Document verification

[pretty-paris 0]

HI friends .

just another question "(

do we still need to accomplish the document verification thing (metrobank) ?

thank you

Not sure exactly what that is. But I'll say we never had any documents verified at all during our K1 process. We had to go to BDO I think it was, and pay the visa fee, and they need to see your passport. But that was about it.

regarding the fees. my fiance (the us citizen) called NVC for some inquiries . and NVC mentioned that he is excempted of the fee..

is there an excemption with the visa fee? he works at the navy .

Hmm, sorry, no idea on that one. I don't know if that's true. You can't sign up for an appointment without first paying the visa fee at a BDO branch there in the Philippines. So if he is exempt, then I'm not sure how that works. Sorry just don't know enough. But if so, great for you guys!!

The visa fee is $240 paid at BPI bank, you need the MNL # and passport to pay the fee, then you can schedule your interview online. Never heard of anyone being exempt from paying the fee, and many military have been throught this process.

Here is the list of what we did:

After NOA2 AND YOU HAVE YOUR MNL #

(open all of these links then save them to your bookmarks so you have them for easy access)

Embassy:

The DS-156 can be difficult to complete sometimes, if you have issues try a different web browser. I had problems getting it to print with IE8, Chrome, Firefox, finally got it to print using Safari.

When scheduling online with the embassy you need to include the "XX" at the beginning of the passport number, your passport number IS your receipt number.

Priorty Date; this is the date the NOA 2 was approved.

Make sure to print two copies of the interview confirmation page as you will need one for St. Luke's and the other for the embassy.

(don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy)

St. Luke's:

http://www.slec.ph/u...l#required-docs

Preregister at St. Luke's, it saves time when you arrive.

http://www.slec.ph/us/registration/

Have copies of passport bio page, confirmation page from scheduling interview online at embassy, and of course the 2X2 photos.

CFO:

http://www.cfo.gov.p...atid=140#ThirdA

Required documents & "OTHER DOCUMENTS" they ask for at CFO: copies of; CENOMAR, certified birth certificate, bio page of passport, visa page from passport, pictures together, from USC - bio page of passport, birth certificate, divorce decree (if been married before) are the most common. The "other documents" clause can be ANYTHING with those nit-wits at CFO.

** From the Family Code of the Philippines: it's 21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent.

Art. 14. In case either or both of the contracting parties, not having been emancipated by a previous marriage, are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, they shall, in addition to the requirements of the preceding articles, exhibit to the local civil registrar, the consent to their marriage of their father, mother, surviving parent or guardian, or persons having legal charge of them, in the order mentioned. Such consent shall be manifested in writing by the interested party, who personally appears before the proper local civil registrar, or in the form of an affidavit made in the presence of two witnesses and attested before any official authorized by law to administer oaths. The personal manifestation shall be recorded in both applications for marriage license, and the affidavit, if one is executed instead, shall be attached to said applications. (61a)

Art. 15. Any contracting party between the age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be obliged to ask their parents or guardian for advice upon the intended marriage. If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not be issued till after three months following the completion of the publication of the application therefor.A sworn statement by the contracting parties to the effect that such advice has been sought,together with the written advice given, if any, shall be attached to the application for marriage license. Should the parents or guardian refuse to give any advice, this fact shall be stated in the sworn statement.
