Philippines	My fiancee was able to get her PASSPORT	He, he Mike. I know how she felt, I spent 13 hours waiting out side while poor Zenaida waited in line for her passport. Funny, a news camera crew showed up when we where there. They wanted to film the long lines, and they did so from outside. The official's looked like they might ruff them up at first. I was the only white boy hanging around, thought I may end up on TV.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-01 19:30:00
Philippines	Being with your honey for interview ?	Well, I am sure all ladies would like to have their fiance present at interview. I wonder if that presents would send a signal to the consul ( we are serious ). There for minimizing chance for AR or worst. What do you guys think, I ask this question on behalf of all of us approaching the climax.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-05 08:49:00

Philippines	USPS express ?? mail	USPS express mail from R.I.. It was 7 pounds of visa documents, 3 lbs of food/vitamins. It took 12 days before it was ready for pick up by my fiance. I paid $ 120.00 for that. I seem to remember reading a post on this before, it must be picked up at airport(manila). The taxes or tarif paid, and sometimes one can bargin for the amount paid(sorry I only have X pecos... I wonder if any other companys are quicker than that ?? He, he I was told it would take 3--5 days Well truth is, I am just glad it got there.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-11 22:40:00

I am hoping this is some kind of general answer to prepare ladies for worst. Could all the requirement take that long ?	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-13 09:14:00
Philippines	PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES	When I think of the Philippines . I think of people that are kind, patient and relaxing to be around. Well my first thought is always my Zenaida. After we marry, I hope we can spend a month there every year. And years later split my retirement time , half in the states/half in Phil. maybe? Leave the North East in winter time, spend that time in Phil. Maganda life to all !	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-14 21:53:00

Philippines	Delbros is ready to send our papers to USEM	I am a little confused. My Zenaida's interview is April 25 th, to my knowledge she brings papers/documents with her for interview. Than documents are checked by DELBROS after payment is confirmed. I thought that was the hold up that many have been talking about, waiting for DELBROS to check documents after interview. Am I missing something here ?	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-18 05:43:00
Philippines	We just had our interview today....	Couples that got the AR, can you shed any light where you may have been lacking (evidence a little weak ) ?? Or maybe simular situations ? Applied for visa before with another ? Maybe this AR is just random or a Russian rulette thing that they do ? (like a quota ). Just got a little more nervous reading about a one years wait for AR. In any event, good luck to all	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-05 08:03:00

Philippines	Documentation, avoiding delays.	My Zenaida's interview is April 25th. She paid DELBROS about three weeks ago and went threw the various steps via tex messaging. Than followed up shortly after by calling DELBROS as well, confirming payment received. Should one of us call a department at the Embassy, to make sure DELBROS has notified them we paid ?

Philippines	How Did You Meet	Zenaida and I first met threw Filipina Heart in feb 2007. The first time we video chatted, I knew she was differant. It's always been comfortable to talk with Zen, she is still my best friend. :-) We had not been chatting long, maybe a month. I set a date of late March to come see her and maybe another woman. Well the other woman self destructed the little bit of friendship we had (prior to me coming to Phil), I thank god for that. When Zen and I first met in person, I realized she was the right woman for me! I have been to see Zen three times in the last 13 months, including one 6 week visit in Dec./Jan. God, guide us both and look after us.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-19 19:14:00

Philippines	Visa in Hand!!		Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-15 20:09:00
Philippines	interview this fri, only 2006 tax returns available	Thanks everyone, Zen is at embassy now as I type. Regarding our timeline, the main reason is got to be blind luck. Think I heard that vermont hired new bodies a while back, we must have caught that just right. Looking at other time lines, people that filed months before us. I think that they took those newly hired people and set them working on visa's that just arrived. Rather than the other's already in the system. If that wasn't the reason, than we owe it all to V.J. I followed every recomended detail on how to organize the packet, from post its to little plastic bags for pictures. It read like a book, including ya hoo chat pages numbered. Important chat pages, even had notes. The evidence was overwelming but very organized, more than what VJ said was needed. If you look at others who filed around our same time and after, it seems my organizing wasn't a factor. Good luck and God bless to all	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-24 19:53:00
Philippines	interview this fri, only 2006 tax returns available	Well, we will see if not having newest tax returns is a problem. I did send Zen my 2005, 2006 personal and corp returns along with 2007 W-2 and 2008 current pay stubs instead. I am self empoyed. Sweating a little.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-24 06:31:00

Philippines	NEW JOB in the REAL WORLD	Thanks teddy bear. I truely wish the stress of my past, could help some people to avoid that problem all together. Filipina's stay as you are.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-27 19:35:00
Philippines	NEW JOB in the REAL WORLD	May, from reading your posts. I have not doubt that you will be fine, where ever your care to work. Even if you choose to go back to helping your husband, the worth of that help could be far better than any pay check. For anyone who runs a business with their own family, it can be very rewarding or possibly a double edge sword (30 years experiance at this). After owning my own retail business in R.I. for decades, there is many things I have learned and continue to learn. You may find some irate people at your new job as well. Never let them pull you down or let this type of stress accumulate inside you. American's are curious lot. We stress our selfves out over thing that dont really matter, and some wish to pawn that off on others as well. Let those that must have newest car -biggest house- best vacations- all the toys-or the biggest expectations work as they will. My point here is stay as you are, fhilipina's I have met are wonderfully nice and relaxed people. Next time an irate person try's to take it out on you, help them but seperate your self from that anger. The key here is " water over a duck back". Dont let an attack accumulate inside you, feel bad for them ( their insides hurt). "WATER OVER A DUCKS BACK" My best wishes for all fellow V.J. ers , Dennis Edited by Zen Den, 27 April 2008 - 11:20 AM.	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-27 11:17:00

Philippines	Idea's welcomed for preparing for USA entry"POE"	QUOTE (dbears @ Apr 27 2008, 05:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> why don't you include the wedding favors(if your thinking of having one)... you can find good quality items here at lesser cost especially if you'd scan divisoria or the native shops in quiapo... also small tokens for your wedding entourage (if you'll have entourage) and other wedding stuffs. And also why don't you honor her more by wearing our traditional barong on your wedding? you can also get it here... if you are not here with Zen, you can give your measurements to Zen and she could get it done for you or she could go to the mall and get it for you. Click here to get wedding cost estimate in your state: http://www.costofwedding.com/ even if you won't be having a full blown wedding, that estimate would give you a rough idea of the break down of things needed and the cost in your state. Oh my... God. There is just no way I am spending $ 25,000.00 - $ 37,000.00 for a wedding. Holy Tae ! Lol, the buget was is $ 6,000.00. Thanks for that link !

Philippines	Idea's welcomed for preparing for USA entry"POE"	Thanks so much, these kind of reminders can save hundreds of dollars. Sincerely, Dennis	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-27 14:43:00
Philippines	Idea's welcomed for preparing for USA entry"POE"	One thing we just thought of, was buying a wedding dress in phil. Must be less money? one less thing to do in USA. Earlyier on we thought of letters of referal from old jobs (original signatures). Any documents that may come in handy, other than the all important Visa documents. Anyone care to ad on for all of us ?	Zen Den	Male	Philippines	2008-04-27 10:23:00

Philippines	GOD ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS APRIL 4 INTERVIEWEES!!!!!	I called the service center using my last pin # call. Spoke with a tina, they dont seem capable of knowing if Zen's documents are back from NSO na. She gave a general statement that they are taught, figure up to 8 weeks for processing time after interview approval. Zen will call grace at usem like you folks said.
