Philippines	I HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE CONSUL'S DECISION WAS.. I JUST HAD MY INTERVIEW TODAY. I GOT HUMILIATED...,	QUOTE (Galt's gallstones @ Dec 21 2009, 01:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After giving it some thought, do you now have any regrets with how you answered the CO in the interview? It might be worth spending some of your time right now to think of how you could have handled the situation better so that in future, you'll have a more positive outcome. Steve your making her out that is is at fault. Sounds like this guy is a bitter old man. I think she did find and I do not think in any other way. Even she did some things differnt I think it would be the same result. I think he is a bitter person and very rude and has very bad costomer skills. I can tell the way she describe him he was sour face right from the begining. Take care	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2009-12-21 02:01:00
Philippines	Snowing in Texas	It is not Rare that is snows in Dallas.. I lived in Dallas from 2000 to 2003.. It snowed there every year I was there. one time it snowed for over 24 hrs without stopping. The bad part of that is that it will turn to Ice. SO I am not excited about that.	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2009-12-03 17:57:00

Philippines	My boyfriend is coming to Manila	Are you aware of just how difficult it is for a pretty young female from the Philippines to get a Visitors Visa? You'll have to demonstrate that you have very strong reasons to return to the Philippines such as a very good job, owning land & businesses etc. Having a USC boyfriend/fiancé will actually work against you as it is a compelling reason for you to overstay or try to marry him and adjust status without returning to the Philippines. You'd be better of just applying for the K-1 after he returns to the US. Yes that is 100% true. Try to get the k-1 route. If he wants to come back maybe you can marry there. but if you go K-1 who knows, maybe god be on your side and you will have it by winter. Good luck Yogi	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2010-03-29 02:42:00

Philippines	Delta flight issue	Delta did refund 100% of the purchase price plus the change ticket fee but it required alot of effort on my part. Delta said that I checked the box agreeing to this but I dont remember it. She just landed in Honolulu leaving in another hour or so for Houston. I'll see her in 13 more hours. I am happy things worked out for you. Today you should have your lady with you. It was a long trip she will be tired. I just want to tell you I hate Delta and I will not fly them anymore. Last time i was on Delta, my seat belt broke I just tugged it and the flight attendent was a snotty old maid who thought she could fix it. Mind you I have 10 years of Aircraft maintenance exp. and I told her, it needed to be replace. I am happy for you Yogi	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2011-01-30 10:23:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Notice of intent to deny	QUOTE (ronaldo @ Dec 27 2009, 08:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I received NOID saying that: ....under the provisions of section 101(a)(15)(K)....the petition....shall be approved only after satisfactory evidence is submitted by the petitioner to establish that the parties have previously met in person within 2 years before the date of filing the petition.... I met my fiance September 1 2007. I applied for 1-129F September 15 2009. So it's been 2 years and 14 days. I followed step by step all the process for K1 Visa. I submitted the following for evidence of meeting each other: *copy of 1 of the airline ticket leaving Lebanon. *copy of translated passport entering and leaving Lebanon. We never took a picture of me and her together because I didn't know I needed it. But I had 2 pictures from a party were me and her were present at that time: The first picture was me and her cousins. The second picture was her and the same cousins. Questions: Do you think I got the NOID because it's been just over 2 years that I met her or I didn't have a solid proof of me seeing her? Yeap The law states within 2 years. Not 2 yrs and 3 days or 14 days.. Within.. SO better plan a trip back and have a visit	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2009-12-27 21:43:00

I was feeling totally drained about the tires and now I'm not tired at all. Jenn, you should be hearing something shortly. I must say Charleston is really on top of things.

Middle East and North Africa	Verizon Fios tv - arabic station	QUOTE (doodlebug @ Nov 3 2007, 02:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It looks awesome! Telephone/internet and tv bundled at the basic price is $99.99/month with the first month free. http://www22.verizon...t/consumerfios/ you can input your zip to see if you're eligible. Beyond being able to bundle, and to get the arabic station and fox soccer without having to use a satellite, they also have a dvr box that lets you watch your programmed stations on any of the tv's that you have hooked up AND you can load your videos from your computer and watch them on your tv. (no i don't work for verizon. lol.) I'm just wondering if the added price of the arabic station is worth it. I guess if nothing else if he feels homesick he can flick it on. I tried to look up my address and it said it is not aviable in my area..

Middle East and North Africa	My Husband's Father was Deported Yesterday	QUOTE (allousa @ Jul 12 2008, 07:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (?JP? @ Jul 11 2008, 04:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can't seem to get over this. I can't even imagine the pain or how difficult it was for him to tell his father he had to spend the night in jail. I mean that alone in itself brought tears to my eyes. JP I swear, for the rest of my life, this is something I will never ever forget having to watch. My husband is very prideful and I've only seen him cry once before in the whole 8 years that we've been together. It was horrifying. And you know what, the whole time that he was telling his father this, his father just nodded his head and never showed emotion. He was strong and kept his pride. And I know that he did that for us...that's just the kind of man that he is. Your Father in Law is a Very Classy person. That is how your husband got his pride from his proud father. I hope someday I will have the honor of meeting your Father in law. Just so you know I lost touch but I have a couple friends also from Morocco.

What a terrible, sad story! I am confused though - is it actually CUSTOMS agents who boarded the plane and etc. or was it immigration agents? I always thought customs got involved second - only after the person had cleared immigration - at the point where his parent's would have been recovering their bags. I really don't understand how or why customs agents would be involved the moment the plane landed. Unless maybe they suspected them of smuggling or possessing something illegal. That's the part of the story that I really can't get my head around (not that I can comprehend their behavior in most of it). They were actually Homeland Security officers, all of them. There were never any officers labeled from another department or section. Since we don't know what they denied him entry for and none of us were ever told...I'm at a loss as much as you! Hi Allousa, how is your family holding out now? Is your husband still mad? I can tell you I am in no way involved is this horror story and I am still upset at the way he was treated. I hope they get fired, all of them. I would not pitty them one bit. Please keep us updated. Your FIL is very classy person. I wonder why they denied him but let your MIL go? that is so wrong.

Middle East and North Africa	Suspended from Work	QUOTE (polarbear @ Oct 14 2008, 08:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So I got sent home on the spot yesterday morning pending investigation and my boss is absolutely side-swiped - he had no idea this was coming. With the budget cuts and losses of revenue lately, all of the departments have been reviewing costs and finding spending that can be cut back. The IT department reported me for excessive personal use of telephone. I have no idea what they consider excessive, and I'm fully aware that some companies say it's forbiden, but I didn't think I was doing it that much. My husband called everyday, but that was for help on little things and never more than a minute or two. I occasionally call my mom or a friend for a minute, but its nothing that anyone ever noticed. I did make a few doctor's appointments or a few emergency calls for my hubby from that phone but I really didn't think it was that bad. I'm going in this afternoon to meet with HR and my boss, but I'm not very optimistic. I'm actually kinda wondering if the chefs or cooks were using my telephone at night bc I know for sure they were using the desk (it's a shared office with about 15 people, 3 computers, and it never closes ) but I'm certain I did contribute at least a little. I've decided if I'm not fired on the spot, I will hand in my two weeks notice anyway. My personal life has been getting the better of me for awhile and it seems like every week there is a crisis or something I have to deal with and I will be the first one to admit it is affecting my work. My reviews have all been good, I was put into the management training program, and really did try to put my job first - my chef is shocked by the posibility of me getting fired. But despite all of this, I am being pulled in too many directions and its taken a toll on me and is effecting my health. I have to get my sh!t pulled together and take care of myself before I loose my health completely, my 4.0 in school, and let my husbands company go down the drain in paperwork not done. This choice is just so scarry with the current economic situation. I'm also scared about loosing my health insurance. I know that if I leave with notice I have the option of paying to extended the coverage for another 6 months, but I don't know if I will have that option if I am fired. What happens to the 2 weeks vacation I never got to use? Will that get paid out if I'm fired? I friggin hate not knowing and the wait until this afternoon is killing me..... I think I should just go write my resignation letter and have it ready to take with me even if you were fired, they have to offer you COBRA. It is a federal law. So you will still get health insurance. It has to be offed to you. they should pay your 2 weeks vacations and what ever. Dont worry too much. Yogi	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2008-10-14 17:09:00
Middle East and North Africa	Magic Jack	QUOTE (Melly 2 @ May 20 2009, 05:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tried to send one to Cairo in the mail and the customs people confiscated it. They told my husband they were mailing it back to the person who sent it, but I never got it back. 40 bucks down the drain. I did bring one with me when I moved here so that's fine, as I left one for family back in the states. I know some people had no trouble mailing the magic jack here, so who knows, maybe you'll be able to do so. Something else to consider is that at times, the sound and connection aren't that great. I get a lot of static or the line cutting in and out. Not always, but when it happens you really can't have a conversation. yeah right, the told him they sent it back, but I bet you they kept it. I would just bring one with me if I went there. My wife is going back to the Philippines, I may get one so she can call me when she gets there, and when she leaves give it to her sister so she can call her for free. take care	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2009-07-05 17:30:00

Middle East and North Africa	Losing friends because of marriage choice	QUOTE (Darnell @ Dec 27 2009, 09:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is 'right' and there is 'policy'.

It will inculde if you live next to someone that is from say Iraq, but you do not know him or are not friends but you have to list him care you are in presence of a non usc. I do not think they mean you have to sevare ties with someone that is a international couple.	yogib37	Male	Philippines	2009-12-27 21:40:00
