Amen PRAYER May the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, and loved in all the tabernacles until the end of time. Amen. May the most Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised and glorified now and forever. Amen St. Jude pray for us and hear our prayers. Amen. Blessed be the Sacred Heart of Jesus Blessed be the Immaculate Heart of Mary Blessed be St. Jude Thaddeus, in all the world and for all Eternity.

Philippines	NO SEXUAL CONTACT WHEN YOU GOT A SHOTS!!!!	QUOTE (Llyne @ Nov 30 2009, 11:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh...I remembered the nurse who gave me vaccines told me not to get pregnant within the one month time frame (from the date you had your vaccines and then count 30 days), yes you can have sexual contact, just don't get pregnant. Maybe the hospital was just being super preventive to prevent being pregnant, ahha! anyways, were now on the digital age, condoms and contraceptives are available This is what i was told by the nurse too!! However she told me not to get pregnant within 2 months.. this is because they are giving "live" vaccinations and if the girl gets pregnant it will be dangerous.. just use contraceptives LOL	f1_gurl	Female	Philippines	2009-12-01 10:33:00

Philippines	Passport renewals after marriage (before applications)	Hi, I am from Philippines under L1 visa working in MN and I just got married to a US citizen (my husband) a week ago. My passport is about to expire in a few weeks (visa still valid till next year), and I know that I need to get the passport renewed in the consulate somewhere in Chicago. We are also under the process of getting an immigration lawyer to start paperwork for AOS. I am wondering if there is an ideal timing for me to get my passport renewed, could I do it even if the AOS hasn't started yet or will it be better if I renew when the AOS has been filed. Does it make any difference if I file it before or after the paperwork has started? Take note that I have changed my name upon marriage. I just want to avoid redundancy in processing - do I have to renew under my new name, or will I still use my original name? Hopefully this forum could get me some answers. Thanks. K@ I am not sure if you can apply for a phil passport with your married name on it... maybe you would have to register it first with the phil consulate to be recognized??? Try calling the consulate in Chicago... They were pretty helpful when I called there before...	f1_gurl	Female	Philippines	2010-01-27 14:34:00

Philippines	Travelling to Pi - Ticket under married name Passport Maiden name	I didnt have time to change it... and I didnt know that it would matter if my passport and ticket have diff last names coz i assumed they would know it is still me...I also called the consulate before and they said it will take them more than a month to ammend my passport so I thought I would do it when I get back... I called Delta and the rep said he will make a notation on their system.. I dont know if that will work.. Anyone had the same experience as mine who made it without any problems at the airport???? probably you didnt have a chance to change your passport at your married name? sometimes you'll encounter problems at security. they are strict, we all know its you. but if i were a security and found out that the name on the passport doesnt correspond to the ticket, there will be no boarding. safety precaution. what about coming back? if your green card has a different name with your passport, you have to justify everything with the immigration officer. they might question this. all im saying, why you did not change your passport under your married name?	f1_gurl	Female	Philippines	2010-04-24 09:50:00
