We did once before. Filled out the form they asked of us. And didn't hear anything else regarding the case, but did start receiving emails to campaign on his behalf. 

That is hilarious, sorry but it is...And how fitting is that? I won't do ####### for you people, but send me back to do....jack #######!

Very frustrating. This is why illegal immigration is such a problem in this country. If you are responsible, patriotic and adhere to the rule of law, you are raked over the monetary and emotional coals until you can't help being a little bitter about the experience.

But NO, they are trained not to relate to us. They are trained to look at each individual case as a number and potential problem until they find no reason to scrutinize it any longer, then it's on to the next potential mass-extinction event.....tongue in cheek of course.

I'd be afraid of causing a vendictive RFE. They can say they lost any number of things and really mess you up.

Faye worked for them when we met. Small world

I appreciate the sentiment, but at this point it is not earlier than expected.  If it was easy, then everyone would do it.  LDR are very hard, but they are worth it if you truly love the other person.  

DAY 115  (Day 121 since Received) Nothing in Informed Delivery today.

 

I was happy that I was able to help you out.  There are a lot of good people here on this site that are willing to help you out.  

 

I am just trying to hang on and get things ready for a trip to see her and hopefully be able to bring her back here with me.  

 

One Day More... One Day Less... One Day Closer... 

Which Call Center, my love works in a Call Center as well.

Ariva Med I think in BGC

Thinking I'll arrange it after my Faye has completed her resignation on Aug 10...She works for a Call Center and has to wait 60 days for back pay by rule... So I was thinking Sept 7-10. Then by the time she receives her back pay and prorated 13th month salary we should be ready to move...hopefully but who knows at this point.

@smilei

I thought it would be. only an hour flight but should suffice. She really wants to see the underground river. So I'll make it happen

I'm also enacting my plan B just in case this takes too long.

I am sending my Fiance' and Mother-In-Law to be, to Puerta Princesa for some quality one on one time before my Faye leaves. It will also allow her to get past any fears of flying because she has never flown before.

I may end up having to purchase a non-stop to LAX for her and just drive out and pick her up then drive back to Kansas together. 

MOA is entertainment area/ Mall Of Asia in Pasay.....pubs and restaurants galore

At this rate All of us headed to the Phil will crash the embassy at the same time....I feel a celebratory bender at MOA coming on! Who's in?

Starring at flight schedules is almost as bad as an empty mailbox I know....Almost LOL

Been over twice in the last year. This next trip is to bring her home.

i'll look into your suggestion.

thanks Keith

I considered Delta originally, but from Kansas everything is routed east to Atlanta then to Tokyo, which made no sense.

Lighter subject

Has anyone flown Philippine Air out of LAX to Manila?

I usually fly United thru Denver-Tokyo- Manila since I'm from Wichita, Ks Area.

also curious about United via Guam.

It's possible, could be a form of protest since time slowed after SC confirmed legality of travel ban. 

I hope not but who knows. We're all friends here, so let's avoid politics whenever possible. Not saying that was intention cause most have thought about it at least in passing.

Nothing in mail for us.... one day closer though 

I agree, buying tickets before visa in hand is risky. That being said. Last minute ticket prices double the fare. My Faye has never flown before so I'm flying with her. I figured 2 months from NOA2 too interview, so I will add a month after that and buy our tickets. She works for a Call Center so they do yearly med certs, so that doesn't worry me.

Day 104 from NOA1  4/10/2017 I'm sooo ready to buy some freakin plane tickets 

Congrats!!! Great news and hope for the rest of us...Good luck this coming week to all. And a special shout-out to all our future FilAm couples!

Ok this is the best illustration of what happens at USCIS that I've found

Missing my Faye!

Estibaliz

There is no apology needed..You simply vented a frustration we all felt. I have a feeling by the time this process is over, we will have a special place in our hearts for those who walked with us thru this journey, and shared all the ups and downs equally. I for one don't remember a lot of the people I attended High School with, but I'll remember every one who went thru this happy but oft times gut wrenching experience along side of me I assure you. I believe communication is the building block of all successful relationships, I also believe that shared experiences build lasting friendships. 

God Bless you all....Have a great day

Dragon that was a great read. And i agree that we've all learned how to communicate through this process. Also don't blame you a bit for being tempted to just go to her. In fact; my Faye and I have already bought a home in San Pablo Laguna, Philippines and we will be retiring there in another 15 yrs or so. Well she started the purchase 6 months before we met actually. She said she was praying one night and she felt that the Lord was compelling her to "prepare her field for rain, to reap a harvest" so in faith she did. Then in June of 2015 we met on Christian Filipina, and the rest is still being written  God Bless you and your Bride to be!

Oh and just curious; after you fell for her, did you stop shooting at her on your game? haha
