Yeah I been to their main office in Makati. Where did you find a fight from MNL to JFK so cheap? I tried calling here but no one will sell me Korean from MNL to Dallas. Wonder why?? Maybe I'll just have you purchase it there in NYC for us if that is where you purchase your wife's ticket..


I got the quote from my agency.. And yes the KAL website doesn't let you purchase tickets from MNL..

Well does prices are for my wife and daughter..

As for my ticket... I am flying NWA from JFK stop @ Minneapolis MN, then direct from MN to MNL.. Then coming back I am flying KAL..

I got my ticket from cousin's millage bonus.. She told me I can pay her when I come back when I'm ready.. Heheheheh!!

You can call them.. Here..

United Travel World Agency
718-651-7138

Ask for Goldwyn.. Tell em I recommended you..


Ok, I just got off the phone from the Agency and they gave me a good price too. All I have to do is simply convince my wife to go for this new day hehe.
Also there is no problem purchasing it here.. Because their going to pick it up @ the KAL office in Ayala anyways..

I inquired with my travel agent here... It sucks to know that I have no more choices.. Since I got my ticket already and my return flight is Korean Airline.. So I am stuck to whatever price they give me.. sad.gif

Got my wife and daughter a quote.. From MNL - JFK

$770 for the adult
$615 for the child

Guys tell me if this is a good price?


WoW! YOu got a good price for your ticket. My wife asked abt a ticket in Angeles with Korean Airlines yesterday and they quoted her $870.. Are you also going to have your wife fly Korean "Roserick"???

Roserick please don't generalize. Not all government office is corrupt. I'm offended because I used to work in the government also and we were not corrupt. The judge that granted my annulment was not corrupt because my daughter and I have to go through a lot just to get what we have right now.


Ok ok fine.. If you feel that way about it...

No Pun intended..

Just like yours by saying its not...

ok, ok, well enough of those exchanging offensive words, the lesson here is that we must learn how to reply without offending other people.. and stay inline with the question being asked.. I felt there are people here who always want to argue and that's not good.. we're here for information and nothing else. My main concern for refreshing this topic is to know if there's really a separate appointment letter for the medical and for the interview but so much arguing have been going on and yet my question is not answered CLEARLY, thanks for spending time anyway! unsure.gif

hey sistahs! i'm moving my early medical on dec 11 and 12 from dec 19 and 20 coz i'm gonna have a period on those dates (19 & 20).

i called SLEC a while ago and asked if i can have a medical exam if i have a period. this nice lady named cel told me that i can take the medical exam but not all the procedures will be done and this is the physical exam.

so, i just decided to move my schedule to dec 11 and 12. pls wish us luck. i'm gonna be with ate mylene. her interview date is on jan 4. pls add her in the list. she's also here in Vj but not so active. smile.gif

hi all!!!
well my husband suggested for me to learn spanish knowing ive been looking for a job for weeks now and most of the listings always states "bi-lingual is a plus preferably spanish"... here i am interested in a job position yet i dont have any experience and cant speak spansih (well not fluently in a way to make a conversation)... so i guess i would enrol myself in a class...
would online class will do? or its better to be in classroom settings... anyone have gone thru this or will going to? let me know... peace and God bless!!!


You can do it.. Just remember learning spanish from a class is alot different from learning it on the streets or by other spanish speaking people I mean, I know I grew up speaking the language. If your really interested I know you can do it am sure of it.. Just don't quit to early and hold your head up!!

It's only for your NSO Documents like BC, MC and CENOMAR. The US Embassy can verify them as soon as they got your documents.. better to pay in advance (like 3-4 weeks before your interview) so not to cause any delay with the release of your visa.

the visa fee is the peso equivalent of $131. good thing I called a friend who works at BPI before I pay, it's P5,371, the bank will validate your ds-157 (you may bring your own form, the bank can also provide the form), pls note
that only 1 ds-157 will be validated. - i paid this already last jan 8. - i dont know if the rate changed.


What Visa fee are you talking about Noki? Is this fee for K1 visa only or does CR-1 applicants have to pay another fee? I really hope we don't have to pay anything else cuz we are short of money now with all does past fees hehe..
