Thank you.

Hi. I'm sharing this username with my fiancee. She has no access to internet right now due to the building where she works having burned almost completely. She is asking if her work address should be changed on her paperwork even though she'll be working only approximately a month at her temporary address?

Any help would be appreciated and if I'm in the wrong forum section it is totally my fault, not hers.

Thank you.

Congratulations!!!Hope I will get mine soon....

Wow, Congratulations to all who got their NOA2s....I felt like I'm the only one left behind ....not even one touch....paging CSC!!!!

New Philippine Web Based Timeline for CSC/NSC/TSC for Oct/Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb/Mar Filers

No more downloads, I have created a timeline online for my fellow philippine filers, I do appreciate the love and support of the friends that I've met on here, continue the support, I do wish that all your dreams and endeavors come true. My fellow filers whenever you want to come to the sunshine state on a vacation or just to enjoy the fun and attractions here, let me know, its on me. Especially for the kids! Universal Studios and Disney World are wonderful places to have pure fun and who knows we can all celebrate our new found lives together, God is great!

Here is the site, feel free to offer suggestions!

If I have left anyone out, I do apologize and just let me know and I will add you next time, I'm also in the process of creating a interactive database full of helpful resources!

"Love, Happiness and that other s...."

....thanks for creating this....you're saving me time checking my fellow February filers if anyone got their NOA's already .....looks like January filers are getting their approvals so it is more likely our time is coming....

I asked this same question a few weeks ago. I live about 45 minutes away from CSC. Word has it that they are not open to the public, no walk-ins.

I think that it would nice if you could...

But since I work in a government building for a different agency....

It would probably cause the security guards to freak out

Post 9/11 all Federal agencies take security pretty seriously and they might detain you long enough to determine that you are not a threat

Looks like your turn for NOA2 is almost there... Good luck!

...Maybe Ken and Lucho can alternately bribe them with coffee each morning to wake them up and start being productive with our NOA2s

Helloooo!!!! noa1 received last march 28 then still waiting noa2...is there anybody a march filers in cebu???Glad to know and be friends...

Hi there. We got our NOA1 on March and we're still waiting for our NOA2 too! Im from Cagayan de Oro City

hi there.....we sent our papers feb.26 but got our NOA1 march 5, i think that makes us a March filer.....i'm from Manila....

Hello everyone.....just want to know if the NBI clearance is sufficient in lieu of police clearances that one should get in places they've lived since 16 years old?......and is there a rule on what size of paper i should print the emails and chat logs?....thanks to anyone who would be kind enough to answer me

you will only need police clearances if you lived outside the Phils for more than 6 months/per country or place, if you have not lived abroad all you need is your NBI clearance. No rule on what size of paper you should use, you can use short or long coupon bonds, i printed mine on short bond paper

...thanks....i'm still waiting for NOA2 but i like to start working on some proofs i need to bring for the interview...our relationship is on its 8th year now and i'm not so sure how to go about printing emails and chat logs coz it's quite a lot....since you were kind enough to answer me i'll ask again what would you suggest i do....would it be enough to choose an email for each month for the entire 8 years?....thanks again.

Hi! It would be wise to have it all available but i don't think the CO will question much of your 8th year relationship It is a sure approval for me As long as all important documents are complete especially DS forms, BC, NBI, Police Cert, Ceno if applicable, I134, and other important dox in your case.

We are in our 4th year and we did prep all and we mean ALL (snail mails, emails, phone logs, etc for each year) and they only asked for 3 snail mails (original) and that's it. But as a good advise have everything available at least to cover 2-3 correspondence for each year and the most important is within the 2 year period when you applied for this petition and also include the current ones. Just be prepared with all the possible documents to support your relationship. You wouldn't know what they are going to ask until you get there. I know the whole process is stressful but you'll do great

Coco Puff

..thanks Coco Puff for the advice...guess i can't bring ALL of them coz it will surely be huge....i'll just take a representive for each month and see from there if i can still add more if i have to add other documents i need to bring with me.....Congratulations on your approval .....wish i would be as lucky

The requirement is for countries you've lived in. The NBI clearance will cover all places you've lived in the Philippines. If you've lived in other countries for a year or more, you will need a clearance for those countries in addition to the NBI clearance.

Barangay clearances are not needed.

thanks.....now that's a relief coz I've lived in many parts of the Phils. since 16 y.o.

Haaaay, after finally talking with a live person at Delbros this morning demanding for an explanation, they delivered my visa tonight. BUT they did not deliver my sons's visa!!! I could not get myself to get mad at the poor delivery guy ~ he was about to take the heat for Delbros but he looked so kawawa (pitiful) I calmed down. Anyway, he called his boss at Delbros to try to resolve the situation and passport will be delivered tomorrow. I was still required to send a text message to Delbros text hotline so it would go into their system. The delivery guy said that the text hotline is connected to a computer system so it is important to send a text message. When sending text, type <CASE NUMBER> then your request.

Example: MNL2006123456 Please advise delivery status.

To those who are still waiting for their visa, Delbros has been having a network system problem the past few days which has remained unresolved up to this time. This has caused a major disruption and slowdown in their service. They are unable to track the case numbers automatically so they are probably doing it manually.

And so, my visa was delivered 13 days after my interview which happened to be Friday, the 13th. And still waiting for my son's visa.

Welcome to the list CountryBoy. Good information you posted re obtaining US embassy letter for Japanese police clearance. Maybe you can copy and paste the info here in our thread?

.....Congratulations again.....guess no need to file a complaint anymore .....maybe, it's time to change the name now

Hello everyone....i'm working on printing emails and chat logs....is there a rule on what size of paper i should use?....and another thing, for those who had their interview already, is there a limit on how many documents, proofs and other evidences one can bring to the interview?...thanks to all who can help me.....

'mafiaprincess'

There's no paper 'rule' - just use standard white (8.5/11 or A4) for things you print yourself, since that's what they use.

No hard and fast rule on the amount of evidence you can bring, bring what they ask for and have whatever else you think might help also.

.....thank you for the information....our relationship is going 8years now and i can't surely bring all the emails, chat logs, cards and letters since we accumulated quite a lot of those already.....

Where do you live PW? It can't be that difficult to find an address in Makati City, its the financial capital of Manila after-all. Delbros found my girl's apartment in Palanan in less then a day after visa release.

Hey BJ, good to hear from you (cute avatar you got there).

I am currently a homeless refugee at my sister's house in Las Pinas, a city south of Manila. I gave Delbros my office address which is just across Makati Shangri-la Hotel. How difficult is that to find? My office building is also a landmark in Makati.

Delbros still has not delivered my visa as of 6:45 pm today. Doug told me to wait until Friday before lodging a complaint with the embassy. And so I sit and wait patiently again...

.....it's probably just a one last test on your patience .....do you think it would help if we sign too in your complaint? ....i hope you'll get it soon.you truly deserve it......

great to hear that they're adjusting really well. i saw the pics taken at Disneyland with the Sheriff and Deputy! seems like you guys had tons of fun. good luck on your AOS...it will be quick and painless...i hope.

I just saw the pictures, too and nakakainggit! Can we organize a CA get-together pretty please? All of us Manila VJers should have one in CA! And that's an order, said the SHERIFF & DEPUTY SHERIFF

I felt like a virgin, touched for the very first time!

Hi PW....just want to ask if my own ITR and other proof of documents here in the Phils. are needed for my interview.Or is it just my bf's Affidavit of Support and other supporting documents about his income that we should prepare?Thanks a lot in advance.You've been a great help to everyone here esp. to a newbie like me........

Mafiaprincess...

The petitioner (your fiance and not bf... I'm sure that you don't address him that way or at least I hope so ) completes the I-134 Affidavit of Support and provides the appropriate back-up documentation for you to submit during your visa interview.

p.s. - What did your question have to do with PW feeling like she was a virgin touched for the very first time? Hahahahaha....

Sheriff, mafiaprincess thinks I'm a virgin so let her be :no: <ay grabe, the emoticons are having violent reactions!!!>

Mafiaprincess, I have to bow to what the Sheriff said. Only your fiance's ITR/W2 and I-134 matter to the embassy. And this is very important, always address your fiance as "my fiance" not "my bf" especially during your interview.

By the way Sheriff, the consul has trick questions when interviewing so you may want to include that in your tips. The consul knew that Doug worked for one of the Big 3s in MI yet this was how part of my interview went:

CO: What does your fiance do?

Me: He is a systems analyst

CO: Systems analyst for a small company?

Me: Nope, he works for xxxx

Another trick question. He shows me a photo of me and Doug together and he goes

CO: Is he your husband? <pointing to Doug>

Me: No, that is my fiance. <now, if one secretly wed her fiance, one would probably trip up and say yes, that's my husband>

CO: He is not the father of your son?

Me: <I had to smile and say...> No

And then we talked about scuba diving and stuff. I got to ask the CO some questions too, hehe

PW......thank you for answering my question......hope my "fiance" is not reading this or else I'm in for a long explanation ....i've read that among the documents that i should bring are the Western Union receipts or remittance receipts....as i'm employed, i didn't let my "fiance" support me so i have no remittance receipts to show.will it affect my chance of getting the visa?....thanks again sa pangugulit......

Sheriff Uling.....

thank you for your answer .I posted that question to PW coz it's my first attempt in posting a message here and that's the nearest message of PW i could find....besides.....seems appropriate in way, right? . I noticed that you and PW are the most helpful members here with your insights....thanks a lot again....

It would be good to bring all the emails... that's what I did. Regarding the pictures, just put them in a 3R album... that would do... you could bring a lot if you want, but the consulate officer who did our interview just took a look at one album.... just be prepared. you don't need to bring the larger albums.... it wouldn't make a difference and they're a hassle to bring. hope this helps...

God bless.

i'm wondering too if i had to print all the emails coz our relationship started in 1999.Just imagine how thick the printed emails will be.I have a big pile already of snail mails and cards .
