    @key_ren Hi! Pwedeng by mail ang FBI. Pero kelangan mo magpafingerprint card sa local police. Saan ka ba based now? If Pinas, sa Crame daw. If Sg, sa Cantonment. Nasa FBI website yung forms. Send mo via DHL para mabilis. Medyo matagal waiting time nyan. Nagrequest kami noong first week of June, ngayon ang update in the process of mailing out daw. Mga 6-8 weeks sya. Yan na lang rin hinihintay ko eh.

    @key_ren sa Sg address namin pina-mail, baka kaya medyo matagal. Mas mabilis nga raw pag sa US address, so kung may kakilala ka dun mo na lang ipa-send tapos i-scan na lang nila for you.

    Hi Guys,

    I tried to pay for my visa but I am getting this error. Can anybody share their thoughts on this? I am using the credit card of my relative in the US and I am in the Philippines. My relative already informed her bank about this upcoming charge.

    Thank you!
