gobster Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thank you for the replies! However, I've inquired with NSO through their website and I received an email stating that my case even though a surname error is considered a typo error and is covered by RA9048. I have yet to start my process with the Local Civil Registrar. More power to you all! Both ela_bat and pol2236 are correct. But as you stated, the NSO website mentioned that your case is covered by RA 9048. It is best to visit your local civil registrar (the city/municipality of the hospital where you were born) and inquire directly with the personnel. They will give you a list of documents you have to complete and the procedure you will have to take. Maybe, a little budget for merienda will do the trick. Quote Link to comment

I have yet to start my process with the Local Civil Registrar. More power to you all! sir maxgreg. with due respect to the NSO opinion. the title of RA 9048 is very clear. [REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9048] AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE CITY OR MUNICIPAL CIVIL REGISTRAR OR THE CONSUL GENERAL TO CORRECT A CLERICAL OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR IN AN ENTRY AND/OR CHANGE OF FIRST NAME OR NICKNAME IN THE CIVIL REGISTER WITHOUT NEED OF A JUDICIAL ORDER, AMENDING FOR THIS PURPOSE ARTICLES 376 AND 412 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES. I doubt that the local civil registrar will allow such change. But then again its just my opinion. Sir let me know if the civil registrar will allow this. Quote Link to comment
niteowl Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Id like to ask lang po sana what should i do... Im an immigrant here in the US and I want to petition my fiance... My inital plan, go back to the philippines, marry her, then file a petition as my spouse. What I want to know is, is this possible, and if so, how long will it take for the US immigration to process her petition, since I am just at the moment, an Immigrant? I know that the fastest way is wait for my citizenship, but since that'll take 5 years pa, parang ang tagal masyado. Or is this the fastest route talaga? Tnx po. Quote Link to comment
Mountaineer Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yes, it might be used for some illegal purpose/s, if you have reported it, you'll not be involved. Based on my experience, dapat pagawan mo muna ito ng police report kasi kailangan yun sa DFA, then kung meron ka ng police report saka punta ng DFA or make an appointment na ata ngayon, together with the Other documents such as , NBI,B.C authenticated etc. check mo sa website ng DFA. then may babayaran ka dun if hindi pa expired ang passport mo. Almost same lang ang process for new application may isang counter lang dun for lost passport. Hope this would help. Quote Link to comment

Pidr0 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Greetings kind Sirs/Ma'ams, I wonder if this fits in your categories, anyway, may I inquire. I have a OFW friend, barely 2 months in Saudi Arabia. Credentials (i.e. Trans of Records, Diploma, Contract, Etc...) was to be submitted by recruitment agency (Manila) to employer in SA. But, problem is, the recruitment agency closed na daw. No way to contact said agency, as of writing. Employer said to friend, need to submit credentials within a month or else, ibabalik sya sa Pinas. Could you point us out, how to go about in dealing with this? Any help will be appreciated. Pugay and more power! Quote Link to comment

There is no limitation as to when your passport may be renewed (basta before it expires of course). Some countries require that passports should at least have 6 months validity before they issue a visa. As for the visa's, if the visa given to you is a fixed period, it will not be affected, and the DFA will simply attach (as in staple it) your old passport to your new passport. But there are countries whose visa is dependent on the expiry of the passport it is attached to (like france), so if you "pre-terminate" your passport, your visa is also pre-terminated (I think, but better to ask the appropriate embassy as this involves foreign law and not domestic law).. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment

Sir, I think the civil registrar will registrar will allow the change. As the title of R.A. 9048 state, a person can seek and administrative correction of two things: 1. Typo error2. Change in first name and nick name. Again, I think lang....hehehehe...grabe bang disclaimer.... Quote Link to comment

Hi Sir, Clearly, you need a lawyer practicing in the US and knows US Federal Immigration Laws. Logically, however, I believe you have nothing to lose by marrying her now and file a petition for your wife. And in case you become a US citizen while the petition is pending, I would think you could change/convert your petition. Nevertheless, from what I have seen from the website of Atty. Garfinkel (tama ba spelling) I think spouse of US Immigrants are given high priority. I would think less than a year...but I suggest you hire a US Lawyer to expedite things. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thanks a lot Hi, If you are really interested, I have a lawyer friend who is in a firm who specialize in this field. If you are serious, you can PM me and will give you details. Off hand, however, I think you should get at least an investor's VISA here or that sort. Cheers. Quote Link to comment

Guest xerxes Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I am to leave for taiwan however, name in my passport is different from what i am using, some letters were missing, plus my birthday is different what should i do? :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
redax Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 You should have your passport corrected to prevent complications. If Taiwanese officials ask for documents and the one's you present would not match the name and birthdate on your passport, they will probably conclude there is something fraudulent going on. That would be a serious matter not worth taking the risk for. Quote Link to comment
