People! In filling out the i485, what family name did you guys use? Since we all are newlyweds, did you use your husband's lastname or did you stick to your maiden name? Does it matter? How did you fill it out? Help! Thanks in advance you guys, god bless you all!

Wow! You guys! Thank you verymuch! You gave us peace of mind

Mine was Detroit and it took about 5 minutes and was super easy!

hey babsi! do you mind sharing your experience there? what kinds of questions did he ask you? will you share your step by step experience? thanks! it would be really helpful

The employees at the embassy say that the envelope is cut at the upper left corner by the embassy itself.

thanks for calling baby! hihihi

hi all! this question is specifically for the us-philippines couple who made it.... i got my visa yesterday along with the visa packet and i noticed that there's like a 1/4 triangular cut on the edge of the brown envelope exposising its content... its not a tear but a cut, like intetional. this worries me and i just wanna know from you guys if your packet looked that way too the seal on the envelope is not broken whatsoever. thanks y'all

hi guys, i'm just a little confused.... is the $100 appointment fee that we paid in the bpi for my interview already counts for the visa fee or do we have to pay for the actual visa itself? if so, how much did it cost you? thank you very much for your help guys.

karencee, if you happen visit this topic again, this is "his woman" talking... guess what? he calls me bug, potato, shortsstack, snoopy,####### monkey, love, princess, queen, my joy, my life, my treasure and my everything. so what's your problem? nobody talks trash to my man.

thanks rebelheart!

hi all, this is a question for people who's already had their medical at st' luke's (philippines).... how much would the vaccines be and aren't they included on the 95 dollar fee? if they (doctors) found out that you haven't had any vaccinations, will they advise you to have it all at once? my medical is on march 9th. all replies will be really appreciated

why do people have to be mean? poor kitty, i hope they did that cuz he had skin disease or summin. if not, that's just plain cruel

Ok so my woman has her interview scheduled for next month and i was curious....how important do you think it is to send an affidavit from some kind of ordained minister saying he has been contacted about getting married? Did any of you not have that and pass ok? I was wondering because I'll send that if i have too, but would rather not because i want to get all this additional info to her right away. I want to send the last bits tomorrow but I'd just go UPS if i have to wait for that. Any help is appriciated thanks

It really is not necesary. More important is that both of You make a letter of intent Stating Your plans to marry within 90 days after she arrives.

As far as calling her Your woman. How about a bit of respect and at least say Fiance!!!!!!!!!

my man treats me with utmost respect, and yes, i am his woman, very proudly so.

our story is kinda like a mushy movie scene.. we met online, exchanged emails, talked everyday, fell inlove... enter the mushy movie scene >>> i was at the airport, waiting for a guy i have never seen in person, we decided to meet by the bathroom at the right wing of the arrival area(cuz that's the only place in the i'm familiar with:lol:) i was standing there when a guard asked me to go, he said i wasn't allowed in there:( so i went in the bathroom and asked a maintenance lady if i can hide there because i'm about to meet the love of my life for the first time and we're supposed to meet here, that if he doesn't find me, he'll think i dissed him. she seemed thrilled to hear my story and before i knew it, she was telling the story to almost everybody there! one of the guards she told the story to offered to pick him up for me!!! then there he was, being escorted by two security guards, all handsome, smiling at me. my heart felt like jumping out of my chest:D

rebelheart, did you pay for your medical right there and then? thanks!

if you get a divorce, and you can prove that you're in good faith, she'll be sent home immediately. i still hope that would not how your story would end though. best of luck

thanks rebelheart:P

congratulations donkey! i'mma be getting my packet at st. lukes too!! what a coinkidink! )

warning: do not use onesuite! <<< garbage! we need a better call card, suggestions anybody? u.s. - philippines call, has to be clear... and cheap=P tee hee

Why do you think Onesuite is garbage? Have used it since 2001 to call the Philippines and have yet to have a problem. Unlike most calling cards you get the minutes you pay for, no connection or maintance fees. Plus for K-1 filers there is a log of the calls you have made that can be printed.

onesuite likes you, pal wish i can say the same for me though:P

Here is another post: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...wtopic=2457&hl=

I used www.masterbell.com but you have no way of tracking your calls if you are looking to use for proof of ongoing relationship

thanks, we'll try it!

There is also a delivery charge that has to be paid to DELBROS for the visa delivery after the interview.

how much would the delivery charge be? thanks:P

eeyore, i have the same problem too.... i want to know what happens if the packet comes and nobody's home=P why do i feel like we're connected?
