Philippines	My baby will be born soon! His father is a US citizen.	I'll be doing the same this june after I give birth to baby Rohan, the only difference is that i already have my k1 visa and it's only valid till oct 23. First thing i'll have to do is to get baby his NSO BC, then after that order forms from Fedex and have them pick it up and wait for the interview appointment..i'm just hoping it won't take that long..	clarabel	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-05-20 19:10:00

Philippines	Visa Fee - How much to pay for K1 Visa	QUOTE (tallcoolone @ May 23 2008, 09:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From USEM Website: "Increase in Visa Fees Effective January 1, 2008, the immigrant visa application fee will increase from U.S. $335 to U.S. $355 plus a U.S. $45 visa security enhancement surcharge. Therefore the total immigrant visa application fee is U.S. $400. For "K" and "V" non-immigrant visas, the application fee will increase from U.S. $100 to U.S. $131. " My question is do we pay $400 or $131. Hi tallcoolone, If you're on k1 you just have to pay $131, BPI only accepts Peso payment which is depending on the current exchange rate. I paid last May 5 it's P 5633.00 (43/1 usd). Oh, i forgot..go straight to the Customer Service and they will ask you for a valid ID, give you the DS-157 form and deposit slip with us embassy's account number, then you have to fall in line to pay at the counter, after that you have to go back to the customer service so she will have to stamp something on the ds form..and you're ready to go! Goodluck to you interview! Edited by Francis Rohan, 22 May 2008 - 08:24 PM.	clarabel	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-05-22 20:21:00

Philippines	MEDICAL EXPERIENCE AT ST. LUKES month of May	QUOTE (dbears @ May 7 2008, 07:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (SHAPE OF MY HEART @ May 6 2008, 08:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4. Medical Fee (as of May 1, 2008 new fee is P9,704.05) I just realized this.. PHP 9,704.05 / $213.35 = PHP 45.48 If you would exchange $213.35 with prevaling rate it should have been PHP 8,992.70 lang dapat and if you would convert PHP 9,704.05 with the prevailing rate of PHP42.15 it seems you paid $230.23 instead of $213.35 GOSH, this is daylight hold up... so I would expect they'd be using 45.5-46 to a dollar exchange rate when we pay while the bank will only give us 42-42.5 to a dollar would it be the same with visa fee? 45-46 din ba exchange rate gamit nila?

Philippines	SunCellular	yes its true! i've been using it for almost a year now.. before they have this IDD card for 100 pesos only they charged 10cents per minute..but they changed it to 5 pesos per minute using their regular call card not the unlimited call and text card. Unlimited call card, 24/7 are only for local calls.	clarabel	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-06-04 08:46:00
Philippines	Tampo	Offering a fiance perspective, if my fiancee gets tampo it might last a little while but generally I seek to resolve any conflicts, quarelling, tampo quicky kasi both of us don't like it. We've come up with different strageties like communicating potential differences before they reach a blow-out point. Basicall our perspective is if something is bothering either of us, we'll talk about it. Obviously there are situations and scenarios that are random but we try to be conscious of each other always. My advice Michael, let this serve as a learning example and suggest to your s.o. to be more open communicatively. 2 sense:)	clarabel	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-05-10 19:34:00
Philippines	my interview	QUOTE (belay @ May 14 2008, 11:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> pagpasok ko is same with others experience... wait in line, xray, finger scanning... first interview was good... my number was shown window 19... he ask me my name... told me to sign DS-230... ask for my proof of relationship... submitted pictures, money transfer, phone calls, email, chatlog, and said its enough cause the file was already thick... its about 6 kilos of papers questions asked your name date of birth whos your petitioner how long were you married how many times did he visit may ex pala sya ano pero it was divorced na naman so ok ilan anak nya from ex so ok naman pala ang financial requirement... ok wait for the final interview... number was called for final interview... mabait yun consul na babae... she got my left index finger scan, Whats your name? who is your petitioner? tell me about your husbands work? how long were you married? tell me how your relationship survive with him living there and you living here? told hem i call him to call me and we chat everyday so follow up question is What makes you call him up? how does you stepdaughters feels about you? She said everything looks alright but we have to do a document verification... i said i paid it already last april 22, she said then thats good...I know the waiting is hard but its a requirement... I ask if my visa is approved... she said well we cant really say untill we get the document verification... then everything is clouded in my memory after that... not even sure if i said thank you to the consul or if i were polite when i exit... i just know that i will get a white slip... so i waited for the releasing in window 37... they gave back all the proof of relationship i submitted... gave me the appointment letter with pink slip... together with the white slip indicating document verification... gave to them my receipt for document verification.... went to pay for the delivery... paid P310 for the delivery to laguna... got confused where i put the reciept of delbross... after 15 minute remember i submitted it to window 37... heehhehehe.... went home after that... Like everyone who had an AR due to document verification i am sad yesterday... di kasi ako makapagrejoice kasi di pa sure yun visa ko... pero now na nakatulog na ako... naisip ko na "all things happen for a reason" and "everything happens in Gods time"... so i am ok now... will just enjoy my stay with my family and my favorite pinoy foods hehehehe... have to make the most of summer vacation...

Hope this helps.. Ah yes, thank you, but I am wondering now....Will she then have to fill up that stamped DS form, or can she use a different one? She could fill it up or just have another form. What i did with mine is that i still filled out the stamped form from the bank (black pen) and have another copy filled out online. They will just have to staple it to the other form if its not needed.	clarabel	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-06-14 05:54:00
