Philippines	Just got married, we are having a hard time apart	I am in the same situation for 2yrs now.. What do I do to keep me busy? #1. Work, Work, Work... #2. $2 phone card a day.. Or subscribe with a Long Distance carrier. You will need the proof on the interview process.. #3. I go to the gym to forget problems and homesickness.. I hope you find these helpful..

Philippines	SLEC medical horror	QUOTE (zakura02 @ Nov 29 2007, 01:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you have to go to a repeat chest xray too? coz i know they dont do routine PPD on medical exam, i am also PPD positive and been declining to undergo INH treatment coz i know ts common if u came from PI and my xray is clear and i have to do it yearly, my hubby is more healthy than me,not even a single sign of TB, doesn't smoke at all.. Nope.. Just one X-Ray and one decision for me to go to Public Health as soon as I arrive in the US.	Roserick	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-11-29 13:37:00
Philippines	SLEC medical horror	QUOTE (zakura02 @ Nov 29 2007, 12:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was so upset, i've been telling him to get an initial one but he is didnt listen to me! But thanks sis, i will just hope for the best, but i want to know if suspicious TB or old infection will be a ground for denial? I don't think so.. Its not like it was his choice to get sick.. Illegal DRUGS is a choice, that is why permanent ban is the penalty.. If you wanted an American Dream from the start you shouldn't have done Drugs the 1st place.. But anyways.. Let me get back to the topic.. I think they will approve him and cure him here.. I myself failed my PPD... So as soon as I got to the US, the immigration officer instructed me to go to Public Health and get cured. NO I don't have TB.. I was prone to it.. Alot of asians are.

Philippines	packet 3 and packet 4?	QUOTE (pechez @ Dec 3 2007, 08:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is the process same in the K1 and K3? Coz I'm in the K3 visa. Is it okay to get a passport now and a police clearance?, even without having the packet 3? Sure.. I don't see a problem why not.. As a matter of fact its better now than later.. Like on my wife's case.. I should have told her to get her NBI clearance from the start.. She just got hers today, and I just got my Packet 3 today also.. So it will still take time for her to send it to me.. How I would love to rush this and send it tomorrow ASAP.. But not.. Since I have to wait for her docs.

Philippines	Cathay Pacific Deal	QUOTE (hoosier @ Dec 7 2007, 11:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've booked my last 2 trips through www.justfares.com both trips they beat B-Tstore by 200 bucks let alone their service is excellent compared to any of the travel websites. Just call the number and speak to your own live agent, most that work there are Pinoy. My agent is Emy he is amazing and has bent over backwards to accomodate my requests. For my upcoming trip in February about 2 weeks after I booked Northwest canceled my connecting flight from Chicago to Minneapolis, I get a phone call from Emy explaining that it was canceled and worked on an alternative flight and called me back more than once. I just can't say enough good things about these guys. Wow.. That's the type of service I want..	Roserick	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-12-07 11:33:00

Philippines	Cathay Pacific Deal	QUOTE (hoosier @ Dec 6 2007, 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just get my tickets now straight to manila. then go to cebupacificair.com and buy a ticket from Manila to Cebu theres like 8 flights a day it's like a one hour flight and if you purchase early you can get the go fares which sometimes are as low as 20 bucks with fees. flights booked directly to Cebu from the US are always way overpiced compared to just flying to Manila and then taking Cebu Pacific. Domestic flights on Cebupacific are so dirt cheap if you book early and get the go fares especially. Well I'm not from Cebu.. I'm from Pampanga just an hour and half driving from Manila..

Philippines	Non-Stops from Manila to US - Where and What Airline?	To answer your 1st question.. There are no non stop flights from the East Coast to Manila. If your in the East Coast, depending on the Airline, Your stops are either Japan, South Korea, or Taipei. If you want non stop flights.. You have to fly to Vancouver, Las Vegas or LAX to get Philippine Airlines non stop flights to the Philippines.	Roserick	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-12-07 00:36:00
