SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[eeyore]

Thank you po... Actually nung ma-notice ko ung mali sa MC namin nasa Civil Registrar ako sa Cavite... Since nasa NSo na daw wala na daw cla magagawa tapos very minimal naman daw sabi nila sa akin ipaliwanag ko na lng daw sa embassy... I just want to know kasi kung merong mga similar cases na katulad nung sa amin, kung okay nga n dapat ipaliwanag na lng kc matagal na proseso pa kung ipapa-lawyer ko pa cya... :'( :'( :'( :'(

pag ipapa ayos mo yan aabutin ka ng 2 to 3 months just like mine problema naman sa akin dati ung surname ko sa bc ko mali ng isang letter..pinagawa ko yun agad...dapat tanong ka rin sa cic kase hindi ko rin alam sa case mo baka pede ng aaffidavit of discrepancy......o kaya sa nso ka mismo pumunta at sigurado may makakausap ka na gagawa nyan dun mismo

tama ka, it takes months nga. yung kakilala ko my pinabago rin, minimal lang naman yung fee pero my lawyer involved. yung public lawyer sa Regional trial court sya nag ask ng help sa legal matters.
After the process, my nakalagay na na amendment sa lower portion ng NSO-marriage contract. hindi mababago yung mga entries na mali, nakalagay lang sa ammendment na ganto ang name ng taong to or kung ano mang correction. ;D

tama yung sabi ng mga forumers dito. tawag ka sa CEM. then kung ano sabi nila saka mo malalaman if u need to apply for the amendment. then sa NSO or registrar na after kung kailangan nga.

go go go! gawin agad para mapasa na. ;D ;D

Hi I'm Daphneliciouz I'm new here, but I've been reading posts for a while...

Here's my timeline:
08 April 2011 - CPC-M Received Application
11 May 2011 - Sponsor Approved & Transfered to CEM (Notified via Email, ECAS Active)
02 June 2011 - Application received in CEM (ECAS)

Waiting for my Passport request at the moment...
By the way, why are some notified of their passport request by PHONE CALL from the embassy, while some are just notified by SNAIL MAIL?

THANKS!!!

Phone call from the embassy for PPR does happen, maybe its within the discretion of the visa officer handling our applications, but majority of our forumers recieved their PPR through snail mail, which is very important because that mail contain the principal applicant's immigration file no. and the client no. as well. in addition to this, you will know in print whether additional document(s) are required on top of the passport plus the appendix A form.

Yes tama si MRSH...hindi na mababago ang entries same pa rin but my amendment na naka quote sa papers.
Kasi malaking correction ang case mo..sken kasi one letter lang ng name ng mother ko..Affidavit of discrepancy lang.
But as what you said part ng name nya naging middle nya.
You will be needing lawyer talaga.
Dont think about the time but how to correct everything.
Kesa ma hang ang application mo mas matatagalan ka.
Better start correcting now than later.
Go to NSO na pinakamalapit sayo then inquire everything coz it will be a big question sa CEM yan .
Kung makita ng CEM na ayos na lahat then wala na silang question.
Kasi ibabato ka rin ng CEM for sure sa NSO to fix the problem...



On his age concern...may validity ang marriage license half or a year(UNSURE) so between that time valid pa ang marriage license.
May cases kasing matagal bago naikasal as long valid pa ang marriage license.

The officiating minister should ask you to check all the information on the MC before submitting it to the local registry to ensure its correctness kasi legal document yan. I had a descrepancy on my first name too and I had it corrected I paid a fortune and the processing took 45 working days plus the days I gathered all the requirements. When I renew my passport they wrote my hubby's second name as an initial too on their data base but I told the girl it should be written in full cause it's not really the middle name just like we have here. It's true when you have it corrected they will not change the details but there's just an annotation written on the side or underneath stating the corrections. I just don't have any idea if an affidavit from the lawyer will do it depends on CEM. It might come out just a minor error but I don't know what CEM has to say.

Continuation of B: To renew or apply for passport at Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) certificate from Seminar B is required

To avoid delay of visa processing, make sure all fees were paid, and all documents were submited.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). If this fee is not paid with the application, Canadian Embassy Manila will first contact you to send you a letter to tell you to pay. The letter goes to the person being sponsored but the fees have to be paid by the sponsor themselves. You then pay your fees online or at a bank and have to send the proof to CPC-Missassauga. Then CPC-M sends notice to the CEM that it was paid.
It takes time to get back to you to tell that the fees are paid. So it does slow down the process quite a bit. Failure to pay the fee at the time of submission of the application will result in a minimum additional two-month delay in the finalization of the application according to http://www.cnn1.net/pdf_forms/3900E.pdf

Additional documents usually requested by the embassy:
1. AOM (Advisory on Marriage) from NSO- different from Marriage Certificate; should be submitted at CPC-Missassauga together with other required documents at Country Specific Instructions-Philippines http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3905e.pdf
2. Divorce Petition- different from Divorce Certificate; usually requested from Filipino sponsors who are divorced based on experiences of posters in this forum. (For natural-born Canadian sponsors who are divorced, seems that they don't ask from you, but pls confirm at CEM)
3. Appendix A- or Additional Family Information; though submitted previously, they will still ask a copy; the letter usually comes with the AOR/PPR
4. Detailed statement of relationship with the EX (notarized)- for sponsored person with a child from their ex. Sometimes you are required to submit: Ex's I.D, a notarized letter stating the ex allows the child to be sponsored, or other document asked by the visa officer.

To check application status (eCAS), download forms, guidelines and know more about Citizenship and Immigration Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/index.asp

I've just notice lang halos lahat naman sinasabihan nila ng icheck mabuti ang marriage licence kung tama ang nakasulat, so my husband and I checked it so many times just to make sure na tama lahat ng info at tama naman, eto na nung makuha namin sa NSO may mali na 1 letter sa surname ng mother ko, kahit yung 2 kong friend may mali din sa MC nila nung nakuha na nila sa NSO, ayoko sana isipin na ginagawa nila yon para kumita sila, kasi 1500 din bayad nun pag may ipatatama ka (clerical discrepancy or error yata tawag dun) at it takes 4mos (sa BC ko ito) ha. Kainis talaga, siguro sa 10 halos 9 may mali..

i received AOR/PPR thru post mail.
deparo caloocan ang mailing add ko, at wala ako sa bahay ng ideliver ito so duno kung me pinirmahan pamangkin ko.
appendix A (personal information) sent by CEM is different from the Appendix A (checklist) we submitted together with our application).
AOM was included in my application kit submitted.

dapat yung marriage certificate ang chinicheck ng mabuti kasi un ung nireregister sa NSO not the marriage license.
nung kinasal kami, dumaan ang husband ko sa church to check the information encoded on the prepared marriage certificate bago siya tumuloy ng hotel para magbihis. tapos after ng wedding ceremony naman, chineck ko rin ito muna bago ako pumirma.

dapat yung marriage certificate ang chinicheck ng mabuti kasi un ung nireregister sa NSO not the marriage license.
nung kinasal kami, dumaan ang husband ko sa church to check the information encoded on the prepared marriage certificate bago siya tumuloy ng hotel para magbihis. tapos after ng wedding ceremony naman, chineck ko rin ito muna bago ako pumirma.

yes we did that also, bago pirmahan pinachek din sa amin nung mayor na nagkasal at ok naman tapos pinabalik na ako after 7 days kasi ipapaadvance endorsement ko nga, nung nakuha ko na yung copy mismo na pinirmahan namin sa civil registrar may liquid paper na yung part na mali, tapos nung sinabi ko sa kanila na mali yung isang letter, di na daw mababago kasi napirmahan na namin, i kept insisting na ni double check namin ni husband yon at tama naman tapos ngayon may mali at parang sinadya dahil nakaliquid paper sya, kaloka talaga! so wala na kaming nagawa.
