Hi everyone! biggrin.gif

I thought of making a record of the US whereabouts of each VJ member from the Philippines. This will give us a idea which member is living close to the city/state we are in and maybe we would want to meet each other in the future. After I gather the information of all members, I will make a table by city and state for everyone's reference. Are you game? wink.gif

I'm starting with mine:

City: Mesa
State: Arizona

Good info here.. The letter of the law here in the Philippines is:

22 and under - Notorized parental CONSENT required.
23 or 24 - Notorized parental NOTIFICATION required.

But, as correctly pointed out above -- this doesnt apply for the US Embassy.

It DOES technically apply for CFO. But , you know, this is the Philippines , so adherence to laws are based on time and place and person you are dealing with.....<sigh>

Warm Regards,
Samby



Very good info! Thanks for sharing!

tallcoolone having the local license IS NOT a requirement in order for u to sit in for NCLEX.

but wen u work in the U.S. passing the NLE wud be somehow "like" a requirement cus theyl ask u for sure if passed or took the NLE..

passing the NLE, though its totally different from NCLEX, gives employers idea of..if u didnt pass ur local board, how can then u can pass the NCLEX especially that ur a foreign grad.


so if ur question asks if its a requirement for NLCEX - answer is NO (the request of photocopied license can be substituted by a diploma)

but if ul ask do you need to take local board and passed before working in the U.S. as a foreign nurse - YES, as some employers get that qualification from a foreign grad.

better check www.allnurses.com (NCLEX FORUM) - its like the "visa journey" for nurses
and the BON where ul apply for nclex.


Sorry, But every comment you posted is incorrect and is opposite of what every one else stated.


Actually tallcoone, shes is right. The reason for a lot of confusion is that most nurses that come to the US, come to the US on "work" visa. If you come to the US as a nurse on work visa, an NLE is required, but that requirement is not coming from the board of nurses. It is usually coming from US Immigration or the employer.

If a nurse comes to the US as a wife or soon to be wife of a US citizen, then that nurse is not coming under "work" visa isnt she. That nurse is not subject to that NLE required by Immigration. That nurse would just need to comply with her state's board of nursing and most state do not require NLE.

QUOTE (envy_me @ Apr 24 2008, 02:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
and so i had my interview today..

my interview appointment is 7:30am, i arrived at the USEM 5:30am (nde nman ako bibo! smile.gif ) lotsa peeps offering visa picture and seat services. don't be surprised by the peeps offering u seats and askin for the P30 seat fee.. wacko.gif

around 6:15-6:30am the guard started to call peeps that are scheduled for 7:30am interview, and so we immediately walked towards the line near gate 2.

at the gate 2, we were asked to show appointment letter and an ID, after passing the guard, we passed through a door where all your bags and stuff will be scanned, then pass through pavilion, and we entered the USEM.

inside the USEM, we were asked to sit on blue chairs and wait til the guard call our row. then we waited for several minutes then we were asked to stand on line where they gonna ask for your DS forms and in return they gonna give you a number that you’re gonna use the whole time you're there. (note:make sure u have filled them out correctly and completely, hassle kse pag nde). after u got the number you have to wait for your number or your name to be called for the pre-screener or finger scanning.
(note:pinoy lahat ng pre-screener.)

then, i was called for finger scanning first, i repeated it for 3 times since my fingers seem wet and that when i try to push it down the scanner it wouldn't show perfect prints.. after that i was asked to sit for a while and wait for my number to be flashed on the screen.
and so my number was flashed and i was asked to go to window2 2. the guy asked for my birth cert and nbi, but insisted that he gets my cenomar.. he did smile.gif he asked my questions about my birth cert.. then he asked for the affidavit of support and income tax return 2007 but i gave him 2006, 2007, and w2.. then asked for pictures and emails, i said we hav no email since we chat everyday, i also told him i got phone bills of my fiance.

so all in all, with the pre-screener i submitted birth cert, nbi, affidavit of support and income tax returns w2, 2006 and 2007, pictures and phone bills and chat logs.. also with the pre-screener i was asked some questions like when is my bday for several times.. LOL! then i was asked to sit at the waiting area and wait for my number to be called.

and my number was flashed for the final interview.. WINDOW: 28
i entered the room and he greeted me good morning..
i sat and said "hello, good morning!"
he asked me to swear that all imma say is true.. i said "YES!"

here are the questions : (note:this is how i remember the order the questions were asked to me)

1. who is your petitioner?
2. when is his b-day?
3. where was he born?
4. was he ever married?
5. how did u meet him?
6. when was the first time you talked to him?
7. what does he do for work?
8. what do u do for work?
9. how many times did he come to visit
10. for how long?
11. when was the last time he visited?
12. how many times did he come to visit you?
13. why didn't he come back?
14. did he meet you parents?
15. why would you wanna marry him?

then he looked at the phone bills of my fiance, our pictures and he read some of our chat logs..

then he said.. "well, everything is fine.. we just need one more document from you"..
my face became serious and he said "u don’t have to worry, here's what i need you to do.. when you go outside, wait for your name to be called and pay for your visa delivery"..
i smiled then asked if that is all.. he said "yes" then i said "thank you"..

outside.. my name was called after around 2 minutes, the guy from window 37 asked me if i already paid delbros for doc verification, i said yes and he asked me to show the receipt, i showed the receipt and he gave me a pink and white slip, i dint ask why i got the white slip since almost all girls got them and i heard from the girl infront of me when i was standing on line at window 37, she was advised that its for document verification..

this was my experience and hope it will help..

Hello Everyone

I have not been on the forum in a while.

My IR-1/ Cr-1 case is pending as of January 10,2008. I filed in October.
As I had mentioned in other posts my husband was granted a Tourist Visa in december and when he arrived at the port of entry they let him stay with me for 6 months. So we are basically waiting it out together in puerto Rico.

I know that I should be receiving a request for evidence but I have not heard from them yet. Should I call the USCIS?

Ohh...How do I update my timeline?, I can seem to be able to do it...

Thanks

I am confused because the schedule of the interview is on May 16, 2008, 8:30am and the medical exam schedule indicated is on May 16, 2008, 12:00am. Is this how it works? helpsmilie.gif Is the clinic open at this time?

Our plan was for me to visit the US within this few weeks and stay as long as the I-94 allows while waiting for the immigration process to complete. But, something unexpected happened, we might have to change our plan.

Two weeks ago, I went for a surgery to remove the ovarian cysts and the doctor found some hard cells on my left ovary. He did a biopsy of the hard cells and the pathology report came back saying that the biopsy expressed two of the cancer tumor markers. That threw us off our plans!

While I am still recuperating and the wounds are healing, a series of blood tests, scans and scopes have been scheduled to identify malignancy, if there is any that presents. So far the tumor marker tests on the blood samples all came back fine, and the CT scan did not detect any malignants. I have scheduled a colonoscopy and gatroscopy next Tuesday and possibly a mammogram after that.

The gynecologist who did the ovarian cystectomy suggested a second surgery to remove the left ovary as a preventive measure and go on to remove the whole reproductive system if it's confirmed to be ovarian cancer. I have sought the second opinion of another gynecologist and talked to a friend who is an oncologist, both of them think it's too drastic to do that (remove the left ovary) when there is no evidence of malignancy. They suggested further screenings and a few monitoring measures be done regularly.

I have sold the business that I used to run and in the midst of disposing the furniture and car. While it's heart wrenching to see my hard work in the past few years is going down the drain to pay for the medical expenses. I am aware that I only need the money when I am alive. :-) I am also aware that cancer is curable and it's possible to live a long and productive life after cancer.

Medical expenses are much lower here compare to the States, but I have to pay it out of my pocket as I am not covered by health insurance. So, there is this discussion between my husband and I about the possibility of getting treatments in the states. He possibly can get me on the health insurance through his work, but we are not sure the coverage, the window of non-coverage period and the condition that is considered pre-existing.

But, first thing first, I would like to request you to pray for me. Please pray for a clear diagnosis, hopefully it's like what the pathologist suggests: sometime the tumor marker expressions can pull false alarms!

Hello everyone I had my interview today scheduled at 6:30 am for CR 1 visa and it was successful..
Here it goes...

I was called for fingerprinting before the prescreener interview.
Here are the questions with the prescreener...window 20.

When did u marry?
What was your work before? Beauty and sales consutant. So that's where you're good at? Of course.Tell me what do i need to do with my skin? You have dry skin blah blah blah
How come your daughter is in your husband's income tax while his kids arent? because he gave up conjugal share for child support
Does he support you? yes

He didnt ask for any papers. I have a thick file in front of him he said it's complete.


With the lady consul at window 27, middleaged and pretty. (no more oath taking)

So you are...so and so
And your husband is ...
Does he have kids? yes 2
Do u have kids? 1
And hes working as? verification loan officer far from his degree hes a child psychologist and she said oh and smiled.
And your daughter is ....(trailing off) from a previous relationship (my 3year old daughter is a good icebreaker her shoes were in between me and the consul i apologized that she couldnt sit still and she smiled and said it's ok no problem.)
have u ever been to the states or applied for a tourist visa? no and she said...wow u sound american gee thanks...my mom taught english and i had been watching american movies while growing up.
She then clicked and clicked her computer and said well everything loooks great. have a seat we will calll u again for the processing of your visa. (I already saw my file with an APPROVED stamp during the conversation.)

I couldnt resist and asked I will be staying in manila for a few more days can i just pick up my visa? and she said sure no problem. and i saw her change the pink slip to purple and attached it to my file. it will be ready by monday and she stopped and said oh its a holiday so maybe by tues and wed it will be ready.
She said you're good. Congratulations! Then I waited for my name to be called again then i went to window 37 and spoke to the releasing officer he said i will get a call from them to instruct me how to pick up my visa. I asked if my documents have been verified and he said yes we have the results so its ok now. I got the purple slip and left.

I would like to thank VJ for the amazing help it has been for us. I was more confident and secure knowing I have done everything right and more. To the people who have shared their knowledge...I am deeply grateful. More power to the website it has been a tremendous source of information.
To all of you who are still waiting...your time will come and when it does it will be a breeze. Thank you all.

P.S.
Your congressman can help!
My daughter's I-130 petition is still on process (sent last week of april) and my husband sought the help of his congressman for humanitarian reasons since shes just 3 years old and it was approved in vermont in less than 24 hrs , 16 hrs to be exact. he put a call may 15 and it was approved may 16. hence, i brought my daughter to the interview as advised by this person from the congressman's office.
the consul noted that my daughter didnt have to appear for an interview anymore since shes there today. i will have more updates about my daughter's case next week if she can fly with me right away and just finish the process there or just finish all documents here, only expedited.
God Bless!

Hi all. Another question that I've searched for but haven't found a clear answer.

My fiancee has a previous marriage.

Obviously we have her divorce decree... do we need to ALSO have that marriage certificate for the Embassy interview there in Poland?

Much thanks!

Hi guys,
I was wondering if there would be a problem if my fiancee was denied a visa before. She tried to get a tourist visa about 2 years ago. The petition was done through her sister who lives in Boston. Of course she wanted to come a visit me as well.

Hi to All!!!

Im a fiancee of a US Navy. He is station now in Japan. Im applying for K1 Visa. We are planning to get marry in USA then go to Japan. Do u think the Consular Officer will deny my application because after getting married(K1 visa) in the USA, ill go to Japan? Our plan after the wedding, we will have the Adjustment of Status. He might leave me in the USA while waiting for AOS. Is there any same case here that they left USA before AOS? Im confused and nervous now. I hope the Consul Office wont take this against me.

Angel
