You can't really log in using the same yahoo ID in different computers at the same time so i was thinking how'd your friend chat with her husband while the other girl was using her yahoo ID at the same time? Even if you try to use meebo.com to sign in to yahoo, and in the other computer sign in using the actual messenger, it still wont work.

-- On the contrary, puede ka pa rin mag log-in sa YM using another computer/celfone using the same account, what it will do is it will log-out the other active session from another computer or device. I'm pretty sure with that coz i do that all the time. Log in from my celfone, then it will log out from my computer. Or log in another computer, without logging out from previous sessions.

Working in the IT industry, just beware of having someone access to your personal email. nakakatakot yan. My advice is try to create another account and then change all your accounts tied to that email address, that the other person has gained access on. For example, bank accounts, friendster, myspace, and other internet accounts that have your previous email linked to it. You need to change it right away to another email na ikaw lang ang nakakaalam ng password. Be careful not to give out your password and make your security questions when creating the account a little bit hard to guess. And when creating password, you can put like characters in it too... For example, if you want lets say your password to be Ganda - probably you can change it to 6@nd@. Replace the letter a into a character that looks like an a, para mas strong i-decipher. mga ganun... tapos i really recommend you make it longer. at least 8 characters. Pag nagawa mo na ito, its just a matter of unahan mo yung person na yun to change the password while you still can. Kung ako, I will close that account already as soon as mapalitan ko na yung lahat ng bank accounts, friendster, etc, associated to that email address. reason for that is when changing the primary email, it may need some confirmation for some. And I will make it a priority!!! I will not wait another day to postpone it.

If you really want to find out who it is, for me i think it's not really worth it. You have to be careful though because this may be someone who is jealous of you or who knows you or maybe who is close to you.

PhilippinesMy First Times
I would just like to share...

I can't believe I have been in US for more than a year now... And alot has happened within that last year. For most of the events that I have experienced within the past year, for some people it may have taken years for them to experience what I have experienced last year... or sometimes maybe even not at all... It was indeed my year last year.

Something worth writing about... Let's do a backtrack...

July - first 4th of July celebration
August - first time I reached MA to visit my relatives, my aunt who ive never seen for 17 years. First time I met my uncle Dave and my cousin Alaina
Sept - Work permit approved
First football game
Oct 11 - received my work permit in the mail though it was approved Sept 30.
Oct 14 - got first phone call for a job interview.
Oct 16 - scheduled date of interview (that time said they will call me within a week)
Oct 25 (Sat) - Company where I interviewed for called even not business hours to give me job offer

Jan - first new year together
Feb - First Valentines day together
March - bought and moved to our house, now home
my first birthday here in US
First anniversary here in US

so there... been a year...

July 18 - expecting our first born child

... and so on... more to come.

Just too much going on in my last year. Just feel so blessed. And still thankful and grateful for everything... Thank you Lord!

God bless sa job interview. Basta be prepared and confident dapat...

Madaming walang trabaho now so since you had a chance to get the interview, nail it girl!
Kayang kaya mo yan!

You may also want to practice in front of a mirror pano sasagot sa mga typical questions sa interview...

When I had mine, nasuwertehan din, I nailed it in one interview...

Be prepared with questions like...

what are your weaknesses and strengths?
tell me something about yourself..
why will i hire you?

in all fairness, using DVR is not illegal, otherwise those dvr's won't even be out in the market if it is...
it only gets illegal when you distribute and make money out of it... but its perfectly ok to record movies and shows on tv from dvr especially if you have the ability to do that... like tv tuners and stuff... and other gadgets. If you paid for the show it's perfectly ok to record them for personal use.

I do agree that pirating is bad bad bad.....

Congrats! I will be having mine in July...

tell me, nahirapan ka ba? was your delivery natural or c section? 8lbs 14 oz seem like a big baby for a typical Filipino, sa atin.

Ako kasi, my belly is really huge... and kakatakot thinking about it... most people say i may have c section but as much as possible, i wouldn't want c section... i don't know yet. Im very petite u see. sabi nga ng mga coworkers ko... oh you're all tummy... you're so small. ganun...

PhilippinesMother's day and I just lost our baby big dog..
Thanks for all the responses.. and consolation. Somehow, my husband and I and our other dog is recovering for the loss. Of course, still not the same now without Clency. Frosty hadn't been eating since Clency died until this morning, but only a bit.

My husband and I have been looking around at possible adoption of another dog - like Clency.. and putting up a fence around the yard. It's still all up in the air..

My heart is kinda fifty-fifty with my decision...

another dog will bring a lot of joy to both of us and may get Frosty to be more jolly and not as lonely, will give him company when we are away for work... will make it happier and noisier and crazier at home. hehehe...

however...
im on my last trimester now, and first baby, I am scared of how we will be able to manage new born baby then another doggie and not compared to if im in the Philippines, when I have relatives and a hand to do everything and get everything done, here in US, not much hand to rely on. I am expecting that this will be really huge responsibility and really big bundle of joy too, but i fully understand that it will not be easy. Taking care of another dog... though i might be able to pull it off, will still of course need effort. Another concern will be expenses too. New baby will definitely incur lots of expenses compared to not having a baby. Putting up a fence, we don't have manpower to help and would also be costly at this point...

maybe we can put off with getting another dog for now...

Clency is my very first dog, and i've never ever thought before that I could love a pet like that as much that i would cry for it when it dies... <they would say it's just a dog...> but now that i have experienced it, somehow i think if ill be willing enough to have another one knowing how it hurts so much to loose them when they die.

now i understand why husband had tears in his eyes when we watched Marly and me!!!...

PhilippinesMother's day and I just lost our baby big dog..
My husband and I are mourning for the loss of our baby dog Clency. He's a golden retriever, so young, only 2 years old, full of life.. now lost. Lost to a stupid reckless speeding driver!

It was saturday and I started my day taking care of my precious doggies. Gave him a bath so he would smell good, fed him and brushed his hair... we were happy. Then my husband and I went out for the day and we came back, took care of the doggies, but since his butt hair has grown long, he made a mess on it... so my husband helped me hose it down then brushed his hair again and dry it... I also brushed our other dog's hair, Frosty's, while we were on the deck... and as i was doing that, there he was chasing Frosty's fallen hair in the air... Clency's a happy dog. They both were.

Until around 7 pm, since Frosty's tummy is upset and he made a mess earlier in the morning... The three of us rushed outside to do their usual thing. Clency is usually off leash because he always comes back to us on recall, while Frosty, being an old dog, always run away so he's on leash with me. Clency just wanted to make friends with the neighbor's dog. He grew up pretty much in an apartment and crate trained, so i guess he's anxious to meet other dogs.

He was on the edge of the road by the neighbor's side and all of a sudden, there was this speeding SUV, running about 20mph more than the speed limit... and i just saw how he hit my doggie on the side and threw him off the side of the road... Clency was hurt... and i know he's hurt bad... he managed to run back to me, halfway the front yard and i couldn't sprint towards the road fast enough to get the plate no, because im pregnant.. and my concern is for my doggie.

He made it into the house... he was just dragging his back with his front legs... my poor baby... there was a bit of bleeding.. and finally we tried calling in for vets and finally got one downtown nashville is the closest, and we rushed him to emergency.. Dr said he was pale and he was really grasping for air on the way, he also even pooped a bit while still in the car. He was x rayed... long waiting.. and it showed that his stomach was pushed all the way to his chest and cut his diaphragm open, thus constricting his lungs, causing him to have a hard time breathing. He needed to have a surgery immediately. But even before we could decide, not long after the dr announced that he just died... and so i started crying... just couldn't hold it.. been crying all the way home, while in the car... couldn't stop it.. I felt like a mother losing a child. it hurt alot... i've been crying and crying until i fall asleep... Sunday morning, i woke up, i still feel so heavy... still couldn't help it, tears just flowing off my eyes.. Wherever I go, whichever way i look, I would cry... my baby Clency is not there anymore... happily running on the yard... sprinting and just having a good time. Both my husband and I are devastated. Far more than words can express. Our baby dog Frosty is depressed too. It is so sad that he too also has to go thru this again.. the second time he lost his buddy... first one from Jake, who also died 2 years ago from cancer...

I spent more time with Frosty because i thought I had more time left with Clency after Frosty dies, since he's old... but i both love them. If only my husband would allow it, they could both sleep on the bed with us... sometimes they sneak. Clency likes my body pillow whenever i would ask him to go down. He has his funny ways of amusing us. Ohhh.. i terribly miss him. Sunday, I still feel depressed... both my husband and I... I couldn't sleep, dragging myself to work.

Now, still not over it. I went to work and tried hard to compose myself.. opened up my email, and there i saw some of my friends greeting me happy mother's day... and then tears started rolling down my eyes again... Mother's day and I just lost one of my big baby dogs...

PhilippinesTourist Visa - Ties - Show Money
It's all a matter of convincing consul that she will come back to the Philippines for a tourist visa. My mother was able to get three international tourist visas (1 in US and 2 in Australia) without showing as many financial proofs before. She was never even asked for any. Either she's really lucky but doing it three times and all approved I can say that it's really a tough good luck that is hard to find. Of course, she never ever abused it and never overstayed while on tourist visa and ever will. I am hoping she could get approved again so she can come visit us, my husband and her future grandson (one coming very soon!)... I really hope she gets approved again and my papa too.

Good luck on us!!!
T_and_ANot TellingPhilippines2009-05-29 12:13:00
Philippinesneed o
Hello VJ family.

I would like to consult what you think about this...

My parents are applying for a tourist visa so they can visit us here, see their upcoming grandson, and hopefully visit my aunt and family in MA as well on their stay here. It would really be nice if they get approved. My mother was able to come to US as a tourist before to visit my aunt.. My husband and I will be paying for the tickets for my parents.

Anyway, I received an email from a good friend of mine and she also wants to come for a visit here in US. She is asking me if it's ok that I can reference our address here in TN as one of the places to visit put in her application. She said she's planning to go to LA too and TN, where I am at. She just wants to travel I guess as she liked US when she went here before. Just as background, she has been here in US before, she was sent by her company (expat here in US) for a period of time, has a good job in the Philippines and good life there too. When she was here, she was assigned in one of their corporate base in TX so we really couldn't meet up then but we were talking about how nice it would be that we could meet up here in US. I told her our place is more than welcome to have her when she comes for a visit.

My questions... the address i will give her will be the same address that my parents will have in their application. Do you think this would have any effect or affect other pending tourist visa applications considering they may be applying at a time close to each other? What advantages/disadvantages will there be that you can think of in this situation..

I actually feel thrilled that my friends wanted to come see me and I don't have any doubts that they can spend for themselves at all. I also wanted to have my family here too very bad.

you have the right to know EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING about him! no matter how much it hurts. SO Please! Be strong for yourself and for your baby. You are the wife and you have the right to shove off the ex-wife. Do they have child? If not... ####### is the communication for?! My husband has a daughter with her so they just talk about her and what to do with her. No more no less. He knows more than that means argument. Well... He hates his ex-wife anyway. It's also a good thing they dont have spousal support. Does your husband have spousal support on her? ASk him. - My husband paid alimony for dog support voluntarily- his name is Frosty. When I arrived here in US, ex wife went to HI for a vacation and left Frosty with my husband. Ex-wife never took Frosty back. Either husband takes it or if not, she will give him away. In those two weeks that I spent with that dog, I learned how to love and adore him and i couldn't bear to see him off with another owner. So i just agreed to take care of him. So now, we have two dogs.It was hard for me at first since they are big dogs. but heck, they are so sweet, kept me company during those times that i wasn't working yet. Ex-wife still receives the alimony supposedly for Frosty until it expires the terms. Sometimes, she asks if Frosty can stay with her for a few days. He's an oldie dog, very smart and i love him much and he's in love with me too.

lol... been there done that. I ask his family how he is... i'm even open to his family. When i don't understand him, I call his dad and every time its always a good conversation. I end up feeling good after talking to them... always reassuring. I never once doubted my love for my husband and his love for me. I know deep in my heart he loves me. I love him much. Yes, from how i know of him though, he's the type of person who would not tell you the truth if he knows that it will hurt you. I've seen that with how he dealt with his ex wife from the time since i got here and/or from other relationships he had. I am not sure if he's like that with me. Hard to tell.... but he is a good man... my partner... that's why i love him to death.

Talk to him. Set a date, time and place where you two can have a heart to heart talk. No computer, no cellphones, no tvs, no work, no anything that will distract both of you from the conversation. Tell him EVERYTHING that has been bothering you. Let it all out, pour your heart out. If you have to list them down then do so. Once he sees how upset you are or sad,and if he truly loves you, he might not tell you what's going on with him (if he is keeping something from you), but this will make him think about everything that he's been doing to you lately. The talk will give him a wake up call. Pray he will be honest with you if not at least for him to realize some of his mistakes, for you to find out your mistakes, and find the best way to resolve your problem. I also suggest talking to one of his family member, mother or any close sibling, and ask things about your husband for you to better understand him.

Good luck!

I assume your EAD has no approval yet?... what is the status of your EAD application?

I got my SSN two weeks after I arrived in US, while the I-94 card is still not expired to avoid problems like this.

I guess... the only thing you can do is wait.... antay antay lang... usually you should hear something back about your EAD or AP within 90 days after application... for some kahit a month lang andyan na... depends... swertehan din.

But I do suggest, relax lang... it will come. At least you have already appointment for interview for AOS, di ba? meaning... someone is looking into your application. so no worries... biggrin.gif

US Citizenship General DiscussionClarification - requirements based on being PR for at least 5 years

Hi,

 

I've been here in US for a little over 6 years and am preparing to send in my packet this week on the basis of being married for at least 3 years and staying married to same us citizen, when my husband told me i can file on the basis on being here for 5 years consecutively. He said that less requirements for the first one.

 

My quick question: is my understanding correct that you only need to send the n400 form and these 3 below? No need to send other requirements like child's birth certificate, husband's us passport, irs...

 

Or should i send it anyway to be safe?

 

    1. A photocopy of both sides of your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Card or 'Green Card'). If you have lost the card, submit a photocopy of the receipt of your Form I-90, 'Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card'; and     2. Two identical color photographs, with your name and A-number written lightly in pencil on the back of each photo. For details about the photo requirements, see this specification. Do not wear eyeglasses or earrings for the photo. If your religion requires you to wear a head covering, your facial features must still be exposed in the photo for purposes of identification; and     3. A check or money order for the correct application fee and the biometric services fee for fingerprinting. (Applicants 75 years of age or older are exempted from fingerprinting and the biometrics services fee). Write your 'A-number' on the back of the check or money order.

 

Thanks in advance for your response.

CanadaDoes she have the right to be upset???What should I do?
lol... your experience is almost my expereince, in almost all ways. In this situation, i was in your fiance's shoes...

You can't really expect your fiance to always understand you. As for my case, I knew as well about third party, I knew that my then fiance-now husband also loves me the same way that you feel for your fiance and I love him so much too. That's the only reason why i stayed. But to tell you honestly, from my experience, there are times that jealousy can eat up on your fiance's feelings, there's just no reassuring on that whatever you say. There were times that since there are two of us at the same time, he would tell me about the other girl, hoping and wanting to let me know and be open to me, but oh boy, it hurts so much... I just tried to listen. Honestly, I didn't know how i survived that. I just tell myself after we get over this, I can only be a stronger person.

There are times I think about a lot of things that are unfair for me, given that situation but I since I love him, I felt sorry that if i decide to leave the relationship, that he will be stuck there with the other girl, and Personally i didn't think my guilt can allow that. Third party can also use emotional blackmail from you. In my case, There's no telling what your fiance will do, as for my case, I told myself that I will just wait for him to tell me if he wants me to leave, that way i won't have any regrets and guilty feeling as it was his choice... I waited until he finally decided that it's over with him and the other girl and that's why it worked out for us... now we are married.

In your case my friend, it will be up to you as the man, and i think as the offending party to decide and finally end it with the other one you used to date. You can't be sailing in two boats. If it worked before, it will not work forever. If it's the money that you are concerned with, you can just give it up, its just money... and I'm sure you can just get it back with hard work. But the scars you are making on your fiance's heart will stay forever and would be harder to replace. I can't tell if your fiance will do what I have done for our relationship, or will be strong enough as well to endure that emotional torture.

CanadaDiscrimination?
I kinda had the same experience like this. When i got a job interview, they were asking about H1B visa. I told them flat out that I don't need sponsorship for a visa and that I am here legally and allowed to work. They didn't make a big fuss about it, they gave me the job anyway. I just showed them my work permit during that time, and when my greencard came, i updated and submitted it to HR.

CanadaAmerica's Got Talent
we watched it last night.. I feel both Kevin Skinner and Barbara singing from their heart when they perform.

I thought Barbara would win..
vs
USC Husband thought Kevin, the chicken catcher, will and he did...

After the results were announced, he commented more americans listen to country music than opera.. I guess he has a point..

With what he said i guess he knows better in terms of what americans like... that should just be right, because i am still a foreigner in this country and admits i still don't know much about american living to predict outcomes like this... just got me thinking...

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAfraid a dire mistake has been made..please help!

Yes that is all correct, except she never indicated she worked on the AOS. Thanks


Did she get her job here in US before you filed for AOS or after?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionColor copies of Green Card and Driver's License?
Doesn't have to be color copies... as long as it's a clear copy you are ok with that.

We will be submitting our I-751 ROC early next week and I have a last-minute question.

Does it matter if the photocopies of the Green Card and driver's licenses are in color or B&W?
(I'm including both driver's licenses because they show the same address - I know they aren't actually required.)

Thanks!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionTo list adult child on I-751 or leave off
Hello!

I will be removing conditions pretty soon this year and so i was reading a lot thru this process.. I think you need to put your son there in the I-751 form even if she's not in the US. There will be an option in Part 5 if living with you, then just choose option for NO.

This question has been raised before and I have not found a definitive answer. We're submitting our I-751 ROC next week and would appreciate input.

My son is 24 years old, Canadian living in Canada, didn't want to move to the U.S. with me and was not listed on any previous paperwork. Should I list him on the I-751 application or not? Should I list him but add a note saying that he has no A# and is not immigrating?

From what I've read, I will have to list him on the N-400 application - will it seem odd if he's suddenly listed there but has not been included anywhere before then?

Thanks!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionPresenting evidence for ROC

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiontoo early to send package?
the start of 90 days before your GC expires is Aug 13 (Friday). If I were you, I will send it week of Aug 16-20. Just to make sure that it's within the 90 day.. no sense of taking the risk of getting it mailed out a day early and rejected for sending it a little soon. cushion will be nice.

My Greencard is gonna expire Nov 10th. I was wondering if I can send my ROC-package on Aug 12th. Or would that be too early?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionEmployment while removing conditions
Should i need to inform my employer about my legal status for removal of conditions if I have not received the 10 year greencard yet and the expiration date on the 2 yr greencard comes (in Nov 18)?.. Are there ramifications on that?

What is my status when the 2-yr greencard expires and I have not received the replacement card yet? Will my employment be affected?

I am just about to send my packet tomorrow... still within the 90 day window.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 Affidavits and pictures
Hello!

I would just like to throw in my thoughts...

For the affidavits, I guess the important thing is to show how this person could have attested to your valid relationship, lets say spend with them quite a lot, etc.. and also make sure that she puts in contact information as well..

FOr the photos, what i did is arrange the pics in a timeline manner by date, most important moment that could attest to the marriage, covering the last two years of the marriage. Filename for each photo would describe what that event was for or where it was taken and date, and then printed it off as thumbnails in walmart. I submitted like 60 photos in thumbnails but it's only 2 pages of printed photos. It may be small but i think enough to show as proof. I don't think they care enough to really look at those in big size anyway.
