For cases with problem documents (I also have undergone court procedures 1994 for my BC and everytime I request a copy from NSO, they still have my old BC), the NSO will not have copy of the annotated documents. For this cases, the applicant should go to the LCR and request for an endorsement letter with the new BC and the court's decision. LCR will forward these documents to NSO and will also send a copy to the applicant. When the applicant received the endorsement letter, he/she need to go to NSO (Vibal bldg, cor. EDSA not the MAin NSO in QC) to apply for the annotated document. He/she will be asked to go to the 2nd floor (or the area which her LCR is assigned), if they already have received the copy from LCR, he/she will be asked to go to the 1st floor and wait for her "unconverted copy" of the annotated document. At this point, request for more than 1 copy since their data base will not have the annotated forms. Ms. Hufana (I think she's the Asst. Director for region 3) told me annotated/problem documents usually gets into their system after 5 years or so. So this will cause problems when the applicant will try to get a copy, since they will still be getting the old documents without the annotation.
LCR don't forward documents (annotated) unless the applicant requests one, especially for those with correction of entry. Hope this info helps.
You may not have time, but it will be better to have it done while you're still in the Philippines and have your documents properly corrected and annotated, since you maybe needing it for future use. When I was at NSO, I requested for 3 copies.
Good Luck!
oh dear! i have exactly the same problem on my BC. i already filed a petition for the correction of entry on my name in the BC in the LCRO in Cebu City. The registrar said it will take max 3 months to have the NSO file updated. Based on your experience, seems like the NSO file doesn't really get corrected until after 5 years! Gosh the system here in the Philippines really sucks!! To think that this error was also made by the clerk in the city hall and now we, the victims, have to correct the error they made and we have to suffer all the consequences!!! It really sucks!!!
I guess the only thing we have on our side now is prayers. Let us just pray for a miracle that the USE will approve our fiance visa application despite these discrepancies. Anyway we have done our part in correcting the name on the BC, so maybe they might consider that? I still prayers can move mountains......so let's jsut pray.
