PhilippinesThis flood shows the differences between poor filipinos and poor americans
Yes, I agree that many Americans are too dependent on the government. Filipinos are self reliant. They don't wait for help from the government. They take charge of their life and get it done! If there is government or foreign aid it is better but not expected. They have full trust in God and themselves.

Philippinesxoom coupon

I used this coupon code yesterday morning, I sent money to my personal bank account in the Phils, to my friends, and to the Light of Jesus Community direct deposit to their account for the help of the victims of the typhoon Ondoy. I doesn't matter where you send the money if it is for personal or for the help of the victims there. As long as you use this coupon code.

Xoom set up this code for those who want to donate to the relief effort. I don't think the intention was to give everyone a free transfer.

hi,
If you give the email add of your recipient and your email add, once you have sent the money you can immediately receive xoom receipt. when it is ready to pick up xoom will send you email that is ready for pick up. once it is completed there's email from xoom that transaction is complete. or if it is a direct deposit to a bank account the transaction - has been completed and has been successfully deposited into the account you specified.

PhilippinesXOOM COUPON CODE
We didn't have any problems using xoom. We have used this money transfer service often for many years now ( 5 yrs.) for direct deposit into the bank account, pick up or delivery services. Before we experienced delays but now it is faster like Western Union or Money Gram.

Is xoom the same as western union when it comes to quality service? anyone had problem using it? I use western union and every trasaction is excellent. I'm thinking of trying xoom to save money but I'm afraid my family in PI may not get the money right away

does the code work if you're not sending money to a bank account. we always send money & they just pick it up at a store. & is there a delay in the avalibility of the money for pick up?

Philippinesco sponsorship is not ok
QUOTE (changkaichick @ Dec 18 2009, 06:14 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
i had my interview this morning and
it was a nightmare. my fiance is currently working in a food place
and asked his sister to co sponsor this k1 visa.
i thought everything will be alright until the
co asked about his income. i told the co that i will work when
i get there. and he told me that i wll become a public charge
because my fiance cannot support me. and he asked me also
if my fiance is supporting me or maybe he mean if my fiance is sending me money.
i asked him if its always a big deal that a guy send money to his girl. the co told me that it would be
a plus factor because that means that he can support me no matter
what. so i told him that if a guy can not send money to his girl
would that be a visa denial?. he never answered that question. he
just told me that they are just preventing those immigrant to come
to the us as public charge. i asked him also if his sisters income would be
enough. and he told me that my fiance was the one who petitioned me over
so my fiance should be the one who take responsibility for me. he told me
if i can go back to present a good income from my fiance maybe
they will think about it. so after the interview i called my fiance
and i was crying. though the co didnt tell me if im approve or denied but he asked me
to present his latest payslip and my fiance should know from the
start what is the poverty line for applying the visa. i feel so hopeless
when my fiance told me that he cant find a decent job as of now.
i really dont know what to do. should i just wait that something will
happen miraculously? is it really a plus factor that guy send money
to his girlfriend? is it fair that they did something like that? i felt
the co underestimate my fiance. and also i got mad to think that
if the guy is much older and the girl is too young they wouldnt care
how young the girl is as long as the guy can support her so they will approve
the petition and no question. and because me and my fiance are both young.
it is not really fair. i feel sad now. pls help me to cheer up. sad.gif(


so you weren't denied nor approved? what did you receive then? Is your case put in Administrative Review or processing as well?

Thanks for sharing your story. I am not actually in the position to brighten up your day coz I got a horrible one seriously. But, that sense about the financial capacity .. I guess it is not just the ONLY factor of being approved or denied. However,it's a major factor included in their standards i guess. But come to think of it, there's a good point there because it's true .. how can your fiance support you if he doesnt have a stable finances? Yes, you will work hard when u get there.. But of course your fiance needs to support you all the way when u get there. First, there's no guarantee you can get the job there that fast. What are your means then not to be a public charge? his sister? Well.. even if his sis is really kind.. CO's will not tolerate that. So, obviously the CO didnt react because he wants you to think more why it's not possible for him to say yes or no. Maybe he was thinking it's self explanatory. But who knows.. your fiance might get a great job and he can finally support you already.

ME.. I had a horrible interview today people.. The docs were all good they didnt really have further questions about it. The consul was really nasty to me and insisted that I wasnt telling the truth where in fact all the things I said were all TRUE. God, I felt like dying now and my dreams are all shattered leaving me so clueless. They said, my case needs further review. And I don't know if i'm denied or approved or if i'll have another interview. I just don't have any ideas what will happen next in this kind of thing.

Someone pls enlighten me. And how long will it take them to send me their decision. I am very nervous now. Im feeling like i can never be with my love one. I just find myself in pain and was feeling dreadful about the whole thing. This is an early horrible Xmas gift.
