Those who have TFC, how much does it run monthly, and how do you go about ordering it. I understand that both Dish Network and DirecTV carry it. My cable company is a very small, local outfit, so I'm sure I'll have to switch to satellite in order to get it.



I have my TFC and GMA coz it's a bundled program of AT&T u-verse it has 22$ per month.

QUOTE (Scott and Mhay @ Dec 7 2009, 11:54 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So for the people that have been to boracay, what hotel do you recommend? I was looking at Bamboo resort.....9 days 8 nights for like 19,000 pesos. this was just a quote i got a couple weeks ago. Just trying to get an idea of where it is good to stay. It will be our real honeymoon, so I dont mind paying a little more. Of course we will be going during high season...I am trying to get there so we can go there over Valentine's day. Any suggestions would be greatly appricated. Thanks



We stayed at Seawind Resort located in Station 1..its really nice with really good buffet food.It;s a bit pricey but worth the tariff.

QUOTE (beng_and_carl @ Sep 8 2008, 04:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
hi fellow VJers! i miss posting on this section! hehe!

well, this post is for my cousin's concern who's planning to annul her husband who's been very irresponsible to them. so, anybody here who filed an annulment case? how did you do it? how's the process? how much did it cost and how long did it take?

if you guys don't feel like discussing it much in this forum, please send me a personal message.

thanks a lot!

best regards to all,
beng



hi beng,

My annulment took 1 year and 8 months and i paid 100K.I had 2 hearings that had been rescheduled becoz the fiscal was not present at that time.So, the annulment process depends the availability of the Judge and the fiscal also.If they are all present during the hearings your case will not take so long time.

Quick question for you all ...

Did any of you include pictures that didn't have the time and date imprinted on the picture?
Unfourtantly I am don't know much about camera's, matter of fact I only bought this camera for the purpose of taking pictures with her and I when I was there.
On the bottom of the RFE it says include "film dated photographs of you and your fiance when last you met"

The problem is the camera setting was defaulted to not include the time and date and I didn't realize this until now and it won't allow me to add the date and time now after the fact to reprint and send the pictures. I read the manual and it sounds like date and time is engraved into the image at the time of taking the picture. However on the digital screen it shows the correct date when the picture was taken ... anyone know how I can get this date to show up when the picture is printed??? I am a little worried now .. I would hope they wouldn't deny us because the pictures are not time dated ... I mean I have the passport with the exit/entry stamps from March and April of this year when I was with her. I also included bank statements showing atm with drawls and also the credit card statement showing the payment to the hotel. Maybe I am just a little over paranoid now because of this whole RFE thing ..

But on the bottom of the page it in bold it says :

Provide film dated photographs ..... which we don't have because the camera won't imprint when I print them out now ..
and
Sign the enclosed Form G-325A forms.



Hi somedaysomehow,

Our pictures has no date also..I didnt set my digital cam at that time but we didnt get RFE..So, dont worry about your pictures it will be fine.Good luck..and hope u can get your NOA2 soon.

Just waaaatin' and waaatchin' GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Poor Nigel's all antsy too.....this wait is the pits!!



Hey Allie,

If you included you Birth Certificate and airline tickets, interny, and other receipts showing the days you were there you probably won't get a RFE for the passport. It is hard to say I think, it seems more or less how much other supporting documents you sent.

I actually did the same thing, I wish I would of read here before I sent our petition in. I also didn't include my passport. It doesn't say to include it in the instructions for the I 129F sad.gif .... I did include my original of my Birth Certificate and all my boarding passes, intenery's, hotel receipts and other receipts ... so hopefully we won't get a RFE for the passport, all it would be doing is supporting what they already are seeing in the first place. So good luck to both of us in not receiving a RFE for this biggrin.gif

Oh and today is exactly 3 months since NOA1 for her and I ... and exactly 3 and 1/2 months since mailing it in ..... NOA2 has to be coming soon right? We sure can only hope and pray.



we are in the same timeline.Hope we can get our NOA2 very soooon...
