I.e.mail.nvc they reply me that my records already the forward in manila..consulate

Many of these "agents" don't realize that the Philippines P3 and P4 is just an email with a link to the website.  Same with the eligibility letter.  Many embassies actually have formal mailed packets but the Philippines does not.  I know of a few couples that were told to wait for packages and letters which technically will never be sent out.  Time to take control of this.  They will have you waiting longer and you should already be here with your loved one.

This "agent" already has them waiting WAY too long ... worthless as teats on a boar hog.

Your agent has cause you great harm.  Screw up your case.  Letting these idiots waste your life is not worth it.  Take control and do it yourself or find competent help.

I have actually heard good things about Rapid Visa, I think they used to have an office very close to the USEM and still may have one.

 

I agree most visa help companies and most lawyers are really just a hinderance and not up to date on the subject, From reading about Rapid Visa for Philippines they seem to be pretty good. 

 

I am hoping the "Agent" is someone off the street or a friend

My guess too.  I saw another couple yesterday who shared the message from RV that they cannot move forward until they receive P3 from the embassy.  They have been waiting since August with their NOA2.

They told me that I didn't have to mention my arrest since it was 30 years ago and expunged.  I'm sure they help people too.  They got me refused.  They still have an office by the Embassy but they still tell people to wait for the P3 and P4.  They should know better.  Last year there was a guy who was told he needs 3 years of W2s.  When I heard from him he already had his second and was waiting for his third.  He wasted over 2 years because he followed their requirements.  I'm sure they do help some but those people would probably have been approved without paying them $1000 to mail a package.  To me they hurt more than they actually help.

I was looking for a income stream if I move to the Philippines.

 

This just might be the ticket for me....

Ya RV would never get my recommendation ... they are too out of touch with current processes, and tend to bundle things to fit "all embassies" which isn't helpful .. just "playing it safe" <  read Covering their rear-end

I was actually pretty happy with them right up until we were refused.  The fun came when I asked about their money back guarantee...even after I showed they instructed me to not mention the arrest they stayed on the corporate line..."RapidVisa is not responsible for the information in the petition.  It is the petitioner's responsibility to make sure all answers are correct".  So no money back since I technically answered the question incorrectly even with proof that they recommended my answer.  I laugh about it now.

I agree what they did to you was abysmal and it was totally avoidable.

I still blame myself.  I had the court papers and it was a misdemeanor from 30 years ago.  The actual arrest would not impact my petition.  Not disclosing it sure did.  I was questioning their recommendation so I know I was wondering about it.  That is why I asked them.  I knew better and I took the easy way out because they are the "experts".  

 

I know it sounds weird but that refusal was great for us.  We had a beautiful wedding in Pateros and we were able to share that with Rose's large and loving family.  My family here is very small.  We would have had a courthouse wedding with maybe 6 people there including the 4 of us.  We celebrated with 60 of her family members and it was amazing start to finish.  I'm still worried about the CR-1 but I filed it all on my own.
