It's sad stories like this that makes me glad that I buy my airline tix online directly from the airline. Cathay Pacific has never let me down. If I pay a little more, then so be it. They have been very good to me when I have to cancel and refund my ticket at the last minute. There is no free lunch! Pay up or get ripped off.


Same here, I fly Cathay Pacific, never had a complaint.....

Not wanting to give up takes two. Without cooperation from the S.O., the end result will be the same. Home sickness and culture shock are understandable. Have you considered marriage classes??

If she has made her decision to call it quits, there is not much that can be done. Eleven months is a long time to become adjusted....

BEST WISHES TO BOTH!!!!

NO , NOT WHINING TO MUCH. LIKE THE REST OF US READY TO BE WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE. I STAYED ON THE PHONE FOR A HALF HOUR LAST NIGHT, TRYING TO REACH THE EMBASSY. I WILL TRY AGAIN TONIGHT. LORRAINE TOLD ME LAST WEEK THAT SHE WOULD SUBMIT A REQUEST TO HER SUPERVISOR, TO GET THE STATUS OF OUR VISA..JEAN IS GOING TO SEE THE MAYOR OF HER CITY, TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. I HAVE BEEN TO HIS HOME AND OFFICE, ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS. THE CONGRESSMANS OFFICE REQUESTED INFO AGAIN TODAY, HOWEVER, I EXPECT NO NEWS. JUST LIKE BEFORE!!! crying.gif

THE WAY TO GET ANYTHING DONE IS WHEN A GROUP GET TOGETHER AND PRESENT THE FACTS TO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS WILL HAVE A GREATER AFFECT THAN INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINTS. SO, IF YOU ARE IN P.M. ME THE DATES AND FACTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT TO THE O.I.G.
ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF OCTOBER I WILL BEGIN...

John,
I think we should organize a petition and I would be glad to be a part of this. I have actaully wrote a letter to the Chief embassy officer in Manila and plan on sending a copy to the NVC and USCIS. Just havent sent it yet. It would be better if everyone as a group that is going through this delay
joined together to show how wasteful our taxpayer's dollars are with the inefficency of this embassy.
