    Do they require a Parental Consent in Marriage for 22 yrs.old???

    in Philippines

    Posted

    Good info here.. The letter of the law here in the Philippines is:

    22 and under - Notorized parental CONSENT required.

    23 or 24 - Notorized parental NOTIFICATION required.

    But, as correctly pointed out above -- this doesnt apply for the US Embassy.

    It DOES technically apply for CFO. But , you know, this is the Philippines , so adherence to laws are based on time and place and person you are dealing with.....<sigh>

    Warm Regards,

    Samby

    Very good info! Thanks for sharing!

    Valid ID for SS-5

    Foreign passport with K-1 visa stamp and I-94 card

    We also applied after marriage so we brought marriage cert to get SSN in married name, though this in many cases cause SSA officer problems. (I agree with YuAndDan) Applying on SSN (for first time) on married name sometimes cause problem or delay in application.

    And no need to photocopy... They want to see the original...and don't worry they will return it to you!

    Goodluck!

    Better to get SSN before or after marriage?

    in Working & Traveling During US Immigration

    Posted

    Hello, happy Tuesday people!!

    I know I have been sending many posts these last days, but I have another question, though.

    When I enter the US under K1 visa, we'd like to get married asap, just a few days after, so that we can start applying for AOS. Should we get my SSN before getting married or it doesn't matter if it is right after under my new name?? I read that it is ilportant to apply for SSN first thing, but if we wnat to get married a few days after my arrival, SSA won't probably have the info they need to give me a SSN...

    It's not supposed to matter if you apply for the SSN before or after getting married, but some SSA starting making up their own rules when a K-1 applies after getting married. So it's your call. If you want less of a hassle apply before or after getting married with the maiden name. If you are feeling lucky and as someone said want one less trip to the SSA office, go with the married name.

    Just remember if you try after getting married with the married name and the SSA office comes off some BS of you not being eligible because you are married, you can always try another office.

    The main thing is being able to get the application processed before you have been her 76 days. After that point you are not eligible based on the K-1 status.

    If you go the married name route, remember these things:

    RM 00203.210 C. Procedure - Immigration Document as Evidence of Legal Name

    When an alien applies for an SSN card, SSA presumes the name on the immigration document is the legal name unless the applicant presents evidence of a legal name change (e.g., marriage) that occurred after the immigration document was issued.

    RM 00203.210 Changing Numident Name Data:

    http://policy.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0100203210

    RM 00203.735 Requesting Online (Primary) Verification By SAVE:

    http://web.archive.org/web/20051002025945/.../lnx/0100203735

    If the applicant has changed his/her name after an immigration document, i.e. I-94, was issued, e.g., married and is now using the married name, but has not obtained a corrected immigration document showing the new name; this is not a name discrepancy for enumeration purposes, i.e. SAVE clearance, if the applicant can provide an acceptable legal name change document to establish the new name.

    After...SS Offices are usually not the nicest places..

    Yes pure hell holes. LOL

    My experience is that I applied after we got our marriage certificate... go to SS office in Hampton VA.. with my application form, marriage certificate, passport and I-94. The employee saw that I'm on K1 visa she don't know how to treat it so she asked her superior how to process it... and then her superior said treat it as normal.. but then when she saw that I'm applying for SSN on married name she said its not good for apply now.. wait after a month. But then we asked her is there any way we can get it.. and she asked where do we need it for.. my husband told her we need it to get me in his medical benefits, driver's license, etc. So, she asked as to come in the office then she tried to process it. And she said, it worked! Whew!

    We applied last week and my card arrived in mail last Monday!

    Good luck!

    Customs declaration forms

    in Philippines

    Posted

    Does anyone have a link to download the customs for the personal effects of new immigrants? If now a link, then a form number. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Here is a link to a SAMPLE Form 6095B. I was not able to locate a link to a down-loadable one. :thumbs:

    If you can't find a downloadable form, just wait til you get to the airport and they will give you custom declaration form... and before the plane lands, the attendants give forms needed for the customs & immigration. You can fill it up on the plane before you land!

    Hope this helps.

    CFO QUESTION

    in Philippines

    Posted

    I attended CFO (Commision on Filipino Overseas) counseling at St. Mary Euphrasia Foundation-Center for Overseas Workers (SMEF-COW) in Quezon city. I attended the 11:00am (2nd session) and finished at 3pm... got my certificate and stamp since I have my passport and visa with me.

    Weather to attend on PRISM or SMEF-COW..... i advice to take it on SMEF-COW because the place for the counseling and getting the stamp is in the same site. Compare to attending at PRISM you attend the couseling then get the stamp in CFO. (2 different location).

    Accompaning a fiance' during interview...possible?

    in Philippines

    Posted · Edited by JeffMayeth

    We dont have an interview schedule yet..... waiting for the packet. My fiance' will be flying to Philippines in April 26th and will stay for 50 days...so we are thinking maybe he can be with me during the interview at the Embassy. Im sure it would be a plus to have him with me during the interview. I was chatting with him yesterday and we were asking possible questions from the consulate to each other and I have perfected mine and he only answered 5 out of 10 questions. He cant remember the date when we got engaged, he cant remember our first email and it took him too long to answer me how many time we have met and when he first came to Philippines...it worrys me and I think it would be better if I will be alone during the interview but will let him go with me inside the Embassy...what do you think folks?

    Piece of advice.... try to remember the basics! It starts on when, where and how you met, when you got enganged, his visit..and others. And try to response to the question fast because it will show if its real or not, don't look uncertain about your answer. Review your documents because i believe it has all your information, the basics.

    Since you don't have your schedule yet, better practice with the questionaires here. It's only 3-5minutes interview with the CO then CO will decide if its approved or not. CO only asked for few questions but better be prepared!!!!

    If he's coming with you in the interview, its better, but try to prepare him and help him remember the basics before you go there coz for sure he will be ask question!!!

    Just a piece of advice! Hope this help!

    Goodluck to both of you!!
