I need some insight on this process.
My daughter and I came in on IR visas. Within the same year of our arrival, my husband decided to adopt her and in July of 2010 the adoption was finalized. She was then issued a US birth certificate showing her new surname as my husband's. Her green cards were amended to reflect the name change. Of course, a certificate of citizenship will still formalize her US citizenship. Meanwhile, we renewed my and her RP passports but hers still carries her birth name (my maiden name), having been told that it can only be changed to her adoptive surname after we file for change of surname in the RP.
Would anybody know how to do this? I was never married to her biological father nor does his name appear in any of her documents. He has never had any contact with her in the 11 years of her existence.
I am going to apply for citizenship this year. Of course, I am aware that once I become a citizen, she does, too. We still want her to have a Philippine passport though, although I am pondering on whether or not this is advantageous for her in the future.

Would've been here 5 years this April 7th. Married 6 years as of December, Got pregnant within the first few weeks of arriving and we now have 3 wonderful kids (yes, my profile pic is outdated).....the youngest, the only boy, was a surprise :-) Our eldest, who left the RP shortly after completing Preparatory level, skipped 1st grade here and is currently in 6th grade. Just as she has excelled in the RP, so has she done the same so far, being a consistently in the honor roll. Hubby and I are both currently working full-time jobs which is a challenge, being that child care is generally expensive and our nearest kin in 4.5 hours away. Thankfully, we found kind and understanding caregivers who love our kids as they love theirs. Just survived a string of birthdays/holidays/ despite a full-time sched. Hoping to make a trip back this spring

God is great !

You'll be able to access it upon receiving your ASC notice for biometrics like what it says on the NOA1...
Alrighty...thanks.
Haven't received the letter addressed to me; just my daughter's.
-
Also, if I have a receipt number, how come it says "case not found" on the site?
-
Got a letter from USCIS addressed to my daughter verifying her as being included as a dependent in my ROC. Notice says her green card's validity has been extended. Is this the NOA1? I have not received mine.
My name appears as "principal alien" and there is a "Principal receipt number".
-
Just about to file for ROC, and a couple of minor items:
Who is/are the "petitioner/s" here? Are we both petitioners? Is it still only the USC who is petitioning on behalf of the alien, or, as we are "filing this petition together"(as per the wording on I-751) can we say we are both petitioners? Seems like such a silly point, but I don't want any confusion with how we are referring to ourselves on our cover letter.
With regards to tax transcripts - should we send the originals, or copies? We made photocopies of them and were going to send them (and of course they do ask for copies of all your evidence, not originals), but when it comes to transcripts that we could potentially re-order, should we send the originals? What did you do?
Thank you!
In the cover letter, I put both hubby and myself as senders and we both signed the letter. After all, it is a JOINT petition. If you acquired residency through marriage and you ar still together, you and your spouse must file jointly
according to the I-751 instructions.
As for the tax transcripts, I made photocopies of the transcripts only and sent those along with the letter attached by IRS. Did not photocopy the letter itself. I am keeping the original transcripts...am not good at waiting for another transcript
-
Hopefully, I did it correctly

You know, you are absolutely right, and I start to doubt everything myself once again lol
Thing is, I read several forum posts (both here and elsewhere) where people actually stated that they didn't list their children because the children were not seeking removal of conditions and everything went fine, and also posts from people who have actually listed their children (both US citizens as children living abroad, both not seeking removal of conditions) and they were asked to pay an additional biometrics fee of $85 for each child separately.
I just did a quick Google search, as I am completely doubting myself again... Here's one of those posts that make me think it isn't necessary to include these children:
But, yeah, the same forum where I found this text, also had someone saying that 'all' actually means 'all'... *bonks with head into wall* what oh what is the right thing to do :S
To make it a bit more confusing, here's a link to a thread on the visajourney forums, where people are debating the same thing: http://www.visajourn...tion-on-part-5/ ...it's kinda sad they didn't continue on with this thread, as to see what the outcome was for the various people who posted in there, as several should have their 10 year GC by now, or have gotten an RFE with whatever choice they made.
You know, I am going to change my petition, the envelop is still open as I didn't make my cover letter yet and didn't make copies of everything just yet (just reading up on stuff to make sure I file the right stuff) and I am going to add both my Dutch daughter who lives with her mother and my US born daughter (born out of this marriage) on the petition. I hope it is the right thing, but from what I read, it should be. I will add a supplemental paper to the whole package, stating that none of these children are seeking to have their conditions removed or something like that as the youngest is a US citizen, and the oldest is living with her mother in the Netherlands and will remain doing so.
I cannot tell you what to do, or what the absolute answer is, but if you are going to follow my example and interpret the question as 'all' children as well, then I urge you to also add the US birth certificate and every possible documentation you have
Geez.....USCIS should make their instructions more detailed...
I was wanting to know so I know how much to put on the check that I will be sending along with the I-751. $85 can buy at least 500 diapers or 5 cans of formula....yeah, i guess you should send everything rather than get a letter from them asking for more stuff.
-
From what I understand, you only need to include children who are actually filing removal of conditions together with you. My wife and I had a baby in 2009 but we're not including her either as she is a US Citizen through birth. When you use her for proof for a bona vide relationship, I wouldn't worry about the PH BC either, the US BC should be enough for them
She arrived with me on a CR2 visa. Was my husband's stepchild till he adopted her. In her US BC she carries his name, her surname at birth now being her middle name.
Doesn't the form read to list all children?

i 'think' you'll be ok. if it would make you feel better, you can order a transcript from the IRS. it takes about 5-10 working days to arrive, if you order by phone. 1-800-908-9946
thanks!
Next question:
My daughter was adopted in July 2009 and we now have her new US birth certificate along with the adoption papers. Still need to include her Philippine BC? Also, do we need to include her in the petition and, thus, in the biometrics payment? I have tried calling USCIS about this but nobody can give me an answer.

Question: I have ITR's for 2007 and 2009. Hubby did not make a copy of our 2008 one (said he forgot). Is it ok not to have it? What I did was I went thru our bank statements and found the one that shows the tax refund we got for that year. Made a copy of that statement and highlighted it and put a side note. Of course, I will note that on the cover letter as well.
-
Filing either in the next few days or within the next 2 weeks. My 90 days starts Jan 7th. Hubby is an extension of my credit card, not exactly a joint holder, and I am waiting for a letter from the card company saying so. Is being an extension user just as good as a joint holder?

salamat PrinceandPrincess, malapit na nga akong mangitlog. nakaka-excite na nkaka-nerbyos na din. nagpa-pre register ako kahapon sa hospital. opted ko ang normal delivery with epidural. hindi pa daw dilated ang aking cervix sabi ng aking doctor. next week ay third and last ultrasound ko na. hindi na ako nagpa-3d/4d kasi nga ay hindi na sya covered ng insurance.
about sa pagkain ng madaming sabaw, salamat po ulit. i will certainly do that. sana lang ay maka-produce ako ng milk at maibigay ko sa aking baby pagkapanganak.
continue with your prenatal vits too if you're breastfeedimg

naku, hindi talaga nya like ang pacifier. problema ko nga itong eating/sleeping habits nya. gusto nya milk parati before sleeping. and talagang umiinom sya hangang makatulog, hindi po ung tipong nakasaksak lang ung bottle sa bibig nya without drinking. gusto ko sana sya i-train not to do it, kaso di talaga sya makatulog. Ayaw ko naman na ganito sya until may ipin na sya kasi masisira ung ipin nya. :-/
may ibang suggestion po ba kayo besides pacifier? I also tried feeding him 15-20 mins before bedtime... when bedtime rolls around gusto pa rin nya kumain kahit 1-2oz lang hangang makatulog sya.
Also, anu ba pwede ko pakain na sa kanya? Like if I want to cook and mash food for him instead of buying jars of baby food. Panu po ba mag-prep?
Salamat~

trying again... tah tah... sana gumana!
latest.. at 5 months
Ndi ko alam bakit maliit, pinili ko naman ung full size... pero sana kahit maliit makita nyo pa rin.
5 months na sya, love na love nya mag-thumb suck, finger suck, fist suck.. kahit ano lang isusubo sa bibig.
tulo laway, hindi ko po alam kung nag-iipin kasi di ko naman mafeel kung meron or wala.
Hilig sya kumain, at gusto po nya may dede parati sa bibig pag-sleeping time. Nagagalit pag-tinatangal namin ung dede sa bibig nya.
Matakaw din po ito, ang damit nya now is for 12m na. laki kasi nya.
Lol...macho!
Babies can start cutting teeth around this time. Get him a teether. Put in the fridge to cool it. He may like that.
Hmm...not a good idea for him to sleep with a bottle in his mouth. Try an orthodontic pacifier.

nakaka-intimidate na mag-post dito kasi ay mga babies na ang pinag-uusapan.. asan na yung ibang mga buntis na nag-post dito at nawala din. anyways, 35 weeks na po ako pero 36 lbs na rin ang dinagdag na weight. gusto ko na ding mag-diet pero di ko magawa. parang naaawa ako sa anak ko if kakain ako ng oatmeal lang na walang gatas or anything else.

This is NOT the time to be dieting. just choose healthier foods, not cut down on food

RR & Pink - parehong pareho lang tayo ng experience sa mga baby natin. Mawala lang ako sa paningin nya eh umiiyak na kagad kaya nakakagawa lang ako ng household chores ng mabuti kapag tulog sya. Di ako mahilig mag close ng bathroom kasi 3 lang naman kami sa bahay at lalo na kung wala asawa ko 2 lang kami ni letcher. Except kung magsha shower ako or me bisita hehe. Ako naman ang sinisisi ko ang asawa ko kasi kapag nasa bahay sya at nasa kitchen ako naku dadalhin nya si letcher sa kitchen at papanoorin nila akong dalawa. Pink you mentioned yung pag change ng diaper sa public restroom, yan ngayon ang problem ko kay letcher. Sana dito lang sa florida to, twice ko na kasi syang pinalitan sa changing station sa public restroom sa lugar namin sa VA pero di naman umiiyak. Ngayon kapag pinalitan ko sya sa public restroom ay naku ang lakas ng iyak na parang natatakot, nahihiya tuloy ako.
Me problem pa pala ako...all of these are only happening in FL. First time ko syang binigyan ng bath dito sa FL without his baby bath tub, naku natatakot sya sa big bath tub. Nakakapit lang sya sa akin na nakatayo kaya nahihirapan ako kasi madulas. Once na nga syang nadulas at tumama yung bibig nya sa bath tub at nakagat labi nya kaya ayun dumugo kasi 3 na ngipin nya sa taas. Normal ba to? I mean ganito ba talaga sa umpisa kapag sa big bath tub na sila papaliguan? Twice ko na syang pinaliguan ngayon na di na sya umiiyak pero nakakapit parin sya sa akin. Kaya nababasa din ako kapag pinapaliguan sya. Second problem ko, di ko na kasi dinala yung car seat nya dito sa FL kasi meron namang old car seat yung pamangkin ko pero pang front facing na. Lagi din umiiyak si Letcher, naninibago lang kaya sya? Eh pagbalik namin nito sa VA back to rear facing ang car seat nya. Ayaw pang palitan kasi ng husband ko yung car seat nya ng front facing kasi ang advice daw talaga eh until he turn 1 year old. Kwento ko nga sa kanya na me mga mommy's kako sa VJ na nagpalit na ng car seat kahit wala pang 1 yr yung mga baby nila. Anong experience nyo sa baby nyo nung pinalitan nyo ng front facing car seat?
Thanks mga mommies. God Bless!
There are times that Maizy can't stand not having me in her view. Minsan naman, she'll be fine, basta she knows where I am and can go to me. She has been walking for about 3 weeks now and easily navigates between the living room and the kitchen. When I am eating in the kitchen, she'll play on the floor or walke around the kitchen several times, stopping by my seat and smiling before moving on. At times, she'd leave me in the kitchen and go into the living room, only to come back to see me as if making sure I am still there. She's that way even with her Ate. This morning, akala yata nya her Ate was still in the kitchen (I was in my lazy boy) and she dropped her toy on the living room floor and walked to the kitchen. I told her there was nobody there and she came back with a big smile on her face
When she is playing and I need to be in the kitchen, I would tell her that Mommy has to be in te kitchen before I leave her then tell her again when I am in the kitchen. susunod na lang sya when she wants to. I put a few toys in the kitchen so she can play ther while I prepare meals or clean up. Is much easier now that she can walk Yes, she prefers me to her Daddy but when he comes home at night, she doesn't want him to leave her, even to take his bath, and would cry and "run" after him, leaving me behind. But most times, she prefers to be with me. When Ate is home after school, she would go after her into the kitchen (Ate takes a snack when she comes home) Is nice watching them; the 7-year difference isn't there....at least until Ate decides that she would like to curl up on the couch and read (of course, maizy would still make her "kulit" )No problem changing her nappies in a public restroom; I have a changing pad to cover the changing tables in them. Is impractical for me to take her all the way to the car and change her there, lalo't mabigat sya, and most times it's just me and her. Besides, I have yet to see a dirty, uncared for restroom here
As for the carseat, I had to move Maizy into a bigger car seat kasi she is too long na for her infant one. And she only remained rear-facing in it for a very short time kasi long na nga sya. she is forward-facing now and enjoys it. The downside: her head slumps forward most times when she falls asleep (we did everything to prevent that na). And she can readily throw her toys (and her empty bottle) onto the floor (sigh!)

hi guys,
i and my fiancee is planning to get marry here in philippines. I am the beneficiary by the way. My fiancee filed already his leave for february. as we will have our marriage. her employer only allowed her for 12 days.. now heres the problem. earlier today, I went to the local civil registar here in davao city. I asked about the process.. and the lady told me that my future wife shud get a legal capacity to marry from her embassy. we dont have a problem to that. and after which, she will need to file for a marriage license here . here we have a problem., because according to that lady, from the time she files the marriage license, it will take 10 days fo the posting,, after which, since we are doing a civil wedding, they have this raffle thingy every thursday to choose judge gonna marry us.. I figured that with the ten days waiting, plus her travel, like we assume it will be 32 hours tavel one way, plus another 32 hours going back.. it will take him more or less 3 days for the travel alone.. plus the 10 days waiting time..
i really need your advice and help.. can I ask the local civl registrar to waived that 10 days? so when she arrives, all she needs to get is the legal capacity to marry then file for the marriage license and not wait for 10 days? is that possible? please tell me if it is.. or not .. please im begging you..
if there are possible ways, please let me know.. ahead of time..i will truly appreciate your effort replying to my post..
thanks..
hubby had 7 days left in RP when we went to file the legal capacity. I filed the marriage license for us --- i filled up my portion of the license then fed exed it to him to fill up and sign his portion....ohhh...he signed his portion in front of a notary at the Philippine consulate under which Ohio was. They afixed a reda and gold ribbon to thge entire document and he sent it back to me and i filed it. the 10 days is mnandatory...it's a Notice of Marriage posted for 10 days. No way around that. We did not have to go through a raffle as we had approached a judge friend of my uncle's who readily agreed to marry us.

To mommies with Enfamil Premium Lipil babies...
I have a Kroger coupon for Buy One Get One Free for Enfamil Premium Infant (previously enfamil premium lipil) 12.9oz cans. The coupon expires November 11, 2010. Anyone interested, just PM me your location so I can send it to you.
I have the regular Enfamil Premium Lipil coupons, too $3.00 off. Maizy will start Enfagrow soon and has her stock of enfamil to have till then, so I do not need these anymore. I think I may have some Pampers coupons,m too.

Per USCIS, she still needs certificate of citizenship.
