You can go back to school and obtain your teaching credential. Having a math background is very helpful, as they are always looking for math teachers. You can bring your transcripts to a college and have them review it, to see what courses you would need to take for a credential. You might need only education courses and psych courses, if you have enough math. School Districts like to hire people who have real world experience in their field, so they encourage such people to go into teaching.

Yep, you need the course-by-course credential evaluations, general evaluation is not enough. They used it in licensing and continuing education if you want a teaching credential.

what website did u use for your evaluation reports? ECE.ORG OR IERF.ORG?

Congrats on your approval!

When are you moving?

Thanks,will probably be moving in a few months.Maybe will see you at Disneyland:)

Hope you stay in touch.

We wanna thank everybody for their help and support especially (Penquin) her situation was just like ours.We saved $3,000 by doing it ourselves.(what the american law firm in manila wanted)

Thanks again and goodluck to everyone...

We didn't notarise it, the USC just signed it.

Thanks Penguin..

Hi,do you know, if the letter of explanation of not filling income taxes needs to be notarized?

If the Republic of PI is OK with your marriage, no CO at a US consulate will think any differently....

Well I think so, and I believe that is their policy. To get marriage license in your residence and that is what we did, but the thing is the venue, is different as we wanted something private and outdoor. For me, if we got a marriage license in town where we had the real ceremony, that is kinda lying as neither me nor my husband lives there. So I really hope it won't be a problem.

we have on the same boat... we got married here in makati but in our marriage cert.(place of marriage)sta.mesa manila...hope it will not be a problem during my interview.I think its just the way it is...

Im ON dec.01 7am

We're both living in Manila,just wondering which address,do i need to use, Manila or USA? as a Sponsor's address

I-864 part 4 INFORMATION ON THE SPONSOR

12.Mailing Address ?

13.Place of Residence ? (if diff.from mailing address)

15.Country of Domicile ?

Thanks for you good info.

A short letter from the USC explaining the lack of returns should be enough, with a reason. Here is what my husband wrote- this was accepted no problem:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am Mr Penguin, Penguin's husband and petitioning sponsor. I did not file an income tax return for the years 2005, 2006 or 2007 because I have not worked during my 3 year residence within the Republic of Ireland. Once I came to Ireland, I was unable to find work and so used savings; I was maintained by my wife upon her income and savings. Since I made no income for these years of any type, I was not required to file an income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service.

Sincerely, Mr Penguin.

Thankyou,Penguin----I have not worked at all the last 6 years,but have received interest on savings,which counts as income. Luckily(for thispurpose),I only have been getting very little interest earnings---2 to 3 %...during these bad times....and yearly has been no more than 7000$. I guess I will write a very simple letter saying that.. Thanks agn...

what is the reason for not filing tax returns? no income?

I have not worked and therefore, as my income was zero I am not required to file a tax return for this period.

Hi,what should be the format of the letter that explains why for example, there are no tax returns of the petitioner on the I-864?(from 2004 to present)Any ideas?

Thank you...

Thank you.We worried too much that we might get RFE...

Since you filed DCF, you would be living in Manila, so you put the Manila address... Because if you had a US address, you would not be eligible to file DCF....

#39 Name and address of Petitioner--------------????

We're both living in Manila,just wondering which address,do i need to use, Manila or USA? as a petitioner's address.

Thanks,we're waiting for almost a month,they give us 120 days to retrieve our documents,otherwise they will be purged.

Contact the US Embassy where you files for DCF.

We recieved a letter dated Sept.11,2009 stating, approval of relative immigrant visa petition.Today's date is Oct.12,2009 and we have yet to recieve any letter, as to what the next step would be.

We will appreciate any help.

Thanks penguin

You bring it along to the interview.

After i-130 approved ,what was included in the next step ,we were wondering when we submit affidavit of support.

Thanks for your help.

After i-130 approved ,what was included in the next step ,we were wondering when we submit affidavit of support.

Thanks for your help.

Did you submit the I-130 directly to the embassy, with proof that the USC has lived in the Philipines for 6+ months legally? If so, it will automatically be processed as DCF, because non-DCF cases have to be sent by the petitioner to a lockbox in the USA.

Hi,we submitted I-130 directly to the Embassy with all the requirements. My husband has lived in Philippines for 2 and a half years legally.

Thank you guys..I'll put our timeline here very soon...

We submitted I-130 visa petition.

The only thing we are worried about is that we forgot to tell them, that we want to do a DCF. I hope that they realized thats what we want it to do.

Hi. I am from Philippines. My husband is american and i am a filipina.And we are filing DCF in USE Manila. I have some few questions on about filing DCF.

1. What is composed of 1-130 or i mean set of 1-130 to submit to the US emabassy?

2. How much do we have to pay upon submittion of 1-130?

3. After submittion, what is next?

Can u pls help me about the step by step procedure and docs and forms to be submitted and the fees?

have a nice day and God bless!

Go to USEM manila,window 35 and get I-130 forms which is alien petition.You can ask all about the requirements there,they are very helpful.

Filing fee is $355 after you completed your I-130 requirements...

At this point, I would suggest contacting an immigration attorney. If you put "I don't know" I think you are opening a huge can of worms you don't want to open, plus it will likely delay your case significantly. But, if you put no, and their search reveals otherwise, they catch you for lying. Seriously, find an immigration attorney and enlist their help on this one.

What can the LAWYER do? that we can't do??

Hi babypatz,

Usually they ask you to bring the originals and photocopies as well.

They may keep the photocopy if they want for evidence.

Its better to take the Originals to the interview.

Good Luck

Thank you so much for your info...
