Philippines	I-94... can be extended???	Ok i know this is a silly and simple question, i posted it to an old thread but the thread is closed and suggested to open a new thread for these inquiries... do an I-94 can be extended?...or if an expired I-94 can be extended? and if a person who is a K1 visa holder can marry another guy here in USA, and just file a waiver?? this thread are for Pinays who give wrong advices to other Pinay.... For a K-1 Visa, the I-94 can not be extended. a K-1 Visa holder can marry someone other than the petitioner, but can not AOS. there is no waiver. they would have to return to their home country and have an I-130 filed for them.

Philippines	NOA2	At this point in time,I wouldn't worry about it. after a couple of months, if it's apparent you will not be able to schedule an interview before the expiration of the NOA2, your fiance can email the embassy to ask for a revalidation of the petition.In the meantime, concentrate on everything else you need to do to prepare for the interview. if you haven't seen it already, here's a link to the interview preparation instructions... http://photos.state....3__rtf2_003.pdf	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-11 01:52:00
Philippines	Tax Time: Can I lower my tax burden before AOS?	Do I assume , she is already here? Before AOS, she has to get here and get married before end of year for claiming married on taxes. Confussed lol I do not think this is in regards to filing status, but to self employed deductions which lower his AGI. yes, you can use a joint sponsor for AOS.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-14 18:12:00

Philippines	WHAT EXACTLY THE REQUIREMENTS NEEDED TO GET A MEDICAL CHECK UP AT ST. LUKES	No Tahoma, not Visa! I had the original petition extended 4 Months! I am sure the Visa also can be extended also? I dont really Know that? a new visa can be issued, but it costs another $350. What if the fiancé(e) must delay their arrival in the U.S.? The K-1 visa is valid for a maximum of six months. If the visa bearer is unable to leave for the United States immediately and the visa expires, a new one may be issued upon written request to the Embassy and the payment of another application fee of U.S. $350. http://manila.usemba...v/wwwh3204.html	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-02 00:31:00

Philippines	I made my wife of 5 months cry.	Wait just a minute..... If this OP just another account for the infamous Nigerian old man who speaks and acts like a child, who talks about his Pinay like she's his property and "the kid" like an object? I thought he took his ball and went home... What was the old username "jrmeila". How many sock-puppet accounts did he have? If this is the same user then isn't it a little dishonest to create yet another account and pretend you're not on of the others you already have?	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-27 11:50:00

Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	hehe: Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. -- I timothy 5: 1-2 and I timothy 3:12-- I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. The only warning regarding age in marriage is to avoid marrying someone young for lustful purposes, and avoid marrying someone older for money. “Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12). Question: Is there anywhere in the Bible that says anything about "age difference" between a man and a woman in a relationship? What is biblically accepted or not? Answer: There are laws regarding marriage in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. They are: 1). People should not marry next of kin. (Leviticus 18:6) 2). A man should not marry a woman without her consent. (Genesis 24:58) 3). A Christian should not marry a non-Christian. (2 Corinthians 6:14) 4). The man should have sufficient means to care for his family. (1 Timothy 4:8) 5). Paul, in I Timothy 5:14, said it is a good idea for women to marry young, but no reference is made of a specific age. 6). Older women are to set an example for the younger women. (Titus 2:3-4) We could infer that older couples should set a godly example for younger couples, which would imply that couples who marry would be close in age. there is nothing in the Bible that speaks directly about age difference in considering a marriage. There was an age difference between Ruth and Boaz, though we don't know exactly how much, only that Ruth was seen to be attractive to young men and Boaz was an older man. "Then he said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich"" (Ruth 3:10). "There was a relative of Naomi's husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz" (Ruth 2:1). Also, did you know King david married a young wife in his old age. He did not know her, but she cared for him and kept him warm. I kings 1:1-5,15. I may just send these things to my Dad and mom to counsel my sister versus dealing with her. I do not know yet as to the right and proper way. i just know we have discussed many many items and many things.... but yet nothing seems apparent to me as to the proper way yet. The one thing which seems appropriate is to only answer her issues in a way which is not causing her to react as being attacked. Darren, it isn't just about looking for Bibal passages you feel will justify your actions. it's about looking into the meaning of the words and how to apply them to your life. " your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path" psalm 119:105	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-29 14:29:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	How was Gretchen, who came from a family with very limited resources able to find you on the internet? One of you had to have been looking. Do you think her family was providing her pocket money to spend time online at an internet cafe in hopes of finding a Kano? What were her ambitions or goals prior to the two of you meeting online? I think the answer lies in the " village family" here that Darren has referred to a couple of times.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-28 20:36:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	I think its best to not write a letter back. Even if your letter is gracious, if you write back, she will likely write back, starting a crazy back-and-forth exchange. If you decide not to listen to advise not to respond to your sister and do it anyways, are you then willing to let it go?	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-28 20:29:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	All I sam saying to this is I felt left out.... It was a case of a whole family there. All but 2 kanos were Filipinos. So out of 30 plus people. There were just 2 of us. It was a hard day for me, but a good day for Gretchen. I just tried to grin and enjoy it. There was the grandmother, 3 brothers, 1 sister, and their spouses plus children. SAturday and Sunday I was around some kanos so we could share and talk while the asawa had fun. But I guess in a way I still have not taken to Filipino food yet. Some of it I like, but much of it is just different tasting to me. I know it is also hard for Getchen for American food as well. But I keep on trying Filipino food. Maybe in time I will develop some taste for some of the food. ok, I can understand that. as far as food, have you tried chicken adobo, tocino, beef tapa, pancit, lumpia? how was the lechon?	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-27 18:51:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	It just leaves only two of us out of the loop in things. Yes, it is their native language. However, it is done intentionally in some respects as to keep the stepdad form knowing things going on which he may not like or approve of. I have caught it several times Christmas day and the day after Christmas. It may not be intentional, but all have been here at least 5 to 6 years....with nearly all of the food distinctly Filipino. I know Filipinos who have been here 20 years and they talk to each other in Tagalog or their dialect. it's not because they trying to hide things from you. Filipinos serving Filipino food, you find that surprising?	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-27 17:45:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	3) Visiting the "village house" here. I call it the village house. It is people from her village, family and friends. 95% of the language spoken yesterday was Visayan. My friend and me were the only english speaking people there. I know he had to feel as left out in the day as I did. I had too keep on asking what was being said so I understood what was going on. My wife had a great day, but I was totally and complete ly lost most of the time. I hate being out of the loop. Speaking in Visayan is intentionally done there by the family to keep the other guy from knowing all that is going on. He is happily clueless. I've never had the feeling speaking in Bisayan was done intentionally so I wouldn't know all that is going on. don't you think , maybe it's because it's their native language...	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-27 14:09:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	and "return to serving the Lord"... um. I thought I was, being involved in church, and helping people out in her village, as well as helping out the church over there. Is there a difference? is it because I am not serving according to YOur standards??? there's more to it than just doing good deeds. Darren I really don't understand why you are getting all worked up over people you have been on the outs with for years and have not spoken to in just as long. Seriously, are you just some sort of DQ? If you are a church going person, take this yarn to your pastor, bring a framing hammer along and hand it to him that way he has something to wack you with when he hears this bull do-do! he won't talk to his pastor about this. he knows he won't get answers he wants to hear...	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-23 18:35:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	Dareen, as you've described it your sisiter is going to be a hard nut to crack. you've decided to respond to your sister. be careful that it doesn't alienate other members of your family, since you've indicated they might come around. is the response just to say your peace and let it go? I have a feeling you might let this consume you and your heading down a road you don't want to go...	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-23 16:16:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	how do you respond to this: I have known since last year that you were trying to import a mail order bride. I assume that you have accomplished it since you are now married. I wish that I could congratulate you but since this is a purely business transaction, I cannot. you don't respond to that. you respond with your heart of your feelings for Gretchen. if she doesn't accept it, there's nothing you can do.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-23 01:06:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	It’s not real. I would be truly happy to see you be the honorable man I know you can be and find true happiness with an equal partner and soulmate. ..... It appears that you will live your life without any connection to your family. I choose not to pretend anymore that we are family. Well, not sure if this translates to others in the family, but really, since the divorce I expected a disassociation from most of the fmaily anyway. got to think on a response to my sister.... How to open a mind without closing the communication. that should be an esay one to give a reponse. as far as part of the family, I'd just let her know you'll always be there as her brother and she's welcome into your family when she's ready to accept Gretchen as your wife.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-23 00:39:00

Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	Dareen, are planning on going to the Christmas dinner and still only refer to Gretchen as your girlfriend?	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-21 14:19:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	Darren, this will be Gretchen's first Christmas in the USA, your first together as a family. make it a memorable one, not one she wish she could forget.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-21 12:55:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	So why are you taking your wife into the wolves den on a important date as Christmas, when the masses there will be against her. This is evil. Excellent question! Darren - "Why subject your new bride to this on Christmas ~" Stay home and have your first Christmas together in a happy home. Send them a Christmas card with a picture of you both if you need to validate with them. As my brother-in-law sez! You can pick your nose You can pick your butt But you can not pick your family! apparently, that is not the situation. he is going to a cousin's house with whom he is on better terms than his immediate family. i guess he feels he is in an akward situation, if he tells cousin he's married before telling his parents and immediate family.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-21 11:29:00
Philippines	Waiting..... Waiting	Does your cousin know that you're married?	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-20 18:59:00
Philippines	Getting my kids in the Philippines	Thank you guys =) I am just worried because on the DS-156 that I submitted during my interview I confusingly marked NO on the question if my kids will follow me here in the United States. I know that was a very stupid mistake. I hope it will not matter. Thanks again. I don't think it should be a problem. If you are planning for the children to apply for K-2's, much sure to allow enough time before the one year eligibity has expired.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2011-12-30 01:36:00
Philippines	immunizations	Why did Gretchen choose NOT to handle this at St. Lukes? If I recall correctly, Darren was having her recieve immunizations before St Lukes. perhaps she was confused, thinking she didn't need any more immunizations.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2012-01-03 14:45:00
Philippines	immunizations	another interesting read... http://www.visajourn...010-aos-packet/	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2012-01-03 14:34:00
Philippines	immunizations	on the DS-3025, given to the applicant at St Lukes, if all the required vaccinations are marked as completed, you can submit a copy of the DS-3025 with your AOS. if some vaccinations are still required, you can receive them where you choose, then take the DS-3025 and vaccination records to a Civil Surgeon, to have them transcibed to a I-693. http://www.cdc.gov/i...vaccination.pdf	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2012-01-02 20:12:00
Philippines	immunizations	But...where's the drama in that ?!? he does seem to have a knack for it... Darren, read page four, section 111 http://www.uscis.gov.../i-693instr.pdf	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2012-01-02 18:01:00
Philippines	immunizations	during the time I've been on VJ, I'd say the word has been out. I've seen it recommended many times why pay for vaccinations when they are included in the cost of St. Lukes medical. If you have received vaccinations before St. Lukes, bring the records and the doctor will decide which vaccinations you need to be given and which ones can be transcibed to the DS-3025. as far as whether a female or male Civil Surgeon, for most that will not be an issue for only vaccinations. if the doctor pushes for a full medical, find another doctor.	sunandmoon	Male	Philippines	2012-01-02 15:00:00
