Today, I received my new SS card with its restrictions removed. I applied for removal of restrictions last October 20, at SSA's district office in Westminster which is just 20 minutes away. I and Craig actually was thinking of going to Baltimore which is where the SSA headquarters is located, but it's a 45-minute drive going there. So, it was really a smart idea to go and do it at the district office. Besides, when we reached the office only couple of costumers were there, so it wasn't really busy. I was done in 20 minutes or so :).

Last Thursday (September 30, 2010), I finally was able to pick up my Philippine passport at the Philippine embassy in Washington D.C. It was all a breeze as there were no crowds inside :).
I just gave my receipt to the lady at the window, then she let me signed through the computer. I got to repeat it 3 times because I got confused and forgot what signature did I use, LOL! The lady told me I have to sign the same signature I used on my passport. I told her I wasn't sure what signature I used. Luckily, my passport already has my signature stored in it. The passport has somewhat like a computer chip installed in it like my US passport, so both passports are now digital-scan capable :). All is set and complete for my documents in time for my upcoming trip to the Philippines this November. |
