Almost Done with the LDR

Well her interview was on June 15, 2011 in Manila.

She and the three boys had their Physicals at St Luke’s on June 7th – Three days for the youngest boy.

Interview for the Kids they all passed just a few questions about my full name, How many times I have come to the Philippines to see them all. The consular was surprised when they said 8 times in two and a half years. Where were we all going to live?

Rina was asked more question most of which I can not remember but I will ask again and post later.

She did not have a NBI under the last name of her first husband. She said she never used his name on official documents so we did not pursue this. Now I wish we had.

This has since been requested from NSO, received and sent via 2GO to the embassy while still in Manila.

She needed something else from the NSO but I can not remember what it was but this issue as well is resolved.

She did not have the CENOMAR proving the first marriage was officially over.

We did not pursue this either since it ended in his death long time ago and she was since remarried and that one we did prove was officially over. Again I guess we should have over prepared for these contingencies.

Once this is received she needs to return her passport to the Embassy.

This is the only document we are waiting on. It will be ready is supposedly 5 working days and the Embassy will pick it up by their own methods. Once this is received then the visas will all be issued and then it will take 2 weeks to courier to her house in Iligan.

I can not believe the hardest stage of this process is almost over and she and the kids will be with me in Dallas.

Hopefully by Mid July.

Good Luck one and all.
