PhilippinesProblem with the decision of my annulment
why did u e-mail the fraud unit for?like what they said,you're good to go.during my interview,the pre-screener asked only for the NSO copy of my MC with annotations.I even had my son with me at the interview,the CO didnt ask my son the whereabouts of his dad.so dont worry about it.just prepare all the documents that are needed for your interview.most of the questions that'll be ask will be all about your relationship with your fiance and will be based upon what you have written on your I-129F and from the rest of your K1 application good.gif

goodluck and stay positive smile.gif

sus,ano ba yan!i dont think the OP would want to offend anybody here.kung gusto nyo makisali,join na lang kayo.sa situation ng economy ngayon,nobody cares kung sino nakatapos or hindi.this is just for fun! at the end of the day,we all have our own life and family to take care of.i replied to this thread without thinking of bragging and i dont think ganun din yung ibang nagreply sa thread na ito.i did it for fun kasi wala akong magawa,dahil ako'y isang "PAL" lang sa ngayon.kahit nakatapos ako ng isang kurso sa bansa natin,inde ko naman magamit dito dahil wala pa kong "K".

!mga Pilipino tayo and dapat tayo ang nagbibigay ng suporta sa bawat isa.lahat tayo ay nakikidaan lang sa mundong ito.and kung ano man ang gustong sabihin ng isa or gustong gawin,we're all responsible for our own acts.

Hi i married to US citizen january 2007 here in phil. caloocan city but after a months of our wedding things are change and no cominacation until now..i want to move on and freedom so iwant to file annulment but unfortunately dnt know how and where to start..and how much the coz of anulment? hope u help me to recomend a lawyer


I went thru an annulment before,you can pm me if you want to.But then,dont you think it's too early for u to take an action?Why dont you give him the benefit of a doubt?Maybe something bad happened to your husband the reason why he didnt communicate with you for a month.Do you have his relatives' contact infos?Did you try calling his work place?.But then,if you think there's a reason for him not to talk to you,if you had "issues" with your relationship and you think that it wont resolve anymore,maybe it's time for you to move on.

It also happened to me before,after i passed the sputum cultures,during my interview,the CO told me to sumbit a NBI clearance with A.K.A since i had the error on my last name changed,they also gave me back my passport but was asked to pay the visa delivery.I know it's frustrating but we cant do anything but submit what's needed and after submission,you'll have to wait 2-3 wks for your passport to be delivered to you.

good luck and God bless

PhilippinesCourt Decision
When we filed the I-129F,we submitted both the decision and finality of my annulment and brought the original ones during my interview.Regarding Finality, I was advised by the clerk of court to get it after 2 wks.Your fiance should go back there and get her finality,then register it(Decision and Finality) at the local civil registry office,she'll be asked to come back to get the certification of registration.And with all the documents in her hands,she'll need to submit it to NSO Area B East Ave. Q.C.She'll get her MC with annotations after 10-15working days.

PhilippinesIs there A visa type w/no interview?
I never knew anybody who have been exempted to attend an interview. A lot of us who applied for a K visa went through it. There's nothing to be worried about as long as you can prove that your relationship is authentic,the interview usually lasts for 5-10 minutes,make sure all her documents are complete.

Most of the time, it takes 3wks to receive the visa after the submission of additional document(s),as for the case of your husband,i guess it was just because of the Holy week that causes the delay.For the meantime,be busy getting your home ready and of course yourself wink.gif for the soon to be arrival of your husband smile.gif .

I understand your frustrations.Usually it takes 3wks for the visa to be delivered if u were asked to submit additional documents at the USEM,and i guess since it's Holy Week,you guys should expect for a little more delays. I got mine after 3 wks of turning over the new NBI clearance that they asked me to submit. Dont worry,you'll soon have it in your hands.Patience is virtue smile.gif

you need to go back to SLEC to complete your medical,at the releasing area,the staff will explain to you what are the vaccines that you'll need to have here in the US and will give you the vaccination supplemental,they will also give you your new interview sched which usually a week prior to your medical.No need to call USEM.

My fiance is there NOW, waiting on enoding process. SOMEONE is telling her she needs her I-129F approval letter which displays the bar-code and her MNL case number. She KNOWS her Manila case number but she does not have that letter!

All she has is the E-MAIL, with her USEM Appointment Confirmation Number...NOT THE SNAIL MAIL copy, JUST the e-mail copy we both got.

That APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION should be sufficient, right?!!!

Thanks eveyone.


Did she show her papers to the guard?When u said "someone is telling her she needs the approval letter",who's that someone?When i had my medical,there were other applicants that were allowed to have their medical even without the appointment letter from USEM,all they had was the email confirmation and their case number,unless they are stricter now.

Tell her to just go straight to the guard or to the SLEC staff,dont listen to other people there who dont know what they're talking about.

PhilippinesChildrens' birth certs falsely stating a date/place of marriage
QUOTE (AmyStan @ Apr 26 2009, 09:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I don't have any doubts that she was never married. Telling me she lived with someone out of wedlock isn't better than saying she was married. But my point is that the BC is just that, a certificate of birth and not a certificate of marriage. The CENOMAR is the legal document stating whether a marriage took place. One could have a child and name Brad Pitt as the father (along with a date/place of marriage), but would have a hard time using that as proof of marriage to old Brad.

I do see how it can cause confusion during the process and that's the reason for my question.


It might raise a question from the CO why the kids have different dates of marriage on their Birth Certificates but if she has CENOMAR from NSO and other proofs that she and her ex didnt get married,she might get away with it but these are all depends upon the CO....and this is just my guess.It would be better if their birth certs will get fixed.I had the one error on my BC and add Ma. on my first name last year without bribing somebody from NSO nor from the city hall thru RA9048.Tell your fiancee to go to the local civil registry where she registered the BC of her kids so she can get it fixed ASAP,it took mine 4mos and i only paid less than php5,000 for everything.

good luck.

You already have the certified true copy of your annulment,all you need to do is go to NSO East Ave.fill up an application form and proceed to Area B to submit all the docs that was given to you by your LCR and you'll get a copy of your annotated MC within 10 working days.Usually the CO dont ask much about what happened to the marriage,as long as you're free to marry your fiance and you have all the proof,you'll be fine.During my interview,the pre-screener asked only for my annotated MC and the CO asked only about my relationship with my then fiance.

Troubles is always in our way. I am suppose to fly on the 17th of April 2009 in the US but my visa expired..! The visa was released from the embassy on April 2, 2009 but DELBROS delivered my visa on the 15th of April but my visa expired on April 16,2009. My medical was on October 16,2008 and it's only good for 6 months and thats the reason why myvisa is good only for 2 weeks. Now, i need to get another medical exam and right now I am 26 weeks pregnant. My questions are, do I need a vaccines and chest x-ray? How long do I need to wait to get my replacement visa again? And lastly, can I still get in the plane when i am 7 mos pregnant?

Please I need to hear all ur advices.


According to your post, your visa was released by the embassy April 2, 2009. You mean it has only two weeks validity? How can that be? I don't understand. I thought visa expires six months after date of issuance? blink.gif


Yes, it is only good for 2 weeks because the window X in the embassy told me that my medical expired on April 16, 2009 and she said my medical is good only for 6 months. I can't argue to them because that's what they said and they advice to get another medical.


not all visa expires in six months,my visa was issued in november 2008 and expired in january 2009,my son's visa(k2) issuance had the same date as mine but his expired in april 2009


hope you'll soon get the letter from usem regarding ur re-medical sched.take care and good luck star_smile.gif

Make sure that the phone you are using is postpaid phone and has an IDD(International Direct Dial)feature, if not,it won't work no matter how hard you'll try.But you can always dial either 109 or 108 and the operator will be gladly to assist you but the rate will be higher than dialing direct because they will charge you for using the operator and vat + surcharge.You can also go to any pldt business ofc near you.
