for infection or whatsoever.

Philippinesdo u think its ok to proceed with the medical
No. You'll get a chest x-ray. The physical exam will require you to be in the nude but you'll be asked to wear a hospital gown shortly after inspecting your weehoo! The doctor will just take a peek at your genitals, check your wrists for slash marks and look for tattoos (If you have tattoos like me, the doctor will inspect it for possible infection). The doctor will then ask you a ton of questions. You won't undergo an I.E. so don't worry. You're welcome! Posted Image

oh ok, so they're not gonna check my throat? was worried about it.
thanks so much.... :-)




JORDANTONI09MalePhilippines2010-08-11 09:42:00

The doctor won't check your throat but if you want to hold it off for a few days then do so. I had swollen tonsils when I had my medical and it didn't affect the outcome.

Philippinesmedical examination
The doctor will ask you about your medical history. I mentioned my thyroid disorder. I saw what she was typing on the notes of my medical report and it said, "Seek an Endocrinologist within one month from the arrival." The same might apply to you but in your case, a Cardiologist.

Philippinescfo question...
Your fiancée can take the seminar either before or after she receives the visa. If she chooses to take it before getting the visa, she'll have to return to CFO to get the sticker and certificate affixed to her passport/visa. If she decides to take it once her visa is on hand, she'll accomplish everything within a day.

can't edit previous post anymore...you already answered it in your previous post. so im guessing these are required classes to be taken when the time comes?




JORDANTONI09MalePhilippines2010-08-12 22:54:00
Philippinescfo question...
I was the sole K-1 visa holder at the seminar. The rest were IR-1/CR-1 visa holders. Posted Image

Philippinescfo question...
People's Reform Initiative for Social Mobilization (PRISM) and Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO). Your fiancée can have her seminar at either PRISM or SMEF-COW if she's in Manila. If she decides to go to PRISM, she has to get her sticker and the Guidance and Counseling Certificate from CFO.

sorry to ask...but what's a CFO and PRISM? i tried searching the wiki for them but did not give me a result




JORDANTONI09MalePhilippines2010-08-11 02:04:00
Philippinescfo question...
The CFO guide is included in the package that your husband will receive. For PRISM, the first seminar of the day starts at 10 am followed by a 1 pm schedule. There's no need for him to reserve a slot. He can get the CFO sticker afterwards and wrap it all up in a day. The total fee adds up to Php 650. (Php 250 to be paid for in PRISM; 400 to be paid for in CFO)

Remind him that he has to photocopy the Certificate of Attendance which will be issued after the seminar.
He should also bring his PDS which is included in the visa package. (I saw ladies with IR-1/CR-1 visas who had that.)
The rest of the requirements are indicated on the paper.

Good luck and congratulations to you both! Posted Image

PhilippinesManila US embassy interview.....
I brought a photocopy of the petition that my fiancé filed just in case the Embassy misplaced the documents. Load up on the Evidence of Existing Relationship. The consul will weigh his decision on the proof you'll bring with you. You have to show that you have a genuine relationship with your petitioner and that you won't be of public charge. It's best to be prepared! You'll will basically need the ff:

Evidence of Existing Relationship
chat logs
video call logs
cellphone logs
snail mails
emails
phone cards
additional photos
*I included an updated Letter of Intent to Marry.

Evidence of Support
I-134
3 months worth of pay stubs (This was suggested by the prescreener.)
recent W2 (I brought two years worth just in case but the consul only paid attention to the recent one.)
recent ITR (I brought two years worth but again, the consul only looked at the '09 one.)
Employment Letter
*You can also provide supplementary evidence such as bank statements, investments, property leases. Some ladies even bring remittance receipts.

DS Forms

DS 156, DS 157, DS 156K
DS 156,DS 157 + email confirmation letter
*I arranged mine into two sets. (Affix your photo on both DS 156 forms.)

Good luck! :)


Don't bother squandering your money on expensive folders because you already have a file at the Embassy and the prescreener will just ask for the papers alone. Use an envelope and separate the files with post its or paper clips and label them. I used an expanding envelope for the convenience but a simple envelope will do.

Don't forget to bring a valid I.D. and the letter from the Embassy! Posted Image

PhilippinesFilipinos Against Arizona Immigration Law SB1070

I like this thread. I enjoy watching all of the chest-thumping and flag-waving. I'm still waiting for some of you guys to trot out your mom and her apple pie! :lol:

Forget for a minute that this law won't pass muster even with a conservative Supreme Court. Instead, keep in mind that this law won't slow down the illegals to any measurable degree, and that most local law enforcement doesn't want to have anything to do with it. They don't have the time nor the resources to care about the difference between I-10 and an I-94. And for some cops, reasonable suspicion = brown skin. :bonk:

As for other delusions...there will never be enough boots on the ground to patrol the border. Americans would not pay what it would cost to secure the border. As for the visa overstays...good luck on that one too. There will never be enough boots on the ground to put a dent in their numbers either.

How about a mandatory e-verify system and some heavy fines and jail time for employers who hire the illegals? And for you deeper thinkers, how about NAFTA and the half million Mexican farmers it put out of business? Do you think they are going to let their families starve?

OK...back to flag-waving and chest-thumping! :whistle:




100% :thumbs: A lot of flag-waving, chest-thumping, and lightly racial accusations on what illegals do to neighborhoods, public schools and health care. No matter what people say here, this law wont get passed and sadly to all the wishful believers that want the rest of the U.S. to join in, it wont. Simply not enough boots, and not enough Illegals who will follow that law anyway.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA YOU GOT ME ON A ROLL RIGHT NOW LAUGHING, I would bring you some Lumpia and Chicken from Jollibee but they are not a 24 hr restaurant unlike ROBERTOS, can I get you a bean and cheese burrito instead ? BTW, Jollibee does not sell Adobo.

You still got alot of milk to drink, I do have a problem with one race if they are taking all our jobs ILLEGALLY and show attitude then yes I do have a problem, but I also have problems with other races as well if they are Illegal. VIVA LA MEXICO !!!!!!

MANNY !!!! MANNY !!!! MANNY !!!! MANNY !!!! the MEXICUTIONER !!!! WOOHOO !!!! MANNY !!!!





Yeah, sadly there isnt one over here too, thats why mexican restaurants are awesome since some are open 24hr. No, no bean and cheese, but bring me some pansit instead, or some sotanghon, thats the good stuff right there. I know they dont serve Adobo, I meant that to be seperate from the Jollibee order hahaha.

I dont get the milk thing youre saying. In any case, you can blame them for taking it, but dont you think that it's also our fault for giving it to them? That would make us Americans just as, or if not, more guilty, wouldnt you say? I have no problem with whatever race is working, they got to make that paper too.


Whoa, check out Mr. Jose Rizal/Manny Pacquiao getting all MEXICUTIONER over here ha ha ha

So what if its targeting one race ? if they are the problem race coming here and using up our tax money then it doesn't leave us much but to point at one race, if you are offended by this then go cry me a river otherwise manup because you are not going to win this topic for its not patriotic as an American. Why you so unglued ? can you not comprehend that ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL ?

Anyways i'm going to ROBERTOS right now for a CHIMICHANGA BURRITO and HORCHATA, i hope those guys working there are LEGAL.





Oh no, I can man up, but before you wanna say that it doesnt matter what race, then it comes clear that you have a problem with just one race, Soooooo sorry to be playing the "Race Card" here. Im not unglued at all, and I comprehend it just fine. You can say whatever you want as well, because just as you said that I won't win this topic, neither will you. We just have 2 different views, thats it. They probably are illegal but since you want to bring this up, make sure to bring me back some LUMPIAS, ADOBO and some chicken from JOLLIBEE, while youre gone.

Really? Is this what everybody is going to argue about? This stupid law thats objectifying one minority that's not the only race who has ever came here illegally? This is such a BS topic. Everybody has their say in this one because they think their race is better, right? Of course its not targeted at asian people so they would never stop you in a mall in Arizona, I dont think its right for cops to stop me out of nowhere and ask for I.D. to prove something. I'm an american, a first generation hispanic american, and it's very insulting for the to do so. How dare everybody say that this law enforcement is necessary! I would never say this about another race, I wouldnt go "Hey, theres a pinoy, search him for papers!" or "Get the hell out of my country!". They deserve to work, they arent causing trouble, my mom mightve came here illegally, but she grew up in the states, went to school, worked and was treated like an american because she never got in trouble or wanted anything bad with anybody, now she's a citizen, like my dad and I'm proud for the product I am. I dont care what anybody will say to me after this post, my point of view has been cleared and Im happy with that. Oh, and way to go Arizona:thumbs: Because of this law, there will be a bunch more green card marriages thats going to make it harder for everybody else, way to go.

I attended the PRISM seminar on Monday, July 26 and brought I my original birth certificate and a photocopy of it. I was only asked for the following:


-photocopy of passport
-photocopy of visa
-Php 250.00 payment


If they asked for a 2x2 photo and a birth certificate, those are for the BDO form which you are not required to accomplish. Skip the forms if you want to avoid the one hour wait at BDO and proceed to CFO to get the sticker. You can refer to my blog for the process. PRISM messed up the spelling of my name - - - twice.
