We're getting closer to the interview date (Feb 8), and Jovy is getting her plane ticket to go along with her brother to Manila next week. She was able to get all of her necessary documents in Davao about 2 weeks ago, and finally received my package with I-134 and other supporting documents from LBC on Monday. We weren't able to work out an early medical due to late packet 4 and many things still to do at that time, but are now confident that there won't be any reason she can't do it on the scheduled date.
When we get back here after the visa, she will initially be staying home alone while i am at work every day. My neighborhood is quiet and its not too easy getting to know the people here. I'll be teaching her to use the computer, because she never really got any opportunity for that. After she gets more comfortable in the new surroundings, I hope she's going to become interested in learning to drive, and actually I kept my Honda Accord when i just got my new car, just so she'd have to stare at it (wondering why she wants to stay home instead of driving lol).
Anyway, for starters, we both like the idea if she can start some online education, improving her english skills and trying to get some other general courses as well. We hope that way later she can have opportunity for some college studies here, in any courses that interest her. I wondered if anyone knows of a good online program of study for someone new to the US, especially anyone from the Philippines who found something useful here. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Good luck to everyone on your journeys, maybe someday we can join you all for a big party.
