Hi anybody flying to SF from manila this coming june 21 with PAL?? I would love to meet you!

:dance:

HELLO NOVA!!!

Am leaving for SFO on June 21, 2008 PAL PR104!!! Are we on the same flight?

YES YES YES!!! were on the same flight. see you there in NAIA. I will be wearing a dark blue jacket with a BIG WHITE star in the front that way you can recognize me... just in case I can't hehe.

Thanks everyone for the wishes and warm welcome.

Will you be bringing your cell? Maybe you can give me your number? Just PM me and i will send you my number too...Yippee me kasama na ako! Di ako nag-iisa!!!

Since I just recieved the text from Delbros this morning which stated that our visa was in transit to Davao, it didn't even say delivery will start 2days etc etc which is the usual text received by others. So, I was not really expecting the visa to arrive today, I was thinking it might be anytime this week but not today.

6:20 PM my daughter knocked on my room and called out "Ma, DELBROS daw".. I couldn't believe it at first, I thought she was just playing pranks on me--which she always do-- but still I just had to peek out of the window but I couldn't see any delivery vehicle outside (was used to big delivery vans of LBC & FedEx)... I was getting ready to go back to my room when my daughter said: "Nasa labas lagi, naka motor lang" (he is outside, in a motorcycle)...

so, I went out and saw this ordinary motor riding guy. He was holding some packets on his hand... at that point, my heart started beating faster and faster while I inched slowly towards the guy.. and there it was, on his hands was our VISA!!! I AM SOOO ECSTATIC RIGHT NOW!!!

ALL PRAISE AND HONOR BE TO GOD!

WOW! All praises to our God! Yes so many good news coming this week! More to come!!! Congrats Gay and am so happy for you and the family!!

Hi Richie, Yes its true that there are discounts given by Phil travel agencies if they know you are a first-time immigrant. Like for me, my POE is SFO. I got a one way ticket via PAL for only $765 whereas other travel agencies were quoting me at $1000++ for the same one-way ticket. Maybe your girlfriend can canvass for a good deal then just send her the money.

Congrats! Time to dance for joy!!!

CONDOLENCE TO YOUR FAMILY....

BUT I WISH TO THANK GOD FOR REPLACING THE SORROW YOU FEEL BY SENDING THE VISA TO BETH....AM SURE YOUR MOTHER IS VERY HAPPY FOR BOTH OF YOU AND AM SURE SHE KNOWS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT BETH HAS WITHIN HER....TAKE CARE AND HAVE A HAPPY REUNION WITH BETH!!

GOD BLESS!

Wow parang nasa Bible yun ha...40 days and 40 nights, hehehe.....You know naman how happy I am for you..na text ko na sayo....mauna ka pa sa akin, my friend...so have a safe trip and a happy grand reunion with Randy!!!

hi just wanna know if anyone here know anythin abt the fine for excess baggage and like how they're computed?

:help: :help: :help: :help:

been reading some of the replies here and they are all insightful and helpful to us who are having this dilemma. just want to share this. i also have my favorite cds...i plan to buy an ipod where i will transfer all my favorite songs...one kilo down. my albums of memories...i plan to scan them and save the pics on my laptop. hopefully they will all fit in...3 kilos down. i have learned to let go of attachment to material things. am sure when we get to the US, and start living there, am sure we will all start accumulating things again. so i don't plan on bringing stuff here that i won't really need in the US. well these are just my thoughts....

from Manila to SFO California. Mahal should departure in middle of June, looking for lowest cost one way ticket on any reliable airline. thanks

bought my tickets at PAL $765, one way ticket MNL to SFO

Happy Trip.....

Thanks for giving these links...am sure it will help a lot of us who are soon leaving. Envy...have you ever considered putting some of your stuff in balikbayan boxes? I am putting my clothes in one luggage and all the other pasalubong and personal memorabilia and stuff in the box. The box definitely can hold a lot more than the "maleta".

Hello,

Is the Guidance and Couneling Seminar the only requirement for fiancees on k1 visa to take before getting passport stamp at CFO Office in Manila? Is PDOS seminar not required for fiancee visa holders? You only have to make reservations at CFO Office if you take PDOS Seminar?

thanks,

WaltnRafi

I think PDOS is for OFWs. I only attended the CFO seminar and we were all either K1 or K3 visa holders. No need to make reservations. They have a schedule though so better call the venue before you plan to attend.

I just got off the phone with the embassy.

they approved Angela's visa on Friday and it is being delivered !!!!!!

OMG my heart is pounding aways

After 11 long months I will finally be with my Gorgeous and loving wife !!!!

HOORAY!!!! FINALLY!!! The long wait is over and soon you will be reunited with your wife. Happy reunion! God bless you both!

CONGRATS! Will be praying for the speedy release of you and your kids visas.

Hello everyone. My fiancee will try to go to SLMEC the first week of June. Is there a good day of the week to show up or will any day work? Also, should she be at the entrance very early? Does anyone know when they open? Thanks for the help.

Quite a few people have been going at 12 or 1 PM and avoiding the early morning rush.

Just saw where one was in at 1PM and out at 3PM.

They still have to come back the next day tho. If they have kids and have skin TB test. They have to come back 2 days later for reading.

Yup that's right...don't join the rush in the morning 'coz you will end up staying in SLEC the whole day. i came in at noon and the lady i sat beside with was there at 7am and she wasn't done yet. i was done with my medical by 3pm while the lady i befriended got off at almost the same time as i did. no point wasting your time lining up and going early. just my tip.

Praise God you finally have it!!! Am crying with joy for you!!! now there really is cause to envy you...hehehe!!! God bless you on your next journey!

this is the first of the next batch of good news to come this week! am sure darating na rin yung ibang naghihinitay ng visa nila...be patient and it will come :-)

Thank you all so much for the replies.I am trying to work out my marriage. It's complicated.I was not trying to point fingers at anyone nor solicit pity. My husband is not a bad guy. I just stated the facts to ask advice regarding my immigration case. If it really doesnt work out I will try to call Phil embassy or try to get working visa. But I am like other Filipinos who believe marriage is for keeps and problems can be overcome.

Regarding my case:

I logged in at USCIS and it says there that last update was Feb 25, 2008. Seems like no one is working on it. I see most people's cases filed same time as mine being touched. I tried calling but they couldn't help me. Last notice I got was from National Benefits center.

Wow, nemesis...I think you opened Pandora's box coz some people here are getting so heated up regarding your case.

May our Lord guide you in all your decisions and actions. Will include you in my prayers tonight. Take care!

Got a call from her before she went to the gate, her plane leaves Manila at 9am local time and she will arrive here in NY at 6pm tomorrow. Im so happy Thanks to all who helped, advised and supported her through our long wait. Its truly appreciated.

Happy reunion!! Best wishes!
