welcome, goodluck on your interview!

thANKS for the info

congrats!

yes, u need the new/current/updated one

She need to go to first in CFO located in Quezon City, then, she will go to Citigold (Manila) after the seminar to get the certification.

yep that's right:

ex.

her name before she married was Matutina Dimaculangan Magundin, her new name after she get married will be Matutina Dimaculangan Yourlastname.

Try to call the NSO or go to the local office.

My brother used this method, the local NSO employee say it usually take less than a mo.

2. I recently applied for my birth certificate and upon receipt of my document, I found out that the first name is blank. How can this be corrected?

In order to supply the missing entry in your birth record, you have to file an application for a Supplemental Report at the Local Civil Registry Office (LCRO), where your birth was registered. You may have to bring supporting documents, e.g., baptismal certificate, school records, etc., as these may be required in filing the application for supplemental report. The LCRO will then be submitting a copy of the Supplemental Report to NSO, along with the civil registry documents they regularly transmit to the agency.

This procedure also applies for birth records with "Baby Boy" or "Baby Girl" written as the first name for births that occurred until 1992. For the years thereafter, 1993 to the current year, correction must be done through RA 9048 (Clerical Error Law).

Can anyone tell me about the seminar my fiancee has to attend before leaving to come to USA? Do i need to attend also? They say no they just need a copy of my passport. Do i myself need any documents? Any one who has already attended this seminar in manila recently could give me any info I would greatly appreciate it. She has her visa now i'm just going back and we are coming back together to start our lives together and i can't wait :-)

Thank you everyone for all the help and support, hand in there it will surely come.

No, you do not need to attend the CFO Seminar. It is for filipinos going out of the country to live or work. Your fiancee will need her passport and visa she received from the embassy after her interview. The fee, I believe is p400 for the counseling and p400 for the registration.

Your fiancee will fill up form in the CFO. She needs to know some basic info about you before she go there such as your middle name, your job, birthday etc...

Address:

Good Shepherd Convent

Commission on Filipino Overseas

St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation

1043 Aurora Blvd. Quezon City

Philippines

try to go there as early as possible

after she attend that seminar, she needs to go the below address to get the certification:

Citigold Center

1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue

Cor. Osmeña Hway (South Superhighway)

Manila Philippines 1007

I attended last year before I went here.

if u have some question, dont hesitate to ask me.

additional:

dont forget to bring the passport, i think they also need 2x2 photos (not so sure), and some important documents, and provide some photocopies of everything, coz when we went ther,e the photocopy machine shop are so far from that place so its quite hard.

is 671 credit score bad?

We didn't bring my husband's daughter birth cert. coz she live so far from us, but the interviewer didnt ask about that birth certificate. They approved my visa. But if in case you really are worried, you can bring that just for sure.

No. you dont need to bring the birth certificates of your children from previous marriage unless you have plan to get them someday. If u have children that u really own both of you, i mean u & your wife together, u can bring that. For instance, my husband have 18 yrs.old kids living here in the US but we didnt bring her birth certificate while me I have a 6 years old son (that im fixin to petition) I bring his birth certificate in our interview.

I'm really concern about the Indonesian who had been hit by the Tsunami. According to the news its almost 300+ the death toll and hundreds are missing. I hope this will not happen again. I send my symphaty to all people who live in Indonesia. Pray is the only thing I can help right now.

do you like to go to the malls? just window shopping, eat in the foodcourt? I like it too.
