K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Approved - at last!	CONGRATS Anka, that's fantastic news!! At long last the wait has paid off!! QUOTE (anka @ Oct 28 2008, 02:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WE HAVE BEEN....finally... APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently, USCIS - Vermont approved our 129F on October 23rd. But it didn't show up online until today! I never received an email, nor has the notice arrived in the mail via post yet. Hang in there people! I, too, was beginning to really worry and freak out that something was wrong since it'd been such a long time since I'd heard anything... there IS light at the end of the tunnel! . ..Now, off to start fretting over the next phase of this journey.	nate_loves_daisy	Male	Philippines	2008-10-28 11:44:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2008 Filers	QUOTE (MarcelandKatrina @ Jul 20 2008, 12:51 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey guys, we technically belong here since our NOA 1 date is June 30th One thing we are kinda frustrated about is trying to plan a date for the wedding. Since the whole process could take as little as 5 or as long as 8 months, how can you plan? Does anyone else have this problem? I mean of course we could wait til like the interview to start planning but its hard to plan a wedding in a short amout of time especially with making reservations, etc. And isn't it true that the visa is only good for 4 months from when the USCIS approves it? We want to get married ASAP but we don't want to set a date and then the visa not be ready by then. We used the estimated date of our approval and added 60 days. We must be married in 90 days that gives us some room on either side. Of course if the process speeds up or slows dramatically we would make changes as needed. We are comfortable with our mid January date (in Disney). Good luck	nate_loves_daisy	Male	Philippines	2008-07-20 14:03:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2008 Filers	QUOTE (marcuskelli @ Jul 10 2008, 07:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh man...now im panicking We sent ours on June 30th and havent heard a THING yet Should I panick?? Wait it out?? Check has not been cashed or anything. Hi Marcuskelli, Don't worry, here's why. I panicked starting at 10 days from the date I sent the I-129F. The USCIS didn't cash my check and they wouldn't accept my call until 4 weeks after we filed. In the end they got the petition, its in the stack with everybody else's. So if you have a USPS (or other) tracking number that says they signed for your paperwork sit back and relax, its being processed. I was a mess for weeks so please learn from my overreaction. Good luck on your journey! Nate and Daisy	nate_loves_daisy	Male	Philippines	2008-07-10 19:46:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June 2008 Filers	Hello fellow June Filers! After contacting USCIS I am happy to report that we have our NOA1. Not hardcopy or electronic copy......verbal. I am putting in 7/24 for the date because that is the average (12 days) these days. I checked the USCIS website to see my NOA1 date but, due to my phone call, the last action date is today. At least our voyage has started and we have left the shore. Good luck everybody!	nate_loves_daisy	Male	Philippines	2008-07-08 11:46:00

However USCIS assured me that they have it and it will be processed. I'd be happy with a touch at this point to be a little more certain. Best of luck to everyone, even to those who filed after Daisy and I.	nate_loves_daisy	Male	Philippines	2008-10-19 19:00:00

Philippines	DS-156 - middle name question	QUOTE (Piscean @ Mar 12 2009, 09:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is the middle name they asked in question number 7 considered as the second name or the mother's maiden name? i don't know what to write because the middle name that i wrote in the g-325A is my mother's maiden name not my second name. I believe here in the US by middle name they mean your second name and not your mothers last name. So if your name is Maria Teresa or Maria Elena then your middle name would be Teresa or Elena and your first name is Maria. I had thesame problem before until my husband explained things to me. Or if you want to be more certain you can call USCIS at their customer service number.	Tessa In NJ	Female	Philippines	2009-03-12 12:37:00

Philippines	WHAT IF.......	[quote name='Mariel_Esteban' date='Mar 12 2009, 06:27 AM' post='2730236'] I AM HAPPY TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO'S VISA WAS GRANTED! (and envy them as well.....) and I am not against those people posting that their Visa was granted, that they recieved good news with their visa process..... BUT....will it be better if you can just post topics that can help other people who are waiting and almost hopeless people waiting for their visas? or other topic that can be useful while waiting for the visa? (example: What are things you need to know? to prepare? to expect?..blah..blah!) I know we are all happy for you...but will it make us feel better? I don't think so....coz as for my part it would make me feel more desperate to be with the Love of my Life...coz majority of the topic is "finally,received my visa", "have an interview schedule",blah blah....but what do they respond to them..."Congratulations!" that's it! Again,I'm just stating what i feel....hate me..i dont care.....but can we just be more helpful and useful here to others who are desperately waiting for their visa approvals? I can understand what are undergoing but I think its not the intention of these people who post their happiness when their visas are granted or successful interviews to make you feel down or disappointed. They are just showing you that there is HOPE. Please see the positive side of their posting and not the negativity of your feelings. I am sure your time will come and when that happens... you will also post it here and share it with all the VJ members who will also congratulate you.

He said that america is one of the developed countries with high college drop outs. I am just curious if the pinay members here in VJ are also college drop outs, which I think may not be true. I guess there are many pinays, who are here in america, are educated and even college/masters degree holder. If you are a college/masters degree holder, you're invited to join in this thread and be counted. This is just for fun. You deserve to be recognized! I hold a Bachelors Degree In Accounting....

Philippines	Why Choose a Filipino Girl	QUOTE (DanielParul @ Jul 29 2008, 04:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats a generalised statement. There are women with bad qualities and equally good qualities anywhere in the World, nowhere more and nowhere any less. As far as beauty is concerned, its really a personal choice. How come the world doesn't get to see more Miss Worlds and Miss Universes from Phillipines then... Also being religious has nothing to do with whether one is Christian or not. The perfect wife is a relative term - depends on what you are looking for. Daniel and I did not have to remind each other and everybody else of how perfect a husband/wife we will make because he's American and I am Indian. Nor did we have to tell each other what the odds of us having a successful marriage were, based on the numbers...

Philippines	Why Choose a Filipino Girl	QUOTE (Gaby&Talbert @ Jul 29 2008, 03:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We could point out all the better qualities of foreign women over american women (in general). I don't think it is insecurity but pride! I would say most men that marry a foreign bride is proud that he has gotten a good wife over getting an American wife who has the bad qualities that drove us to look abroad. I know American women are going to say I am bashing them but this is not what I am trying to do. I am only pointing out that some American men have had enough bad experiences with American women that we feel our chance for happiness is better from a foreign bride. I know I would have chosen to remain single if I had to marry an American woman. marry an american women? do people still do that?	ronjie	Male	Philippines	2008-07-29 17:59:00

Philippines	gurls... be careful with what you eat..	if it is white, don't eat it...., flour products like doughnuts, cookies, cakes, pastas, bread, pizza, and even rice. if you must eat white rice, then do small portions and not everyday. artifcial sweeteners are worse than pure sugar. stay away from sodas, and sweet drinks. if you must eat any of these things. then do it only on weekends or certain pre determined days. stick to lean meats and fish with salads veggies, fruit, nuts and exercise. buy a bicycle or kayak. swim, hike, and walk. if you don't eat right and stay active. YOU WILL GET FAT. it worked for me. i lost 70 lbs. but sometimes you just have to get tired of being fat, before you do something about it. there are a lot of advantages to being lean... heath being number one. but its also great for making love too. good luck to everyone and their struggle to stay thin ron	ronjie	Male	Philippines	2008-07-27 11:43:00
Philippines	Filipino husbands getting in touch with female side	QUOTE (Jabberwocky @ Aug 7 2008, 10:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (alizeyah @ Aug 7 2008, 06:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (MOLEN @ Aug 8 2008, 07:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (BJZags @ Aug 5 2008, 06:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Jabberwocky @ Aug 5 2008, 09:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Many of these men had chosen to stay at home despite having "marketable skills and academic credentials" enabling them to find work outside the home, but 45 percent of them evolved in Manila because there was no other choice, Magpantay said. My wife would say the Filipino husbands have chosen to stay home because they are lazy. That's an insult to us Filipino Husband. We are blue collar worker...we are not lazy. I don't think she will say that..... Filipino men are more hard worker than white people. Been here in the US for 20 years........I haven't seen a single Pinoy standing in the middle of the street ...holding a carboard boxes that say's "WILL WORK FOR FOOD". Giving them opportunity...like here in the US.......I bet they will work their heart out, Working 2 jobs during weekdays... plus picking alluminun cans in the garbage on the weekend for extra cash. Company in philippines tend to hire more gals than guys..cuz' they are more presentable. Most skilled husband are working abroad or seaman. I bet they don't survey that.....a wife is a teacher and a husband is a farmer....I bet they did take a look at that. That survey is bull.......You can't just say FILIPINO HUSBAND ARE LAZY Just because you are married to a crack*er.....hell nooooo.....you gonna hear from them.......eww........stink.....I'm burn out.....can't wait for the weekend......nastyyyyyyyy. Geez you stop complaining and work............................ I totally agree with you!!! Gals are hired more cuz they are more presentable hehehe. The survey for husbands who doesn't have jobs and have the wifey working for the fam most likely covers the class C or D of the society. So I don't think it has something to do with the metrosexual count, as i know that survey result may yield not only in the Philippines. Totally different issue! And about that FILIPINO HUSBANDS ARE LAZY??? come on you should think WAAAAY better than that...how could you come up with a generalization like that?! My future husband is by the way, a first Lieutenant in the U.S. army, a FILIPINO, at age 35 worked his way so hard just to be who he is now (whom i'm sooo very proud of)....did i mention that he's a war vet too??? So watch it dude! It's good to hear from Filipinos here in this forum as you are under-represented here! Hopefully, enough people like you will speak up and help dispell the myth and stereotypes of Filipino men. My father in Law, and brother in Laws are very kind and hard working men. they deserve, and do get all my respect. I'm very proud to be part of their family.

Philippines	CFO SEMINAR in CEBU	yes, bring all that stuff and then they will tell you how bad foreign men are. and then they will reach their hands out and take the money your foreign fiance/spouse gave you for the seminar. it really sucks that we have to pay them so they can try to scare you girls and tell you how bad foreign men are. I know that some relationships turn out bad, but there has to be a better way to educate, then to take our money and scare the girls...	ronjie	Male	Philippines	2008-08-12 02:55:00
