To M, with Love

I'm not really good at eloquently sharing what I feel... I guess this photo will sum up our entire relationship:

Happy first anniversary! I guess this would be my (electronic) paper present.

Always,

Have a Slice of Real Life: NBI E-Clearance-The Conclusion

Short update regarding the issue in this post. I went to NBI Main at Taft the following day. Best experience. Air conditioned waiting area at the lobby outside the room, fast data capture, and they gave me a receipt to claim. I didn't have a hit but apparently everyone who gets clearance for a visa will have to go through extra record checking and I had to go back in three days. I also went back to Ever Commonwealth after two to get the other one, since I paid for it.

To conclude, I recommend getting the E-Clearance from NBI Main at Taft if you need an NBI Clearance for any reason. It's very fast and convenient. You skip the encoding and payment steps, go straight to biometrics data capture and your clearance gets released if you don't have any issues. Just remember that you might have to go back in two weeks if you choose to have it done at another center. Also, read all the instructions and follow them to the letter. You can apply and find everything you need at the NBI website. Good luck!

Have a Slice of Real Life: NBI and E-Clearance

I interrupt the sort-of regular beauty programming with a snippet of... NBI's E-Clearance. This will be  short, promise. Last year, I was able to get my green copy NBI Clearance from Robinson's Metro East because my aunt was able to pull some strings. Now, I need another copy and I need it fast so I decided to try the E-Clearance since it was recommended by a friend. I completed the steps and printed my QR Code.

You have to print the QR code. They will email it to you as well.

I went to Ever Commonwealth since it was near my workplace. What happens is you skip the payment and encoding steps that take forever when you arrive, and you queue for the biometrics at this center. The problem was, they said that I had to go back on Jan 21 because they need to verify the E-Clearance payment-something-or-the-other. Because M and I cannot wait that long, I decided to try my luck at NBI Main tomorrow. I will get back on this topic soon. Please wish me luck!
