    six7one got a reaction from Tahoma in AOS Questions : After marriage   
    Use her married name on everything unless it specifically asks for maiden name. The EAD, AP, and eventually GC will be in the names specified on these forms.

    You don't need it to get married in the US. That's correct. However, the CFO often asks for these documents in order to proceed with the Seminar and/or to get the CFO Sticker to leave the country. It's not a requirement for the K1 Visa process.

    St. Luke's Extension Clinic (SLEC) will accept outside certifications as a matter of record. It will still be at their discrection to accept the treatment that was prescribed outside as a transfer into their own Directly Observed Treatment (DOT). My wife's treatment outside SLEC was accepted and she transferred in and credited the months she had taken the medication. I cannot say with certainty if the entire 6 months will be credited for your fiancee. As for a sputum test, if the chest xray shows something then the sputum test is a matter of their procedure. No way around that.
    The only Panel Physicians approved for medical exams in the Philippines is SLEC. An exam or parts of the exam (ie sputm, cxr) at any other clinic will not be accepted. It has to be done at SLEC at the time of the entire Medical Exam.

    Similar to your K1 interview, bring supporting documents of your relationship and marriage. They want to see documents supporting your AOS package. Joint accounts, bills, wedding photos, etc. It's pretty easy, so just relax and answer truthfully and calmly. Good Luck!

    You can't be faulted for following the current instructions. To my knowledge here on VJ, yours will be the first from Guam using the new I-129F. Just an idea but if you can, use a personal check and verify your checking account after getting the I-797C to see if/when the check clears. This way you'll have a heads up if it was payable to the correct party. Be sure to submit a G-1145 to get the 797 Notice of Action.

    POE is Guam for sure. 1.5 hours is enough time to clear US Immigrations. Many other folks have done so as their POE.
    You will not go to Guam Customs (check your bags all the way to your final destination, not Guam). After US Immigrations, you will head through the transit doors and clear TSA screening which is on the same level, then head to your gate. Do not go downstairs to Guam Customs.
    Upon arrival in Honolulu all passengers from Guam will be required clear their baggage with Customs in Hawaii, then re-check-in their bags to their final destinations.

    My step-daughter is 4. The Screener did not ask her any questions. However, the Consulate Officer did ask her a couple of simple questions (name and age). For a 12 year old, they may ask more.

    I know exactly what you are feeling. We went through the same thing regarding the tests, and more (DOT). In the end all will be well. If negative, then that's great news. IF something is found, then she will be treated and that's great news too. You've got to see it that way, I sure had to come to terms with it. Good Luck.

    six7one got a reaction from marklovetina in First Trip to Fiancee's Province   
    I just wanted to share my experience with you all. I just returned home from a week long trip to the PI. My Fiancee met me in Manila and we then journeyed 9 hours from Manila to her Province in Bicol by bus. Spent 4 days there meeting her parents and family, sought their blessings, bonded with relatives, and just to take in the experience of her home. Being outside of Metro Manila was also a change of pace I really enjoyed. Great trip. Wonderful family as I expected, Fantastic food, and memories for a lifetime.
    Thanks for all the advice I got here on VJ prior to my trip. The Pasalubong ideas were great, even though the extra suitcase fee cost me more than some of the gifts I brought. Damn airline merger (talking about the largest airline in the world based in Chicago). Anyway, here's what I learned that might help you...

    Long bus rides generally don't make many stops for CR
    Bring 5 Peso coins with you for the use of CRs at the Sari Saris you do stop for
    Towns in the Provinces are generally cash only with few ATMs (if any)
    Chocolates are always appreciated. Hard candies for kids
    Little to no water pressure can be expected. Shower with a pail is often the means or pumping your own water
    Do not refuse food offered and never show you don't like what you've just tried
    Trikes are small! At 5'10" I could barely fit in the side car
    Power/Water outages are not uncommon
    Have a night out or two with Titas and Titos and foot the bills

    Most of all...

    Be courteous and respectful
    Don't act like the foreigner who's there to own the town
    Talk and plan things through with your Fiancee to see if your intended actions are acceptable
    Don't go around flaunting you have money. It's disrespectful and could probably get you into trouble quick

    For those of you VJers who have not visited their Fiance(e)'s province/home town, you are missing out on the opportunity for the family to meet you and get to know you. Most especially it gives them an opportunity to ask questions to you and for them to understand the whole K1/K2 Visa process. I had the impression that my fiancee's family thought she would never return home to the Philippines (which I dispelled). Going there was a win win situation and it turned out to be fantastic. I really want to go back again soon. That's how much I enjoyed it.
