Hi Daisy,

I dont think SLEC will require you to present the report made by your psychologist. That is not necessary.You can always refuse to present it unless it is with your consent and with the consent of your psychologist. Should they force you,then a court order is a requisite.Besides, had they plan to use that report then they will not require you to see their psychologist. They will conduct their own independent evaluation and assessment. Just be prepared for some questions which they may raise during the process.

Who would have thought that after the annulment ordeal that one has to go through, then SLEC will somehow give the beneficiary another nightmare. My annulment process took 5 years and all the emotions and anxieties attached to it make it a dreadful experience.

Im looking for a legal article abt psychological incapacity(i read it before) that i know will make you feel better and confident but cant find it.should i find it,promise will post it for you.

I understand what you feel. Just stay calm and focused during the process. You will pass it. GO GIRL!!!

Hi,

My previous marriage was annulled on the ground of psychological incapacity and my ex husband was declared psychologically incapacitated. I havent undergone yet the medical exams and interview.

I believe there was nothing wrong nor was it you fault that you told them the truth. Guess it is part of the assessment of the beneficiary's health status not only physically but also to determine one's psychological and mental health.

Being psychologically incapacitated as ground for annulment under the Civil Code of the Philippines does not mean one is insane. we both know that.

I have undergone the psychiatric evaluation which lasted for several sessions and took the psychological exams for one whole day as part of the evaluation conducted by the psychiatrist and psychologist for them to render an expert opinion on my psychological capacity and that of my ex husband. It was really tough and heartbreaking .

I know it will be another ordeal for you since you will go through this psychiatric and psychological evalation again. Just keep the faith and go take the psychological evaluation that SLEC requires.

Will be praying for you. Remember this "Even the falling of leaves has its own reason".

Hi MikeinWyoming,

Oops sorry about the above, i clicked the wrong button. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Thanks a lot. I really enjoyed reading your blogs. Its informative and helped me a lot specially with this NBI Certificate.

After my experience with the NSO and now with the NBI, i just wanted to make sure that the NBI has provided me with the correct one which i will present to the embassy soon. May i know for those who had an annulment and secured an NBI certificate, how does the a.k.a appear ? please refer to the choices:

1. A.K.A ( ex husband's surname ) (my first name ) y (my mother's surname name prior to her marriage to

to my dad)

or

2. A.K.A ( ex husband's surname ) ( my First name ) y ( my father's surname)

Your comment and help will be very much appreciated.

Hi,

If done correctly it should be #2. In our case the Consular Officer wrote out that she wanted to see it as #1! probably because she was confused. I think if the original one we handed in had an AKA as #2 she would not have rejected it. Either way - I suspect the Embassy will accept it. It is a game - korek ka dyan - the NBI does not pick up the name on the background check - so that value of the listing is meaningless.

Good luck!

Hi guys, has anyone of you here ever secure an NBI Certificate after a change of name due to an annulment of marriage?

Here is my experience. My previous marriage was annulled and immediately thereafter, i filed for change of my surname from the surname of my ex husband to my maiden name. The different government agencies as well as my records of employment effected the change and i was issued the new IDs.

I went to the NBI office and ask how will i apply for an NBI Certificate with my new status.I was advised by the staff of the NBI to pay 2 applications, one using my maiden name and one using my ex husband's surname. Since it was already 11am and it was the cut off time, so was advised to come back at 1pm. Upon my return i went to the cashier and informed her that im requesting for 2 NBI certificates, one for my maiden name and one using my ex husband's surname. The cashier told me that i just have to apply for one NBI certificate and the form has a column for me to fill out my husband's name. I asked her " In that case, then the NBI Certificate will show my name using the ex husband's surname, which should not be the case. I want an NBI certificate with my maiden name in it, however, before i was using my ex husband's surname." She said i apply and pay only for one.

I was confused with what i heard, and so i filled out the forms and then used my maiden name. Of course, i was able to secure an NBI in my maiden name.

Days later, i read the blog of MikeinWyoming about his fiancee's NBI Certificate and all the intricacies and bureaucracies of securing it. Thanks to him, I learned that my NBI certificate has to bear my previous married name as A.K.A.

I went back to NBI and wrote on the column for alias/previous name, my complete previous name. To my surprise, when i claimed my NBI certificate, it does not show any alias or my previous name. So i talked to NBI staff again and he said "You didnt tell us that you want your alias to appear."

I told him " I filled out the column for alias/previous name"

He said " we just picked up the data on the first name and surname"

I replied " In that case, my filling out the column for alias/previous name is useless at all if you have not check it."

He answered "No, its not useless, we will change your certificate". And i was advised to come back after 10 days.Good thing i was no longer required to pay for the new certificate.

Today, i went to NBI and finally have my NBI certificate in my maiden name with an A.K.A /alias.

After my experience with the NSO and now with the NBI, i just wanted to make sure that the NBI has provided me with the correct one which i will present to the embassy soon. May i know for those who had an annulment and secured an NBI certificate, how does the a.k.a appear ? please refer to the choices:

1. A.K.A ( ex husband's surname ) (my first name ) y (my mother's surname name prior to her marriage to

to my dad)

or

2. A.K.A ( ex husband's surname ) ( my First name ) y ( my father's surname)

Your comment and help will be very much appreciated.

Guys, you are all right. what a bizarro world. only in the philippines!!

Hi everyone! has anyone heard of two records of birth of same person?

In 2002, i requested for my birth certificate from the NSO and find out that i have no record. I have a copy of the form IA which was issued by the civil registrar where i was born. I was instructed to request the local civil registrar to forward the record of birth to NSO which i did. After several months, i received a copy of my birth certificate in NSO security paper. From that time on, i have requested copies of the birth certificate and there had not been any problem at all.

Last August 2009, i requested for 3 copies of my birth certificate from NSO. I was shocked when i received the birth certificates coz the entries were hardly readable at all. My first birth certificate issued by NSO in 2002 was typewritten and it was an exact copy of the form IA, however this one is an exact copy of the birth certificate which was handwritten and cant even read the first name. Family name is even mispelled, however, the entry as to birth date and birthplace and names of parents were the same.and my mom was the informant in the birth certificate however, her name is mispelled. The next day i came back with the photocopies of the birth certificates i had requested from NSO in 2002 and 2004. I asked for a remedy to be able to get the correct birth certificate. i was told that i should request the local civil registar where i was registered/born for a consolidation of records. My birth place is in luzon while at present am in mindanao.

I made another trip to NSO to check again and request that they open my file coz there might be some errors. I was told that the latest birth certificate which was not legible will prevail because its the exact copy of original birth cert form while the one issued by NSO in 2002 was just an exact copy of the form IA. I was told i cannot request for a consolidation either. So i was given two exactly conflicting remedies.dont know what to do. I was really disappointed coz if this is the case , then i need to apply for a correction of entry coz the family name was mispelled. I requested that they open again my files and check coz there is a chance that the 2 records does not refer to one and the same person. But they didnt grant my request. Another trip and was denied my request.

For the 6th trip to NSO, I asked them to open the files and check it coz i will not give up till they do what i am requesting.The latest record that they gave to me the birthdate was same as mine(1968) however, it was registered only in 1970 while the first that NSO gave to me the birth was registered in 1968 which was my birthyear. I carefully studied the two birth records and pointed the flaws. told then if it was really my mom who signed that birth certificate then she should know the correct spelling of her name and her birth place( i have a marriage contract and other records of my mom).I made a careful explanations of my predicament. At last they did as i requested. they opened the files and saw that there was indeed two records however, since the first record was registered in 1968 then it prevails.presto they printed the 1968 record of birth.

It was a relief that i finally got the correct copies of my birth certificate. By the way, my mom told me that it was my dad who signed my birth certificate as informant and not her so that second record of birth does not refer to me.Wheewww!!! I dont know how it happened.

what are you or your kids going to be this year?

My daughter will be a fairy and my son will be one of those orange haired anime he loves to watch, while i will be the whitewitch.

Im just wondering if she was able to secure a new school ID (year 2009) which was issued by the school then it means that she has records with the school and thus, she can request for a school transcript or form 137 from her school. Then why not request for a school records/form 137/ school transcript and present it to DFA. Another thing, if she graduated from highschool , even if she didnt buy a yearbook,but maybe the school has a copy of it or maybe her classmates bought one. Am sure coming from small place,where almost everyone knows everybody then she can get a copy or borrow yearbook from her classmates

When i secured passports of my children, there was one lady who was asked if she graduated from highschool and she answered yes. Then the DFA staff asked her to bring a copy of the yearbook. I was thinking "are they out of their minds, why would they ask for a yearbook. and when i read your post, i said " never thought a yearbook is now a means of identification.

I know how frustrating it is at this time.

Here's the problem -- my fiancee lost her ONLY "old" ID, which was her school ID, and as far as we can tell, doesn't have any other old identifying documents! She doesn't have an old school transcript (or school form 137), and she never bought a school yearbook! So how can she obtain an "old" form of ID if she doesn't have any?

Hope to see you there too, God willing. best wishes to all of us :)

Hi, my marriage was annulled. I changed my surname to my maiden name however, my children retained their surnames. With a copy of the court order , finality, annotated marriage contract and letter request/ or the forms for change of name, i applied with the different government agencies like the PRC,GSIS,HDMF, Philhealth, my employer and all other institutions i have business with, for a change of name. The PRC issued the new license after 3 months,the HDMF made the changes right there and then, all other agencies effected the change in a matter of month. The NBI clearance and passport were also issued in my new name. I even secured a SOLO PARENT ID from the DSWD to show proof of my relationship with my children who has different surname from mine(of course, thats aside from their birth certificates).

Hi,

My fiancee has 2 children and an annulled marraige. We wants to change her name back to her maiden name for the visa process

but leave the children with their fathers last name. Will that cause a problem in the K1/K2 process?

What is the experience/advice of forum members with regard to name differences between the mother and children?

A

Nothing,the only difference is that,they will have different last names .I also had my 1st marriage got null and void,I went to DFA to have my last name on my passport be changed from married to single again. My son and I had different last names,it never had any effect during the K1/k2 process,neither at our point of entry.

good luck.

hello, i am processing my case too, and after this, my name will be change again in my single name and my son bcoz my case is null and void too... sooo happend that the father's name registered in my son's bc is the wrong name too of his father, so my son will be in my maiden's name too....

How long did it take for the name change?

Hi, goodluck on that. we got our NOA2 last week. May I know how to check our case online on NVC?

Thanks

Thanks God that she is ok. I got in touch with one of my cousins in Rizal, and she is ok, however, i havent heard a word yet from my other cousins and relatives. According to news, looks like 2 more typhoons coming..this is really terrible.

Hi I copy pasted this from the USCIS website. what is required is you two must have met at least once for the last 2 years.

"Eligibility Requirements

If you petition for a fiancé(e) visa, you must show that:

* You (the petitioner) are a U.S. citizen.

* You intend to marry within 90 days of your fiancé(e) entering the United States.

* You and your fiancé(e) are both free to marry and any previous marriages must have been legally terminated by divorce, death, or annulment.

* You met each other, in person, at least once within 2 years of filing your petition. There are two exceptions that require a waiver:

1. If the requirement to meet would violate strict and long-established customs of your or your fiancé(e)’s foreign culture or social practice.

2. If you prove that the requirement to meet would result in extreme hardship to you."

Hope this will help.

I know how it feels to not be able to get a word from a dear one, specially that there is a real big typhoon where she is. I have relatives from Rizal and was trying to get in touch with them. Should i hear abt San Mateo,Rizal, i will inform you. Im sure she is all worried now that she cant contact you too.
