Hi there! I'm sooo glad you posted this topic to help out future girls coming to the US. I experienced the same! I regretted so much not to have brought plenty of clothes... The first thing I purchased with my money was a motorcycle jacket that was over $200, it was hard to find the right one for instance, and in Peru, my country, that money would have given me a lot of clothing. Congratulations on your wedding, hope you have a happy life =) :luv:

I have to say that I was very lucky, I brought ALL my clothes. Every time my hubby went to visit me to Peru he brought some of my clothes and because he went to pick me up (and for the interview) he helped me bringing everything!!! Most of my clothes are MADE IN PERU and the last time I went I bought SO much clothes withe me.

hello - just drop by to say we have the same wedding date :) best wishes to you and your hubby. my husband and I will be celebrating our first year anniversary this year and hopefully nasa US na ako at that time :) God Bless.

one thing I would suggest... :) bring plenty clothes as you can ...

I have regrets now why I did not just pay for excess baggage.... :(

We went to mall yesterday to buy some interview clothes for me.. it's really hard to find sizes that will really fits me, coz I'm skinny..

So we ended at LOFT... and it was made in PHilippines.. ahah im proud though coz it's famous here... it's really nice clothes... BUT OMG.. it's so expensive here... the slacks is $129 :( then the coats majority $79 and the inside blouse $36..

In PI, I'm fan of branded clothes too but not as expensive like this,,, :( hayz if I only buy formal clothes in MAnila it will not cost me $200 for 1 pair..

I arrived here May 9, we applied for SSN yesterday.. but my name was not in the system yet, but they encoded my docs already, and they will just mail my ssn card when they will see my name in the system.. everything is so easy here in states..:)

P.S we're married already :) in the courthouse... but this is for legal only, so that I can adjust my status right away, get ssn with my married name, cellphone and other bills in my married name, .. BUT our wedding ceremony, reception etc will be on july 12 pa...

Congratulations...

We're the same. I always had a problem looking for my size here but eventually you'll be able to find your size easily later on, just keep looking. Try BEBE, it's my favorite store to shop to because I can find my size... Some of there clothes are MADE IN USA.. They're a lil bit pricey but it's worth every penny.

God Bless You Both
