I am making a return trip to The Philippines (Cagayan De Oro) this October and I need some advice please. My last trip was last year in October and I rented a vehicle to get around in and so many here advised me not to do this because of the treacherous driving conditions there and I was very glad I took the advice. Man, they are crazy over there. I have never seen anything like it. Its a free for all where road rules are thrown out the window and a total disregard for vehicle safety. Needless to say, I hired a taxi driver that is part of the not so immediate family and he was able to get us where we needed to go for the short time I was there.

I will be going this time for two weeks instead of just one and need some ideas on how to get around. This time will be a lot different as while I was there for my first trip, I ended up becoming a father and will have a 3 month old baby in tow as well as a 4 year old. I thought of renting a vehicle this time as it will be my second trip and I am aware of the driving conditions there. Who ever gets to the intersection first wins and gets to go first. If many of you think this is still not a good idea, then could you enlighten me on modes of transportation that I could use that will not break my wallet. I was thinking that I could hire a driver for the two weeks I am there but not sure how to go about doing that. I also thought about doing the Grab thing but not sure how that would work.

So please help me out and let me know what the best way would be for me to get around with my newly formed family.

Thank you all so much.

Hi everyone,

i am currently adjusting my status and I need to translate some documents (birth certificate and criminal record) from French to English. Do you guys have any recommendations of certified translators?
Thank you

My spouse and I were married for two years and a few days when we arrived at POE w/ approved visa page in passport. POE officer said the visa was going to be a CR1 and after a weak protest from myself that my wife and I were married longer than two years, the officer simply said that the visa said it was CR1 so she was stamping CR1. It was a long flight and I didn't want to add to my wife's anxiety by arguing with someone who held the keys to the kingdom.

Long story short, can I contact USCIS somehow to get the future greencard, which hasn't been mailed yet, to be under the IR1 category (or checked that it is in fact not a CR1) or do I have to wait for what is most likely an incorrect 2 year conditional greencard before submitting a N-90 form online, doing a biometrics, paying postage, waiting more, etc?

How long is the wait time from DQ until the interview is scheduled in Indonesia? Considering transferring the case from Cairo Embassy there.

Hello everyone,

I have a question. My spouse and I were living together since 2022 he arrived with K1 visa. We went for interview and got approved for 2yra now its time to apply for i751.. My only concern is last year june he got a job in another state. We have alot of bills, pictures and we had our big celebration of our vows with family and friends in January. I am about to mail the paper work in and I know i have to add our DL, this is a case where out addresses are not the same, what should I do? I have copies of the old DL with our addresses, should I include that and his current one showing that he iust changed his address this year or since we have enough evidence I shouldnt bother about it? We have car insurace, title, life insurance, health insurance from his work, pictures, bills, affidavit from friends

Thanks in advance
