Philippines	suggestion to ladies flying to US soon...	THNXXXXXXXX TO all sheriff Uling............... good advise ahahah Oi sherl... no babies muna Julie... ipm q sau .. eheh Im Mrs na nga.. I can't believe .. time is so fast yah next time.. I will find really cheap store.. I just ended in that store bec I dont know the place yet,... and when my mother in law and Ryan accompanied me to find stores that has small sizes. I cant find my style.. they also have petite sizes but still a lil bit bigger to me coz I wear Small in Phil, small here are still big for me, and I wear 25 waistline for pants and jeans... Im tired of looking but I saw online the old navy... yah it's cheaper... thnxxxxxx for the suggestion.. The prices of clothes in Phil is really so much cheaper .. for $100-200 you will have plenty pairs with style and nice clothes.. Like crissa, preppy, redgirl, etc so that's why you girls should bring plenty for sure excess baggage of clothes will not cost $200 Edited by I luv my chappara, 13 May 2008 - 05:28 PM.

Congrats on your wedding! With regards to your SSN, remember most people here adviced those who plan to get their SSN to wait at least 2 weeks after arrival just to make sure that your name is in the system already! It saves you time going to the SSN office! (No harm in trying!) Anyway, you can try it again! I'm happy for the two of you! Mayeth Thankssssss ... yah we just tried yesterday,, the ssn officer was just so nice... she already encoded my application, and then they will process it once my name is in the system, so i dont need to come back again in the office, they will just mail my card.. they are so nice... it seems evrything is easy here in states.

Philippines	suggestion to ladies flying to US soon...	one thing I would suggest... bring plenty clothes as you can ... I have regrets now why I did not just pay for excess baggage.... We went to mall yesterday to buy some interview clothes for me.. it's really hard to find sizes that will really fits me, coz I'm skinny.. So we ended at LOFT... and it was made in PHilippines.. ahah im proud though coz it's famous here... it's really nice clothes... BUT OMG.. it's so expensive here... the slacks is $129 then the coats majority $79 and the inside blouse $36.. In PI, I'm fan of branded clothes too but not as expensive like this,,, hayz if I only buy formal clothes in MAnila it will not cost me $200 for 1 pair.. I arrived here May 9, we applied for SSN yesterday.. but my name was not in the system yet, but they encoded my docs already, and they will just mail my ssn card when they will see my name in the system.. everything is so easy here in states.. P.S we're married already in the courthouse... but this is for legal only, so that I can adjust my status right away, get ssn with my married name, cellphone and other bills in my married name, .. BUT our wedding ceremony, reception etc will be on july 12 pa...	I luv my chappara	Female	Philippines	2008-05-13 08:31:00

I had my biometrics last June 19( Kansas City, Missouri). Are you referring at the same USCIS office?. I had an easy biometrics there that took less than 30 mins. However, I haven't heard of anyone here going to a different USCIS office for their biometrics other than what is stated in their appointment letter. I'm sure anyone who has done this will be able to share their experience to you. Good luck in your AOS process Thank you so much for your replies. I'll wait for your next update on your appointment. Good luck and hope everything turn out well for all of us. hey im done with my biometrics this afternoon,,, it was fine no problem with the uscis people here in NC... so u'r fine too.. just bring the notice and id,, dont bring cellphone inside, just leave it in the car.. it's quick like 10 minutes or less i saw also my case was touched right away today,,, good luck	I luv my chappara	Female	Philippines	2008-07-11 18:55:00
Philippines	AOS Biometrics	hi,, i am scheduled for my bi0metrics tomorrow and I have the same situation as yours . The ACS appointment that I got is for Charlotte, NC , which is 3 and half hours drive from our city. We called USCIS a week ago and asked them if I can have my biometrics in Raleigh office (which is 20 minutes away from where I lived) they said, I can just go in Raleigh instead of Charlotte and just bring my appointment.. I supposed to call raleigh office to confirm but i can't find any #., so goodluck to me tomorrow... hope it will turn out fine.. I will tell you tomorrow if it's a problem or not. goodluck	I luv my chappara	Female	Philippines	2008-07-10 20:54:00

Philippines	MY POE exp MAY 9.. ST PAUL MINNEAPOLIS	To joyce... here's ur request... don't worry toO much ... Take care To others; hope this will ease ur worries, nervous, fears etc Friday, May 9 - NAIA NWA Manila----Tokyo----St.Paul/Minneapolis-----Raleigh/Durham 1. Ryan and I arrived at 4:30am for our 8am flight.. opps too early ha , coz we have tons of baggage.. so we want to be early than catching up the time (Ready ur itinerary/ticket & passport, the guard at the departure gate will check it) Passed through x-ray check... 2. Fall in a long line at NWA flight #020.. security of NWA gave us departure embarkation and stickers for our luggage. She checked for our passport & my visa. We finished almost 5:40 3. We checked in 3 huge bags wahh just about the limit weight of baggage...and 2 carry on.. 1 for me & 1 for Ryan... (Liquids are allowed, just put in a zip bag.. I brought face creams, gels, toner, lotion, etc ... but don't put this stuff in carry on,, I did put mine in checked in bag, so it was not a hassle in the connecting flight check counters. 4. Wahhh the lady at check in counter in NWA told me to pay travel tax (P1,620 for economy, 2000 something I can't remember for first/business class) in Travel tax counter, it's near in the gate when u enter, it is easy to find though... and return after to get our boarding pass.. (I'm kinda shocked of this coz we thought it is paid of when we bought our ticket in NWA. Ryan was not ask to pay though, only me.. OH well, i will not return for long, so it's fine.. (just bring extra money just in case, u can change it to $ later inside the departure area) 5. Back to the counter and got our boarding pass 6. We proceed to Departure tax counter... (P750) she stamped our boarding pass 7. Immigration Line, (wahhh I'm glad it's not crazy long like arrival (The officer asked me who is my petitioner.. hmmm i just point Ryan who was infront of me, he just finished--She smiled and said... mgksama kau? 8. Passed the Xray counter, separate for girls & guys (removed shoes, metal belt, removed ur laptop from the bag, liquid stuff) 9. We proceed to the assigned gate... (it's already 6:15am) 10. Boarded the plane at 7:05 ( wahhh the plane did not leave until 9:00.. instead of our 8am flight.. delayed for some electrical problem.. (we are sweating, it's hot inside the plane ... 11. FINally left to Toyko ... at arrival pass to check in again... (removed shoes, laptop again) 12. Went to assigned gate, it is easy to find the connecting flight, just follow the signs,, it's in English, so don't worry 13. Our gate was open already coz we are delayed, so we boarded right away.. (TO MINNEAPOLIS) 14. Arrived in St. Paul Minneapolis 1 hour early:) thnxxxxx GOD coz we have only 1 hour and 30 mins layover, so it's 2 hours and 30 mins now 15. I fall in line in new immigrant counter...and RYan in US residents line.. (dont fall in line in visitors, it's long) 16. Ryan finished already while i'm still waiting coz the guy fr P.I too ahead of me was interviewed long.. 17. MY turn.. gave my passport, Form 1-94 given by the crew in NWA before landing in MInneapolis. (Fill it out in all capital letters) I gave my yellow orange envelope. While checking it, He asked me this questions: -- Where are you going? -- When did you first met? -- What is his job? -- What do you want to work? -- Do you have food in your luggage? I answered no.. He said, ARE u sure? (i have only 2 pack of lucky me pancit canton) I forgot about it -- How old are you? -- When do u plan to get married? -- How old are you? and look at me.. (wahh again?... oh well maybe he think that I gave him wrong age ... -- When is ur birthday? -- How far are u in Charlotte, NC? You can file ur AOS, EAD etc He asked me to put my left index finger in the finger scanning, the the right... and posed for the camera. they have webcam in the window -- He then said, get married in 90 days... Welcome to USA.. That's it.. it's easy.. so don't worry .. just relax 18. Ryan collected our luggage already.. (Don't forget ur luggage in Point of Entry) Passed though custom and give our custom form, since we don't have something to declare,it's easy. Proceed to check in counter ..NWA staff put our bags in there...running floor ahahah i dont know what's the name of it.. 20. Passed trough xray counter againnnnnnnnn... (removed laptop, shoes) 21. PRoceed to our boarding gate.. since our plane arrived 1 hour early. We had enough time.. 22. ARRived at Raleigh on time no more immigration stuff 23. Collected our bag, Ryan's parents picked us.. 24. THEy hug me and said.. Welcome to USA 25.. DRive to CAry... just near ... maybe 10 minutes fr the airport Going Cary is very pretty place,, it has lots of trees in both sides of the highway..
