What proof did you show exactly at the Embassy? What did they ask for? Does your ACR I-card show TOURIST on it?

At the moment..I have a:

Month-to-month Globe postpaid plan

Community Tax Cert

Barangay Clearance

Postal ID

BDO savings account (joint with wife)

All my visa extension receipts/stamps

Shakey's SuperCard Because they're awesome

I've been looking at getting a lease contract made up and notarized... However, if I can avoid this then..great.

Please respond. Thank you!

Hi there! This is her wife posting. Your proof docs are all good. Acr is the most effective evidence u can show. Coz u wer not able to have it unless youre leaving your country for months. On filing the petition issues, I will post soon a narrative statement which we experienced on the whole processing.

This is a tad bit off topic, but still relevant to DCF filing, and in Manila. What did you use for proof of residency? I can't get any more replies in the thread I started, but so far I will have this to show for proof of residency.

• Community Tax Certificate
• ACR I-card
• Joint bank account, and statements
• Visa extension stamps in passport, or receipts for payments of those extensions
• Postal ID card
• Barangay clearance
• Possibly a cell phone contract

Do you think this will be enough? I'm staying with my wife so I'm not paying for rent (she lives with parents so no rent).

Hi... All u provided is fine. It doesnt matter if u lack the rent receipt.as long as u have ur acr. It will be totally fine. Good luck!

Hello!!! We've been finding ways how to do this whole thing as short as we can. Are there requirements when you'll be allowed to file DCF?

Does my husband need to show residency here in the Philippines? And if he does need to, how long should he be living here to be allowed to file a DCF?

Please tell me about all the requirements on how to go about DCF!!!!

Sorry, super kulet =p just can't wait to get over this whole thing

Your husband must have stayed here in the philippines for 6months so he can file DCF. For requirements for his residency here are postal ids, driver license, ACR or iCard or bank account and other more showing his residency here in the philippines. I hoped that help you. Goodluck

Hello everybody!

I just wanna share our experience in filing dcf here in the philippines.

I filed the petition of my wife on may 10,2013 at US embassy manila. It was approved may 13,2013. It only took 3 days to be approved. Its really fast when filing in dcf. Our supporting documents are pictures of us only with family and friends from the start of our relationship until the wedding. May 30, 2013 i emailed the ds230 and ds2001 to the embassy. My suggestion is dont wait for the snail mail that the embassy will send you bec it will take long once you got an approval download ds 230 and ds 2001 online and send it asap so you can book your medical and interview. June 10,2013 was my wife medical, it took 2 days so you should find a hotel to stay in after that june 24,2013 interview day our schedule was 6:30am and we were in the embassy at 3:30am the guard let us in about 6 or 6:30am. We were done around 10:30 am. And my wife was approved.

I would like to thank all the people here in visa journey. Thanks for all the help!

Your dates seems to be off.

What do you mean?

Hello!

Can anyone make a fill out sample of an i-864 form with a joint sponsor...(1 for the petitioner and 1 for the joint sponsor).

Im really confused. My brother will be my joint sponsor because i have no income since march 2013.

Thanks in advance

Ok...thank you...ill call them tomorrow....

You should call the embassy and ask for your MNL case #... they gave mine through the phone..

Don't wait for any packets... after receiving your MNL case # send the DS 230 and DS 2001 forms via email...

then wait a few days... call the embassy again and ask if they have updated it in the system... once they have you can now schedule your interview and have your medical done...

the process is pretty fast...

good luck ;]

oh... don't wait for anything from the embassy... be proactive and contact them... best way to get the right information fast is by calling them...

Thanks!i already called them a while ago but they dont know what im talking about. Can you give me the exact phone number you called and what did you told to them?

Hello!

I emailed the uscis last week and just replied just now saying that my wife's petition was approved may 13,2013 (applied for petition may 10,2013). Right now i havent receive any thing in the mail. I dont know what to do next and when will i get the package from the embassy. Can anyone tell me the next step i should do?i dont want to waste time and i wanna finish this petition right away. Thank you in advance.

Ok....thank you so much for the help...

No, your brother files a I-864.

If brother has a wife, she can file I-864A

So do you mean that i will submit 2 copies of i-864 one for me and one for my brother?

should my brother also fill out a i-864a?

Hello

i worked here in the philippines for 2years (march 2012 - march 2014) with a minimum salary. I dont have income tax return because of my salary they only deduct tax on above average of the minimum salary. so how will i file a form i-864 if i dont have income tax return? And also my brother in the US will be my co sponsor...what form should he fill up?

Thanks

Marcoandmaria, may i ask what supporting documents did you filed with your form i-130?thank you

Thank you so much for the help...i will call USCIS next week to check the status of my petition...

Thanks for the info marcoandmaria...may i ask when did you filed your petition?

Is it more faster to file in the us embassy even though we were married couple of months ago (dec. 12,2012).

hello,

i filed my petition in the US embassy here in the Philippines. are they going to send me NOA1? (filed it may 10,2013) is it more faster filing in the US embassy here in the Philippines? and can anyone tell me the processing time of the petition here in the Philippines and the sted by step like after receiving NOA1 what will be the next step.

thank you in advance!
