    What's provident claim form? Is it in the pag ibig site? I checked it and can't find any form for claiming/withdrawing pag ibig contribution

    Go to this link: https://www.pagibigfund.gov.ph/dlforms.aspx

     

    In the middle of the page, choose Provident Related Forms.

     

    Scroll down and you'll see Claims. 

     

    Choose the form Application for Provident Benefits (APB) Claim (HQP-PFF-285V03).

     

    Message me if you need further help.

    Hi! what are the requirements did you submit/bring to close your PAG IBIG and how long til you get the check? 

    Posting an update:

     

    Went to Pag-Ibig yesterday with my Provident claim form, sworn declaration, and a photocopy of my visa. Lady at the counter asked me to photocopy my ID at their copy room, asked about my work history (I worked in one company for 8 years), and asked if I'm leaving the country for good. Minutes later, she gave me the claim form for the check which I can receive in 10 working days.

    Traveling with my cat from the Philippines to The USA

    Hi there!

     

    I'm moving my cats from Malaysia to US in October. 

     

    First step :

    You need to check the state's requirement to move a pet. I'll settle in Maryland and they require my cats to have rabies injection at least 1 month before entering the state.

     

    Microchip and vaccination is not compulsory but rabies is generally compulsory. I suggest you to check CDC web, they will direct you to every state's requirement page.

     

    Second step :

    Book your pet with airlines. I'll fly with Qatar Airways, I go to their office to book my cats' space. They will travel on the same flight with me as excess baggage. They will be placed in the baggage hold. I'll prefer excess baggage than cargo as my cats will be sent to me in the baggage claim area. If they travel as cargo, they will fly cargo plane and I have to go to cargo area in US airport to collect them. 

     

    Airlines might have stricter requirement such as complete vaccination, health certificate and cage requirement. Go to the airlines local office to get info on this. Calling their customer service will usually route to their call center based in India or the customer service person will tell you information already available in the airlines' website. 

     

    I went the local office and the officer personally took care of my reservation - he personally assured my everything is going to be ok as he has experience in pet booking. He has done it for 5 years and will receive 1 pet booking a month at least. He is so supportive and that give me confidence and lifted the stress out of my shoulder. 

     

    Also you need to check does your transit destination require health certificate, transit permit and the rabies shot requirement? I'll be transiting in Doha and I was informed it is not required. I know Hong Kong require health certificate and transit permit even if you just transiting.

     

    Third step :

    Check your country requirement to bring pets out of country. Malaysia require complete vaccination, rabies shot, microchip and export permit. I have to bring my cats a week before my flying date to get the health certificate and export permit. Health permit from private is fine and valid for 7 days only. The export permit valid for a month.

     

    Overall, you need to start your research on your departure destination's requirement, arrival destination and transit (if required).

     

    Overall, I have to spend around USD 1,105

     

    1. Malaysia health cert, import permit, transportation and agent fees handling (RM 1,000 @ USD 250)

    2. Pets as Excess Baggage fees (USD 700)

    3. Airlines approved carrier (RM150 @ USD 45)

    4. Vaccination, microchip and rabies shot (RM440 @ USD 110)

     

    additional cost If transit destination requires health cert and transit permit.

     

    Good luck! let me know if you have any questions or concern.

     

     

     

     

     

    OMG I saw this only now! Very helpful response, thank you! :D  I posted another question about transiting country requirements. I hope someone can help as I've been feeling very anxious about it!

    Pet in tow and a possible layover in Korea or Japan

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    Has anyone been in the same situation? What was your experience like? Here's what I've gathered from the internet about importing pets to Korea:

    • The pet needs to have a rabies titer test (the Philippines is not rabies-free) which has to be done in an approved clinic in another country
    • Pet must have a microchip that meets the standards

    Now are these necessary even if it's just a layover?

    In your experience, did they have to quarantine your pet? Did you have to secure a permit over there?

    Additional requirements

    Called their hotline last night and here's what I gathered.

     

    1. Go to pagibigfund.gov.ph

    2. Scroll down to Downloadable Forms. On the left, choose Provident Related. Under Claims, download Application for Provident Benefits (APB) Claim. Download, print and fill this out.

    3. Submit the form to any Pag-Ibig branch. Bring two valid government-issued IDs and a photocopy of your passport. 

     

    Idk how long til they issue the check. I'll be submitting my claim next week to find out.

     

    Ok, according to their Provident Benefits Claim charter, it can take 8-20 days. 

     

    Apart from a photocopy of your passport, they also require a sworn Declaration of Intention to Depart from the Philippines permanently (notarized, no need to submit of already based abroad). This is also in their downloadable forms.

    Grammar

    Hi all's! Is the K1 fiancee required to submit their petitioner's most recent federal income tax return form (Form 1040) along with the I-134 to the embassy? Saw this posted in 2017 on a Facebook support group. BUT according to the I-134 instructions from USCIS, Form 1040 will only be required if the petitioner is self-employed. Please help? Scrambling to gather all the paperwork before my interview.

    Are you sure your petition was shipped this week?  For the petitions shipped this week are still not delivered to the embassy.   Your timeline is confusing 

    Oh. It says ready on CEAC. It says that I can go ahead and schedule my appointment, pay the fees, do the medical. I'm sorry my timeline is confusing...I'm really just confused as well. I'm not sure what is meant by NVC letter.
