Hi! Kamusta po!
Since I've never been abroad and this will be the first time I'll process such documents, I would need to clarify how to proceed with some details para zero error (I hope). I'm trusting the experience of members in this forum. Your knowledge and help will be greatly appreciated! *bows*
I got married this October lang. My husband went back to Canada and we're aiming (hopefully) early next year makasunod na ako sa kanya. Provided I supply necessary requirements ASAP.
I've read Philippines [IMM 3905] document from Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class webpage.
Eto po mga questions ko:
1. Dito sa Pilipinas, alam ko ang babae pag nagpalit ng surname, she has the option on how her surname will come out. Either,
[ First Name + New Surname ] e.g. Joanna Marie C. Cruz
[ First Name + 'Maiden Surname - New Surname' ] e.g. Joanna Marie C. Soriano - Cruz
My question is, sa pag fill out ng forms, which format should be used? Some countries are particular with such details so gusto ko po malaman kung ano dapat gamitin sa forms para avoid hassle to filling out again.
2. According to guidelines, Police Certificates and Clearances are required. I'm assuming this entails the NBI clearance?
If so, do I have to wait for my surname to be NSO registered muna or can I get one now but using my maiden surname?
FYI - Okay na kami sa civil registrar. Hindi pa kasi umaabot sa NSO ang marriage certificate namin. Still waiting updates on it.
3. For medical exams, it states under Medical Exams page...
"If you are applying under the family class and being sponsored as a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, or dependent child, then you should complete your medical examination before submitting your application."
Does this entail I could proceed with getting an exam or should I wait for instructions before I do so?
I was told from some VISA applicants (I'm not sure on under what category), they were to wait for instructions before proceeding. How would it go under spousal category?
4. I've checked on DMP's in Makati area (taga Makati po ako). I personally prefer female doctors and I found two physician's list. Susana Camille Timbol-Sanchez and Ma. Theresa Pinlac.
I would like to ask if anyone underwent medical exam with either doctors and how it went. If anyone could refer me to a different and good DMP within Makati area, I would greatly appreciate it.
Yon po questions ko as of now. I hope I could get replies from anyone soon.
Thank you very much!
