Philippinesplane ticket from CEB to LAS
whoah whoah whoah! MJ3lasvegas: please tell your fiance to hold off on that purchase. I am a travel agent. Now your fiance would end up paying more if he purchased the ticket from his end. At the back of my mind, I was wondering why he is adamant about buying the ticket himself - in cash... hmmm. I smell apprehension over money here. But anyway that is beside the point.

Here are what I would do:

1. Check out round trip tickets (you will save A LOT on this deal - one way would cost at least USD2800 and RT promos would be about USD1500). You may opt to reschedule the return flight or just cancel it and get a refund.

2. Buy your ticket here because it is half less than what he would get! This means your fiance will have to wire the money to you. Use Moneygram or Western Union or Xoom, I don't care. Just buy it here. Reason - again is saving hundreds of $.

3. If you need help getting the lowest deal, get in touch with me. I can get you the lowest in the market.

Take care and I am so happy for your K1 process. God bless!

PhilippinesBirth certificate(no record in NSO)
Do the passporting first. Normally it takes at leats 6 months to a year to get an NSO for a late-reg person. My mom went through the same thing.

Go to www.dfa.gov.ph They have the details of what other domuments you can bring for the passport. Usually when the mother has the passport, they won't give you grief. Do it the soonest possible time and just get an NSO certified BC when it's your son's turn for the visa.

PhilippinesDRY SKIN SOLUTION....
Dandruff is caused by many things: stress, dry skin, weather.

When I showe, use lukewarn water - try not to shower with a little more than warm, it will dry your sklin up and cause hair loss too.

Whenever I go to the US, I always bring with me Body Shop Olive Oil. I apply it while my hair is still wet (fresh from the shower). Do not put so much as the scalp may get too oily, your hair won't look good.

Throughout the day my hair actually smells fresh and itch free. Therefore, no dandruff.

This always workls for me. It's worth a try.

QUOTE (jom @ Nov 11 2008, 07:19 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I use Aveeno too and it really works. However, I still have to find a product that stops my dandruff. I have them everytime the weather gets colder. I am starting to have them now since it is also getting colder even in Florida. Never had dandruff in the Philippines and this is my biggest head problem .

Any suggestions??

PhilippinesDRY SKIN SOLUTION....
Uhoh.. You are in big trouble man. smile.gif

I use Ponds moisturizer for my face and Aveeno on my body... Same routine at night. You may have Claudeth use the Moisturizer at Clinique. It's just a little pricey but may be worth it. biggrin.gif

PhilippinesEmployment Certificate and Pay Stubs
Check out the guidelines for the I-134 form.

http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD

The thing is - more often than not, the USEM would ask for these pay stubs and employment certificate. Better overdeliver than lack these things on the day of the interview itself.

Good luck!

PhilippinesFeedback from USEM...as of this week..
This is absolutely a possibility. Currently the USEM in Manila are handling loads of visa applications. In fact even business and tourist visa apps will have to wait for several weeks before an appointment gets set due to the sudden influx. It is crazy but it's the truth. So looks like for your friend Gema, she'll have to wait til '09. HAve her go ahead and and set the appointment in January - that shouldn't be too bad. In fact, the holidays is fast approaching and I wouldn't advise anyone to be lurkling the streets of Manila during this season. It isn't just the safest of times. But anyway, that is beside the point. Don't force it. Rather have her do the medical and CFO and the USEM interview after that. Time flies... Relax! Good luck

There is no more DV for the K1 visa interview. This had been discontinued since October of 2008 due to so much backlog on the side of NSO. Please secure a copy of your CENOMAR and bring it on the interview. Good luck!

PhilippinesPhilippine Passport Requirement
Voter's ID or voter's registration.

NBI Clearance would be one good route. Hve her bring her postal ID to the NBI office when she secures one. Keep us in the loop. Sorry she has to go through so much trouble.


QUOTE (jamesNrei @ Nov 17 2008, 05:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
she needs to secure 2 valid id's such as driver's license, SSS id, PRC license id, NBI clearance, or any government ID that will show her complete name, address and picture. Probably the student id she showed is no longer valid since as you said she is out of school already, hence they asked for more id's from her. SSS id took a month before I received it.

Hello, VJ Friends! It was 9:30PM U.S.Time (Nov.24) and 10:30AM Phil. Time Today ( Nov.25) ; my fiance and I were chatting when my fiance received email notification saying " On November 24, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)". My internet connection was on and off and we can`t chat properly so I was kinda mad but it was all gone when he shared this news. We were all smiling and happy when we received this email .We have received just one touched/ update after our NOA1 and next update was just a noticed of approval. At first I can`t believed this, but it is all true . We hope to asks again your helping hand what would be our next step. For those who are still waiting for their NOA2, don`t lose hope it will come in God`s appointed time. It was my fiance`s birthday present few days ago and our Thanksgiving too. God bless us all in this Visa Journey.

PhilippinesChildren of future wife
I think the OP is looking at the Fiance/e Visa (K1/K2).

gearman - if you are filing for petition for an alien fiancee you may go the K1 route,while your fiancee's kids will have a derivative visa K2. Once it gets approved, they may go together. Read the guidelines on K1 for more info here in VJ and you may go to www.uscis.gov

Christmas is a festival of joy and happiness. People are busy in decorating their houses and Christmas trees with fascinating lights and presents in this festive season. And i am inquisitively trying to find some exquisite and unique gifts for my dear ones in this Christmas then consider the Christmas gifts.
In this festive season the market is inundated with imaginative and fabulous Christmas gifts. (Gifts for all ages ).And finding a distinguished and unique Christmas gifts at least to me is a Tough task. The right and effective manner to search one is by considering the interest of the recipient. A Christmas gift might mean more than its physical appearance so i must be little careful...(which place is best to buy gifts,the Malls or Divisoria?)Any suggestions from my kababayans would be much appreciated...Merry Christmas to each and every one...

You can check the native products under the Quiapo Bridge..168 Mall in Divi is okey but its crowded now esp this season. you can try the Phil Trade center in Roxas Blvd.

Merry Christmas and enjoy your shopping..be careful and watch your bag and money while shopping!!!
