Maybe you need that assurance that she would never leave you because she came from a poor place? Off-Topic2.gif


My wife didn't come from a "poor" place.

Her family is very well educated, Her house in PI is bigger than most houses in USA, it is 3 stories with like 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Her immediate family is Lawyers, Doctors, CPA's, they own numerous real estate in Davao area and get a healthy rental income from these.

I don't consider her place poor, Heck I would trade my house for her family house in PI in heartbeat.

They have 3 helpers that live there and take care of all the househould chores..............



Apparently she is not that educated....she married you didnt she?


I am sorry I can't stop myself from laughing rofl.gif

Philippineshelp urgent about medical schedule
Yup, you don't need to have an appointment in having your medical done at SLEC. Just disregad that medical appointment date that you got as you can have it done anytime you want as long as it is before your interview date.

Just a reminder, don't forget to bring your appointment schedule that was sent to your email OR your NOA2, passport, medical fee and visa pics. Good Luck and have a safe trip. star_smile.gif

Korek ka dyan ARMYWIFE! Pag nakita mo na yung CO and he smiled agad sayo, mababawasan ang kaba mo. Just answer what is asked and be concise, don't elaborate much. Less talk, less mistakes nga.

Advice ko lang din sayo RAEKA, arrive there at 6:30am na lang para ndi matagal pagaantay mo dun sa waiting area at ang daming tao don. Make sure dry ang finger pads mo before the finger scanning, kaya wag ka na maglotion sa kamay dat day or wag ka muna humawak ng liquid when u arrive there kse bka paulitulit ka ifinger scan don at matagalan ka pa. Be alert inside kse random yung numbers na nagfflash sa board at nkakakaba yung flash tone nung board az in... Basta wag mo ipahalata na kabado ka, smile lang agad and greet them muna when u showed up sa window and memorize all the important dates kse more on yun ang tanong kahit sa iba na naririnig ko don. If super kilala mo naman ang personal history ng hubby mo at ang love story nyo, u got nothing much to worry sa itatanong nila. I hope that would help u... smile.gif


oo tama yun. 6:30 ka na lng dumating dun. ganun din ginawa ko. presence of mind lang ang pagsagot sa CO at pre-screener. kahit hindi sayo nakatingin ang Co eh smile ka pa rin lol! kahit nakasimangot eh smile ka pa rin lol! ako nmn hindi mashado kinabahan pero mejo gininaw lng nmn ako ng unti dun sa loob ng USEM hehe. Good Luck! Ang isipin mo na lang is kung kaya ng iba ay kaya mo rin ;)

thanks guys for the replies. i appreciate it. till now i dont know what to wearm actually i had the baby with me and shes a breastfeed by me. so i need to find a top that easy for her to suck my milk.



Wag ka mag-heels kc may bata ka ksama..mag-doll shoes kna lng o kya tennis shoes...
Suot ka ng fitted blouse or 3/4 blouse na may zipper sa harap pra mas easy mo lng mapa-breastfeed si baby mo..buksan mo na lng yung zipper pag ibi-breastfeed mo na sya.

You don't have to wear semi-formal or formal doon sa POE eventhough you will be interviewd by the immigration officer. When I arrived, it was fall season, I was wearing denim pants, blouse, denim jacket and tennis shoes. Ingat sa byahe! star_smile.gif

PhilippinesCFO Questions
QUOTE (AvoidDaNoid @ May 10 2009, 12:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My finance got her K-1 Visa and is going to the CFO on Monday. Is there anything that I should know that may be tricky...like trick questions or requirements. For example. I hear they ask for a landline number in the Philippines. None of her family has one (just cells) she has a friend taht has a landline. Can she put that down?

Any advice on what to bring or any tough questions that a fiance may not know (like my parents. phone number)?

Do they allow cell phones inside?

Many thanks



When I went to CFO, they asked my mom-in-law's maiden name. Be sure that she knows hers. In regards with the phone numbers, she can put her friend's or relative's numbers.

birth certificate is not enough identification for her to claim the money that you will send in the bank.

she needs to have at least 2 primary ID OR 3 secondary ID but having birth cert will let her be able to get more ID's like NBI clearance and Postal ID.

good luck smile.gif


I use Xoom in sending money and they only ask my sister for 1 primary ID plus the secret word. good.gif



ohmy.gif ur sis is lucky then ,.,we only tried xoom once caz we heard its much cheaper than western union (which what we always use). i only have my passport (which i always use in getting money in WU) wen i went to pick up my money in the bank but then they wanted another ID ,.,they didn't even accepted the ATM i had blink.gif so i don't have any choice but to go back home and get my SSS ID (another thing is that my husband didn't provide a secret question). headbonk.gif

Can someone explain the need to arrive any more than about half an hour before your appointment? What's the advantage of waiting longer?? wacko.gif


Nothing. All applicants would be led to the waiting area unless if the time schedule is called. When your time is called, that's the time all the applicants would go in line. It is how fast you are to go to the line that will give you the advantage.


good.gif I agree. It will just be a waste of time if you'll be there 4:00AM and you'll get in line late. My appointment was 7AM, I was there 6:30AM and I got out of the USEM 9:30AM. Good Luck on your interview! star_smile.gif

thanks for that pRETTY_aNGEL! im looking forward that i will get my appointment letter then this week or early next week(im crossing my fingers!)..

I would like to add, are there some beneficiaries here who themselves set their own interview schedule(not their SO who called USEM to set interview sched)? just an inquiry and a survery..thanks a lot!


I am the one who scheduled my interview date. You need to call the Call Center in getting a schedule and NOT in USEM. But I suggest calling USEM first before calling the call center as USEM will tell you if you are already legible to get an interview date. It is expensive to call at the call center, i think it cost Php50 per min (I am not sure about the exact price).
