Anyone experiencing this?

Thanks for the info RK!

Addressing your suggestions line by line...

2. I wondered about this. I was told that the phone number I listed as my fiancee's contact number on the G-325A form shouldn't be changed. Anyone care to enlighten me on this...is changing the contact number a headache for the visa process? ...

3&4. ....8. Patience is definitely being observed now...no choice in the matter...not to mention my calling card costs have gone way down.

Thanks again for the reply...here's to hoping things get better soon.

You are welcome. I and Inday are relatively new to the visa journey site and to the visa journey road. Currently just now in the process of assembling all for the I-129F for K-1 visa app. So, take my reply re: G-325A with a grain of salt. My personal thinking is that, yes, I agree it is important to **not** change phone number on G-325A. Therefore, what Inday and I did with phone was this. She just purchased a second SIMM card. The new SIMM card worked better than the other for her and my personal calls. She uses one SIMM card for more business/daily types of things and the other for call of a personal nature. This requires switching out the SIMMS (if have one phone) or finding a second fairly expensive phone (easier). Another person here mentioned YM (Yahoo messenger). Inday and I have also used this fairly successfully. And, yes, bright side is lower phone costs :-). Continuing good luck on your relationship and your own "visa journey!"

P.S. Another item: sometimes Inday would physically move a meter or two during phone call and reception would get better also. Sometimes.

Communication between the U.S. and the Philippines was always spotty for Chinook and me in 2008 and early 2009.

Yahoo Messenger cam2cam: lots of dropped calls.

Skype cam2cam: better than Yahoo Messenger, but still many dropped calls.

Chinook's Touch Mobile cell phone: difficulty in connecting, poor reception and lots of dropped calls.

Chinook's Smart cell phone: better luck in connecting, better reception, and fewer dropped calls.

Email: fairly reliable.
