OMG!!! im so sorry to hear about this Michael, But this isn't new to me at all I've seen lots of Filipinas who are dating Americans while they're dating Filipinos here. It bugs me a lot cause they're ruining the reputations of Filipinas ....anyway , piece of advice :

please be careful in choosing partner sometimes we need to listen to our mind and not only our heart

PhilippinesTampo
Seriously tampo doesn't last for days.I think she doesnt really care about you man cause if she did she wont leave you hanging and making you literally insane just trying to get a hold of her.

i know its sucks ,but you have to face it and look at the brighter side ,at least this happened now where you guys are not yet tied together.
This obviously shows that she is not a caring and considerate person at all.

sorry dude , i know this is isn't making you feel any better but it any consolation at least it happened in the early stage of the relationship

I know shes...God makes everything beautiful in HIS time....yeah i paid 2 weeks before my interview thats april 28th but Delbros said they just forwarded the request to NSO may 5th....allow 4 weeks after that...thats what he said.....but some of my batchmates in interview last may 15th only pay their doc verification on that day got their visa in hand may22nd....y it happened like that...i dont know.... crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif



dont be sad...i think its a case to case basis..look at the bright side, at least you still have more time to spend with your family,cause once youre in the states it wont be really soon that you can come back in the Phil to visit your folks...so make yourself busy and spend it with families good.gif

if you are in the states, just get one at the post office. if it needs to be drawn from a u.s. bank, i am assuming it is being sent to the u.s., so i am having a hard time understanding why you would get the money order in the philippines to send to the u.s. if one of you is here already...but i must admit i have no idea what a crba is....so, maybe if we had a bit more info we could help smile.gif

i didnt check through your documents, im not really an expert in that, but it appears you are very organized, and based on what everyone else has said it looks like you have everything.

im just writing to focus you on something people tend to forget about on here, like dzyrhetom said, refamiliarize yourself with your fiancee's background and history...and make SURE you can repeat it easily and smoothly in english, according to my wife ALOT of filipinas had difficulty in the interview when they were asked questions they didnt know the answer to, or they didnt know how to say it in english...so make sure you are prepared for that as well and you will be just fine smile.gif

gotta say the post 2 above this one pretty much summarizes what i was saying. i stated more than once that this may or may not apply to you, if it does, great, maybe this will help. if not, it doesnt mean you are any better, or have a better wife, it simply means you are in a different situation than what i have observed in my and other relationships.

dont try to act like you dont have fights or always get along, because that is simply a lie.

as i write this my wife is ranting about the girl who moved to a cold place here, i wont mention where, and she obviously want prepared for the weather, but the man wasnt aware of how cold she was and that she was layering all her clothes to keep warm, and she never mentioned it and never complained...he never knew that in her native tongue she was complaining to her friends that she was freezing to death, so before you throw stones, make sure you arent in a glass house.

and yes, i know i didnt describe lambing well...but i gave it a shot tongue.gif

and to reiterate one last time, this was meant to be used to help, not as a place to brag about whether or not your wife and you fight about these particular things. these are just some things i have observed filipinas and americans fighting about, and my thoughts on how to avoid it, thats it.


and clearly based on some of the statements made by filipinas here, they have gone through exactly the same thing....so i cant be that far off wink.gif

My wife is easy going, and always has a smile on her face and seems to be very happy.

Sound like you have had your hands full

Hopefully things will work out and settle down for you.



the reason i wrote this is because it isnt just my wife who has done this, but all of our friends and other contacts here....i wouldnt have written this based on only my wife, but if i felt others were going through something similar. and for the most part, she has stopped most of these things since last year.

maybe your wife is the exception rather than the rule wink.gif

clearly its possible that is the case with mine, but she sat here with me helping me remember some of these things, and even helping with the wording of it, especially the lambing....so i am guessing it isnt just her.

PhilippinesAmerican Filipina relationship user manual
the topic states its for american men, but this is probably true for other western men as well, but i can only speak as an american.

no one has asked for this, and i am no expert or relationship therapist or anything, but i have seen in my personal relationship, and in the relationships of our friends and family in similar situations all having similar (or exactly the same) problems which are easily avoided. after helping with a friend who arrived here recently, i decided maybe i could share some insights that i have found helpful, and helpful when we have passed them along to others, so here it is, and hopefully it can at least ease some tension in our relationships.

first our background: my wife arrived here as my fiancee at the end of may last year, we got married on august 9th, and she is now pregnant and ready to deliver at the end of may.


HOMESICKNESS


at first when she arrived here we were very busy, seeing all the sights and basically living like we were on vacation, but when i went back to work her depression and homesickness set in. filipinos have a different culture than most of us here in america, as im sure you know already, but something that is not immediately obvious to the casual observer is that many filipinos are surrounded by immediate and distant relatives, and even the neighbors are nealy like relatives and become such a part of each other's lives as to become almost inseparable. one of the first culture shocks for most filipinas moving here is that neighbors tend to keep to themselves, and if they dont, i is uncomfortable to go hangout with them anyway. both sides of the relationship should keep this in mind, the structure she is used to having around her is totally gone. dont expect neighbors to be chismosa with.

if you are feeling home sick, try to go to the local filipino grocery store, if there isnt one in your area, try the asian store...theres usually at least one in most towns...in any case, try to get some familiar food in your belly, for some reason familiar food will make you feel at home. luckily here we can get things from crabs, all the way to calamansi...if you are homesick do your best to get some filipino food, and maybe a filipino friend or two smile.gif


THREATS TO RUN AWAY


in the first couple of weeks expect to become VERY homesick, this is normal. since everyone is different, there is no way to say when it will start, or how long it will last, but unless you are VERY accustomed to traveling and living in different places, you can pretty much guarantee you will be missing home so bad it hurts. even if you dont think you will, trust me, you will. now, during this phase it is very normal and natural to start thinking of going home to stop the pain, if you do feel this way DO NOT threaten to go home. every filipina i know within a few weeks of getting here has started feeling homesick, which has led to a fight of some kind, then they threaten to leave. dont do this, you might think its the only power you have right now, and the only thing you want, but it only leads to hurting your husband to be, and weakens the relationship, and it will in the end only cause you more pain, because no matter what happens this threat will not help you in any way unless he is physically harming you, dont threaten to leave. if he is hurting you then you SHOULD leave.


ACTUALLY RUNNING AWAY


i know that most of you despite this warning will still threaten to leave, and fight with him until you DO leave since, again, EVERY filipina i know has run away, but before you go to this step, think about how you would feel if you just spent years and thousands of dollars to bring someone to be with you and all she wanted to do is leave you. think about how bad that would hurt you. think about what an insult that is, and again, how badly this will hurt the relationship. also, think of how worried he will be when you are gone, and he cant find you, it will tear him up inside.


THREATS


something about filipinas make them think that threats and ultimatums are the only way they can get what they want. guess what? american guys are wired differently (for the most part) if you want something, or want to communicate something you want them to do, or not do, all you have to do is say it. yup, just that simple, tell him you want something, or want him to stop doing something and chances are, if he can, he will. no need to threaten him with "if you do this im going to..." or "im going to kill myself if you..." first of all, we dont fall for the threats, and second you will just upset us when all it would take is mentioning what you want. stop the threats, please.


MISUNDERSTANDINGS/ASSUMPTIONS


i think that a majority of the mis-communications that happen between filipinas and americans stem from the clash of communication between philippine and american culture, and let me explain this: in the philippines, most people dont directly communicate what they are trying to say, so, women especially communicate between the lines, between what is actually said, and what is implied. the men there are brought up knowing how to read these hints and implications and cultural norms, and know how to communicate between the lines as well, and read what the women mean. and beyond that, there is even a cultural device called "tampo" were someone who is upset should lock themselves away and not directly confront the person or thing that upset them. guess what, americans are not brought up that way, we are brought up in a culture where (generally speaking) directness and forthrightness are respected over hinting at and implying things. so, here is something i have learned in my relationship: men, assume you will be misinterpreted. make a statement that what you are saying is actually what you are saying, and what you mean, and there is nothing else there, no hints or signals. women, you should assume that when he is speaking and he says something, thats probably EXACTLY what he means, and nothing more, or less, dont assume he means something other than EXACTLY what those words were. if he says " the house is dirty" he means simply "the house is dirty" he is stating a fact, not making a judgment about you, or that you should clean it, he just noticed it, and said it. again, in most cases this will be true. women, we arent going to get the hint, if you hint at it, we arent going to understand. communicate directly with him, and expect him to communicate directly with you, and you will get along MUCH better. i cant possibly count the number of times i have asked a question and gotten an answer completely unrelated to what i asked, because she assumes i mean something else hahaha


THE SILENT TREATMENT


another part of communication, or lack thereof, is the filipina silent treatment. to me the most maddening trait of all. she is upset, and instead of telling him why, she simply sits there obviously upset, but wont say why. again, the guy is supposed to figure out why she is upset, dont expect that to EVER happen girls, we arent mind readers, and we werent brought up in your culture, so please just assume we wont figure it out and just do the grown up adult thing and tell us what you are upset about. holding it in is unhealthy for you, and wont ever, ever, ever (get my point?) solve anything. just tell us what you are upset about so we can move on with our lives.


THE TEMPER TANTRUM


now, this is something i truly thought i would only see in a child, but it was really amazing to me to see grown women throwing a tantrum like a child. again, just communicate whatever is upsetting you, and we will probably be accommodating. if you want attention, there are better ways to go about it. from what i have heard, most filipinas do this, and also most of them stop eventually after being in the states for a while...maybe seeing that americans dont usually do this helps? i any case, of all the ways i have seen filipinas react to things, this one is pretty ridiculous. if you are a tantrum thrower, please stop. please. its extremely childish, and you will make your man lose respect for you.


LANGUAGE


this is a particularly interesting topic to me, as a military linguist, the interesting interpretation the filipinos make on the english language. it is endlessly interesting to hear the pronunciation and misuse of our language biggrin.gif

this is fairly obvious, but i think it bears mentioning, clearly there can and will be language barriers. even my wife who is nearly fluent, and whom my american friends feel has little to no accent, still makes minor grammatical and pronunciation errors, and she is probably the best non-native english linguist i have ever heard. but, aside from your average everyday language barriers, which can be at the least annoying, and at the worst a knock down drag out fight, i thought i would list for the benefit of all some interesting english language as interpreted by the filipinos:

f becomes p and vise versa
a becomes u and vise versa
(now say "backpack" following the filipino rules lol)
let - if a filipino says "he let me pay a 1000 pesos" that means he was forced.
make - "he makes me go out so i dont get bored" that means he is allowing her to go out. its a good thing.
slippers - are sandals. for some reason
"he didnt ENTERTAIN me at his office" entertain in this sense means accommodate, not being entertaining. which is actually what it used to be in english too...but that meaning fell out of usage.

thats all i can think of for now, if i think of more i will add them later.


LAMBING


ah...lambing. next to tampo, probably the second most misunderstood cultural phenomenon of the filipina lifestyle. lambing is when she asks to leave, so you do, then she wants you by her, but she tells you to leave again. or she wants you to take her to a restaurant, so you do, but when you get there she doesnt want to go in so you, frustrated, take her home all angry, and she is angry too, because she wanted to go to the restaurant. honestly, after like 3 years, i dont understand it at all. again, ladies, just be open and honest and direct instead of all that lambing stuff. not "when you go to her she says go away, leave me alone, but when you leave she comes running to you and asking you not to leave"


________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________



all in all, probably the biggest source of frustration between american men and filipina women is that it is built in to the filipina to be indirect and assuming and hinting, where it is built into the american man to be direct and forthright and if he assumes something, he assumes that what you said is EXACTLY what you meant....so if both parties can realize this, and internalize it for their communications with one another, things will get easier. women, ONLY assume he means exactly and only what he said, and dont mislead him with your hints and threats and saying things in a way you dont actually want them to be. men, you have to assume she is going to read whatever you say wrong, so state those things carefully, and let her know you arent hinting or implying something else. my wife knows this about me, but STILL she thinks i am upset when i ask a simple factual question, fo example "hey, did you hang a new picture in the office?" her: "why, you dont like it?" and she does this despite the fact that she knows deep down that if i didnt like it, i would just say i didnt like it, right away. so, i have to preface those kinds of things with "this doesnt mean i dont like it, but i noticed a new picture in the office, did you just put it up?"

thats the best advice i have for all of us, just communicate directly, and assume you are being directly communicated with, and you will avoid alot of fights you didnt need to have.

please let me know if i am way off on anything, and feel free to add or substrate anything you would like, i just made this to hopefully help anyone who is in a relationship between a filipina woman and an american man smile.gif (although probably men from other western countries probably have similar reactions)

sorry i know i may sound stupid but i am really freaking out again.

and oh last one does he need a bigger savings account in the I-134 cause it was really small but his income tax is $39,000+
and some bonds of $4,000

is it enough?

well, they usually need red ribbon for TOR only if your applying for working visa.

but if its K visa i dont think you need any of that.They didnt even asked me if i graduated college or not or what school i went too.


dont worry you dont need those documents at all

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHow long does the embassy released the approved Visa to delbros?
guess we all have the same issue here.my interview was lat april 23rd and its bothering me cause i tried texting delbros hot and thye keep telling me that the embassy hasnt forwarded my case to them yet.I guess all we have to do is to wait.
Anyway, lets just hope that it will be released soon
