Hay.. I had trouble with the DMV too. The people here were actually nice about it.. They were going to give me a state ID (I still use my Philippine license, since here I'm allowed to drive on it for a year, unless I get Permanent residence status first), but weren't sure how long it would be valid. They called the Columbus office, and THOSE people said they can't give me one because my passort and visa are in my maiden name (of course.. it's a k1 visa) and my letter from the DHS (NOA) was in my married name (Duh.. i got married), so even if I had the marriage certificate (original!) it doesn't count. The people in the local office were surprised, but.. they had to go with what was said. But at least I didn't pay them yet.

Any of the other AOS people gotten their interview dates yet? Besides Ate Luz? Just got mine today, and I'm *(@^#in scared. Stress levels just skyrocketed! Mainly because I have no idea where to get "evidence". We only have marriage-stuff, a joint bank account, and insurance. No bills, no nothing, because we live with my parents-in-law (but pay them rent) so everything's in their name. Gah. :stress:

Sis Jackie, ano balita sa iyo? Haven't heard from you in a while!

we have our AOS interview on Sept 7th. Best of luck to all the Manila Embassy Thread Alumni who have a upcoming AOS Interview. :thumbs:

Hi sis!!!! We have been very busy lately for doing lots of packing some stuff because we are moving to Las Vegas on Fri. since my hubby got his job transferred there. Supposedly last Aug. 14 is our schedule to move out. However, i got my biometrics schedule for aug.24 therefore we cancelled our original plan. With your encountered at DMV i had the same scenario. One of the reason why we had to drove by to Phil. Embassy at San Francisco (5-6 hrs. driving from south lake tahoe) is for my passport need to be change since one of the DMV officer required it as well as for our joint accounts they want my married name to be appear exactly in my passport. They dont recognize the marriage certificate (sakit sa ulo )! we spent $50 for new passport and $25 report of marriage. One thing that is good for that DMV officer she said she would rather not to take our pay and make everything be in order on our part than to give me temporary ID and turn out wasted in the end. I will still have to wait for my greencard till I am qualified to have license.(Thank God my new passport is done). Goodluck and God Bless to all of us here.

Congrats on getting your interview date!!! I know its stressful to think of an interview, but I know you guys can do it. It's just a matter of gathering the requirements and being confident. Easy!!! :o:lol:

Mir had her biometrics on Aug. 17 and everything went fine. We did not get an interview date yet and hoping maybe to get a transfer to CSC for approval without an interview. :thumbs: Well....we can hope anyway. But if not, we will stress over it like everyone else.....hehehe. I know we will be fine though either way.

Ingat ka!

Is a one-page hand-written and signed medical certification of my private physican, who gave me the 2nd doze of varicella vaccine here in the phils., enough or sufficient to show the civil surgeon for the transcription of my medical records? He indicated therein the date, the dosage and his professional number and details. Do I still need to indicate a photocopy of his professional ID? Does it need to be notarized?

Please give me advice.

thanks.

Does everybody has the "immigration data summary" (IDS) sheet attached in the yellow envelope? I do not have one...I admit that my mom accidentally opened the envelope (but i never looked the content so i wont have a guilt feeling)...so I returned the packet and my visa to the USE on the very next day...they reviewed it again and gave everything back to me a week after...thought that was it...but as ive said, it is just the yellow envelope and my passport/visa..this happened in may but i will only be leaving this sept. i just accidentally saw a forum talking about this IDS...

hmm....

This is only applicable for immigrant visa holders. K-1 is non-immigrant.

Well, as far as I can remember, there's a small yellow envelope attached to my big yellow envelope (the one that you're not supposed to open). It contained some photos, which I assumed the ones we included in our I-129F application. I didn't detach it, not even removed those pictures even though that small envelope was unsealed.
