document verification and supplemental report

[daisychain 0]

Hi! I went to the Department of Foreign Affairs to apply for a passport. (I lined up as early as 1 a.m.). Anyway, when I finally got to the document verification stage, the DFA officer told me that my place of birth should read, "greenhills, mandaluyong, metro manila" instead of just "greenhills, metro manila" and that I should file a supplementary place of birth report in the mandaluyong city hall and have it certified at the NSO.

We're pursuing both the IR1 and the k3, whichever makes it first to the embassy and I will be sending the documents to my husband. I was just wondering if I should submit my birth certificate and the supplemental report to the National Visa Center (when I submit the DS-230 for the immigrant visa) or if that would be irrelevant? Moreover, I understand that in the k3 process, I would have to pay an NSO document verification fee. When I submit the documents to the US embassy prior to my k3 interview, should I include the supplemental report for the place of birth? I'm afraid that if I don't, my documents might be rejected, even if it's on NSO security paper. Thank you so much!

Looks like you have to have the IR documents verified also.

Document Verification Fee

Applicants whose visa eligibility is dependent upon their marital status (i.e. K-1, K-3, CR-1, IR-1, F-1 and F2-B categories) will normally need to have their documents verified through the National Statistics Office (NSO) before the U.S. Embassy in Manila can issue the visa. Those with a delayed birth or death certificate or only local civil registrar copies of such documents may need to have their documents verified.

In order to avoid unnecessary delay in the visa issuance process, the U.S. Embassy in Manila strongly encourages applicants in the categories mentioned above to pay the document verification fee prior to their immigrant visa interview. Payment can be made through any Metrobank location. The cost of the document verification is PhP 650 per applicant. For specific instructions on how to pay the document verification fee, please click here. If you are unable to pay for the document verification before your immigrant visa interview, you may be asked to pay the fee on the day of your interview. Please note that if you pay on the day of your interview, there will be a delay of one to two weeks in the processing of your application.

You definitely need NSO Certified copies on SECPA and submit it to NVC.

You don't submit anything to USEM prior to your interview for the K3.

If you were late registered you'll need proof you are who your BC says you are.

Okay. So should I have my BC annotated or should I just attach the supplemental report of my place of birth? There is no major discrepancy in my BC. Everything is correct. In the POB report, I just added "mandaluyong" instead of just "greenhills, metro manila". Should I submit the supplemental report to the NVC ?

Also, why should I have my IR documents verified too? DFA is actually the one who required me to submit a supplemental report. Actually, they don't recommend me changing anything on my birth certificate. It's just a supplemental report.
