PhilippinesHow long does it take for wife to adjust to US Time
If you force it, and stay awake for twenty four straight, then go to bed at the normal time it will be sooner.

If you nap during the day, two weeks or more!!!

Philippinesgoing to the philippines.a few questions
they are not very good at accepting cosponsors. also, are famous for denying people who do not follow cultural beliefs. you need to take many pictures, and have many proofs. would also plan a second trip!!

I am not saying it can't be done, I am saying, when you get to the consulate stage, you will encounter problems.

PhilippinesVisa application

Hello,

I'm going to be visiting the Philippines in December and will be applying for the 59-day visa prior to departing, and I will be applying for it by mail. I was just wondering if I needed to put a special ATTN: on the packet for the Embassy in Washington DC. Their website didn't list anything, but I just want to be sure.

Thanks.

not sure but, you may have to get that in country...
I did.

The focus for solutions should not be on her behavior or choices, as she is just like an indulged child who is allowed to do what she likes.

Rather the focus is best placed on the attitudes and expectations of the OP who has given away all his personal power and now wishes he hadn't.

My suggestion to the OP is that you consider that the behaviors you don't like are symptoms of conflicts around power in the relationship. Perhaps her wasting of resources is an expression of personal power and you have gladly given yours away in exchange for 'fun to be with"

My sense is that you would do best to find ways to assert your needs and boundries and values around thrift, resources, and wastefulness. It is then her choice to either respect them or not.
Should you choose to continue to stay in your current role despite evidence that she will not respect you, then you, my friend, have far greater concerns than the water bill and the number of bars of soap being used.

As a person, woman and wife, I don't think I will ever forgive my husband if I knew he posted something like this in a public forum. All I know about Claudeth was she is the OP's wife until this thread. This issue is something between the couple or can only be shared with close friends/family who can give her advise and make her realize about her behaviour and not for public to talk about..just a thought.

I've seen enough on these boards to know as well as experiencing it personally. I see this process alot like war. My petition is like a battleplan and USCIS is the enemy. We all know the battle plan never survives contact with the enemy. Anything that can go wrong will.

The problem with analogies like this is that they break down in so many different areas that any superficial resemblance is just that. It's really best to think of it as it is. It's not you versus them.

What we do know (and what USCIS has acknowledged) is that it's a broken system. We've also seen that there is a management problem from the top down. You only need to be in on the Ombudsman calls to see that. As for the guy/lady in the trenches? There's zero evidence one way or the other. We hear stories of unhelpful phone operators, but also stories of very helpful operators. Hell, the operator that told me I was approved *cried.* Sounds to me like they're just normal people doing a job.

UMMM maybe the "Bots" need to be recharged !!! devil.gif

I sincerely don't get this. Some people think they should be able to call USCIS at their whim to make themselves feel better. Others disagree with the tactic.

To turn that into some sort of Constitutional debate is, frankly, silly.

If the waiting period is 3 months & you file at the end of 4 months, I wouldn't think you'd have a problem.
