Philippines	stressing out and waiting for visas to be delivered	i would try and call Air21 and ask if the embassy released your visas yet...maybe they just haven't put it in the system yet...sometimes they take awhile to do it but it would make me feel more at ease if you call and talk to a person. yes we tried calling 2 days ago ..unfortunately we cant make a call today cos its a holiday here.but will do tomorrow thats for sure...thank u for the reply God bless	rk17	Not Telling	Philippines	2010-05-03 06:22:00

Philippines	My beautiful wife is very irresponsible	QUOTE (Jasman0717 @ Nov 16 2009, 06:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My sweet little Claudeth is a wonderful, giving woman but is also the most irresponsible person I have ever met in my life. I never seen anyone melt a bar of soap before but she does it. She can plug up the shower drain quickly and just loves to take 30 or 45 minute showers twice a day. She leaves the lights on constantly and the refrigator open all the time. She will fill her plate full of food and eat about 1/4 of it and the rest goes in the trash. I am totally at my wits end. I have been dealing with this for 4 1/2 years but have made no progress in teaching her conservation. I love her very much and would never dream of getting rid of her but have been thinking of sending her to the Philippines for a visit. Has anyone else had this problem? I have heard comments off and on but nothing consistant with what my little consumer does. aww thats sad ..well what can i say...i suggest u talk it over 2, 3 times wouldnt hurt ..is she willing to cmpromise? if u feel comfortable of sending her back here inth phil for a vacation, maybe that'd be a wise decision so that she would realize the difference of having u around and not...maybe when she gets back to u she would somehow realize that she's wrong..good luck to both of u...God bless	rk17	Not Telling	Philippines	2009-12-01 08:50:00
Philippines	anybody who filed an annulment case in the philippines?	QUOTE (tedjen @ Sep 8 2008, 05:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> According to the lawyer I knew, it depends where to file the case. Some cities/municipalities grant annulment faster than others like in Batangas (according to the lawyer) but of course, you should be living in Batangas for you to be able to file the case there OR you can use your relative's (if you have one) address in Batangas. As expected, annulment case is so expensive. You need at least Php 100,000 (as a start) for you to get a lawyer, psychiatrist and psychologist. Then more money for lawyer's per appearance fee and other expenses. The average time I know for annulment case is 1 year. But there are cases that you can get it for 6-8 months! hi there..i just saw ur reply regarding annulmet and i see ur getting a k3..im still going thru my annulment and its been 3 monhs now going 4...after i get my anulment we would have to decide which visa to get a k1 or k3...just worried the USEM might be thinking bad about us getting a visa at once after my anulment..baka mag duda so im getting a lil bit worried about that matter pls add me up so we could share ideas...iba kc ive heard about some stories na kc..pinakasalan here in the phil para makaalis stuffs like that eh medyo ahead pa naman fiance ko ..i dont want them to think that way .... xzie1980@yahoo.com thanks goodluck	rk17	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-11-02 11:35:00

Philippines	Cost for annulment ..	QUOTE (Skeeter211 @ Feb 21 2008, 07:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We filed in 2005 and it took 18 months to complete. The attorney's fees and court filings were P150,000 alone. Then there were doctor's fees for pysch reports and DSDW fees because of her daughter's custody decision. That doesn't count the travel expenses from her home to CDO where she filed the papers and for the hearings. I would guess that all in all it cost about P250,000 for everything. I guess at today's peso rate, $3000 is only P120,000 so that is a fair estimate in my opinion. It's not cheap by any means, but I don't regret a single peso spent. There are ways to get it faster and cheaper I am sure, but be careful. Things that are not done legally can come back to haunt you. Remember that immigration fraud detected suffers a LIFETIME ban. Scott hi krizzie here just would like to ask something about what u been thru ur annulment i paid 185k and according to my atty it would only take 7 months if my x wouldnt oppose to my petition... pls add me up ..xzie1980@yahoo.com thank u so much nd god speed	rk17	Not Telling	Philippines	2008-11-02 11:20:00
