PhilippinesFinally together in the U.S.
QUOTE (rjp44 @ Mar 26 2008, 06:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We arrived in Ohio with no problems at our POE in Chicago. Now just the wait for the SSN and green card and we have a 21 month break from all the paperwork. It certainly isn't warm here yet, but my wife is enjoying the coldest temps she has ever experienced.


Very glad your here in the US now.. Just to inform you..make sure you go to the SS office and ask for your Social Security card because even though we marked on our DS forms for the USCIS to send us one they never summitted for a card to be sent to us. We didn't learn this until we visited the SS office ourselves.. Keep that in mind. Ok.. good.gif

PhilippinesWork permit..on CR-1
QUOTE (eau_xplain @ Mar 27 2008, 10:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
With the CR1, your wife is considered a legal permanent resident and is authorized to work. No need for any other work permit. She can start working any time she wants. smile.gif



Yeah thank you for the reply, I just found the same information on the website few seconds ago. Guess it left my mind hehe! Thankz again!! good.gif

PhilippinesWork permit..on CR-1
Ok guys help me with this one here. As some might know my wife is here on a CR-1 visa and just yesterday she received her SSCard a week after applying for it. Now after reading all these question on work permits it kind of has gotten me a bit confuse. Do we need to file some type of work permit or work request form with the USCIS or can she start working right away since we receive a SSCard? I keep reading K-1 posts on this topic but no CR-1 applicants are posting back. Thankz!

PhilippinesDrug Use
QUOTE (David-Mae Forever @ Mar 27 2008, 09:21 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
There have been cases here where the applicants admitted using drugs years ago and they were denied (outright) of pursuing/getting the visa. If being with your fiance/petitioner means a lot to you, a little lie about using drugs won't hurt. It's not that we'll advise you to lie but it seems like being honest about it can cause you big time.

--Mae


Am sorry to agree with you guys but we all know now from reading others mistacks on this question that the best answer is always "NO" even if you have had any type of drug use in your past.. devil.gif

PhilippinesINTERVIEW OF ROSERICK..?
QUOTE (Roserick @ Mar 29 2008, 12:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
So I went to USEM and followed up my wife's case @ window X and the lady told me they have made another request for review on March 5. I asked her what was it about, she didn't tell me, she said she cannot disclose such an information.

All she told me was that I am in AR and just wait till they send the visa..

But I insisted I cannot stay such a long time here in the Philippines, I just need to go back with my family..

Then she told me to write a letter and she will give it to the Consul for expedited service request..


We are very sorry to hear about your problems my good friends. We are waiting to meet your wife back home. Lots of luck buddy!!

PhilippinesDay 9 in the USA...Funny Things She Asked
QUOTE (Frank+Jocelyn @ Mar 28 2008, 11:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We arrived March 20th and so far she has kept me smiling (in more ways than one innocent.gif ). Her questions so far:
  • While landing at the Atlanta airport: What happened to all those trees? (no leaves yet)
  • At Taco Bell: You mean they just let you drink all the Coke you want?
  • Also at Taco Bell: We have to clean our own table?
  • At the clothing store: Can we check the kids section for my size?
  • At home: How do I get the shower to come on?
  • At home: The washer will not spin (lid was open)
  • What is a tampon?
  • How do they know what the weather will be tomorrow?
  • Is this the biggest bag of rice they have?
  • Why do all the ice cubes look the same? (not made by busting ice from a plastic tube)
  • Where does the pee go when you flush on the airplane?
  • You can really make free cell phone calls on nights and weekends?
  • You only take one shower a day?
  • Old people have jobs?
  • They let you take the shopping cart outside?
  • At Wal-Mart: They let you check your own stuff? How do they know you wont steal it?
  • Why does the traffic light have a Yellow?
  • Did you see how those drivers just stopped for us when we crossed the street?
  • Why would anybody want to get a tan?
  • Why don't they have cheese popcorn at the movies?
  • You can make popcorn in the microwave?
  • At the grocery store: Where is the MSG?
  • They let you put the gas in your car yourself?
  • What is that like a rat in the tree? Answer: squirrel
  • What is turkey?
  • College students don't wear uniforms?
  • How does the police man know if you are speeding?
We are having such a great time. I have never smiled so much!

Stay tuned...more to come



That is so freaking funny because my wife is asking me the same questions here in Texas specially does about the Trees with no leaves and about the Squirrels hahahah.

PhilippinesFlying on Korean Air (E-Ticket) purchased in the US..
QUOTE (Roserick @ Jan 16 2008, 01:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I read it somewhere that whenever you fly on E-Ticket they will need to see the Credit Card used to purchase the E-Tickets..

My question is... Do all airlines do this? Also what if you used someone else is credit card to make the purchased like a family member for instance..

Anyone experience this on Korean Airlines?



I flown Korean Air all of the three times I have visited the Philippines and each time I've used a E-ticket. Never have they asked me to show anything other than my PassPort. Don't worry and just enjoy your trip home then back here with your family..

What is the letter for?

What can you possibly reason for a Visa Pickup?

I mean it is written on the guidelines on not to make travel plans..

I would just ask if I can pick up her Visa. If CO ask me why? I just tell him for no reason, or we go out alot..



Hmp? This is the first time I heard of any letter.. Wonder where these people saw this??

PhilippinesTrying to send a wedding ring
Ok look here is what I did for my wife while we were still dating. I purchase a manazine for about 3 dollars, cut a hole somewhere in the middle of it, and placed her engagement ring inside it. I shipped it and got to her safely with not trouble. I believe another reason why she got it with my problem is because it was shipped to her job which is a University there in Pampanga. You can try that but always remember your risking that your mail is going to be lost when mailing to the Philippines. Gud luck! good.gif
