Middle East and North Africathe wait is hell
Shaun & I talk everyday...as in EVERYDAY. Sometimes we talk for only 10 minutes before I go to work or before he goes to work.Sometimes we talk for hours and hours (starting a sedentary lifestyle?) We were able to find ways to bridge the 13 hour gap between our countries. Fortunately I have an internet connection at home. If internet wont work...we send each other sms (i bought him an international roaming sim). Sometimes we ran out of topic because we talk to each other daily for the past nine (9) months. Funny when we met that we (computer talked). I was mad at him about something and i said..i will send u an email...i'll tell u why i was mad..hehehe. We did not talk online for 2 weeks - that was when he came to visit me and now that he is back in his country we continue our daily talks - online. Yes..waiting is terrible but we can make a lot of things while waiting. Besides the adventure does not only happen when u reach the destination...It happens in the Journey! Good luck to all of us!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresceremonial wedding
One good option is to have the ceremony/celebration after the visa is in hand. Then it's a nice farewell party too.

yes..that is a good suggestion..we are considering that one :) we only thought it will be a celebration but that would do as a farewell party too :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresceremonial wedding
We just want to have the ceremony before going to the US because it might take a long time for us to be able to travel back to RP to have the ceremony for my family...this needs thorough discussion between me and my fiance....thank you everyone for the insights...we will be inviting only a few friends and family in case we opt to hav the ceremony (crabs not allowed :) ), and there wil be no paper signing etc. Good luck everyone and thank u again. We'l post updates about our decision..:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresceremonial wedding
i will ask my friend how did they do it..she was on a K1 visa and she had a wedding (minus the legality stuff). i was there at her wedding but never got the time to talk about the fiancee visa thing. She is in US now..she left the country a month ago. 3 months after her "wedding". now i am having 2nd thoughts about doing this ceremonial wedding thing. but if ever we do it, im sure we will not show the photos to the immigration pips to give them reason to doubt.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresceremonial wedding
Do you think we wont have any problem if we will have a ceremonial wedding?
Shaun and I decided to have a wedding (ceremonial) 4-5 months from now. We will have complete entourage with matching primary sponsors, etc, excpt that there are no legal papers involved. im so excited..searching online for wedding program designs, wedding gown designs, etc. We dont want a big celebration..just a small intimate celebration with few friends and family (we are both on a tight budget) before we go to the US. I am hoping that we will be able to finalize our "wedding" preps prior to my interview at the embassy...and hopefully we will not be stressed out with the wedding preps and the K1 visa thing. i need suggestions..but i dont know about what..hehehe..im crazy...

PhilippinesCENOMAR ?? Has anybody from the Phils. went to the interview w/o it and got approved?
The prescreener asked me my NSO birthcertificate, NBI clearance. He said if i have the CENOMAR, i have to submit it too (which i did)...i was interviewed last feb 05. The packet 4 i received has a small paper attached to it informing me about the CENOMAR stuff. I got my CENOMAR in less than two hours in our local NSO office..i went there as early as 8am..smile.gif Good luck and Godbless.

I followed the delbros example ..but each time i send it they reply that i sent an invalid format..grrrrr...i tried erasing the PHP in the amount entry, and used the usual 12 hour system (1pm instead of 1300pm like in their example). eventually they were able to accept my sms. My unlimited text went zero because delbros is globe and i am smart. smile.gif

How do you deal with stress? Stress has been too much lately. There's the work stress...the hospital's going for ISO certification and have to beat deadlines, there's the terrible patients, doctors, etc, and the interview stress. I sleep so late every night spending so much time on interview document preparation (feels like im going to have a theses defense..whew!!!). And just this evening mom called from the other side of the province and told me she is so sick she needs to be confined in the hospital... crying.gif I feel guilty thinking that i am flying to manila on monday for my Medical on January 29 when mama is sick..sad.gif Good thing my bro will take care of mama at the meantime while i am not around.
Good thing too that my sweetheart and I talk everyday even just for a few minutes (it keeps my sanity intact...hehehe). My bestfriend pup also help keep the stress level down and of course VJ...for the tutorials smile.gif on how to arrange these documents from start to finish smile.gif Only a few more days and this will be over and our STRESSED selves will enjoy our DESSERTS. After all....stressed is really desserts spelled backwards smile.gif smile.gifsmile.gif

I got a text message this afternoon from an unknown number...telling me to get my package from the embassy in their apartment...i was like...WHAT????? i dialled the number and man on the other line asked me if i am Miss Shining Angel...i said yes..i asked him how come my packet was delivered to his house....he said it was addressed to their address.....we have the same house number????huh????? The man who received my packet was kind enough to go to the hospital to give me the package....the packet 4 and the precious appointment letter...
My address written on the appointment letter from the embassy is CORNER WHITE PLAINS but the address on the DHL envelope is only WHITE PLAINS. Maybe the person who wrote my home address was too tired to copy the CORNER word and because of that one missing word my packet was delivered to the wrong address. Good thing they wrote my contact number in the receipt slip of the DHL package that's why the person who received my packet was able to contact me.
I have the appointment letter now. . .they stapled a small piece of paper in the packet about the CENOMAR. and they crossed out the 100$ fee with a ballpen and replaced it with 131$.
