How did you order it, and when did you order it? I got one for my wife and the whole process was convoluted at best but we got it within 2 weeks.

Are you asking about the birth certificate?

I did two things:

1. Ordered Online through https://ecensus.com.ph/default.aspx - paid $20 using my credit card and then I set up an account with FedEx. I emailed Ecensus my FedEx account. I received my BC all the way from the Philippines within 5 business days! I highly recommend this method, very efficient and Ecensus were very responsive.

2. The same day I ordered online, I also contacted an agency here in Toronto, it's called GINO. Paid $50. Mega Fail. I still have not received my BC from them.

MY NOA2 WAS APPROVED APRIL 30. I have my official notice arriving in the mail today. No email, the app doesn't have an update and the new website still showed that we were waiting as of last night. This morning it was updated.
 

I'm so dizzy I don't know what I'm supposed to do next. YOU GUYS WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NEXT? omg. We're approved. It took 319 days from NOA1.

Thank goodness. I am so happy for you!

You are lucky sir because ecensus is no longer accepting credit card payments through their system and they will NOT accept payment through BDO if you are trying to use your dollar account in BDO. So me and another poster in the Philippines subforum had to figure out a way to get it for my wife. The following is what we what had to do just to get a BC.

 

1. Order it on Ecensus

2. Send him money through paypal

3. He paid for it through his BDO peso account and it was sent to my SIL in Mindanao.

4. SIL got it about a week later.

5. SIL sent it out through DHL a day after receiving it.

5. We received about 4 days after she sent it out through DHL.

 

 

All in all it took 2 weeks to do it that way, but luckily we had it in time for a Consular Outreach they had here in NC.

I have officially changed my name! Mark and I are over the moon. We started the paperwork for AoS and will hopefully send it off within the next two weeks! I can't believe we are finally to this point of the process.

 

Mark and I got married in Louisville on April 14th. My family from Alabama traveled up, along with my best friend who is from central FL. My childhood pastor officiated the wedding. It was small and simple. Just like we wanted. 

 

I still check in daily on you all. <3 

That is awesome.  Congratulations!

So did I just make in time before they stopped accepting Credit Card Payments? If so, then I thank my lucky stars! LOL!  I ordered online on April 11, got my BC April 18.

This April or last April? If it was this April then you are extremely lucky because that means they just fixed it because it was down previously before that. Hey @Hank look they must of fixed ecensus after me and you spent a month trying to sort everything out.

Wow! I am greatly astonished and grateful for such good luck!

Literally almost 2 weeks after I requested my wife's BC and it was broken. Glad it worked out for you so easily and I am also glad that they are working on something this big.

Good afternoon from Maryland. 🤩😍

Was pretty straightforward getting me through passport control. Took longer to get Ed, my cat, cleared. 

Landed at about 6pm local time, got home at 1130pm. 

May the 4th tomorrow. Our day. His sister is going to be our witness then it's off out for a celebration meal. Doing nothing fancy. This process has killed our wallets so just a courthouse job for us. It's the same piece of paper and means the world to us.

 

I can't believe it's finally happening.
