Report of Marriage - The dumbest question asked?????

[jeanie&jerry 2]

Hello fellow VJers,

This has to be one of the dumbest question I have ever heard. Let me set it up:

My wife came over here as a K-1 fiancee and we got married May 29th. After reading the Philippines forum it made sense to file with ROM to the Philippine consulate in San Francisco(since we live in Utah and SF is our consulate). We sent all required documents including fees, copies of all original documents including additional document-a true copy of her annulment and four copies. After four weeks some one called and left a message that we needed an NSO copy of the marriage license that shows her previous marriage has been annulled. So we sent the original and four copies of the NSO copy of the marriage license showing annulled. That was three weeks ago. Then yesterday we got another call from the SF consulate and she left this message: "Hello Mr. Jerry we received your NSO copy....bah bah bah bah. I wanted to asked you the check that has Mountain America Credit Union on it and is a cashier check of $25, it that for the fee to paid for the ROM? I just want to know for sure. Please call me back." #######! The check was written to Philippine Consulate General and was attached with the ROM documents and the cover letter also said it was attached. She told me to call back but didn't leave a number. And when I tried calling the consulate you can't get a live person. Supposedly, if you press 0 you will get the operator. But when I do the recorded message says "that extension is not available at this time" and sends you back to the main menu.

I am sorry I don't have any questions.......I just feel frustrated and just need to let out some stream. LOL.

You have to be persistent when calling the consulate. Try calling them first thing in the morning when they open for business.

Hi!,

I tried calling the no. but no success. I went to their Facebook page, sent a PM, I got a response and they ask for my contact#. After few hours they gave me a call. I hope this helps. =)

Just an update. Since I couldn't reach them by their phone number I sent a letter confirming that the check is for the fee of the ROM. After a week they called and left a message that they had already processed our ROM and sent the originals back to us. The day I sent that letter I received their letter so that means they processed the ROM even before they got my letter. What a joke......

It never surprises what can come from governments, USA or The Philippines!
