Philippines	Bank Statements for Interview	QUOTE (DaleandPat @ Dec 15 2009, 08:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Mr.&Mrs.A @ Dec 15 2009, 08:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am paperless with my bank, so nothing is mailed to me. I am suppling the statements to show direct deposits of my retirement checks which there are (3). Will printing the on-line view of the page of my deposits be acceptable to embassy? Keep in mind the on-line versions do not show complete account number. I will not print every page of each statement, just the deposits to cut down on total number of pages. Also, do you think the embassy cares what the ending monthly balances are? Any good advice is greatly appreciated. I am not sure about printing out the statements. I have also gone paperless, but I did go to someone in the bank and they added all my deposites for the past year and created a letter with a signature. Tomorrow I will find out if it worked. That way the letter was on letterhead specific to the bank and a real signature. The bank also printed out all my deposites and I sent that to Pat for her interview. I suppose by all the deposites it can be seen that the deposites should add up close to what the W2s claim for your income and your pay stubs should show some of the same figures. Good luck, Dale Oh WOW, Pat's interview is tomorrow!! Good luck! -Phil	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2009-12-15 10:21:00
Philippines	Fiance's 11th trip to the Phils	Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Welcome to America!!!! -P QUOTE (George and Movi @ Dec 15 2009, 05:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Today, my fiance arrived in gensan. This is his 11th visit to be with me and my children. For the past 7 years since we have known each other, he lives with us for 3 months every 4 or 5 months. However, due to some financial constraints and while waiting for the results of the petition and finally the visa, it took 13 months between his last visit and now. We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas and new year together with our friends and family.This will be his 3rd Christmas with us. As we say, fun times for all before the four of us( my fiance, myself and my 2 children) head to States this February. We already received our visas and the plane tickets. The next 2 months, we will take care of some of the wedding preparations, attend to all stuff at work before i leave, comply with the documentation for the NCLEX, set up the arrangements for the NGO my fiance organized and how will it be run in our absence, and we will see more children this christmas. And of course, we will be spending more time with each other as this will be another long christmas vacation. For all who will be spending Christmas with their loved ones, CHEERS!! Its time to celebrate! The waiting, patience and determination finally paid off. For those who are still waiting, just keep the faith and hold on. May we have all a blessed Christmas and a bountiful year to come!!	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2009-12-15 10:13:00

Again, we would like to thank you guys for having been an avid fan of this site. Thank you for all your suggestions and advises, as well as your answers to all my queries. It really helped a lot. When I arrived in SLMEC, lots of women don't really know anything about the processes they had to go through but I stood up and told them what I learned. It was a heartwarming experience, being able to help others just because of VJ. I will be posting my medical experience as soon as I get home. Right now, I feel like a lab rat, my arms are aching and swelling due to the shots that were given to me earlier this afternoon. More power to VJ!!!

It's a seminar!!! aren't they supposed to just educate, talk about going to US or something???? They think they can ask for anything they want, and can be a real pain the A__, besides divorce paper, they ask mine, what size underwear I wore, copy of my birth certificate, copy of my passport, and requested a letter signed by her mother, stating her observation of me when she met me. They are a piece of work Simply unbelievable. And it just keeps going on and on. The evil nuns that are throwing up one last obstacle for the Pinays trying to leave the country in seek of a better life and love in America. Even when American authorities have granted the visa to leave, the nuns are there to seemingly overrule the decision if they think Pinay should not marry the guy. It's almost like the nuns there have issues and belong to the church of the perpetually bad day! Oh come on folks... they just do their job as they see it. As was stated, they are supposed to educate. To do that, they need information about you and your relationship. They are not evil. They want to discover if your relationship is real or not. They need to do that in order to discover just how they will need to counsel you. Your visa was granted from the civil side of the government and now you are dealing with the religious side. As I understand it, the Philippines is a mixture of both civil and religion in government. I am not saying anything is wrong with that. Just that, that's the way it is... They do what they do because they care about you. Not because they want to suck one last PHP from your pocket... -P	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2009-12-15 09:26:00

She explained many things to me already but the rest I know I will see. She told me all the covert instructions but didn't explain why and I put 2 and 2 together and know now why she said what she did and now you just confirmed it. She is a little worried I won't want to stay there also sometimes I have to ask her 2 times why this or that before she fully explains, but now she explains right away. Usually she is happy go lucky, shy and calls me by a loving nick name but when she is serious she says me real name and repeats the info over and over and won't let me say a word till she's finished what she has to say and I say okay and promise and repeat after her what she says. I love this woman. I am 6' tall and she is 5' and says she will fight any one for me and will protect me. I believe her. In the net cafe someone did something wrong and she put them in their place. I saw everything on the web cam. I don't know what she said but she put fear in everyone there and even the people who were bystanders apologized and fell over themselves to bring peace. When a lion roars the jungle listens. thanks for your reply and all the help. I hope in the future I can hear from you again. MERRY XMAS.	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2009-12-22 10:14:00

Philippines	transfering plane question imigration question also	I would suggest using a travel agent. They can get a custom flight schedule for you and not that much more cost. Just tell them where you want to land and they do the rest. A direct flight to Vegas would be the best option in my opinion. How many bags does she have now? She is allowed 2 bags. You are correct about rechecking her baggage. All international flights go through customs and a recheck is required. This is why I suggest a direct flight to Vegas as POE. If you decide not to do the direct flight, allow about 4 hours between flights. Better to wait a bit than miss a flight. Sometimes baggage arrives very slow. Last time I went through SFO it took almost 50 minutes to collect bags. A connecting flight from the International Airport in SFO to a domestic flight requires walking about a block down the street from the international to the domestic airport. As well as going up a flight of stairs to move from the Arriving to Departing flight deck. Go over to get her man, make her feel at ease. If nothing else, jump on a commuter flight from Vegas and meet her in baggage claim. She is not going to want to lug bags a block and find her way around a strange airport in a strange country all by herself. And then fight her way through a check in line to get back into the security side of the domestic airport. Plus she will be dead beat from a over night flight with little sleep. -Phil QUOTE (robleftca @ Dec 3 2009, 01:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hello VJ We are still waiting for grace to get her visa but we are sooo excited. She has been packed since sunday :-) We should get it either today or tommarrow I hope. If you don't know she turned in paper on 23rd and they said she was done. So it should take a little longer then a week with thanksgiving and the 30th holiday. First questioon is about coming to America. The best deals i find is by expeida. The only problem is i worry about her flying into Los angeles, SFO or Hawaii then missing the plane transfer after customs. for me it was quick. I have read that they have to fill out many papers and go through long line for imigrants. A two our delay in plane transfers worry me. i know when i went into LA once, It took me about 1 hour just to get to the other terminal. She would be coming into LA and if I understand now she would have to REcheck her bags?? I want her to just fly to vancouver canada then to vegas would be so much easier but it cost about 100 more think all the hassel and them possibly chaarging her for bags when she switches airlines might be worth it? ANY ADVISSE WOULD BE HELPFULL. Buying a ticket is my next question. I have read some people are givin a hard time trying to board the plane when a ticket isn't purchesed in their name? I am looking to buy it by expedia. I read i shoudl copy my credit card and send her a copy of this? Anyone have problems buying for their fiance? She doens't want to buy it cause she is scared she make mistake and fly wrong place lol. Now one more question guys, i read where they can have up to 23 killo bags. My future mother in law is givng grace a heaving blanket as it is cold here in winter(vegaas). How should she go about thsi as her bag already is close to or over 23 killos? thanks guys robert	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2009-12-03 09:57:00

My schedule today was 1pm. I was really worried that there might be a problem with regards to my x-ray but I was so thankful when I heard my name being called at the 2nd floor for immunization.I went out of SLEC at 6:30pm.

Philippines	Interview questions asked? experiences? advice?	One thing I know they really look at is your financial papers. Your 1040's and W2's. Knowing the basics about you are also good. Home address and Phone number. Where you work and what you do for a living. Maybe the names of your brothers and sisters, your parents... things about you and your family... wedding plans... what your parents think about her... I had Shirr include a card my mother sent that welcomed Shirr into the family. You get the basic idea? Things that show you have both tried to make each other a part of each others lives even though you are far apart. Tell your sweetheart to speak up and not be shy here. Make sure she understands the questions being asked and to speak up if she is not sure she understands. Now is the time to be bold! I wish you the best! -Phil Hi all! Our case package has recently cleared NVC, according to the DHL website I believe it probably arrived in Manila at 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 4. I received the NVC letter today, Vicky already has a copy of the NOA2, so she's going to go for the medical asap, I'm going to try again tonight (their morning) to set her an appointment on the 888 number, last night they hadn't entered the package in their database yet. Any comments/ advice/ experiences on interview? What questions did they ask? How was the interview experience? What documents did they ask to see? Vicky should have everything she needs paperwork-wise, my I-134, tons of proof of meeting and emails, chats, txt-to-emails, etc. I sent her everything I sent to USCIS in the I-129 package and then the I-134 besides, including both our signed letters of intent to marry, boarding passes, itinerary, hotel receipts, etc. She has copies of the NOA1 & 2. She's sorting through our thousands of pages of emails and chats picking what she will bring to show we intend to stay married, have kids, etc. Any advice how many pages to print out? Any advice? I've read they ask very few questions and the interview is pretty short, like 3 minutes. I'm very nervous, this is the last step (besides the POE interview), and I'm so excited for her to be here and to start our life together. I know it's likely to be approved but I can't help worrying about it, we're so close now and I just really want everything to go well. Any tips or experiences or information will be appreciated!

Philippines	plane tickets	I agree. If the person doing the recommending does not have a profile filled out and a time line, then I would suspect its just a rep of the travel agent pushing SPAMM onto the forums... -Phil I'm always suspect of recommended travel agents here. Sure, there are some good ones, but recently a K1 immigrant here got scammed by a recommended travel agent. Sorry, but travel agents are a dime a dozen, and we should all find our own to avoid getting scammed. You might even get a better deal on your own. If you spend a bit more, so what. You got a valid ticket and are on your way to US and your honey. Some folks take bad risks trying to save a little bit. Common sense tells us not to be penny wise and pound foolish. Happy Travels!

Philippines	help adjustment of status for 10 years GC..	it is on my passport It would appear they backdated the Green Card... I would not have expected them to do that... -P	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2010-01-07 16:00:00
Philippines	help adjustment of status for 10 years GC..	I understand they are different... But... Filing for Removal of Conditions is the same is it not? Unless a CR1/IR1 does not need to remove conditions??? As far as the POE saying "that since i dont have GC yet that stamp serves as my GC" may be true... I would think that once you actually got a GC, the date on the GC would over rule any other date.... -Phil the IO told me @ my POE that since i dont have GC yet that stamp serves as my GC oh well i dont have any problems with the time it indicates on my GC when is the expiration date PS stamp on K1 visa and CR1/IR1 visa are diffrent	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2010-01-07 15:11:00
Philippines	help adjustment of status for 10 years GC..	No. your passport stamp does not matter with ROC. The ONLY date that matters here is the expiration date on your GREEN CARD!! Use that date to determine when the 90 time limit starts! -Phil YES, i just looked at my passport stamp it says it will expire may 4, 2011 that means i have to file for removing of condition 90 days before may 4, 2011 since i got here may 5, 2009 and from what i understand again the stamp on your passport @ POE serves as your GC when you got here	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2010-01-07 14:23:00

Philippines	Which passport should I get for our baby?	Yup, I know and we plan to do that this summer. -P when your baby is born shes already a US citizen if you want her to have a dual citizenship you need to report her BC to the consulate	PhiLandShiR	Female	Philippines	2010-01-11 10:59:00
