Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Successful immigration after deportation?	QUOTE (visaexpress! @ Jul 21 2009, 06:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He was deported for overstaying his visa. He was ordered to voluntarily depart the U.S. in 2004 as his sponsor had passed away. If he "voluntarily departed" ... he was NOT deported ... If you filed an I-130 for him ... you should have no problems ... On the other hand ... if he was ordered to voluntarily depart ... but did not depart ... that could be a horse of a different color ... is this what you are saying happened? -- George	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-07-21 18:43:00
Philippines	nationality	QUOTE (cg_2004 @ Jul 11 2009, 02:41 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi everyone! My fiance and I had planned on getting married this coming September. My fiance is a Filipino but his citizenship was changed into Australian when his mother petitioned him. I'm confused on what requirements will he follow in getting a marriage license. Will he follow the same requirements of a Filipino or will he follow the requirements for a foreigner fiance?? Please help me.. If he has not gone thru the process to reaquire Philippines citizenship (dual citizenship) ... then he will follow the same procedure that any Australian citizen will follow ... -- George	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-07-11 10:22:00
Philippines	Travel to the Phils	I fly out of Seattle ... I prefer EVA or China Air with one stop over in Taipei then on to Manila ... arrival in Manila is about noon ... For your Manila to Tacloban flight ... choose PAL ... price may be a bit higher ... but PAL is the way to go ... trust me on that ... stay away from Cebu Pacific ... I wont try to comment on the airport fees ... my memory is not so good ... most are included in the price of your ticket ... but I do remember paying a fee upon departure ... cant recall how much it was though ... -- George	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-07-12 15:53:00

Philippines	What if your girl is at the bottom of the Philippines	QUOTE (Filipina Lover @ Jul 8 2009, 09:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the answers, normally I wouldn't care about the cost of anything, but since I just did all of this and spent about $10,000 and then lost my girl, now I need to be careful, try to save if I can. Now I am worried, what if the next girl changes her mind at the last minute. I just can't believe that happened, did all the immigration stuff, got the plane ticket, everything arranged, all ready to fly here and then changes her mind. Weird, one day it's total love for me, and the next I am nobody. It happens all the time ... Let me guess ... you met her online ... and before you knew it fell in love ... Then you flew to the Philippines to see her in person ... and it was great ... 2 weeks of pure heaven! Next you filed for a K-1 visa ... and sent money to support "your girl" throughout the visa process ... Well guess what ... chances are that at the same time you were getting scammed ... she had at least two other suckers on a string ... doing the same thing to them that she did to you ... Beware of women you meet on the internet ... -- George	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-07-10 08:36:00

Philippines	straight talk about sex	QUOTE (ErosandSally @ Jul 26 2009, 07:04 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why does everyone insist is not a culture thing.... Because it is NOT a cultural thing ...

Philippines	straight talk about sex	QUOTE (Brijo @ Jul 26 2009, 02:39 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hope this isnt too forward a subject, but frankly I dont know where else to talk about this at. Me and my wife got married in January 2008. The day of our marriage, she was going to go "home" which was 45 minutes away, so she could teach at her school the next day. The only reason she didnt do that is because it affected me so much, on our wedding day, that I cried. We are together now. To this day I have not seen her naked. When we make love, the lights all have to be out. She wont let me touch her sexually unless we make love, and then only on her breasts. It really affects me....... We go round and round about this. Is it cultural? Am I an idiot to be so affected? It is affecting our relationship. Am very serious with this topic. Thanks I wont go into any detail ... I'll just say that what you describe about your wedding night and about your sex life in general ... are the exact opposite of my personal experience ... Your problems DONT have anything to do with culture ... they are specific to your wife ... Good luck ... -- George	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-07-26 11:55:00

Philippines	Wonder what to do next...	QUOTE (DobermanGuy @ Sep 4 2009, 08:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I send her lots of cards and letters in the postmail... I have filled her email box to the point that Yahoo will likely start charging her for 'space' soon... I left PLENTY of sweet comments on her friendster... We txt so much now that she has to load her phone every 3 or 4 days! (A P500 load USED to last her for 2 months! HAA!!) We talk on the phone daily and I actually LISTEN to her and what she has to say... Here in a few hours, she will be calling because she got some roses from me... (THIS is going to be a good call I am SURE!) She does not know they are coming... I wonder what I can do next to show my honey how much I care for her??? I tell her all the time but like to do things to show her also... Money wont work here, She is NOT impressed this way at all. Would likely make her angry if it was something expensive... ALL of her personal needs are met, so I can't really do anything there to help. I am NOT willing to send her any body parts just yet. That would likely work against me here. No way I am getting any more tattoos either!!! Any suggestions here for what I could do next??? Thanks!! Make her a pizza with your own hands ... Maybe you can get thepizzadude to help out and teach you what you need to know ... Good luck! -- George	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-09-21 20:58:00

Philippines	Favorite Junk Food?	QUOTE (Tahoma @ Oct 15 2009, 03:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My wife eats very healthy and is a good influence on me, but she sometimes craves her favorite junk food.

She also has some American favorites like potato chips, beef jerky, and the greasy french fries from the local drive-in. Oh, and I almost forgot...Coca Cola. She can eat and drink all she wants without ever gaining a single pound. On the other hand, I am the junk food King...chips, fries, baked goods, and anything chocolate. It's all good.

Philippines	removal of conditional status	Hello ... I did not submit a notarized affidavit ... I did include letters from three firends who are not relatives ... Below is a sample of how a letter should be composed ... Hope this gives you some idea of what you may want to submit ... -- George ================================ 555 45th Ave W Bugtussle, WA 955555 (555) 555-5555 July 18, 2009 Dear Sirs: I first met John Jones several years ago as a member of my local church and we became friends. He was married to another Filipino lady at the time. That marriage failed and some time later John became acquainted with Jane, a Filipina working in Hong Kong, and a romance developed. Though my wife and Jane never knew each other in the Philippines, they met when Jane immigrated to the US and they have become good friends. As a matter of fact, my wife Jill considers Jane one of her best friends. They go shopping together and we share their company on picnics, birthday parties and just visiting each other. We see them nearly every weekend. We also learned that Jane is a cousin of another friend living in Pixley. It’s amazing how we find coincidental interconnections between our acquaintances. John and Jane are living in a house John has lived in for many years in Podunk, a community just south of Bugtussle. We are only about 25 minutes apart. It’s a cozy place and we feel very much at home there. They’ve often been to our house in Bugtussle as well. There is certainly no doubt that they have been living as a married couple! My wife Jill and I are looking forward to a long friendship with them. Sincerely, Jim J Smith Date of birth: 9/26/1936. ================================	Tito Jorge	Male	Philippines	2009-09-21 20:27:00
