correction of entry

[franksonb 0]

Does anyone here have same case, about my birth certificate? I have changes on it is done in the court during 1994 but the remarks of my birth certificate there is still lacking so on June 13, 2007 I went there in NSO Quezon City and personally explained to them whats written on the court order. I got the correct remarks my birth certificate after explaining to them personally.When I tried to get another copy on December 2007, I found out the remarks is not yet recorded in the new copy I received. Because of my worries I ask a lawyer to accompany me in the office of the NSO here in Cebu. i talked to the director she said, not to worry about it, because if someone will verify its already in their file.

I am worried now if it can cause problem in the verification of my documents. What I'm going to do, if they will deny my visa? How do I know what are the causes of denial? It is about 3 working days now ( Feb. 7, 2007 interview date) after my interview. I have already paid the delbros after my interview.

Three days is not enough reason for you to be this worried. It is always a good sign whenever you paid for Delbros after the interview. You just got to give it a little more time. Did you try checking your status with Delbros website? I'll be worried if it's been 3 weeks or so and no visa yet because that means you are in AR.

Relax and take it easy. And BTW, you won't be denied just because there's discrepancy with your name. Delayed, yes, but not totally denied.

For cases with problem documents (I also have undergone court procedures 1994 for my BC and everytime I request a copy from NSO, they still have my old BC), the NSO will not have copy of the annotated documents. For this cases, the applicant should go to the LCR and request for an endorsement letter with the new BC and the court's decision. LCR will forward these documents to NSO and will also send a copy to the applicant. When the applicant received the endorsement letter, he/she need to go to NSO (Vibal bldg, cor. EDSA not the MAin NSO in QC) to apply for the annotated document. He/she will be asked to go to the 2nd floor (or the area which her LCR is assigned), if they already have received the copy from LCR, he/she will be asked to go to the 1st floor and wait for her "unconverted copy" of the annotated document. At this point, request for more than 1 copy since their data base will not have the annotated forms. Ms. Hufana (I think she's the Asst. Director for region 3) told me annotated/problem documents usually gets into their system after 5 years or so. So this will cause problems when the applicant will try to get a copy, since they will still be getting the old documents without the annotation.

LCR don't forward documents (annotated) unless the applicant requests one, especially for those with correction of entry. Hope this info helps.

You may not have time, but it will be better to have it done while you're still in the Philippines and have your documents properly corrected and annotated, since you maybe needing it for future use. When I was at NSO, I requested for 3 copies.

Good Luck!

oh dear! i have exactly the same problem on my BC. i already filed a petition for the correction of entry on my name in the BC in the LCRO in Cebu City. The registrar said it will take max 3 months to have the NSO file updated. Based on your experience, seems like the NSO file doesn't really get corrected until after 5 years! Gosh the system here in the Philippines really sucks!! To think that this error was also made by the clerk in the city hall and now we, the victims, have to correct the error they made and we have to suffer all the consequences!!! It really sucks!!!

I guess the only thing we have on our side now is prayers. Let us just pray for a miracle that the USE will approve our fiance visa application despite these discrepancies. Anyway we have done our part in correcting the name on the BC, so maybe they might consider that? I still prayers can move mountains......so let's jsut pray.

Yes the Philippine systems suck, but you dont have to wait 5 years. After the LCR sends corrected docs to NSO main, you can go there in person and get copies of the new annotated BC. The issue is if you want to get your BC copies from one of the regional nso offices, many times, they will not have the annotated version available. So you should take Helen's good advise and get many copies when you go to NSO manila.
