Thank you for the 4 of you who replied to my querry. Since my piercing is new my husband need to follow what piercer said to us that not to touch or move it until 6-9 months coz its not safe and prone to infection. He just dont like to have a prob in the future so just decided not to take it off and if it will bp the metal detector that the time we will tell them that i have a belly pierce and bring the paper to let them know not good to take it off.

My concern now, if they know i have a belly pierce is this be a problem in going back or entering here in USA? I heard from a friend that i can't or hard for me to go back or enter here coz of the belly pierce;-)

I am so happy to go back to my homeplace and excited but mix emotion of this pierce thing that makes me afraid i can't be with my two love one specially to my 6 months old baby:-(

If it sets off the metal detector, they will check you with a hand wand metal detector.

I have yet to see small things like ear-rings set off the metal detectors.


O.T
funny coz the last time i went back to phil, i was one of the chosen one, to use the body scanner and was held 10 minutes coz they saw a metal on my lower left chest... which there isnt no metal at all... i was pissed w/ mix of nervousness that i raised my tshirt and showed my skin (to the officers and to all the people in the airport lol) to prove im not hiding something lol... they finally let go of me but it was scary knowing im not an american (although hubby was w/ me) and i really wana go to phil that time. lol

good luck!!! if it rings the alarm then show your belly button. God bless!


Hehehe..thanks for the information i think i need to ask the place where i have it nalang if how can i take this off. This info is really helpful to me^-^ coz don't have plan to show my tummy to everybody! lol

PhilippinesYou know you are married to a Filipina if....
i think i read this before coz my husband search this it is written by a foreigner who married a filipina their is a website that ung mga foreigner they are sharing and writing their experiences to how their filipina wives act.

its sound funny but i really know that its really true most. we filipino knows na mostly mga pinay come from the province is married with a foreigner talaga..but as what i read before they are not trying to make fun with their wives but they are just sharing how they adjusted and thought their filipina wives.

I forgot the websites where my husband found it but im pretty sure it is written by a foreigner as what i remember:-)

It sounds funny but i really saw when i was a college and we have a tourism tour in bohl and we stayed in a nice resort and their is a foreigner who have a filipina gf that his the one who teaches her how to used the utensils?! its funny but itr true..

This one is not to offend filipinas me myself but its really true talaga na some of us are like that hindi naman all sa lista makita mo for one person but each talaga merong ugali na nandiyan sa lista:)

PhilippinesBringing younger sister from phil
Hello to all of you,

Thank you so much for all the replies here i appreciate it a lot. She can really go here in US and easy to apply a job if she wanted to coz we really believe she can do it. But, if she will do it she come here to work for a teacher so how can she help me in taking care of my kids if she will do it? and aside from that she is afraid to work here as a teacher in US coz of her co-worker who happen to teach here and end up doing suicide coz of the bad students here in US.

My husband don't like me to work coz of the baby so that's why it came up with this idea. I really wanted to go back to phil and work there but i know my husband have a point too. So that's the reason why i tried to ask all of you here with regards to this topic.

Getting my mother and making her migrate here is not really an option for now coz she can't help me in taking care of my child coz she easily get sick and don't need to work so hard coz she will have an attack so easily.

How about taking a scholarship for masteral here? so what she need is a student visa? if she will go to school during afternoon and night time and i will work in the morning? do u think it is a good idea?

Is your sister willing to come here to be a baby sitter since she is already working as a teacher in the Philippines?

Hi guys, Tried to visit your website but everything is private.



Hello,

Yeah, she is willing to do it coz it the same salary she can get from her job and she don't need to travel everyday and tired of working always and all the extra work in school the principal pass it to her.

While being her she can watch her nieces and teach them too..

PhilippinesBringing younger sister from phil
Hello everyone,

I am a permanent resident here in U.S. and have kids..I am planning to get my younger sister to help me take care of my kids so that i can get a job here. I really want to work here in U.S. but my husband don't allow me coz so expensive to pay for a day care and we don't like to leave our baby to other people hands.

So, just recently i am thinking of getting a filipina maid since it is cheaper i know everybody will grab for 20,000 pesos coz its already free accomodation and food. So instead of getting other people i will get my younger sister.

I just have concern if this will be a big problem since she is an intelligent woman a teacher of a science high school major in physics and chemistry and graduated as a cum laude in one of the reputable university in cebu.

Do u think it might be a problem of getting her? What we need to do so that i can get her? what petition or papers we gonna process?

Hope to hear people who is knowledgeable for this and can help me on how to do this steps coz i really want to work and help my hubby even just a little and at least i will not worry about my kids.

I like her coz at the same time she can teach my kids of everything so i know she can teach a lot of things to my kids while i am not arround.

I cannot get my mother coz she is still working as a government employee and kind of sickly and cannot even hold my daughter when we visited there coz her arms is just an artificial bones that is why i gonna get my sister.


Thank you so much and hope to hear your all advices...

Hello to all my Kababayans if you have some ideas to my query.

We convinced my sister to apply for a teacher here since i think this is the best way she can go here and be with each other again.

She is one of the best teacher in our country and its even the Department of Education who look and find her and ask to work for a teacher. She is a cum laude for BS major in physics and chemistry and we find out their are lots of hiring for US.

My question is...is their anyway we can find an agency to help us find a job to a particular states and place here in US? We like her to work just near in my place or just in my area so that its easier for her for the finances. She don't need to pay her own monthly rental for the house, electric and everything and can just drop her off and get her after work while she is still saving money for her own car and taking a permit and road test.

If you have any ideas and know some agency and if you have the same experienced for going here as a working visa i appreciate it a lot.

Hope to hear for all of you.


I looked unto this type of work before, applying in an agency to work as teacher in the US. This was year 2003. The agency had this particular state and school. Applicants could not choose the state they want to get into.







OK, thanks for the info..if she will be hired is their anyway she could transfer a state in the future? or if its the same state is it ok she can apply to other school within the state?

Please let me know and i do appreciate it a lot.

What we gonna do? do i need to call the embassy and ask about it or it is my fiancee need to call the USEM in manila to check if its really true..

I tried to call their number they give it here in visa journey but the guy who answered my call before he is not good in aswering querries he dont even tell me yes or no!

Second, is my interview date is oct. 4 as what they told my fiance is it possible we can change it to later date even oct.8 coz my fiance will be coming here but he will leave in US by oct. 4 and arrive oct. 5 fare is so expensive and it is only oct. 4 he can get $ 1,800 and the other dates are so expensive already!

Please give me an idea for other members who knows what i need to do and what number we wil contact and if possible person that we can talk to the embassy that could help my quirries.

thanx a lot my dearest friends!



just go guides and click fiancee or k! visa and then in the right side their is an instruction and more lists for the things u need to do..about an SSN id they will ask another i d so just tell ur fiancee to bring any valid i d she have in her country other than passport and birthcertificate..maybe an alumni id, employment i d for her previous employment in her country and or any valid government i d she has will do.

QUOTE (scientist1976 @ Nov 1 2007, 10:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hey people, I already received the NOA2 approval. I was wondering if its possible for my fiancee to go to the interview in Manila without her passport. The reason why I am asking is because there is misspelling on her Birth certificate. And she is getting the run around in obtaining her passport. She lives in the Philippines. Is there anything she can do get her passport quicker. Also can she do her medical and interview without a passport? She is in panic mode now. What can we do?? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.



Tell ur fiancee not to panic passport is very important all she need to do is work hard for it u still have a time in making it correct its just so easy for her if its the DFA who misspell it if u really directly see it wrong then DFA will change it without any pay but if she just have her passport longtime ago even if DFA is the one who get it wrong or mis spell it u need to pay again for the passport fee. If their is any mistake in her documents for the spelling of her name she need to go to a lawyer and have the correction in her name and seal it or notary then she can go back to DFA. She need to work it soon now and im sure she wi;;l be finish before one month.

Just write me back and i will answer if i have something to help with regards passport thing..she can do overtime it is only two working days for 750 pesos only before i am not sure for now how much it is for the costs.


God bless to both of you and tell ur fiancee not to panic and just be ready with all the papers she neeed to do. good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureshow long to wait for the passport/visa delivery
QUOTE (ailyne @ Nov 16 2007, 03:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello everyone.

Can anyone help me know the reason why does the embassy (Manila,Phils.) did not turn over my parent's visa/passport to Delbros (courier) yet?
My parents have had their interview last month (OCtober 24), passed the interview and have instructed them not to go back in the embassy anymore and just wait 3-5 days for the delivery. We have the tracking number of the Delbros Company but they said they don't have them yet. We called the embassy many many times and they always, still processing. "Still processing?"
I assumed my parents will get their visa/passport within a week so I decided to buy them the ticket 15 days after their interview. Unfortunately, I need to pay airline penalties and service charges from my travelling agent and rebook another day until the end of this month.
Please any information you can give me is highly appreciated. Thank you so much.



Hello to you here in visa journey...as what i know it depends on where you live if its in the big city that they can easily access and deliver it it will takes so many weeks for the provinces..

About your ticket don't need to pay it from the travel agencies to make sure just wait the visa to be delivered in the house and that is the time that you will pay the ticket. The plane ticket have an option date when to buy it so just ask the travel agencies to keep the information always and make it renew always they can make it.

AP mean Advance Parole . This is the I-131 form from USCIS website which is for travel document applicable if u have plan to leave the country before green card.This is optional but since we don't know what will happen it is safer to file this as well since the payment is included in AOS which is $ 1010.


The vaccine supplement from Civil Surgeon you have to find one near the area . try the Civil surgeon locator in www. uscis.gov


Hope this can help.



hello Riza,

thank you so much for your reply..heheheh...but about the vaccine we already tried it and tired to do for vaccine record and ask for I 693 but we searched that is no such form for I 693. I already did my Td vaccine last wednesday and they just added it and note down into the DS 3025 form. So now my husband and i just planning to pass the DS 3025 since all the information for our vaccine record is there.

Thank you so much and wish ur happiness kicking.gif

QUOTE (anka @ Jan 16 2008, 01:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I have just a quick question, and I apologize if this has been asked before...

In order to have the fiance visa (K1) approved, does the foreign fiance have to be currently employed? What job/employment/financial requirements does the invited fiance need to have?

Any and all advise is much appreciated!

Thanks!


yeah i think it is just good coz for me and my fiance he stop his previous job before to visit me in my country for one month and while he is doing his masters project but he get a new job right after he comeback..visited me last feb and went hom march and we filed the petition end of april and they get started first week of may. So, i think no worries for you and your fiance as long as he is doing good and have a good record and have savings to prove he can support you.

Hope my experiece helps good.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOne-way vs. Round Trip
i will just share my knowledge as far as i know..for me, i tried to researched before online, and the roundtrip is cheaper than a oneway and some of the websites one way is very expesive than rt and some just the same price. From phil last october 2007 i searched my ticket will be $1, 800 but i tried to do alternative since i have so many friends in the travel industry i ask favor if they can find a ticket for me.

I think u have to visit a travel agency in your area coz airlines also and travel agency they have agreement some travel agencies that is accredited on the airline their ticket is cheaper compared to the airline prices. Try to differentiate their prices and the online prices dont deal fast coz travel agents is their for you to quote they can look for a flight for you and do initial booking and they will just give you an option date when to pay it so no worries if u dont like it so dont pay it..

You have to tell also that its your first time to come in the US coz they might lower the price coz still ur from japan not a greencard holder yet that is what i remembered to my classmate who prepared my plane ticket.

Hope it helps
