If she needs financial aid, she should try to get a TA or RA position.

She should be exempted from tuition (including non-residence fee) and get paid about $1,000 - 1,500 a month.

The amount, of course, depends on the college though.

ok whats a TA or RA ?????

i was actually looking for scholarships for asian or filipinos etc.

I'm looking for real links (not the spam sites) that have scholarships for foreign students to come to the US. my niece is a graduate from college ,but wants to continue her masters here in the US in accounting and also English courses. she is a filipina. she will be living with me and her aunt in Massachusetts she graduated with a 4.0 top of her class in her college any assistance would be greatly appreciated

hey there PW have fun waiting for all the paperwork SSN EAD an AOS lots of fun the screw ups keep coming an coming with them. even our state senator Senator ED Kennedy said he cant believe how incompitant the immigration dept has gotten. his office puts over half of its resources just into dealing with immigration mistakes which are usually immigration DEPT errors. Yove had to wait 3 months to get her social secruity card because the people at the hanover office made the mistake over an over again misspelling her name. it took a call to kennedys office to call there office to get someone to look at what the problem was. yove been here over a year and she still hasnt gotten her AOS card

thought i'ld share this. 1 year ago today i called the state department after 12 minutes on hold a nice women answered and checked our information ,and told me that april 18th 2006 was our interview date. i called my atawa waking her up to give her the best valentine present.

Hey can you check out my interview checklist. This is what we will have with us.

Did I leave anything out ???????????????????

Gary505:

1. You are not required to submit any bank statements.

2. However, we did submit six (6) months of paystubs for which you are missing from your list.

3. Please be sure that your pictures are not copies. The USE only accept original pictures. For example, my wife and I made copies of our online photo album on paper for which the USE did not accept. Lucking we also brought our photo album that was accepted and reviewed by the CO and returned subsequent to the interview.

4. I also noticed that you stated the NVC letter has a typo. Did the USE mis-spell your fiancee's name on any of the corespondence with your fiancee? If so, please have your fiancee address that with the CO, and/or call the USE at your earliest convenience to ensure that error is not translated onto the Visa. If this is the case, it's imperative that your fiancee's name on the Visa is correct. Traveling with a misprint on a Visa will endeed cause you unnecessary heartache that you will not need.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling

p.s. - The USE will take one complete copy of your I-134 Affidavit of Support and back-up because only one is required per visa applicant, but do take both copies.

if your self employed like i am you have to have bank statements plus a letter from the bank showing your in good standing

and if you file your taxes monthly and or quartely that will help also.

something for all you new arrivals to america since asawa.org has died. me and Yove have found www.theworldoffilipinas.com

it has some really great post about adjusting to america and i've seen many of the old timer posters on this site (lol like 1 year ago posters are old timers lol) posting there i highly recommend it

How much in advance should the interview fee be paid? It is $100? Where is this fee paid at? Also, where does she pay the medical exam fee, when does she pay it and how much is it?

The time is getting near for us and I don't want any delay. I appreciate all of you that answer my questions. I hired a lawyer to handle this and now see all I did was as Gary said before, paid his Country Club Dues!

this question reminds me of yove's interview 2 women never paid the fee at the bank so they had to rechedule there interview.

thought i'd share this article for everyone coming to america with all the illegals being center stage in current politics guess who has to pay the price for the lack of immigration processing

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061129/lf_nm/usa_greencard_dc_3

its a very sad situtation.

This doesnt have much to do with k-1 and k-3 Nonimmigrant visa.

This is only immigrant based greencards that are so backedup.

This has been a problem for many years due to the high demand for the u.s to fill jobs with qualified workers that most americans either dont want to do or are not educated enough to do.

actually it does have a lot to do with all visa's my wife's AOS an EAD paperwork has been delayed for additional 64 days so far. we have our congressman and senators offices working on it, but the delay is based on the backlog of illegals immigrants paperwork being processed. although getting her here may not be as big an issue as you think. she wont be able to do much till the rest of the paperwork is done ,and that can be very cruel to your future atawa.

wow holy ####### wow always thought you were older PW just saw your pic lol so why isnt your info on this list that you maintain with such skill

Glad to know you're still reading our thread, Danoco.

As you know my first petition fell through because of my two marriages (to the same person) and two annulments and now I'm on petition no. 2. Two of everything for me! I haven't received NOA2 for petition no. 2 so I'm not in the list yet. We're hoping to get NOA2 by end of October or early November.

I'm middle-aged already ~ turning 44 this year so you're hunch was correct, I'm an old hag. Filipina women transform from a young maiden during the day and turn into an old witch at night. Better switch on your night lamp to make sure Yove does not transform at night. Hala lagot, asawang aswang!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!

hmm maybe thats why she spends all her time in the bathroom lol

well i hope my atawa looks as good at 44 lol

wow holy ####### wow always thought you were older PW just saw your pic lol

so why isnt your info on this list that you maintain with such skill

for those of you who have recieved your visa an may have questions on what do i do next feel free to PM me an my atawa Yove we will try an answer any questions

thought i should give you all a very important heads up [/b] MAKE SURE YOU PHOTO COPY EVERYTHING

WHEN YOU COME INTO THE COUNTRY CUSTOMS TAKES ALL YOUR PAPERWORK and then immigration never gets them so you have to redo all the forms again. and dont throw away anything that letter they send to the petitioner the 129 approval letter is needed for the final AOS meeting.

when dealing with the US government remember 3 rules

1. if it sounds to dumb to believe it is

2. make enough photo copies that a small forest is cut down so that the paperwork will be filed away an never read

3. keep your senators phone no# on speed dial for all the bull they will put you through.

we have been able to get yoves EAD through with no problem with help from the senators office but the AOS is a whole new ball game

expect me to kick some dirt on home plate and scream at the umpire

we recieved a written letter asking for the forms that come in the Visa packet that the immigration people keep when you enter the country??? for the AOS forms so they can be completed????? im confused as they should have them. the 129f forms the affidavits of support etc. everything that they keep when you enter the country. my wife has allready had her biometrics ,and is just waiting for her interview. anyone else have this ???? i'll be calling them this morning my guess is someone there is confused or someone lost her paperwork

How exactly was the letter written ... Is it possible they are looking for your NOA2 from your K-1 Visa or did you send that with your AOS package ??

Wait a tick.....going on a hunch

I assume your wife came in on a K1 Visa and you got married

AOS is a totally different proceess, and yes you have to fill out alot of the same forms again.

yup exactly i have to redo all the paperwork plus send in all the forms they didnt tell me to make copies of

customs is holding all her paperwork and doesnt give them to immigration its a good thing they dont tell you to keep copies

took me 3 tries and over 4 hours

Oh Wind, so sorry to hear that. But don't worry too much about the reason for the AR. Your fiancee had some changes made in her birth certificate and the embassy just wants to make sure that everything was straight and legal. They will probably double check with both the LCR and the NSO (Philippine govt.) and once they’re satisfied that everything is above board, everything should be ok.

You know the problems we had with her BC, that's what worries me.....we couldn't get a new passport

wind at this point its being held up by the US government (there the ones that sent it out in the first place) you need to contact your local congressmans office ,and explain how long this has been ,and i strongly suggest you go there in person. i think you will find that 4 to 6 weeks will be very short when they get involved. everytime i call my government official it seems to fix the problem in under a week. the only time i couldnt get them to fix a problem was because it was a philippine issue that we paid off the required fee ( a big bribe) and it was fixed in a week. and you've seen my post since i started i may be loud an obnoxius , but i get it done. you an PW are the last of us old timers left if anyone one needs to make some noise its you and PW

I thought about that too but i've heard they won't do anything on a AR unless it went over the time limit. I'm still thinking about it tho. Anyone know who is best to contact in West Michigan?

well they told me something like that on the phone too, but i've never been one that waits ,or follows the rules (im a 100% ### that you want to get rid of) i went in there once they never forgot me ,and never wanted me to come back. and when they say theres nothing they can do ask to talk to the congressman you'll be amazed at how much they can do when there ability to do there job is confronted. go angry and commited ,and make sure they know it, and dont just go to your congressman go to both state senators office ,and do the same i did it and you know that Yove had a birth certificate issue and EAD issues i got both taken care of with in the week instead of the 90+ days they say it takes. and when they tell you that it might be a month to talk to your congressman or state senator make sure you get the spelling of there name so you can write it down on the letter to the congressman/senator that there telling you a month to talk to them. this will also get them off there lazy ###'s to get them to do there job. they may not be motivated by advancement in the civil service field but they dont like to be embarressed at there lack of ability. (like i said i can be a grade A ###) its also good to go in with a digital camera so you can take a picture of the person for your letter . i look at it like this i pay taxes i want a return on what i pay 35% of my yearly pay too.

so kick ### and take names pictures and let it be known that your the squeakiest wheel they will ever ever see.

this way may seem harsh ,but it works yove being here is proof enough.

PW, i'm not done so fast they didn't release my fiancee's visa So i called the embassy to find out why they didn't release it yet, she told me they sent the case to Philippine government to verify documents. She said it would take 4-6 weeks. She said it was something the officer noticed and wanted to verify. Kinda odd she asked me if she planned to come to USA and marry me. She said everyone goes thru the review, of course i said that doesn't make sense because i know people who have already received it around the same time she had her interview.

Not sure what it is, i know they asked her who the baby was in the family picture we took in the Philippines. Maybe the lady didn't believe her when she told her it was her sisters. I dunno what to do, seems like we get so close and then get it stripped away. Pretty rough times I dunno if that is considered AR or not, i worry why they would send the case to the Philippine government. I dunno.

ok i hate to be the elephant in the middle of the room but why do we have 2 manila embassy discussions ???

is this one full ???? are we segregatin south manila from north manila ??? everytime i log on i pop into the wrong one.

I think we finally have good news. My fiancee said all the papers were correct and they didn't say anything about needing more documents. She never asked if she was approved like i told her she should, so i hope she did get approved. She told me she got a pink slip and payed Delbros, so i'm thinking she did. Going to get the full details tonight She went in at 6;30am and didn't get out until after 2pm i think She said she was interviewed by a big american female hehe.

I wonder how long it will take to send the visa to Bohol. Also hope the plane tickets aren't all sold out for mid-Sept.

Thanks for the interest in our case for those who sent us E-mails.

gratz wind i would say your approved if you payed debros and recieved a pink slip thats what yove got.

now all we have to do is see PW get hers and all the old timers of this list will be done

and why do we have 2 threads about the same thing here ???? confusing thought this was removed 2 manila embassy threads doesnt seem to make sense are we so big we need 2 threads ????
