Philippines	Updates: those who passed the interview and now in the US,	I haven't accomplished alot yet since i have been here for only a month and 5 days my husband and i have known each other for 6 months before everything got romantic between us he then visited me 4 times since 2006. We got married on Feb. 2007 and we will be 2 years next year I am so blessed to have a wonderful in-laws who accepted and and love me so much We just had our US wedding reception last sunday which is sponsored by his aunt My dad-in-law always tour me everywhere when my hubby is at work. I often see my mom-in-law and i sooo love hugging her we almost share the same interest in watching movies. We are both cry baby that is why i love her My sisters-in-law's houses are just 5 steps away from us so i see them most of the time and so there are lots of kids here too in our house caz my nephews and nieces loves to come over in our house. One of my sister-in-law taught me how to drive and my dad-in-law will buy me driving lesson book. i learned how to cook rice lol! and to bake cake i also learned how to do the laundry lol! i am getting familiar now with streets here in our neighborhood and i met some of our neighbors i feel like i am a wifey now as i prepare the stuff that my husband needs before going to work, i prepare meals, i do the laundry and clean our house and yeah i love doing those stuff caz they make me feel like i am a wifey I didn't had jet lag and i am not YET getting homesick. I think the reasons why i am not YET getting homesick is because I always call my fam in the Pinas and i always chat to my sisters and friends and mostly because I FEEL LOVED HERE BY MY HUBBY AND HIS FAM We haven't started processing any papers as we want to spend more time to each other plus we want to stay away from the immigration for the mean time hehe but yeah! we will start filing EAD next month hehe. I seldom visit VJ now (although i want to visit more often) because of the things that makes me busy here in the US. Things are WAY ALOT easier now that i am with my husband. Of course, i won't deny that i miss Pinas too but not to the point that i wanna go back there soon. I am loving my life here in the US because i am finally with my husband and we are planning to have our own family too	o0pink0o	Female	Philippines	2008-10-21 14:01:00

Philippines	$131 for visa application fee???	QUOTE (sassygirl876 @ Nov 12 2008, 08:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi!!! I'll be having my interview on Dec. 17th and like Sandman, i want to know where & when shld i need to pay my visa. Also, where & when shld i pay my medical (I plan to have it on Nov. 26th)?? Can i pay the same day when i'm in St. Luke's?? Please advise. Thanks!!! i want to know where & when shld i need to pay my visa. it is advisable to pay your visa BEFORE your interview as the guard of USEM will not allow you to enter the USEM premises without the visa payment receipt.During my time (just last AUG), you can pay your visa fee in BPI but i just checked USEM WEBSITE and what it says there now is that you can pay your visa in some branches of BDO and when i checked the packet, it still says there that you can still pay in BPI. hmmm, that is kinda confusing. anyway, here is the list of BDO branches where accepts visa application payment. just check the nearest BDO that is close to you but if you intend to pay in BPI then you may call USEM to verify if you can still pay there. Also, where & when shld i pay my medical (I plan to have it on Nov. 26th)?? Can i pay the same day when i'm in St. Luke's?? During my time, yes, you can pay your medical fee on your medical day at st. luke's. i am not sure now if it goes the same way pa rin but i guess it is still like that pa rin Good Luck to all!!	o0pink0o	Female	Philippines	2008-11-12 08:02:00

Philippines	PINOY RESTAURANTS AND DIRECTORY	QUOTE (jasman0717 @ Oct 6 2008, 09:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I just took Claudeth to Goldilocks in Cerritos on Saturday for lunch. She was in heaven. She coudn't decide what to order so she ordered several things so we had a lot of takehome I am sure we will be back there soon. For those of you in the southern California area here is the address: 11489 South Street Cerritos, CA 90703 There is also a Jollibee in the same area. We also took home a couple of orders of the chicken and rice and hamburgers. The address is 17312 Norwalk Blvd Cerritos, CA 90703 In that same little shopping area there was a really nice Filipino grocery store and then several little shops. Claudeth found a nice pair of shoes and they were very cheap. Because she is very petite it sometimes becomes very difficult to find shoes that fit her. There are a lot of Filipino stores in the Cerritos area so if you stop buy Goldilocks or the Jollibee just ask for directions to other store. waaah! my hubby and I are so missing the cheezy fries and chicken joy of Jolibbee	o0pink0o	Female	Philippines	2008-10-06 12:48:00

But, wait a sec, Inday knows how to prepare adobo, afritada and escabeche. That's a big blessing for me too.... Sweeeet!!!
