Help with expediting correction of BC at PSA

[Trevor and Lorie 31]

I hope someone out there has gone through the process that we are going through so that you can help inform us of the fastest way to get this done. Our K1 and K2 visa file is ready at the Embassy in Manila. My fiancé's daughter (the K2) had an issue with her birth certificate. It showed my fiancé married to he daughters father on the BC, however they were never married and my fiancé has the cenomar to prove that. So she started this process in August to correct her daughters BC. She just got the finalized decision from the court to go ahead and correct the BC so the legal part is finished. However, her daughter does not have a passport and cannot get a passport or do anything else until she has the corrected BC. Our case is ready at the Embassy so we need to get this BC as soon as possible. Has anyone out there gone through this? If so can anyone please tell us what we can do if anything to get the BC as soon as possible hopefully in a couple weeks. We can schedule our interview right now, and this is the one thing that is holding up our process in order for her to move to the US so we can be a family together finally. Can we make an Advanced Endorsement on something like this to get the PSA to get it done fast? and if anyone has gone through this how long did it normally take to get the corrected copy from the PSA. Please if anyone can help us with this we would appreciate it very very much!! We Thank you in Advance!!

Even if she was not married,  she would still need permission of father to bring the children to the US

We already have that from the father. and in the Philippines that is not requires because the mother always has custody of an illegitimate child. But we got his consent anyway just to be safe

This is not true for the Philippines.

Understand Philippines law.  Children out of wedlock don't need it

seriously?

thought the embassies went by US laws especially since there was a big case about 10 years ago where a Cuban man went to court to have custody of his son and won

and the US had to return the boy to his father

 

i stand corrected but i still think fathers have rights

Not in PI, and this is an unbelievably common question. Inevitably there is a complexity where you have different systems that do not relate.

What US law gives a Filipino man rights that his own country doesn't provide?

They don't in the Philippines, because so many men there get women pregnant and leave them. its a real problem. And its a US law but not a law in the Philippines. Just like child support. That is the same way.

Please if we could stick with the original topic. I really need help with figuring out how to expedite at the PSA. Thanks!

I may be confusing terms with different Countries, but informal payments to make something happen.

What he meant is it is common is these parts of the world to slip the local officials a few bucks to "expedite" the process whether it's getting a BC, passport or police certificate for example.

oh ok I c. Thank you for explaining. I have heard that the Philippines has cut down lately on doing those sort of things like paying somebody under the table to move it along faster.
