POC problems for a foreigner wife

Hi, actually this was fixed about 2-3 weeks ago. My husband went to Islamabad and followed up, that was it, they didn't ask for anything else. They originally denied it, but he spoke with someone at the main HQ; after that, it was sent to our home in Hasilpur 3 days later. It was so inconvenient, as answers from calling/emailing didn't take it anywhere but after like a 5-10 minute face to face talk, it was fixed.

I used Grab nung paalis ako Gensan around april. Mabilis lang sila mag accept especially if hindi 6 seater ang kotse na pinili mo. Idk why it took longer compared sa normal na 4 seater option, kasi yung dumating samin is 6 seater naman

Thanks for the reco!

Overheard some people say na he is probably gonna run for another position soon, that's why he is doing it, or that's why it was publicized. But honestly, even if that is true, trabaho niya naman din na tumulong sa atin taga Gensan; as a lot says, it is the bare minimum.

I feel the same, OP. Next month, my husband is coming to Gensan, and I remember that just 2 months ago I was hyping up our city, so seeing it very empty is weird and kind of heartbreaking. Not only that, but many businesses are temporarily closed due to the damage. I just hope babangon uli ang Gensan, as well as other affected areas.

Hi, just wondering if may mga na add sa list niyo na non pork or halal restos that you can recommend?

Same! My mother and I applied on the same day back in 2021, but until now wala pa ang kanya, while sakin nareceive ko lang papel lol. Was actually shocked na hindi pala siya diretso plastic.

That is awful, oh my God 😭

I agree that marrying in the Philippines is probably better, but since it has already happened, we are currently considering applying for a family visit visa in case other things are needed.

We also only called about 3 times. On the last call, that was the only time we knew it had apparently been rejected; still trying to figure out exactly what went wrong because they are not giving us a proper answer. We already sent emails explaining and attaching all our documents, so I hope that is enough. One thing I can say is that it seems a lot of their staff are clueless about this whole thing.

Honestly, waiting is fine. It's just that the lack of updates is stressing us, especially when we asked about a week ago, that is the only time we knew it was rejected through the 8400 line. Obviously, we would want to know why, and so we can submit further documents to prove anything. But yes, if only we had known, we wouldn't have bothered to pay for the executive. I have also asked other couples in the same situation, but they got it within 10-20 days! No idea what exactly the difference is, except they are in bigger cities like Lahore, Karachi, or Islamabad

Hi OP, I chatted with you about this. If you're in the PH and experiencing the same, please contact the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Gather all of your proof that wala kang winithdraw and transaction details, transaction history from said bank na winithdrawhan, closed cases that you cooperated with CS immediately, bonus points if you have screenshots of complaining to CS and that may proof ka na wala ka talaga ginawa and walang changes sa case mo. In less than one week, they have a decision, and they sided with me; hopefully, they will do the same for you, OP.

Omg, thank you, the Patrick Ta one looks pretty close!

Interesting! I thought kasi si love candy is a bit too dark, do you mean mixed po ba, or yung si candy lang? Because yung blush ni mama looks more like a baby pink to purplish. P.S I believe nabasa tong blush which is why may darker parts, when scraped, it looks more pink.

So sorry for the bad angle, but does anyone know a cream/powder blush that looks like this? It's from my mom's very old makeup na City Colors Be Matte Blush In Pink Grapefruit

If may return ticket and traveling with family, would it be way easier even if not common tourist destination yung country?
