US Citizenship General DiscussionTravel info
QUOTE (Gemma12nel @ Mar 29 2008, 06:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I have been doing some preparation too for my citizenship, I figured start the list now and keep adding when I take a trip, I got all my previous dates from my airline statements which are avaliable online with my account.


I AGREE. Log into all the mileage or general accounts you have with all the airlines you have used. If for some reason you havent logged those miles, look in old emails for trip confirmation receipts. If that ends up impossible. Call the airlines you have used. Also can look at emails you sent and received during those times. Many times that will give you a good idea where and where you were somewhere.

Canadaa unique situation: importing vehicle
QUOTE (borderdriver @ Apr 16 2009, 01:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm really confused about importing vehicle.

I had to get rid of my leased vehicle. My father wants to give me his 1995 Plymouth Voyager mini van. I looked on the NHTSA - List of non conforming vehicles eligible for importation and the mini van is not on the list.

Right now, the van is under my father's name. I wanted to get a letter from the manufacturer to find out if i can import it. but they said they need the registration for the van, the owner's name (which my father is going to transfer to me if I can import it), the person importing it and etc. They said they can't tell me if this model/year of vehicle is not allowed to be imported until they receive all the other info + the VIN #.

Now, do i need to do all the work to find out if I can import the van if the NHTSA vehicle list does not have the 95 Plymouth Voyager on the list?


Why go through th hassle. Most likely it will be fine, but the car is worth less money than you would spend on the process.. A 95 minivan??? U could buy that van in the US for 400 dollars.

wow... do a search to find out the most fundamental basics of this process. Amazing that you made it this far without understanding that you will have to file i751 to remove conditions. Dont mean to sound sarcastic but, very interesting.

Philippinesengagement ring
(we were already married when we filed)

when we initially submitted our i130 and had a bit of a dramatic initial questioning session, the interviewer asked why she didnt have her ring on but i did. Very simple answer. "well we were in a hurry and i didnt put it on after i showered." she was asked "u take your ring off when you shower?." She replied "yea, what do you do with your ring and is that really any of your business?"

interviewing officer was a bit taken aback, and rightfully so. There are some legitimate questions and some that are plain stupid.

rings are symbolic. Some people make a big deal about and to others it dosent matter at all. As far as i am concerned, an engagement ring will eventually be replaced by the wedding ring,, so why care at all about the first ring when something better is coming later. In our case. our actual wedding rings were hand carved by people we were working with in Kenya. Actual street value of the rings are less than one dollar each. True value is not able to be measured as they are a symbol of our relationship.

seems like all the money some people spend on rings that are stupidly expensive, could be much better spent on life expences and costs that are assoociated with the process. Of course for some people the money is not an issue but for the rest of us...........

Philippinesquestion!!!!!!!! :(
ahh haa...

well.... sometimes change is good. Verizon is useless.. especially for those of us that frequent many different countries regularly or have family members and friends or collegues outside of the usa.

verizon is great for people that strictly use their service in the usa and have all of their life based in the usa... Boring.

for you guys,, it is just something that will have to be adapted to. ANYWAY. tmobile and att/cingular plans are better anyway.

Philippinesquestion!!!!!!!! :(
whats wrong???

Your phone will work just fine and great as long as it is on Tmobile or ATT/Cingular!!

some other problem we can help with??
funkyabMaleNorway2008-04-12 21:15:00
Philippinesquestion!!!!!!!! :(
Nokia N95 is a very versitale phone..

It will work on Tmobile and att/cingular, as long as it is unlocked. all she has to do is pop in the new chip when she arrives and you are in business.

If it is locked which i doubt, there are MANY unlock services on the internet that can do it for like 10 dollars. If you have problems let me know and ill point you in the right direction.

as you are on verizon and likely have a contract, if you like your service, get her a new phone for cheap (like 20 dollars) and be glad with that.

However, since she is used to gsm, and considering all of her friends and families use GSM and since GSM is better,,, i would consider switching to Tmobile or ATT//Cingular..

if there is a dealy time.. as soon as she gets here,, get her a temporary pre pay tmobile or att chip and use that until you can make a more informed decision.
funkyabMaleNorway2008-04-12 21:05:00
Philippinesquestion!!!!!!!! :(
terrible answers everywhere.

Phillipines uses gsm networks like most of the rest of the world.

like all other countries EXCEPT the usa, phillipines uses the 900/1800mhz frequency. So.... if you only have a dual band (900/1800) phone, NO it will not work in the usa.

The USA uses 1900mhz for its gsm, being tmobile and att. sprint, verizon use CDMA which is totally incompatible with most phones bought anywhere else in the world.

The ACCURATE answer to your question is....

if you have a "tri band phone" i.e. 800/1800/1900 it will work fine in the USA. as long as it is unlocked, meaning that you can use a sim chip from any carrier. If yours is triband but locked, have it unlocked for a few dollars at any corner GSM phone shop. Once you get to the usa you can pop in a sim chip for tmobile or att and be good to go. If your phone does not happen to be triband, you need a new phone. A few dollars on ebay should be able to sort that out.

Send your phone model number and i can give you a definitive answer about your exact equipment if you dont know the specifications.

Our agency said we have to present more than 200 pictures. Is this true?


I know i am outside this region but, i have seen many comments from Phil filers mentioning "agencies."

is this necessary or just a huge waste of money?? I have been maried previously and did the whole process without an attorney within the usa,, and recently did DCF filing..

seems to me that attorneys or representation become a waste of money. Is PHIL different? I have a colleague that is thinking of doing the process soon. is it a law that PHIL filers use external reps???? i would have told her not but this forum makes things confusing.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhy We Seperated
The answer to your question is simple. Your wife have to tell the truth. She will take an oath before the interview, where she swears to tell the truth. So... just tell the interviewer what you just wrote in this post... :)

I'm sure your wife will be just fine! Don't worry too much. It's not good for you! :no:

Good luck!

US Citizenship General DiscussionOath Ceremonies Reschedule
QUOTE (NickD @ Apr 23 2009, 08:52 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Why even post this, you know your priorities. After five years of dealing with the USCIS, our first priority was to get them off of our backs so we could live a free and normal life only dealing with the IRS, DNR, EPA, and other government agencies. If my wife's oath ceremony was scheduled in Timbuktu at 3:00 AM in the morning, we would have been there.

We have considered quitting our jobs and going on welfare to get the IRS off our backs but still have this need to buy stuff that we don't need and gives us nothing but problems.


You are so right...... I just can't believe how anyone would consider to reschedule the oath ceremony for a BABY SHOWER! I'm sorry this is just too funny.... laughing.gif
