DS 157 that is from the bank validity.

I know this has been said or asked before. Which form should be validated by the bank for visa fee...DS-157 or DS-156? thank you.

The requirement is for countries you've lived in. The NBI clearance will cover all places you've lived in the Philippines. If you've lived in other countries for a year or more, you will need a clearance for those countries in addition to the NBI clearance.

Barangay clearances are not needed.

you will only need police clearances if you lived outside the Phils for more than 6 months/per country or place, if you have not lived abroad all you need is your NBI clearance. No rule on what size of paper you should use, you can use short or long coupon bonds, i printed mine on short bond paper

(1) I have yet to call the US embassy in Manila to ask them where the heck is Packet 4. But I understand that if they still have it I can request them to send it to SLEX for my Mom to pick it up, right?

(2) Also, will my Mom pay Delbros to have her (God willing) visa delivered? Or is the fee included in the $380 that I paid NVC when the application was lodged?

(3) If she has to pay the delivery fee, how much is it and where does she pay for it? I have heard of several successful applicants who were able to pick up their visas the following day after the interview, is there any special reason for this? Can my mom choose to pick up her visa instead of having it delivered to her?

(4) And one more thing, the travel tax (I dunno how much it is currently but when I left in 2004, it was around P1,600) does the passenger pay for this only if the tickets were bought locally? What if I buy the ticket from say, Expedia or any online travel agency, will the travel tax be included so the passenger won't have to pay it at the airport?


(1) Yes, you may request Embassy to send packet to St. Lukes so Mom can pick it up.

(2) Yes, Mom needs to pay delivery fee at the Delbros counter located inside the embassy. It is easy to find. No, delivery fee is not included in the $380.

(3) P165 delivery fee for Metro Manila, more pag sa probinsiya. Mom may request visa pick up after interview with the consul. Judging from others who have done it before, there seems to be no special reason for requesting pick up. Some applicants were successful in requesting pick up, others were not. Subject to the mood of the consul if he will grant it or not.

(4) Travel tax of P1,620 will be included in the cost if ticket is purchased in Manila. If you buy it from Expedia and other on-line service, travel tax is not included so Mom has to bring P1,620 and pay at the airport + P750 airport terminal fee.

QUOTE(island_princess @ Apr 27 2007, 03:07 AM) *
When your fiancee arrives in Cebu City, let her go directly SMEF-COW, this is where the seminar will be held. As for the CFO Office (DFA Bldg.), she will need to go there when she already have the certificate of attendance from SMEF-COW. This is where the CFO certificate and sticker be given.

I have been there too. Below is the sched for the whole CFO thing.

7:30am Registration
Do not forget to register at the guard. He will monitor the number of attendants, since only 15 participants are allowed in a day. If you are the 16th onward, you have to come back the next working day.

8:00am Filling Up of Form
When submitting the filled out form, you have to submit the required documents too (as stated in the list,along with the seminar fee of Php.250.00). After sorting your document and paying the fee, SMEF will take your picture (same counter for payment) using a webcam. This picture will be used/posted in the Certificate of Attendance that they will give you, in which is required in getting the CFO certificate.

9:00-12:00nn Seminar
As a group, about three documentary films from "Magandang Gabi Bayan" will be shown. Then, after 2 hours, the participants are divided according to country of destination.

12.01-1:00 Lunch Break


1:01pm Individual Counseling
The counselors will call you one by one to have your individual counseling. The counselor will ask you personal questions concerning your relationship with your foreign spouse. The hierarchy will be according to the order of registration list (the one, at the guard).

2:00pm CFO – Certificate
After the seminar, you have to go to the CFO Office (at the DFA Building) to get your
CFO certificate or visa/passport stamping. Do not forget to photocopy your attendance certificate, the Official Receipt from SMEF, your passport and your visa so you don't have to go downstairs just to have it done. Payment of Php.400.00 is required at this stage. You will wait (it depends on the number of people their with the same purpose) for your queue.


Hope this helps.

glad to hear you got your visa finally patientlywaiting smile.gif

I have one quick questions. I'm a little confused on how the CFO works. I noticed there are two offices in cebu. one is the CFO office and the other is the SMEF-COW Cebu office. which one should my fiancee be attending? will she be required to travel to both locations or just going to the CFO office is enough and everything will take place there to get the stamp she needs on her visa?



You have been a great help smile.gif thank you for the infomation. what questions will they ask on the one on one interview?

Wow thanks PW! As always maasahan talaga ang fellow noyPi smile.gif

Congrats! Finally you got your son's visa. I had a similar experience with our visas back in 2004. All the other applicants who were interviewed the same day received their visas in a span of 2-3 days, mine took about a week. When I got the passports, I found out that the delay was because the embassy made a mistake on my daughter's K2 visa, they spelled her name wrong, so they canceled the first visa and made another one. It's good to know that quality control is working. Anyway, congrats and welcome to America very soon!!!!

hmmm...im a little worried now. i looked at my fiancee's visa and under the annotation it has my name spelled incorrectly. everything for her name to her A# is correct but the only part thats wrong is that in my last name, they transposed a letter. all my paperwork i submitted has my name spelled out correct as her petitioner and all of it was typed out. should we worry about this? or not since all of her information on the visa is correct already.

Joemaria, I noticed your avatar says "my Alabama" will you live in Alabama?

We are very close to the Alabama state line. PM us and let us know where you will be, maybe we will be near enough to visit.

Good Luck!

I would guess that as long as all her information is correct you will be ok. But, I would call the embassy for sure and ask them just to be safe.

I posted this a few days ago, I'm not sure it got buried in a blizzard of congratulations or there were no opinions about the timing if a visit (or could be bad breath). I'll get a mint and give it another try...

Congratulations to those who got approved!

I might have the opportunity to travel to the PI in time for either Mae's interview or her travel to the US (not both, though). Does anyone have an opinion what would be more helpful to be there for the interview or accompany her back?

(I managed to get a frequent flyer for her that happened to be July 4th, I'm not sure if that has any significance but it reminded me of the movie Avalon, one of my favorites).

(I managed to get a frequent flyer for her that happened to be July 4th, I'm not sure if that has any significance but it reminded me of the movie Avalon, one of my favorites).

Well in my opinion and in the opinion of an immigration lawyer I consulted, if you have the time and the money you should attend her interview.

Congratulations to everyone with their visas. It is so encouraging to hear of your success. Thanks to everyone on this site for your help in helping others get approved.

I have a question about the medical at St. Lukes. What does someone do if it is the time of their monthly cycle?

Thanks

I heard its not advisable to have the physical exam when somebody has their period. My cousin was asked to come back when her period is done. The Dr cant take a good look down there when its that time of the month. They usually ask when did you have your period, first and last days of it and if you had a sexual contact after then etc.

I was faced with this same dilema. My Fiance wanted me to come for her interview and also to excort her back. Trouble was that I did not have enough time on the books at work to stay more than 10 days. (8 days after travel time) I did not think it was a good idea to guess when her visa would be issued and get a ticket for the end of that time frame. Secondly, I did not have enough money with plane tickets to Manila costing about $1000 each to make two trips in hopefully less than a month. Consequently, I told me sweetheart it was one or the other. I would come for the interview and she would fly here alone or I would skip the interview and come to get her. She, bless her heart, told me she understood and without a complaint out of her lips said she wanted me there for her interview most of all. So that's what I am doing.

And good news is.....I hop on the plane tomorrow night for Manila!!! WOOOHOO!!!! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif Can't wait to see my baby again!!!! Hope I remember everything! I gotta work tomight too and I haven't even started to pack! ohmy.gif I am soooo bad! tongue.gif

Congrats to Dean and Gracia, Mike and Marivic, and CocoPuff on successful interviews. Congrats to all those that received their visas recently, especially to you Cora for such a long and agonzing wait. Congrats to Elmasguapo for great news on the medical results. I know I am probably missing someone here and I apologize for not keeping up. I will just say that I have read it here and congratulated you in my mind when I did, so you are now officially congratulated in print if I did not say it before. good.gif

Talk to you all later.....from Manila if not before. biggrin.gif

Congrats on the delivery of your Visa for your son.
Seems many of us after you have been put on hold for some reason.
Our Visa has still not come.
As of today, in fact it still has not even left the Embassy.
I am starting to think we have been put on some sort of AR.
They have no explanations so far, and no replies as to why our Visa has not been released to Delbros. So I am starting to think something happened, and maybe they are rethinking them selves on our Visa, and I don't really know. They told her she was approved, told her she should have her Visa by Friday, and today is Friday, and it is not even released by the Embassy. So I guess I dont get it. Every step of the way, they have made sure they have made us wait even longer at every corner we have turned, even when our papers have been correct.So I guess having been married before, and bringing some one to the States has put us on the USCIS Highway to Hell. Maybe I am just getting ahead of myself, and there is a bigger explanation, but having no answers, and No Visa having been released a full week later is getting us down. And by the time they reopen on Monday , ity will have been 10 days and still at the Embassy. We have prayed every night, and are without answers anymore... Good luck to everyone still waiting, and those approved, and still waiting.
Just when we thought we were over the waits, let downs, and on our way, they have built yet another hurdle...It just isn't fair. I was hoping my Dear Rose would bee in my arms for my Birthday next weekend, and now, I'm not sure.
God bless Everyone...

Hello everyone.....just want to know if the NBI clearance is sufficient in lieu of police clearances that one should get in places they've lived since 16 years old?......and is there a rule on what size of paper i should print the emails and chat logs?....thanks to anyone who would be kind enough to answer me helpsmilie.gif smile.gif


you will only need police clearances if you lived outside the Phils for more than 6 months/per country or place, if you have not lived abroad all you need is your NBI clearance. No rule on what size of paper you should use, you can use short or long coupon bonds, i printed mine on short bond paper

...thanks....i'm still waiting for NOA2 but i like to start working on some proofs i need to bring for the interview...our relationship is on its 8th year now and i'm not so sure how to go about printing emails and chat logs coz it's quite a lot....since you were kind enough to answer me i'll ask again what would you suggest i do....would it be enough to choose an email for each month for the entire 8 years?....thanks again.


Hi! It would be wise to have it all available but i don't think the CO will question much of your 8th year relationship yes.gif It is a sure approval for me good.gif As long as all important documents are complete especially DS forms, BC, NBI, Police Cert, Ceno if applicable, I134, and other important dox in your case.

We are in our 4th year and we did prep all and we mean ALL (snail mails, emails, phone logs, etc for each year) and they only asked for 3 snail mails (original) and that's it. But as a good advise have everything available at least to cover 2-3 correspondence for each year and the most important is within the 2 year period when you applied for this petition and also include the current ones. Just be prepared with all the possible documents to support your relationship. You wouldn't know what they are going to ask until you get there. I know the whole process is stressful but you'll do great good.gif

There was a similar case last year and embassy said that as long as the beneficiary’s info was correct, it was okay. But I would second DeanIWait, better for both of you to call embassy to inform them of the mistake and ask them if there is a need for correction. Then please let us know what they say.

I have a question about the medical at St. Lukes. What does someone do if it is the time of their monthly cycle?


The applicant will be asked to come back after the monthly cycle. This is the reason why we suggest to take the medical at least a month prior to interview so there is enough time to react for unexpected problems like monthly cycles, having cough & colds resulting to blurry x-rays, additional tests, etc.

I still have not receive my visa. Its already been 4 weeks on AR, it really worries me now... sad.gif
Anyway, congratulations to you and everyone here who has their visa.


4-6 weeks is the norm for AR. I hope they release the visa soon.

Seems many of us after you have been put on hold for some reason. Our Visa has still not come. As of today, in fact it still has not even left the Embassy.
I am starting to think we have been put on some sort of AR. They have no explanations so far, and no replies as to why our Visa has not been released to Delbros.


I am thinking that maybe because of the network problem that occurred at Delbros last week, that the embassy temporarily stopped releasing shipments while waiting for Delbros to catch up with their pending deliveries. Maybe tomorrow, everything will be back to normal.

Glenn & Rosemarie
Hello everyone, it has been awhile since I visited here in the forum. The last 23 days since Rosemarie left me have been very stressful and hard on me emotionally. It seems that I need closure to this awful situation that I have faced with. It is truly difficult to accept that I gave someone 100% of my love and that they could treat me this way.

I had not heard a word from her until Wenesday night. I received an email from her that said she wanted to work things out and was coming back soon. Actually, it was like she re-opened the wound saying that, as it brought about very confusing feelings. I had to think about this a lot. While we were together, her lies were often and she never seemed to be very affectionate. I assumed possibly this was because she was inexperienced in relationships, as well as we are from different cultures. I am then informed she is a lesbian by a cousin of hers and a friend of hers that now lives in the USA. I find these things very unsettling.

She showed up with police here unannounced on Friday and wanted her things. I agreed and allowed her to get everything that was hers and actually carried out her suitcases for her. She made the statement that maybe she will come back. I replied that wasnt a possibility at this point. I told her that she needed to return back to the Philippines. I also informed her that I withdrew my petition for her visa and there will be no greencard or AOS for her. I offered to buy her a ticket back, but told her I would not give her the money, but only a ticket was all. She then replied not to me not to buy it, that herfriends will help her. She is staying with a Filipina here in my city I learned. The filipina is married to a very sick man. I met the girl once and being the intuitive person that I am, I felt as though the girl didn't like me for some reason unexplainable. A filipina friend of my wife has called dthe girl Rosemarie is staying with to talk. She told me that the girl talked awful of me. She said things like I should be charged with rape of my wife? I have never heard such absurd things as this woman said.

I am now of the opinion that my wife not only has used me, but possibly will try to find anyways she can to stay here. I have many questions that I need answered or at least some feedback on.
1. I have withdrawn my petition for her, she has no AOS or greencard. Can she stay here legally anyways?
2. I was under the impression that being I am the sponsor, she by law had to be living with me?
3. Is there a way or do I have any right to know if she is in the USA or back in Philippines?
4. How can I divorce her without her signing the divorce papers? I don't know what address to send them too!
5. Is there a number that I can call for help or to have questions answered?

I somewhat apoligize that I post this here. But, I have been a memeber here a long time and respect the opinions and feedback that I receive here very much. I appreciate the concern and caring of all of you that have replied to me here. I hope and pray that you have happiness and a blessed life together.

Glenn, I would love to write an essay here, but will refrain. Ive been following this since day one. Go where youre heart leads you, but always remember: First time shame on you, second time shame on me. Best of luck, Jeff
