M2M relationship... When I arrive in the embassy I just inform the security that i have interview, and they check my name, then I wait to call my name, and when my name is been called, so me and my partner get inside the room and site, then the VO welcome me and my partner.. then VO ask my partner to get out in the room for awhile to VO interviewing me , the only questions that he ask me is only about our relationship, prove how genuine our relationship is, and last question is plan for the future, thats all then the VO ask me to call my partner for his turn, he just verified the information that I have said, then just 5mins while waiting they call my name again for to get inside the room. then the VO told us that we are approve.. yheee heeeeeeeeeeeyyy so VO said just wait for 2-3weeks and my passport visa will come. the whole interview was polite and friendly it takes 45mins talking...

FYI: just make sure u complete your documents and provide a lots of profs.

GOOD BYE to all I end my purpose here...

GOOD LUCK TO ALL and GOD BLESS

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

To those who will get their sticker or already get their sticker at cfo tanong ko lng guys nagwalkin lng ba kayo dun or ngpareserve pa?Im already dopne w/ counselling..sticker nalang..puede kaya ako mgwalkin nlang?
Hi chocomilky!

Just got my CFO sticker today. Yes walk-in lang talaga sya. Mabilis lang! Siguro mga 15 mins lang ang buong process.
You just have to provide your original and photocopy of: passport and visa, Guidance and Counseling Certificate (yellow and green) and Confirmation of permanent residence then after that, they'll verify them then you'll just have to wait for your passport for a few mins para malagyan nila ng sticker :)

@ canuckboy...we are on the same page with the processing time, i sent my application 1st week of July and since August 18 until now it is still in process...my husband submitted his passport september that's 2 months ago but still no updates...

as far as i know they will just give you form to fill-up then drop it in embassy manila for any of your concerns...another option is that you can send them email BUT as long as you are under the processing time which is 6months before and now turned to 9months, they will not assist any concerns. that's sad but that's the reality... cheer up and congrats for your upcoming baby!!!
thanks :)

so did your husband drop off his passport because he was requested to? we have not received any requerst for her to drop off her passport, the only contact we have had was they called her in late Sept to say they were going to mail back some of our records of correspondance (emails etc) as they were not needed any longer

my husband received letter from embassy manila requesting his passport, AOM, NBI and MC. He set all of those thru courier LBC...that was 2 months ago...and still in process...it s*cks but theres nothing we can do...we just have to wait...wait...and wait. question is until when? nobody knows!!! :)

so did you/she already received the correspondence that you sent them before?

im wondering how to get luck in this processing... :)

base on my observation pag passport lang ang hininge tumatagal lang ng 2-3 months my visa na pero pag my hinige additional like nga marriage contract and mga NBI feeling ko yun ang nag papatagal kasi background check pa cguro ulit nila yun then gusto nila yung updated ang ipapasa mo. pero kung passport lang hininge at wala na iba means satisfied na siguro sila.... hehe... naisip ko lang ;D

Sana nga you're right filipina kse passport lang hiningi nila samin pero wala naman sila pinadala na confirmation about my husband's medicals so we're still waiting on that.

my wife has not even been asked to send in her passport yet :(
i see that some people were asked to submit their passport just two weeks after their file was transferred to the visa office following sponsorship approval - i was approved as a sponsor in early August but no one has yet reached out to my wife for her passport (3 months have now passed and still states "In-Process". having said that, i had indicated in our package that she was going to be in the US until late September so is it possible they forgot to reach back out for her passport? do i really need to wait until we hit the six month mark before i reach out to the visa office or what should i do?

now that we know she is pregnant i am more nervous. what if the baby is born before her PR card? wont that complicate matters even more?
