Birthcert takes 3-4 months? (split)

[mreyhipolito 6]

Help! Iam from the Philippines, I have an issue with my birth certificate, my father's name should have a "III" in the last part but my birth certificate doesn't reflect it so I went to local registry where I was born and submitted all papers to correct my father's name in my birth certificate. According to them, it was a clerical error and is governed under R.A. 9048 Correction of clerical error. It frustrates me to know that this could delay my visa process for 3-4 months. Does anyone here experienced the same thing or has knowledge about this process? Does this really take 3-4 months? I cannot apply for a passport because of this. Thanks in advance!

If your father's name appears on any other documents, and it is without the "III" then I would move forward and not worry. The only critical point is that his names appears on each document the same and if not then you need to correct.

They process so many visa's that adding up ages is not a priority. They are more interested in names, relationships and dates. If they match all your documents, then there is no need to be concerned.

A little blur is not going to prevent your visa.

If you feel better, return to your local registrar and start the process of fixing the issues and wait 3-4 months. Up to you.

Thank you Greenbuam! How about that my second name was nas not written at the bottom box of my birth certifcate but the the very top my second name was there. Is this considered discrepancy in my birth certificate?
