    Hi Candy! Is that the one in Eminence you're talking about? The Renaissance Festival?

  3. So my SO went to the DFA to try and get her passport AGAIN ....

    She is being told she needs another Valid ID .. such as a SSS ( Which we understands takes 1-3 months to get the thing ) or a TIN Card ... well she went to get a tin card and would not give her a card .. just a tin number .. which isn't good enough for the DFA ...

    Here is what she has already ....

    NSO BC

    NBI Clearence

    School records - Form 137

    Postal ID

    Baptismal Record

    Voter's Registration

    We are at a loss what to do to get her passport right now ... I know others have had to have been in a similar situation .. what did you do?

    She isn't in college so doesn't have a school ID

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Which DFA office is this? Is this in Cebu? I had some stupid guy in the Cebu DFA (checker) deny me the first time in getting a passport since he was not contented with some of the details on my birth certificate - saying that it was too blurred to decipher, etc... Duh, as if that's my fault, right? So I was so disappointed, I could cry. I went over to where the security guard is and she told me to try to fall in line again and fill out another form and pray that I don't get the same dumba*s sonofagun to be my checker hat denied me the first time. Truth to it, I got a very nic lady this time. She took my papers in without any hassles.

    If that doesn't work, your fiancee may opt to escalate her case to the DFA director in the Cebu office at the 2nd floor of the same building. Let that know know about your case and show them your documents. You'll realize they are not that hard to deal with.

    I swear I would have loved to wring that checker's neck to deny me the first time though.

    Hope all goes well.

  4. Ok, the NVC has *finally* gotten my case and assigned a case # (MNLxxxx). I have a few questions on the next steps for a K1 in the Philippines.

    Hi Dave! I will try my best to answer this based on my experience out of bugging the NVC and US embassy duting my K1 process. LOL

    First, what is needed for me to call and get an interview scheduled? Is it just a matter of giving it a few days for the case to be received by the US Embassy in Manila? Is there any way to know when I can call? Or do I need to fill in a DS-230? From the US Embassy web site, it seems I don't need this.

    The moment the NVC assigns a case number for your petition and visa process, allow them about 2 weeks max to send a notice to the USEM in Manila. The USEM in Manila will then send the K1 fiance/e a written notice that they have received the case and advise him/her that she/he is now ready to go for medical at St. Lukes and schedule an interview date at the USEM via the call center.

    Now, in my case, I decided not to wait for the letter from the USEM. I went ahead and allowed about 3 business days after calling the NVC to pass by and then went ahead and called the USEM call center and asked them if they have received my case and quoted my MNLxxx number. Over the phone, the call center rep can confirm if they now have your case on file. In my case, they did - So I went ahead and set an interview date at the USEM. Medical at St. Luke's Ext Clinic are walk-ins for the K1 Visa process so it was not a big deal for me - that part does not need to be scheduled.

    DS-230 is not needed for the K1 process.

    Second, with regard to proof for the I-134, do I need to provide W-2's for the last 3 tax years? I only have the last 2 years (the year before that I worked in Japan and did NOT receive a W-2 or even a year end earnings statement). I will provide the last 3 years tax transcripts, plus my last 2 years W-2s.

    The embassy interview only rquires the last year's W2 or 1040. However, you may overdeliver just to be safe.

    Third, for my letter of employment, does it matter if it is 3 or 4 months old (I will be attaching my payslips since then)?

    You may have to attach the pay stubs if you want since it has not been a year snce you got your present job, I suppose.

    Thanks in advance!

    Dave

    PM me if you want to hear about the experiences while processing. I am the K1 fiancee and it may help you and your lady.

    God bless and good luck!

  6. I missed all of you people! I am back!!! Marrid last une 27 - the best day of my life!!! Got my SSN in my married name. My daughter's been registered for grade school and she will be entering in 3rd grade. We are still saving money for the paperworks and medical that need taking care of. We are looking at $250- for the last vaccine shot that I need. $250/person for the I-693A. And about $1650+ for the filing of the AOS with shipping and handling. Lordy, it's not done yet. But the fight gets easier since hubby and I are together now.

    How's everybody?

  7. Brothers and sisters I am back in the loop!!! I am sorry for being MIA there for a while. The net connection here at hubby's is not the best. We live in the country and the net companies have not made it to this part yet.

    Anyway, we're tying the know on June 27, 2009. Wish you could all come! LOL

    How's everybody? Aaron and I are doing all the wedding preps as much as we can with very little time. My wonderful in-laws are more than helpful with taking care of me and my daughter and helping us through with the wedding and countless other things. I thank God every time. All these are too humbling I can't ask for more.

    Oh wait... There is more... AOS, Green card, and all the others!
