K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical in the Philippines
QUOTE (nickoftime @ Oct 30 2008, 11:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I was asked of the psychiatric evaluation report after I told the GP I was annulled and that I was declared psychologically incapacitated. As I didn't have a copy with me when I had the medical, I still have to have my psychiatric evaluation report faxed to me. I thought that the report was needed only when it's the applicant that was found to have personality disorders. Are yousaying it is now a must regardless of who was declared psychologically incapacitated?


Yes,it's a must now.i was able to talk to another lady at SLEC who was furious because she was asked also to submit them the copy of her annulment papers she said she didnt have the copy and she lives in Laguna,but then,i still saw her yesterday and told me that she have just submitted her annulment paper and was given vaccines after that.as for my case,mine is not really an annulment,it was a declaration of nullity.my ex has an existing marriage so he committed bigamy.the court didnt require me to have a psychiatric evaluation.but still SLEC would want to see the decision and the finality so i've no choice but to give in to their request to get it all done.

This is just to inform those who are planning to have their medical soon,dont forget to bring your annulment papers because SLEC is now asking for that.i was glad to find out that my sputum tests turned out to be negative that when i called them,they told me to go there anytime.so i went there tuesday afternoon but was asked to come back at 10am the following morning to see the cardiologist.The meeting with the cardiologist yesterday went ok,she said there's nothing wrong with my heart so she told me to have my lunch first and come back at 2pm for my immunization shots.time passed,it was already almost 8pm when i heard my name being called at the immunization room,once inside i was surprised when the nurse asked if im annuled and who was the petitioner so i said yes and it was me who filed for it,she said i need to give them the copy of the annulment paper and i still need to be evaluated by their doctor before giving me the vaccines that i need,i asked them why do they need that for,from what i've learned it's only during the interview that i will be asked for that and not during the medical,and i've never seen any posts from here that they were asked for their annulment papers or i might have just missed it sad.gif

anyways,i told them they were so incompetent for not telling me last tues.i told the nurse i dont have a problem giving them what they need,it's just that they should've told me during the first day that i went there and i could've easily gave it to them since i had it with me then.i was there almost the whole day yesterday,got tired and wasted my time for nothing mad.gif

i will be back there at 2pm to give the document that they need,the nurse that i talked to last night told me to just look for her and she'll make sure that i will be prioritized.i'm lucky that SLEC is just 2 jeepneys away from where i live,that's why i'm posting this to inform those who will come from far away provinces.dont forget to bring your annulment papers,better bring with u the originals and photocopies.


good luck!!! good.gif

For you to be together whether here in the Philippines or in the US, she needs to file for an annulment in order for her to be free to get married again.There are annulments that can be done in a matter of 6 or 8 mos but you have be ready for the cost.

I know some are gonna say this probably stupid question but I got married when I was very young 25 years ago and we decided we too young to be married and we got an annulment within 6 months and to be honest I just thought about this but do I need to bring this up, I can't believe I just remembered but we both just young and dumb run off got married.

Im sure I know the answer to this question but I just checking.

Thanks


Aer you the petitioner or the beneficiary



Petitioner

Main reason im asking I cant find any papers from then and I have searched all my records, I check my state website doesn't show my marriage to her, and since annulled there was no divorce proceeding, I know it sound really dumb but its been 25 years and it was just a time in my life I don't think too much about it so long ago.
I want to show everything I need to but I really dont know how to approach it due not even remember date of annulment I remember the marriage date but thats it, what kind of proof can I supply.

Thanks


you can always secure a copy of your annotated marriage certificate from National Statistics Office,you can apply online.it will serve as a proof during the time of the interview of the beneficiary.but make sure you have it registered both at NSO and at the local office registry office where your marriage took place.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQ about me taking my daughter with me to USA
QUOTE (JimmySharonChin @ May 5 2008, 12:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi guys! I really need your help. Is anyone here who is a single parent but filed for a fiancee visa (I believe it's K-1 and K-2 visa) and is going to take her son/daughter to USA? My fiance applied a visa for me and my 4 year old daughter. Someone has told me that I should need to get an Affidavit of Consent coming from my daughter's biological father even though we're not married. I didn't know that I need it. I would appreciate a lot if any of you could give me an advice with regards to this matter that way I can get that affidavit before the schedule of my interview at the Embassy.

Thanks!


This is the answer to your question. hope this helps.

WHO NEEDS A TRAVEL CLEARANCE?


* A minor traveling alone to a foreign country ;
* A minor traveling to a foreign country accompanied by a person other than his or her parents.


WHO DOES NOT NEED TRAVEL CLEARANCE?


* All minors other than those cited above, for example:

o A minor traveling to a foreign country with either parent or with his or her solo parent or legal guardian;
o A minor traveling abroad whose parents are in the Foreign Service or living abroad or are immigrants, provided he/she is holding a valid pass such as a dependents visa/pass/identification card or permanent resident visa/pass/identification card which serves as proof that he/she is living with parents abroad and their travel does not constitute child trafficking.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBirth Certificate Discrepancy
QUOTE (Jepoy @ Mar 10 2009, 11:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiancee had all the documents and the medical done already and is schedule for a interview on April 2, 2009 at the US embassy in Manila Philippines. My only worry is that the gender in her birth certificate was inputted wrong of a Male instead of Female. In which she didn't discover it until she was applying for a passport. She had already filed the proper procedure or petition in court to correct this and has the letter to prove it. But the procedure to change a sex on a birth certificate in the Philippines is very hard and slow process. The validity of NOA2 is until May 7, 2009 so that's why she is pushing through with the interview. She has a passport and had applied for one by showing her court petition papers. I was wondering if anybody body can comment on this regarding whether she will be denied or will be asked to come back and resubmit the birth certificate. Based on the lawyer who is doing the petition, it is estimated that her birth certificate will be done by the month of June.


The consul might ask her to submit her birth certificate with annotations from NSO. The submission of additional documents at the USEM is up to one year,after submission of such,the visa will be delivered between 2-3 wks.

hope she'll get her bc with annotation soon good.gif

if the boy will be travelling with the biological mother there's no need to have an affidavit nor to ask permission from the father,not even from DSWD.

Sounds dodgy to me. How do you know she isn't 14, let alone 18? Changing a birth certificate should be difficult otherwise all manner of abuses could be committed. If the burden of proof is high to make the change, and she gets it done then you can no doubt feel secure that she is 18. Otherwise... no0pb.gif


they will have to provide documents that will prove that she's already 18 like her school records,baptismal certificate( if any ),voter's id,driver's licence etc

If her sister really made a mistake on the year of your fiancee's birth,then you should follow RA9048

QUOTE
WHAT IS REPUBLIC ACT 9048?

Republic Act (RA) 9048 authorizes the city or municipal civil registrar or the consul general to correct a clerical or typographical error in an entry and/or change the first name or nickname in the civil register without need of a judicial order.

RA 9048 amends Articles 376 and 412 of the Civil Code of the Philippines, which prohibit the change of name or surname of a person, or any correction or change of entry in a civil register without a judicial order.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo approved the act on 22 March 2001. With the law taking effect on 22 April 2001, the Civil Registrar-General promulgated Administrative Order No. 1 Series of 2001, which was published in the newspaper in August that year.


This is what i did when i had the one letter error on my birth certificate be corrected and added Ma. on my first name.It took 4mos for the Manila Civil Registrar to finish everything.I had to forward it afterwards at NSO East Ave.Quezon City,my annotated BC was released after 10working days.

good luck

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBench Warrent
QUOTE (Carlawarla @ Jun 16 2009, 08:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I doubt you'd have to be present to pay fines?? Unless they said this so you would show up in person and then they could arrest you and then release you after you paid the fines. Bench warrants usually mean arrest. If you're ever going through that state and get stopped for anything, they're going to pull you in. I'd be sending a cheque off to them as soon as possible, or get perhaps a lawyer to get in there and pay those fines off.


yes,the judge will require her to be present in court.they will not arrest her,will just ask her why she didnt pay the fine and will tell her to pay it that day,either by mail or in person,after paying,she'll be asked to write a letter addressed to the judge together with the proof of full payment.that was what happened to my friend,we were with him when he presented himself to the judge.sending checks to pay the fine or sending a lawyer will not work out.

No.i have a friend who didnt know that he had a bench warrant way back 2005 in a different state,he was able to get a passport,able to visit his wife 2x and was able to bring his wife here.it was only this year that he dealt with it.when he went to the court,the judge just told him to pay the restitution fee balance that he didnt pay then.

as in your case,better deal with it now so u wont have any problems applying for a job with background investigations.my friend only found out his bench warrant when he applied for a job and that company did a background investigation on him.
