do you have the AOM ready? i heard it takes a few days to get it from nso.

Just like 3 days for us.. I was really happy with this online service, the teleserv https://nsohelpline.com/order/choosePurpose

My wife got 2 in preparation for the PPR (1 for our files) and then wasn't asked for it when the PPR came.

Oh no! It's like everything in your application is not as expected.

we weren't ask for 1 either, i included aom already with the application.

They didn't send us anything back! Just the Visa and a letter. He hasn't been super coherent since the visa showed up so I'm not really sure what all was in that envelope.

haha... maybe he's excited.... forgot some..

Yeah he's totally lost it.. supposed to be packing but you can find him in the mall everyday. Thinks he needs another pair of shorts It's okay he's forgiven since yesterday he went out and bought me 2 nice sweaters and 2 pairs of stretch jeans.. oh yeah and 2 jeans for him and a uniform for his sister.. now his parents dropped by unanounced and they're in the mall again.. eating in Inasal, shopping for the kids :

got our cenomar from that site too before getting married, and realized later on, it was very expensive. got my AOM thru SM Business Center, same price if you go directly to NSO, just an addtl 20Php I think for the service fee. I ordered 5 before we sent the application ;D

I think it would be for the applicant not the sponsor.. but it will say both names I think?

doesn't matter, yes it'll have both names

 

[WoodyKatie]

yes, I got it a few months ago when I learned that it's needed. I also got one for my husband.. we are both Filipino so I got his too, so when needed it's already available.

ahahaha... a typical Filipino! That's my plan too, to buy new clothes prior to packing..

LOL.. told my husband I think I need to get some jeans and sweaters too. then he said, we'll just buy there. and then i've read, it's more expensive there. i didn't argue anymore, thought it'll be a good excuse to go shopping once i landed ;D

Nooo! Buy your jeans in the Philippines. It's like shopping heaven for small people with short legs. You can get a pair for $12. Jeans in Canada can cost $100. And you will always have the extra expense of hemming the legs because they make them so long. Then for the other items, convince him to shop in the outlet malls in the US

 

[WoodyKatie]

it contains both names but I think it doesn't show for example, if your husband married another woman. it will be provided only in the husband's AOM.
