I too am a young woman, 24 and my husband is an american, 28. And i agree to everything you have said. Back when I was still in the Philippines, there are a lot of Filipina women who were only focused on how much money these old foreigners (american, non-american) have and how much it would be of benefit to them. No emotional or love aspect contributing to these 60+ foreign men and 20 y/o women. A lot of factors may play in this situation. They might be poor when they grew up, did not have parents who raised them properly, or maybe they did not get good education. It's sad to see but they believe they are powerful, attractive etc when everybody around them (even if its just their filipino friends) praises and looks up to them.
I too, have chosen not to be acquainted with fellow filipinos as well and I am trying to contribute to the american society and embracing its culture. I've chosen to stay away from them and not be involved with people who talks about each other and tries to always bring fellow filipinos down like everything's a competition.

Excellent post! Tell you what, I'm 27 and Im with a 29-yr old american. I was bashed a few times for being with a "young" american because they said they didn't have money while their nasty old farts have pension and whatnot (thehelldoIcare?) ridiculous, right? I always try to say i'm an independent girl who doesn't need to be with somebody to support my needs and my wants. It just happened that he's american and I'm filipino, no big deal. Those ignorant girls think that their way out of poverty is marrying "old foreigners" - the older the better because they say "it's closer to being dead, therefore it's sooner that they can get out of the relationship after getting what they really want." It is horrifying. To be quite honest, ever since I've been in the US, I never acquainted myself with my fellow filipinos just to stay away from trouble. This is America, speak in a language where everybody can understand you. I am not saying that all of the Filipinos are like that but I just really think there's no room for self-improvement if you surround yourself with Filipino friends, eat filipino food all the time, talk in your language... This is America and I am privileged to get to experience their culture and I am embracing it. I have not eaten any Filipino food since I got here. I weaned myself out of rice pretty easily.
So generally, as a filipino myself, i dont like hanging out with filipinos here since most of them are just really nosy about what's happening in your life. And I'm not like that. In actuality, i dont give a sht. Lol
Bravo though for this heads up.

Here in seattle since Apr 22. POE was in Seattle too. The officer was really nice.

The petitioner sent me his I-134 (Affidavit of Support), 1040 and W2. He has also sent me his pay stubs and a letter from Bank of America. At my interview, they gave me back his pay stubs and all others were taken from me.
THANK YOU Romet! I'm so excited and can't wait to fly with my fiancé!
Thank you Kimberley95!

I just finished my interview today and i got approved!!! Yay! Now gonna wait for my visa

Have a safe flight Pheebs!
Please pray for me, my interview's set for tomorrow... Getting anxiousssss

I beg your pardon Janelle2002, as the great country of the Philippines, ""HAS NOT been on expedited for years"" as my wife is from Cebu, and we were 186 days until NOA 2, and from June 22 2012 until April 24 2013 until POE!!!
I DO NOT think that is expedited!
Also, some people do not realize that another Typhoon just a very few months ago, and almost as bad as the one last year did almost as much damage, with a 13 foot storm surge, near Leyete. Many are still missing, just because someone went to a part of the country not effected and had a nice trip, does not mean there is not a """Huge"" devastation in the central part of that country, south of Manila.
Have you been there and seen the people living in "card board boxes," or laying under a bridge, and eating rats? I have!
If these people can qualify on some type of visa, then so be it, though I know, there are many places in dire straits in the world, I have never seen anything like what has happened, to the most populated part of the country.
I wish all people would be expedited but who would process them.
I admit it is a debatable subject, who deserves, who does not, all I can say is what I have seen.

Thanks guys! @chrisandcoria The earliest I could do was Jan 28 but that's too early for me since I don't have my requirements ready yet + medical exam still need to be done... I'm juggling betweeen clerkship, research studies and visa application.. Crazzzzyyyyyyy.
I hope you get the visa the soonest! tell us how the interview goes!
@23dave, thank you!

I paid Thursday and was able to schedule just earlier today... around 2pm Philippine Time 01/20/2015.
I think because of the banks being closed due to the Papal visit...
Try again today

Thanks for those who helped me last time! I was able to book my interview

Take care!!

Hey @oana.budescu, it's funny but me and my fiancé also met on omegle. I was just bored and the site was just given to me by a friend and he said he was just bored too.. Around 2 hours of talking, we exchanged msn and he just kept on messaging me everyday.
And I do agree with Romet that our "monthly" board is more active than all the other "monthly"s.
Also, please pray for the Philippines. Seems like another typhoon's about to hit us.

Hey guys! I just checked the website and it says our case was approved! yay!

I love it haha! Go November team!
Welcome and good luck!
Welcome to the team!
It means your NOA1 is in the mail, so essentially yes! Although of course you need the mailed copy for future reference
It is indeedy! Hard copy of NOA1 should arrive in the mail shortly.
When you get your NOA1 you will have a receipt/case number which you can type in!
Check out the website daisypath for the little animated people timeline! Then you copy and paste the image link into your signature!
Hello and good luck

They message you when they receive your petition. And if you filled out the one form for notifications (sms and email) forgot what its called

I just received a message from Uscis. Is the case number the receipt number?? And is that the noa1??
