Thaaank you Gary! Will update everyone of you later! ;)) 12 hours more hahaha! 

Great! So I'll wake up to good news tomorrow :) (or the confirmation of... :P).

People keep saying they are going to miss you, so I just thought I would let you know you are not allowed to disappear 😊 We'll want to share the rest of the journey with you...

I'm starting to think the NVC stage can be stressing too, since it seems they are being quite slow lately. So we'll be still around to share the anxiety :)

Well, I'm lazy, and I know FB downsizes photos you upload, so just find a pic on ur FB page and save it back to your desktop and use it...

As far as photo editing software, well, I couldn't tell you what or how.

Hello..   

Me  again :P

Question for those moving to thee  US with small kids.

I have a letter of Concent for  kids traveling without one of there parents  from the dutch embassy printed out and filled in by the kids  dad.

Signed by him and everything..

Now some tell me  thats  not  enough?  What else  has to be  done  with  the  letter??? taken to police  or  something?

 

Another question.. im trying to add up the  costs..   

Does anyone  know what the  AOS cost are for  kids?  Because i saw i have to  apply  separately for  each kid?  They cant be on my  AOS  once in the  US?

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Also March whiner here. Marrying in the US means not having your entire clan and besties in your wedding..which is really sad

But Of course i want my parents to be there. Im their eldest and attending my wedding is a big thing for all of us.My fiance will shoulder  all the expenses for their trip. My parents have business here in Philippines and some properties. Do you think they'll stand a chance in getting a tourist visa? Please enlighten me with your insight. And if you have the same experience please do share. I would really appreciate it. Thank you😊

If they've got strong ties (appearantly they do) to home, and if they never were in trouble with anything regarding a visa and have no criminal record: Why not! Try! :) 
Good luck for everything! May you have a wonderful wedding!

Maybe you sneak over to the Tourist Visa section as well. I bet there's plenty of pro-visa-knowers from the Philippines, who can help you with everything! :)

I just went into MS picture viewer. There you can edit it by compressing and resizing it.

I just used Paint to open a photo I like, saved it as a NEW file, and shrank it down 33 or 50% at a time until the file's size (mouse hover over file or right click and select properties to see) are within acceptable parameters for the website.
