Fitting Philippines into the alloted space

[RobertDski 3]

I am having trouble figuring out how to post on the Philippine portal; so I will throw this out:

1. On the i-130, Section B #2 asks for state/country-Cebu/Philippines will not fit

2. Some say use abbreviations like the common Ph. or the three-letter Phl. but I do not want to run the risk

3. Can I print all but the pHilippines and hand write it in? That owuld work

4. Cebu is technically a province not a state; do I need it at all?

5. Basically do not want to make a mistake especially since I have to deal with Manila not Cebu

6. Our appointment with USCIS to file DCF is June 4

Thanks RobertDski

As what I have read, it's okay to write it as long as its legible. Good luck!

You can write it by hand or type or a mix. BTW, cebu is the city like Cebu city. It isn't a province.

We typed in abbreviations due to all would not fit in certain places, we typed full name of city but typed Pang, Phil for Pangasinan, Philippines and we had no problem. But we may have gotten lucky.

Cebu City is a city in the province of Cebu. Just like Tarlac City is a city in the province of Tarlac

Oh sorry my bad. I was thinking of the region when referring to a state. Thank you for the correction. Just put tue zipcode if you won't put the province for the state blank area

I filed DCF and I put Zamboanga City under Town or City and Philippines under State/Country. Had no troubles in Manila.

I did find a fix to the problem-I used Foxit Reader insteadof Adobe-it has typewriter mode and can size down to 8 point, which solved the Philippines problem. It also helps by letting you write letter like "Present Time" where Adobe will not. I also had a great response from the US Embassy to a question I asked on their Facebook page-quicker than e-mail. Will file DCF on June 4 appointment date-can't wait. Robert Dski
