    Parents coming for a visit

    in Philippines

    Posted

    Collating the supporting documents and all those stuff took longest.. But as soon as you have already paid the application fee from BDO ($131), can call up the PLDT line to schedule appointment

    Here is the timeline they had:

    May-July - collecting all requirements:

    <they had to wait a long time for this because Papa doesn't have passport yet and so to get it he has to have birth certificate, but Papa's birth certificate was lost and the records were destroyed during WW2>, this was the hassle why it took long to get everything going.

    July 20 - finally when all the requirements are ready, they went to Legaspi Albay to pay the application fee in BDO. Same day they tried calling the PLDT line, no luck, couldn't get thru; also tried calling using other lines, still no luck

    July 21 - still continue trying to call PLDT line, still no luck...

    July 22 - went to another town in Tabaco, Albay to try the PLDT office from there, someone answered from the US embassy:

    They were asked the questions on the phone.

    When is the planned visit (ans: as stated in my application form Aug 1 or as soon as possible)

    Why do you want to go to US (daughter and son in law invited us and wanted to take the oppurtunity to visit and travel with my husband since he's also old already and would be nice if they can visit)

    Is this coming Friday ok with you?...

    ...and so they had to leave morning of thursday, arrived in Manila, Thursday night.

    July 24 (8 am) - they were asked to go in at 6:30 am for the 8 am interview sched.

    Here's what happened: Had to wait for their turn to be called (40th interviewee on window 5 (this is my lucky no))

    They were asked for their application forms, and their passports.

    the questions asked were:

    1. Why do you want to go to US?

    2. What work does your daughter do in US? <she works in computers - IT, she's a graduate of computer science>

    3. How many children do you have? (5)

    4. How many in US and how many in the Philippines? <only one in US though i have a sister there who is already a US citizen>

    5. What will make you come back to the Philippines? I only have one daughter in US and a grandson, I have 4 here in US and two grandchildren, there's no way i would exchange US life for my family here in the Philippines. Our trip is simply so we can go see my daughter there and not live there especially illegally.

    Same day friday afternoon, they got message from air21 giving the tracking nos for their package.

    Hi, congratulations! By the way, may I ask what are the requirements they submitted during the interview?

    Thanks!

    My husband was born and grew up in Riverside, California and we just moved here in Murrieta, California.

    hope you can help me on this.

    thanks in advance.

    Hi, I used my married name as my last name when we filed for my AOS.

    Example only:

    Hi to all who are expecting or already a mom. I am due in 1 week. My doctor said that it looks like that I will be giving birth on my due date which is November 11. We will be having a baby girl and can't wait to hold and welcome her to the new world. :dance:

    When I had my prenatal check-up last Tuesday, my OB told me that my cervix is still close so, we are in a waiting game now.

    Good luck to all of us who are soon to be a mom and to all moms. :dance:

    Congratuations Destiny,

    Just a few more days, how exciting!!!! :dance:

    Today we had a busy day, went to eat some peruvian food and Oh Surprise, I didn't have any desire to eat my favorite dish in the whole world (It's called ceviche), hubby ordered a big dish for both and I have to say that I had a little nausea when I saw it :wacko: . Weird.

    After that we went to Target and finally bought my first pregnancy pants, my regular pants don't fit well anymore so I got this ones for a very good price, size 2, and still a little big but fit much better than my regular pants.

    I'm in week 15 and gained less than 5 pounds since the beginning of my pregnancy, still normal???

    And before I forget, we got some beautiful outfits for our baby, for next Christmas, hubby went crazy!

    That was our weekend, tomorrow is Monday, it sucks!!!

    Have a great week girls!

    Vi :star:

    Hi Vi, Thanks to you too! Wow we have the same name? My name is Vhilma..hehehe. so my friends call me Vi or Vhi.

    Congratz to you too! When I was not yet pregnant, I was weighing 104lbs and now I am weighing 128lbs. My doctor said that it is just ok because I am just 4'11 and I think it is also normal on your part. Probably you will gain more weight as your progress with your pregnancy.

    It was funny because I cant find any pregnancy pants that has waistband at the store that will fit for me, they are all big sizes.

    Good luck and stay healthy!

    Hi Eveline, thanks for the info. I read some labor stories that some just lasted less than an hour and some lasted more than 24 hours. For sure, it is really hard to experience more than 24 hours labor :crying:
