SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

Option C is a printout of your taxes from the previous year and it is one of the papers they ask for you to submit, you don't have to give them your most recent T4 all you need is to give them your Option C paper, employment letter and any recent work stubs and that's it

Thank you again for your prompt reply. The sponsor however hasn't filed yet for 2011 as his t4 will be released end of February. How long must he wait before he can request for Option C printout after filing? and how long does the revenue usually send the printout? TY so much for all of your help.

Hi everyone

Anyone here who used her maiden name in the application form (passport is in the maiden name)? May I know what name you used for the nbi clearance?

Coz I went to nbi yesterday... I was planning to use my maiden name as well but declare that I'm now married.. Pero Hindi pala pwede un. It won't work coz their system will ask for the husband's last name if you have a 'married' status. If I want to use my maiden name, the certificate will indicate that I'm 'single'... So I went with the married status (I thought this is more important) and husband's name.. Did I make the right decision?

So Now my nbi clearance will have my married name but forms, passport and all other docs bear the maiden name. Would anyone know if this would be an issue?

Advice please........

CIC is very particular with document consistency. If you're using your married name on one document, you should be using it in all. It might cause a delay or an issue. Some applicants here have the same query and what they did was change everything to their married name.

Hi. I used my maiden name in my application, passport and nbi clearance. I got married after I obtained my passport and nbi clearance but I submitted my civil registrars' marriage certificate when we applied for spousal and in my PPR, I sent my NSO marriage lic. coz thats all they asked me. I guess, it doesnt matter if your NBI Clearance has ur husband's family name and your passport/application form has ur maiden name, since it is supported by your marriage certificate. They will all know that your married. Under Philippine Laws, we have our right to retain our maiden name even if were married. So, probably...your NSO marriage certificate will confirm that you're really married and maybe, all legal documents thereafter like passport/nbi clearance will be better changed to married/husband's family name. JUST A PERSONAL OPINION.

About your NBI I think there's no big deal about it.
I used my maiden name in all of my documents. When i took my NBI I asked their head how will be my clearance cause i just got married and I'm still using my maiden name for all of my docs specially my passport... So, he said it is ok for my clearance to still be single using my maiden name. With your case, Pinaynurse1 is right for me, the VO will definitely consider. Hope everything will be alright... chill out, relax!

To Pinaynurse1,
Im a nurse too and i will be taking up IELTS exam on March. May kasama pala ako dito! sino pa po bang nurse jan?

Hello again. I've recently found out an error from my sponsor's NSO birth certificate. The one on his records in Canada was from the Local Civil Registry (there was no NSO then). It was an erroneous place of birth entry. And with that, the marriage certificate has the same error (his place of birth) what do you think I should do about it? I was told to secure an affidavit of discrepancy for both marriage and birth certificates but im not sure if they honor it. Anybody on the same boat? TY!

Ako din nagrereview for ielts sis. Home study although i enrolled sa niners cant leave parents eh... Ang taas kc ng itinaas ng crne..sakit sa tenga ang listening. Hays any tips? Free net review? Hehe. Thanks sis

kakakuha ko lang ielts. sa IDP ako nag register. i wasnt really prepared, mga 1 month lang review ko, 2 hours a day lang...honestly, it wasnt enough sis. sa writing, meron pattern yan, stick with the pattern, mejo okay kana. sa speaking, practice makes perfect talaga. too easy ang mga questions, kaya lang minsan, nauunahan ng kaba. sa listening, madali lang sa amin (i think) kasi mabagal mag pronounce ng words (not australian or british accent, parang canadian accent nga eh, i think). sa reading? yun ang di ko alam....kahit sa practice, ang baba ng score ko. dapat may technique talaga sa reading. pag malaman mo yung technique, madali nalang. yung ibang kasama ko, they rewrite and summarize the story para mas maintindihan nila pero dapat mabilis ka. nakaka 8-8.5 mga score nila, kaya lang mabagal ako mag rewrite... so, ang secret sa ielts, it think...STRATEGY/TECHNIQUE, ALERTNESS and PRACTICE Good luck. I didnt pressure myself, kaya parang di ko sineryoso ang exam, sinasabi lagi ng asawa ko, if u cant make it there...do it here again. It lessens the pressure, pero mas okay narin na try pa din ang best. I know I can pass the exam....ang problema kasi sobrang taas ng requirements ng CRNE, so bahala na si batman hehehe.

Nakarelate akobsau sis, nong naaproved sponsor(hubby) sabi mg enrol nako review though nag enrol nako talga at home study na kht naka enrol ako bec i need materials, u cant practice without it lol. Sabi nya take it march if u fail april ulit i was like what?! He said thats an order! Haha. So the pressure gets to heavy, he said there are banks who can lend money so just take the test, i understand the rush bec it takes time for the papers assesement i heard about 8-12 mos now, so we really hope while im stil here i can work on that already so when i get there less time of waiting na. Yeay pinaynurse crne is driving international nurses like us with their ielts score rqmnts, i told my husband i can take the nclex 10x but ielts in canada is idk..he is suportive ( and pushy at the same time haha) bec he said if i dont make it this time theres always time for retake and there is celban there if we don make it here, all im worried abt is he works his butt so hard and i cant afford to waste hard earned money..so im working hard on this. Anyway thanks that i get to talk to my colleagues here

Goodluck to each and everyone of us here.. Our PR our IELTS our carreer!

if i were u better go to local registrar and make it change.. they will be the one to make an  affidavit of it and submit it to nso...kasi ganyan din marriage namin may error sa day of birth ko.. thats why it takes long time for me to get corrected nso...importante yon eh.. but its worth...maybe madali lng sa iyo if ur n manila kasi cebu mabagal talaga as in. kinasal kami nov,2010 but naka pag appply lng kami august.. pero nakuha kuna june 2011 ang corrected na marriage then nag pa change agad ako ng surname....
