PhilippinesAnyone Denied CFO Every Went to Other CFO?

The more you think of CFO as hindrance the more it will become a hindrance to you.

True. You cannot turn a kitten into a lion overnight but she has to make the CFO people/person feel that what you guys have is real.

 

Good luck!

PhilippinesNeed Insight: DMV (DDS) GA Road Test PASS but no license issued

So I came in today for a road test walk in at DMV.

Was lucky to be entertained. :)

However on the counter the lady told me I can't do the road test since I don't have my gc.

But I had my permit already which confuses me.

 

They did let me take the road test (and I passed! Yey!)

But they won't issue the license without the greencard (which i don't know when will arrive).

 

I used my EAD and initial Receipt of Notice for as identification and lawful presence proof.

 

any advise on what else to do?

 

TIA

PhilippinesUnpaid credit cards and loans

No. You wont be stopped at NAIA for non payment of credit card debts.

I personally have some outstanding balances when I left as my then fiance couldn't wait for me to fly.

 

I am in the process of paying them off right now under an installment mode.

The challenge is contacting them when you want to pay as they want a lot of docs, etc, etc.

I gave my dad a SPA for all of the banks involved.

They would usually ask for a lot of docs but my dad would always rebuttal that he doesn't have the docs and we are willing to pay the outstanding balance unlike some of their clients. In the end, they would entertain the money (who wouldn't)? 

 

I have a personal bank account and a joint bank account (checking) as well as 2 credit cards (visa and master card). I have not encountered any problem as of yet (and I always pay or stay current with all of my balances with them).

Hi and welcome Michelle! :)
I understand your concerns. Everything was a bit overwhelming at first but like what Phil & Alla said, its something you can do on your own. My fiancee and I are doing it without a lawyer and I have a lot of friends that opted to do it on their own. It's actually a personal choice. Oh and people in here are really really helpful and someone, somewhere here knows what you are really going through.

if the purpose of the trip is to get married and migrate - fiance visa.

good luck with the journey!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresBC and NSO BC
They asked for the birthday - not the registratin date. They might just ask why it was registered late tho. Thye might consider that as falsifying information which we all know that it wasn't the case.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPLEASE HELP!

During my interview the consul asked me why my fiance is not with me(its just me and my son on the interview day).I told him my fiance have work and he got no day off to come here in the Philippines and accompany me for my interview. He just said oh ok, as long as you are complete with your documents (i gave him every single evidence i can provide) you will be fine. Since he is only my "fiance" at that time ,maybe that's the reason why the consul requested me a DNA test. Everything went smoothly.



I did the CRBA for my son, the USC is my bf. He was not with me due to work and school and was never asked by the consul. I have provided documentations ie pictures, boarding passes from our travel (I went to the US and he went in the PI). We were never never requested for a DNA test. Every consul is different. In regards with the birth certificate, you don't really have to wait for 3 months to request for the NSO BC. If you can have your wife check with municipality (where the little one was regsitered) if they have forwarded your little one's BC to NSO. If so, you can request it at NSO through encensus (link provided above). If not, you will have to coordinate with the municipality to have it expedited (forward to NSO), usually there's a fee. One you have the NSO BC, process teh PI passport too. :)

good luck!

When do you need this? My friend is just starting with the process of CR1. I just checked the CR1 Assembly Package and I don't see it there. However, my friend is insisting that they need it now.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproblems about booking a flight T_T
we normally search for "cheapest" flights thru orbit, kayak and some other airfare search engines. once we see a cheap flight, we go directly to that airline's site and book it with them. they are usually cheaper and would give you the most up to date avaiable seats.

you dont really have to deal with a travel agency. save your time and use online... (now that's a catch phrase) :innocent:

2. CENOMAR
3. NBI Clearance (Green)
4. Police Clearance if you have lived in other country for 6 months or more
5. Have your fiance work on the evidence of support
6. proof of on going relationship
7. Visa approved photos

if you are outside of manila and is planning to stay in a hotel for your medical, start searching for cheap and good hotels.
continue reading up on what to expect in the US, specially in the state you are going to stay. search for places you can go to or things you can do while there. read up on updated dmv manual.

im currently waiting for a MNL# and that's what I have been doing, except for looking for hotels. :)

Should we put in our son for question #3 (This affidavit is executed for the ff persons) note that my son is a usc by crba.
Question 7: (asks for employment and assets, etc$ does he need to fill up all items? What is cash surrender value?
Question 8 - The followin persons are dependent on me: wholly or partially... Should we put in our son? What does wholly ans partially meant? My fiance doesnt send money on schedule. Only when i ask or when he feels like it.
Question 9 - Question about previosuly submitted affidavit of support. I guess the ds5507 submitted in the crba appliation counts? Need confirmation,

Thanks!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfiance is pregnant.

my son was born in the philippines and i reported him through CRBA.

the challenges that you'll fae when doing the CRBA is the NSO birth certificate.

it takes forever for the local civil registry to forward the birth certificate to NSO.

when you register the baby, ask the hospital if you can forward the registration of birth directly to city hall (local civil registry) and request for an expedite NSO delivery.

 

once you have the nso birth cert, start with the crba docs and apply for your child's PI passport (saves your the trouble of exit fee and gives documentation for dual citizenship)

make sure that when you wok on your proof of relationship youd have pictures of being together when you conceived your child.

 

goodluck...

 

oh and on your initial question - yes! file the petition now.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIt's hopeless.

hey! youre about to give birth. :)

dont stress. this might be a blessing in disguise. who knows...

like what the other post said, gather the docs you need for your baby's crba. also while we're on the topic... work on some PI passport docs too. shouldnt be difficult.

try checking with the local municipality what are the steps for an expedited nso reporting (for the birth certifficate).

 

good luck and congratulations!!!
