mga sis question po.... i know that you have to submit your NSO birth certificate pag nag aayos na ng papers, right?

Pano pag yung name ko sa birth certificate is different from the name that im using right now? ang pinagamit kasi sa kin ng parents ko is yung nilagay nila sa baptismal certificate ko instead.

What are the proofs that I need to show the immigration that Iam indeed one and the same person? I have with me my baptismal certificate and an affidavit of identification that my dad signed..okay na ba yun o may kailangan pa?

In such case, iaalow ba nila na yung ginagamit ko ng name ngayon ang gamitin ko or they will use the name i have on my birth certificate which would be hard for me kasi lahat ng docs ko is under my baptismal name?

Many thanks.

THanks

hi misao, have you resolved your issue already? we have a similar predicament. I don't know who to listen to... the visa bulletin or the USCIS processing timetable. I received na kasi my approval letter from USCIS saying to wait for the intructions on what to do next in the next 90 days... pero wala pa ko sa cut-off date ng visa bulletin. So im so confused. :(


sis chineck ko sa visa bulletin, under philippines category f2b june '97 pa lang. f2b kasi ako eh oct 2001 priority date ko. i'm not sure. tama ba? first time ko lang makita kagabi kasi may email akong nareceive from the atty. kaya nagulat ako. kasi kung ganun mga 2013 pa sa kin. naku nasa 30's na ko nun! 21 pa lang ako naghihintay na ko. :(

anong category ba pag yung parent pinetition ng usc na anak? wala kasi sa visa bulletin. yung sa mother ko naman yun. mabilis kaya? nitong july lang sya na-petition ng kapatid ko. pero wala pa ata syang nareceive. thanks!

misao

^Sabi ng dad ko baka makaalis na ako this year kasi he already paid for the AOS and IV fee last month. Nag-fill up na rin ako ng DS-230 form. Last check ko sa visa bulletin last year pa ata sa binigay na link nung isang sis natin dito. Ilang months din hindi nagbago nasa Feb 2005 pa rin. Nung chineck ko sa
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do
sabi May 2005 pa na-approve pero may narereceive naman akong papers like yung sa CSPA and last nga yung DS-230 Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration. Sunod na ata dito yung packet IV, medical then interview? Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Wow buti ka pa. May I ask what you priority date is?
And are you in petition for immigrant status of unmarried child over 21 by a permanent resident or immigrant?

yun din kasi petition ko unmarried child over 21 by a parent who is an immigrant also. pero according to the VISA BULLETIN: sa case natin, philippine processing of visa number is still at december 1997.

hi sis, what's f2b category? is that unmarried child over 21 of immigrant parent? may tatanong sana ako kung may alam ka about this case...

yung mom ko pinetition yung sis ko as f2b category. last year ang processing time for that category ay January 1, 2005. Ngayon, May 8, 2001 na. ano ba yan! paurong. California Service Center ang sa amin. :(

gusto ko tuloy i-citizen na si mommy, kase dati sabi if permanent citizen mas mabilis ipetition yung anak. which was true then. Last year kase April 30, 2001 ang F1. Ngayon halos magkadikit na. August 1, 2001 na ngayon.

whats the status of your sister's case?

2007 ang priority date ng sis ko. walang other status other than the initial step. pero maski the sched shows 2005 pa o 1997, i'm giving our wait to less than 10 years. kase if you back read, most of our sisses who were under f2b waited for almost 10 years bago makarating talaga sa US. so hopefully hanggang 10 years lang talaga ang waiting period.

kelan mo ba natanggap yung letter?

ive been waiting for 4 years pa lang. 2005 priority date ko and my mom, the petitioner received the approval letter from uscis a few days ago. ang weird nga is when i checked back sa timetable ng uscis bumalik to 2001 yung f2b!!! ang labo nila pramis.

ganyan din ang sister ko, under f2b sya, 2005 din I think ang priority date nya...e 32yrs old na sya ngayon, e sympre by the time na maging current ang visa e nakapag-asawa na sya..kaya parang dapat hindi na lang naifile e, instead, sana nagtourist na lang sya..e kapag ganun pa naman na approved na yun petition e maliit na ang chance na makapagtourist kasi nasa system na nila yun name nya, so baka madeny lang sya...ewan ko din lang nowadays na recession sila, baka naman maluwag sa embassy...

lalo naman super tagal kung ako pa ang magpepetition sa sister ko, e andito pa nga ako e, under f2a naman ako at hopefully this year e makasunod na kami ni baby sa hubby ko...e kung ako ang hihintayin e more than 15yrs ang waiting nya and that is kapag nakapagcitzen pa ko...

ewan ko lang sis nowadays..kasi di ba pag approve na yun petition, nasa system na nila yun, so pag nag apply ka, aspiring immigrant ka na, so you have to prove to them na babalik ka pa rin dito

ang alam ko kapag renewal, you have to undergo to the same process again, interview ulit sa consul..

i don't think you will have to wait for long given na meron ka na palang letter to wait for further instructions within the next 90 days. i think tuloy-tuloy na yan.

kami naman nagiging realistic lang. nagset na lang kami ng limit ng 10 years nga although baka naman shorter ang processing talaga. would you believe yung sa mom and dad ko eh inabot ng 20 years ang waiting period? eh kase yung sister ng dad ko ang nagpetition. i forgot kung anong category yun.

nakaka-lose na rin talaga ng patience. lalo na't gusto ko na nga sanang gawing citizen ang mom ko. kaso dahil nga sa petition na ito ay stuck muna siya as gc muna. sayang lang talaga kase sana the moment na dumating sina mommy dito sa US ay sana nagfile na agad siya ng petition sa sis ko. sayang yung oras :(

yun nga, a lawyer told my sister, na although may letter na ko of approval with may 90 day notice, ang masusunod pa rin is yung visa bulletin schedule which is 1997. so ayun nakakalungkot dahil akala ko go na ko within a year, tapos i found out about that bulletin. ang layo ng 1997 sa 2005!!! step 1 lang daw yung letter. ang labo diba. well i do pray na tuloy-tuloy na yan kahit mukhang impossible. :(

i agree with you. pagdating ng mom ko sa u.s. it took her 4 years bago nya ako pinetition. sayang nga ang oras. 4 years din yun.

hay naku mga sis...makapag-share lang.  ako naman very hesitant ngayon na dumating na yung appointment namin for interview. after 18 years of waiting, eto na. from f1 napunta ng f3 nung nag-asawa ako. march 23 na sana interview namin ng family kaso I asked for a re-schedule kasi meron kaming bagong additional derivative (my newborn daughter) and I still have to prepare all her documents like DS230, AOS and the supporter's Federal Income Tax, etc.  buti na lang madali lang magpa-reschedule through the Visa Information Service, medyo mahal nga lang dahil 55 pesos per minute.

why am I hesitant?  kasi nga ang hirap daw talaga makakuha ng work ngayon dun because of the recession....sa san diego ang punta namin.  considering that my husband and I will be with 3 kids, nakakaworry talaga.  haay naku talaga,  dati hoping kami na mapabilis ang petition, ngayon naman nandito na wishing kami na humaba pa ang pag-process namin para mas maayos na sana pag punta namin doon. 

anyways, faith na lang ang panangga namin just in case.  we'll go where the Lord leads us and we know di Niya kami pababayaan. yun lang po. :)

yun nga din sabi sa kin dito ng ilang relatives ko, wag daw muna ako magmadali umalis dahil recession pa sa America..hopefully late this year kami makaalis ni baby..hindi kagad daw ako makakahanap ng work dun

e sa kin naman, hindi naman work lang ang ipinunta ko dun, syempre for us to be together finally after 4years of waiting...para naman sumaya na ang asawa ko dun at hindi na mahomesick...although yearly naman umuuwi sya..

naiinip na rin ako nga sa waiting kaya heto, medyo work pa rin kahit pinapastop na uli ako ni hubby...

anyway...kahit ba derivative need na magsubmit ng DS-230? kasasubmit lang ni hubby ng birth cert sa NVC para sa addl derivative, who is our son nga....

sis cha,  sabi kasi sa kin nung kausap ko sa Visa Information Service dito sa atin nung nagpa-reschedule ako kailangan dalhin ko during the interview yung  lahat ng documents na nasa checklist nung letter na pinadala sa akin para sa additional derivative ko.  dun included yung ds230, financial evidence (aos) and birth cert.

actually ayaw na nga ng hubby ko sana tumuloy kaya lang sabi ko sayang naman ang opportunity lalo na for our kids.  pray na lang talaga ako na sana worth it ang pag-give-up namin ng sarap ng buhay dito sa pinas.  kaya nga sana i-grant ng office yung 3 months na leave ng husband ko just to try kung me work for him doon and if ever wala he can still go back to his work, ganun din sa akin.

by the way saang state kayo if ever?

ganun ba? nun nag inquire naman ako sa kanila, kelangan naman na isubmit or ifax ko lang yun birth cert ni baby before the interview para maisama sa sa pag alis....nag-inquire naman si hubby ko sa NVC  sa US thru email at ang reply sa kanya e mag provide ng birth cert ng addl derivative..hindi ko rin lang alam kung me separate DS230 din si baby

sa California kami..andun hubby ko and his family.

si hubby ko naman, sympre, with no 2nd thoughts, lipad kagad sa US, he's working as a Civil Engr here..kasi syempre a brighter future is awaiting there..at first mahirap, rank and file position nya dun at syempre, hindi nya talaga linya..pero now, okay na ang position nya although hindi pa rin nya linya pero at least he's earning well

im an Ind'l Engr naman dito pero I stopped for a while for our baby. more than 2yrs din akong naging SAHM, then nun nabored ako, habang naghihintay sa petition, nagtry ako sa call center...e yun nga at present, employed pa rin ako sa call center, a.m. shift..pangtanggal inip lang...

actually nung pina-add ko si bebe sa NVC yung birth certificate lang hiningi nila sa akin, thru email ko na lang nga sinend. pero sa interview yung mga documents na yun nga daw ang dalhin ko.  same documents din send namin sa kanila noong pina-process pa lang papers namin.  each derivative same number of documents.  tapos prepare daw $400.00 for the processing fee.  me binanggit din yung nakausap ko na since yung binayaran namin noon na processing fee is less than the $400.00 fee ngayon(nakabayad na kasi kami before pa nagtaas ng $400), magdadagdag daw kami. teka, parang me nabasa ako noon sa embassy site na di kailangan magdagdag ah...balikan ko nga...

my husband is an electrical engineer naman. worry lang niya baka wala daw cyang magandang trabahong makuha eh dito sa pinas okay na okay work niya. sabi pa naman ng sister ko, who is based in san diego california na cya naming pupuntahan,  eh super nga raw hirap ng buhay ngayon dun.  california daw is one of the most affected state re: recession.  hirap daw talaga hanap work dahil nagtatanggalan nga. ako naman, sigurado magbabantay lang muna ng mga anak lalo pa nga at meron kaming 3 month old bebe.  san ba kayong part ng california?

sa Oceanside CA sis,malapit lang yun sa San Diego, minsan dun namamalengke sila, dun sa Seafood City ata yun

mahirap talaga magdecide kung san ka mas may brighter future, lalo at ang hubby mo naman is earning well dito tapos napapractice nya yun profession nya dito...baka manibago lang sya sa work dun..si hubby ko kasi syempre, sya na lang ang natira dito kaya no choice sya kundi sumunod sa family nya..

anyway, naghihintay pa kami ng notification from NVC kung kelan magsasubmit ng DS230 at AOS. hindi pa rin kasi citizen si hubby kaya medyo matatagalan pa ng konti  kasi maghihintay pa kami ng priority date na maging current dito...
