My takle on the EAC numbers - EAC- East Coast ; 08 - month; 232 or whatever - is the day on the Julian Calendar... It makes sense to me that way. What do you guys think?

Hey Gemmie. I am very much to the point of screaming. My fiance said it must have just been a clerical ommission. I have two given names, you see. There is a Filipino forum that I am a member of and someone advised that it should be corrected at the USEM here in the Philippines as the details on my K1 visa interview will be based on the petition details that they have on the database at the USCIS. I have a feeling unless it has something to do with an incorrectly spelled name, then it shouldn't be that serious. I hate those dumbos! My fiance repeated it several times to that customer service lady and even had her spell it back to him and it should have been corrected. This is a legal document for goodness' sake!

This is going to bring me back to the ER. grrrrrrr

Mine is EAC-08-23**** --- hmmmm.... now I am curious.

Guys, I have a problem. When my fiance got the NOA1, they reflected my name incorrectly. So, he went ahead and called USCIS the next day and told them to get it corrected. NOw, after a month, I saw two touches in two consecutive days. My fiance got a letter in the mail stating the USCIS has corrected the typo in the database and reflecting my correct first name --- thing is, THEY OMMITTED MY MIDDLE INITIAL!!! It is so frustrating. Can't they ever get anything right? It insults me. i have a feeling that we might have morons workling on the petitions.

What are your advise?

Hello hello hello!!! Me is back from my shopping. LOL It's funny because it's not for me now. Mom needs some stuff at home from the grocery and she was giving me a hard time about it. I love it when she does that. It's cute that she asks for things from me now. My mom is a very proud woman. It's great to actually see her put her guards down with her "kids" now. smile.gif

How's everybody?

Wahahahahah!!! Dani, I love that last line... "sorry Maliciant..."

Yes, I am hyper. Don't know how my fiance is going to take that when we eventually live in the same house. I am always up for travelling and backpacking for the most part and I enjoy the outdoors and the beach... I love most especially the beach here in my country. That's a route me and my honey are definitely going to take. heheheh.

I take 2 cups when I get up in the morning, two cups after lunch and I am good. biggrin.gif

I will show you my wedding gown design once I get my scanner working. Mine is not in the works yet. Kinda enjoying the time when the designers here are showing their best in the craft and price and I wwill get to choose. It is so cool. And guess what? The highest price so far is at 600USD. I know I know, you're going to hate me for this but truth to tell most of the raw materials if not all come from Asia - so I get to reap the benefits of proximity. LOL

I love David's. But if it's the design you guys are after, check out www.projectwedding.com Your mouths will water on the wedding gown designs there and even the wedding cakes and giveaways.

Enjoy guys!

Dani, Mara's right. Been travelling with a laptop for a while now in and out of the US and I never had problems. It's just a bit of a hassle though coz you have to take it out of the bag for the scanner. But overall you should be fine dear. Or if not, you can leave it and buy one in the states for the most recent upgrade. biggrin.gif

My dress is huge with the ruffles and the peticoat - may have to send it in a package along with the wedding giveaways... or maybe I coould just handcarry it with me and be at peace that I am sure my gown will arrive safely with me. I will be travelling with my daughter too so I guess we shall see. I am definitely more excited with the honeymoon. hehehe. We'd be headed to Gatlinburg, TN and maybe the coasts of NH for a good pre-summer dip. biggrin.gif

How's everybody?

Ok ok... Back to our wedding related theme. LOL

Our plan is to have a simple church "I do" with his relatives and mine in the US and some close friends then be off to our one week honeymoon (2009)! Where? I have no idea yet. And since we are looking at a wedding in church, I am now off to getting myself a wedding gown and our wedding bands. All should be ready when he gets here in the Philippines so have his say on things before we finalize it and get the work started after the holidays and have it ready by February-March timeframe. I am also going to take care of the invitations and giveaways as he is already taking care of the wedding preparation in the US. He will be the one playing thye bridezilla role. Hehehehe...

And come 2010 when we have at least gained some financial leverage, we will have a renewal of vows with my side of the family here in the Philippines. Honeymoon part 2 will be island hopping for at least two weeks enjoying the tropical breeze and and the sun and hopefully a baby when we go back to KY.

Ooohhhh, I can't wait!!!

Hey Mark I know what you mean. Talking about stress, I have just gotten out of the hospital two weeks ago and yes it ain't pretty. It is stupid - do it the right way and you're bound for doom. I don't understand why we all have to go through so much red tape while we are doing it the legal way. I should have known better.

It is indeed very frustrating and mind you it gets the better of me sometimes.

Hang in there. You tell your fiance that too. I am not feeling very good being away from my man. Damn these miles and damn all the legal ####### we all have to go through.

That's my rant. biggrin.gif

I am done for today guys. Gotta get some sleep now. smile.gif

Explaining it would be two phases for me. First is the petition approval, and the next would be the K1 visa. Helps my friends in the confusion.

We will go island hopping with my family!!! And we will also have an engagement party - taking advantage of the fact that everyone is coming home for the holidays. Hehehehe... Yes, I feel sorry for him too. But, I know my family will adore him before too long. biggrin.gif

Will post the pictures. Add a petition approval to that mix and our holidays will be the most amazing so far!

Mara, girl you both look terrific. Awww, people in love are just a sight to behold.

Dani, I have missed you yesterday.

Harsh, we all have our venting moments. Feel free to b*tch about the process. We can all relate.

Dani,

Thanks for the compliments. Don't worry about the ex now, you didn't know and it's not our problem if she can't move on. *evil laugh* I haven't been to Illinois, we should meet sometime when we get to the US and share secrets about how we make our men happy! LOL

Gemmie,

I have relatives in the New England area: Manchester NH, Cherry Hill NJ, Delaware, and New York. I want to go back there sometime. Keep in touch will see you then!

Fred oh Fred! I have relatives in SFO and LA too... hmmm... But you're like 6 hours away and three timezones away. Maybe you ought to come over to the east coast and flatter the ladies with your presence?

Ok people, I need to go to bed now. Need to get up in 4 hours for my daughter's passport processing. Whew!

Goodnight/good day everyone!

Awww, thank you Gemmie. That pic was taken during our trip to Gatlinburg, TN for a weekend getaway. :">

This is really helping. We should do this as often as possible.

I will be out tomorrow to take care of my daughter's passport. I hope everything is going to be really easy for my little one. I don't know how you guys might want to handle my situation but, my parents are getting worried about my daughter's adjustment when we move to the states when the visa is approved. I won't have work, she needs to go to school (totally alien environment to her and she's really picky with people), I need to adjust to the situation as well. Oh well...

By the way, I bought a wall block that's made of plaster of paris that has a carved design that says: "HAPPINESS is being married to your best friend." Isn't that sweet? I couldn't resist the urge so I got one and am planning to bring it with me when I leave for the states. smile.gif

Gemmie is right Harsh. A touch could mean two things: they have looked at your case for completeness and could be that they decided it's okay or you deserve and RFE. I would rather get no touches than an RFE. smile.gif

Dani,

You and your honey look really cute together. You guys look so happy!

Gemmie,

Can you say HOT??? Trophy couple I would say. You got a keen eye for detail girl. LOL

Fred,

This is what we call therapy session for the depressed and lonely! VSC, I truly understand the process, but why does it have to be BLOODY SLOW??? tongue.gif


Here's mine. This was taken during my last trip to KY last May/June. This is a risk for me. My fiance's ex-wife is stalking me on every online community available on Earth! One of the reasons why I created this new account in VJ. I guess you guys might have an idea who I am. hehehehe

Oh my, I don't know, maybe I am just a little abnormal- or is it a signs of stress and depression. A few days ago, I was very happy and excited and now, it's silly that I feel so highstrung and sad too. Maybe it really is one of those days.

But, I still thank God we all have VJ and each other to hold on to and it's a wonderful thing to have people who knows exactly what and how I feel.

Enjoy your week guys!

I wish I had psychic powers. I would scare the hell out of the adjudicator so he/she would approve our petitions in no time! *evil laugh*

Gemmie, I have to tell you I think it's way better than the Vonage thing. Go have your fiance check this website: www.magicjack.com

And guys, an August filer just got their 129F Petition approved the other day at the VSC... 50 days approval from date of filing... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! August filers getting approved... OOOOHHHH, we are next!!!

God bless us all! Hang in there!

QUOTE (Gemmie @ Oct 4 2008, 04:36 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Oh wow, do you have a website for it or something? Sounds like something to look into..

I'm very lucky that I have a landline in my room that my fiance can call unlimited for $40 per month. We're definetely going to get Vonage when I move though to talk to family and friends!

Gemmie, I am glad that you're here safe and sound. Well, come to think of it, my fiance will come visit me here in December and probably, I should have the NOA2 by then *hopeful*. And there wouldn't be a need for me to have to go there and risk not being able to get through immigration. Oh well. I really miss him though.

I am happy too. I got a new "toy" guys. Hehehehe. My fiance sent me a magicjack! It is amazing. I can call him anytime and he can call me too without any problems! I got a US phone number now. It's really cool. The reception is very clear, even better than the Vonage VoIP And it's only for $19.99/year. It's absolutely amazing and I love every bit of it.
