NVC FILERS - FOR October - 2010

[IndigoSkies 168]

Just talked with NVC and was told that they still did not received our AOS Packet are they kidding me??? I had it overnighted to them I was hoping for some good news before the weekend...maybe I will call them later after dinner.

They surely have received it. It's just not in the system. I sent my AOS nine days ago. And it's still not in the system. They keep saying it might take two weeks. I'm on day 10 now. So don't expect anything for at least a week. I'm just setting your expectation correctly.

Tom,

NSO Marriage Certificate and CEMAR are the same thing. (CENOMAR is a Certificate of No Marriage, which is needed for fiancee visas.)

Jon

I think that there is a difference.

CEMAR - ours is white & was issued by the Civil Registrar Office.

NSO - green in color & issued by the NSO office.

I'm doin fine. Thanks for asking. No updates to report. I have spoken to my wife and I think I crushed her. Not intentionally but just by my forceful nature. I know when I was in PI everyone though I was Strict. I though they were lackadaisical. I got a bunch of I am trying my best and I am sorry but its not my fault and that's not what I want to hear. She basically made an assumption and didnt do, due diligence prior to going to the embassy. She was told by me to have original and to double check and all that Jazz. Now she is paying the price. I hope she learns form this and I hope we get the VISA in hand before Dec 1 which is her scheduled flight date.

I sent an Email to the Embassy in Manila yesterday regarding my situation and asking them if they got the Marriage Doc from NSO. I got the Auto response. Does anyone know if the Embassy response to emails directly? If so how long does it usually take them?

I am sort of stuck cause I cant do anything from here really. I sent my wife an email and told her she needs to call the Embassy on Monday and if they dont have here NSO Marriage Doc. Then she needs to go to Manila and hand deliver is ASAP. For those from the Philippines are NSO Copies of Marriage the same as CENOMAR's. I saw in an earlier post someone saying something to that effect. I dont think they are the same but what do I know.

Enjoy the Weekend I have a bottle of Jack calling me...

Tom, Hopefully this will all be sorted out quickly and your wife will get her visa. In a way, this was a blessing in disguise. Sometimes, learning a lesson the hard way really ensures a genuine change in the way we do things in the future! I wish you both the best!

Thanks Jon but she is not my fiancee. She is my wife. Guess everyone needs it. I am hopeful we will get this resolved or completed in time to get her the VISA. Fingers Crossed...

Yep I know. I was distinguishing between CE**NO**MAR (Certificate of no marriage) and CEMAR (Certificate of Marriage.)

Basically, what you want is the NSO copy, the civil registrar's copy isn't given much credence, in my experience. For example, when we worked on our son's US Passport in the Phils at the US Embassy, the civil copy would have been worthless; only the NSO copy was considered worthy....

solteq, glad you are waiting for interview date and had SIF yesterday

Holly cow, One operator told me yesterday not to call today, but to call on Monday. Out of curiosity, I picked up the phone and dialed NVC#. Less than 7 tries I got the line. Since I wanted to pee badly (bladder was full!), I hit option 1 - Haiti line :-) Immediately an operator connected me. After basic data feed, he didn't ask me "how can I help you, Sir". Instead, he told me your case is forwarded to Chennai (Madras) Consulate and you will hear the interview date soon. I asked when was that forward. Reply was today!

I checked DHL site and it is left NVC building and Chennai will get it next Thursday

Thanks for clarifying it Jon. I didn't know the difference. Darn Acronyms... But I certainly do now expecially after she got bite by it. She should have gotten another one when the one she had was taken because of the Passport renewal but she didnt.

NOW There is a positive twist. I hope your right... Thanks I think once my wife gets here I am going to go back and have her read and relive all of this... just as a refresher...
