Philippines	Question about returning to the PI after marriage...	So 2 years? Wow. I wasn't aware we would have to wait so long. That kinda sucks. Thanks.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-05-21 21:51:00
Philippines	Question about returning to the PI after marriage...	Hey all, If i marry my fiancee here in USA, how soon can we return to the PI to visit her family? Is there a certain amount of time that she must remain here in the USA until she can return home to visit, and if so how long? Thanks!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-05-21 21:37:00
Philippines	its hard in the philippines	I think that most, if not all, of the 3rd world countries can blame their "hard living" on the men of that country. A country's men are responsible for the way of life in each country.....imo.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-05-10 18:24:00
Philippines	Co-Sponsor approval Survey	I'm confused. I thought that the PI did not allow the use of a co-sponsor. I have heard this from reliable sources...did they recently change and now allow them?	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-05-26 20:14:00
Philippines	Some questions...	^I don't think she needs to get all "badass" on them, but i do think the whole contract thing carrying a fine is pretty ridiculous. I guess she will just work as long as possible and then explain the situation, resign, and forget about it....but hopefully they don't want to pursue the matter, because that will just stress her out more.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-01 18:09:00
Philippines	Some questions...	Thanks alot for the responses. Good info!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-01 12:55:00
Philippines	Some questions...	I was wondering, after we receive the NOA 2, is there a certain amount of time they give you from the NOA 2 to the scheduling of the interview? I mean does the NOA 2 expire if you wait too long to schedule the medical and other interview? The reason i ask is that my finacee wants to get a job soon in Cebu while she waits for the NOA 2. She says that at the call centers where she applied they make the employees sign a 5 month contract. She says that if she breeches the employment contract that they will charge her 45,000P. So we are trying to figure out if there would be enough time to fulfill her employment contract AFTER we receive the NOA 2. I am also curious as to how serious these employment contracts actually are. Would a call center really try and sue a poor filipina for 45,000P? And could a breech of such a contract hinder the whole K1 visa process in some way? Any info is appreciated......thanks.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-01 11:17:00
Philippines	Touched?	Thanks guys. It seems that ours has not been touched at all...guess we just need to be patient.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-02 12:11:00
Philippines	Touched?	I'm a little confused as to the meaning of "touched". I received the NOA1 March 3, 2009, and i regularly check our case status online at the USCIS website. Our case, since the USCIS received it in March, has said "case received and pending". I don't see where we would be able to see if anyone touched our case. On a lot of the timelines here on VJ, i see that some people's cases are "touched" just days after they receive the NOA1. Where do they see that this has happened? Is it weird that we got the NOA1 March 3, and it hasn't changed at all, but still says "case received and pending"? Thanks.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-02 10:05:00
Philippines	Pinay Ako!	^isn't that gal that posed nude and ended up online half pinoy? Jennifer Hudson. The highschool musical girl.

Philippines	Google Talk Logs...	I figured out why i can't save anything in google talk. Apparently, if you are using google talk "beta", then it does not allow the option to save call logs. I will have to delete the beta program and reinstall just regular google talk in order to save any call logs. Just thought I'd let any of yall know about that.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-17 08:13:00
Philippines	Google Talk Logs...	^awesome, thanks!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-16 17:01:00
Philippines	Google Talk Logs...	^Yeah, YM is good for keeping track, it's just that we seem to have a better connection/longer calls with googletalk. I guess for log purposes we should atleast try and use YM several times a week. Too bad google doesnt have a call/chat history available to print.....thanks.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-16 12:21:00
Philippines	Google Talk Logs...	Me and my fiancee talk twice a day on Googletalk. I cant seem to find a way to save all these talk logs. Does anyone else use Googletalk, and know how we could save this valuable evidence for her interview? Thanks.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-16 10:39:00
Philippines	Wow, the Philippines!	QUOTE (SAVM @ Jun 18 2009, 05:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As nice as that sounds, I'm not sure there's any evidence to back up the fact that Philippina women make "better" wives than women of any other nationality. I don't think we're being honest with ourselves here. Other than the fact that the vast majority of the men here have already been married to western women and women of other nationalities, and never found happiness until they met their Filipina?

Philippines	Wow, the Philippines!	My Filipina rocks! Here's an example; I let her hear and read the lyrics to that old song, "My Filipino Baby". Afterwards i started referring to her as "my treasure and my pet". She just giggles and tells me that she IS my pet, but that i am her treasure! If i tried calling a western girl my pet, her attitude would suffocate me! My girl puts me ahead of herself, and in doing so i put her ahead of me....she's my queen, i'm her king. She knows this and glories in it. From what i've experienced, Filipinas indeed make the best wives in the world! I U SWEETY!!!

Philippines	Sorry if this has been asked a million times...	^Thanks.......BTW, is there like a flow-chart that shows the chain of events, and whats needed, that leads up to the visa? Is there a flow-chart on VJ? Theres alot of BS needed for this process and i feel like i dont know half of what i should to make this thing work smoothly!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-23 20:06:00
Philippines	Sorry if this has been asked a million times...	Hi everyone, As me and my fiancee await the NOA2, what documents/things can she be gathering up for the medical exam? What exactly will St. Lukes need from her? She is under the impression that when we get the NOA2, then she will start worrying about gathering those things for the exam. Is there anything she will need that might take a while to get? Should she start gathering that stuff up already? Thanks. BTW, i'm thinkin the NOA2 will be here in a month or 2.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-23 19:55:00
Philippines	Need some ideas...	^I wasnt aware that they offered driving lessons in Cebu. This is a great idea. I'm gonna have her check into that, thanks!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-23 09:29:00
Philippines	Need some ideas...	Her English and grammar is top-notch. No need to work on that stuff. The informatics idea is good. Maybe she can find a course she will enjoy. Thanks!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-22 22:00:00
Philippines	Need some ideas...	Hey everyone, this topic is kind of dumb, but anyway.... my fiancee and i are still awaiting the NOA2. While we await it, my finacee is rotting away from boredom. She doesn't want to get a job, because she's afraid she will have to quit it soon when the NOA2 comes, and she hates the thought of a job schedule getting in the way of our daily talks online. She is on Cebu, and reads, work's out, cleans the house, etc. to try and stay busy, but she is beginning to get very bored with the same old day-in and day-out routine there. So what do/did all the rest of you Filipinas, (that don't have jobs), do during the day, as you await your NOA2? Give us some ideas please! Thanks!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-22 21:16:00
Philippines	My visa journey	Wow, thanks for your info! This helps us to understand it alot better!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-25 11:15:00
Philippines	Hitting and Swearing	Sounds like she's got some deep-rooted issues bro. Not a nationality/cultural thing, but a mental one. Good luck. BTW, if she goes off on you again, just beat her down with a pillow. My cousin does that to his crazy woman to keep her in line. He knocks her around the room until she calms down, and it doesnt leave bruises!	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-06-18 12:59:00

I didn't go looking for a relationship, let alone one from the Philippines. But true love comes when you least expect it. This image sums up how I feel... ^all those apparent "superficial" things listed in the above pic are interegal parts of why you love her. I find it hard to believe that you would post the same pic, with the same message, but with an image of a 300 lb, red-headed woman with 3 dbl. chins, and coke-bottle glasses.

Sheesh...I'd love to hear the other side of the story from the ex's as I'm sure you weren't such an angel yourself. Whatever happened to personal responsibility...or is that only convenient when it comes to not placing any blame on yourself? A note to why this is a topic for those who aren't Filipino...it's a public forum. I'm sure if there was a conversation in another regional thread about how awful Filipina women are you would go in and defend yourselves all the same. Lol, yeah, i guess i need to take a look at myself and be honest, like how i have custody of both my kids now because my ex went to jail for beating up her new husband forcing my kids and him to lock themselves in their bedroom as she beat holes through the door while she screamed that she was gonna stab him in the heart. You dont know ###### about me. The TS asked why we prefer Filipinas. I prefer them because AS A WHOLE, ALL the American women i have dated, as well as those friends have dated/married don't hold a candle to the Filipinas. Sorry if it pisses you off, it's not whining, it's observations and experiences that i am typing on a forum....deal with it.

Philippines	JUST CURIOUS	I have not met ONE American woman who i felt was worth marrying, and i have met lot's. Untrustworthy, spoiled, uncaring, irreverent, selfish, etc. The feminist movement ruined the American woman IMO. They don't glory in their womanhood, in what it means to be a REAL woman like the average Filipina does. They are too busy trying to rule over their husbands. BUT, the men here are not the same either. For instance, the kind of young men who built hoover dam, fought WWII, led by example, are all but gone. They have been replaced by scared, lazy, video game playing punks. Even the men who actually work are so full of fear its pathetic. Take away their cell phone, their tivo, or watch them get a flat tire on a highway and they turn into women. This country is seriously screwed. Atheism/homosexuality/abortion/drugs/porn/greed and feminism have completely wrecked us. The Filipina is a throwback to what an American woman used to be, and i praise God that i found one that is truely my soulmate.	rockhouse	Male	Philippines	2009-01-17 17:47:00

Thats what I am wondering No offense meant to all american ladies here no offense taken by u but these kind of threads usually are taken to start bashing american woman by the american men. they usually blame american woman for everything. they dont tell that the reason they are the way they are is because american men have differnt standards when it comes to an american woman. what a filipeno woman gets away with...an american woman cant and then the bashing starts. such as if an american woman wants to help her family financially the man tells her to tell her family to get off their lazy butts and get a job...if a filipeno wants to send money to their family they are saints for it and praised. the american man wont tell u that part of the story. if the american woman wants to stay home and raise her kids she is know as a free loader, but if a filipeno woman dont work and stays at home with the kids...oh how sweet she is to want to stay at home with her kids and husband. just telling u...we american woman are not as bad as these men say but it is them who has the double standards. im not here to bash the men here but just to set the record straight.

Hey all, what happens if a filipina gets her visa through a K1, but then during that 6 month time-frame her and her USA beneficiary get married in the Philippines?
