It is from the day he turned 16 -

They only want to know from 16 going forward. Even if he lived at the same place his whole life, you would enter the month and year when he turned 16

this should auto populate with the correct age at 16

I think you need a police certificate from the country, if you lived there more than 12 months and you were older than the age of 16.

An applicant must obtain a police certificate from the local police authority:

IF you… lived in a different country for more than 12 months

AND… you were 16 years or older at that time

Others who are/were in similar situation should be able to provide more details.

Could you contact the Philippines consulate/embassy from Thailand ? They should be able to get you the PCC.

Others who are/were in similar situation should be able to provide more details.

Could you contact the Philippines consulate/embassy from Thailand ? They should be able to get you the PCC.

Thank you so much! I will call the Philippine Embassy and ask re this matter. Good luck to you! Have a great day! smile.png

Hey, Saylin!

Is the wiki page for EP still up to date?

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Electronic_Processing

1. I ve been reading about DS3032 there. But we are not filling DS3032 now, right? So, replace all the DS3032 with DS260 and DS261?

2. And everything else is the same? We will still send in the OPTIN email for EP AFTER the AOS bill invoiced? And wait for a GOZ number after the GUZ number?

Ive been studying the Montreal page...but finally I ve come to the right page for Chinese beneficiary!!!! And after reading it, feeling a bit confused.

Thanks, Saylin, for the time you put in here! luv.gif

That wiki page is not up to date.

1. DS-260 and DS-261 are online forms.

2. The email you send now is now ENROLL, not OPTIN.

You should probably study my thread on EP for Guangzhou, I have made the necessary updates to it.
