Good luck! Our prayers are with you!

I promised Riza that no matter what happens, we will work through everyting. I have been praying so much for her the past few days. I guess in a matter of hours we'll know how soon our future together will arrive. God is good, but His plans are not our plans. He has a time and a season for everything. I pray that our time and our season together comes in the time I had anticipated. God's great strength and love will lift us up, and I know that He will provide Riza with good health.

Dearest Heavenly Father, I thank You for the great gifts of love that you have poured out onto me. You have given me a wonderful fiancee whose love is so great and pure and wonderful friends and support here in this community. Please shepherd us each on this journey and join with us in our loves, exult in the love we have for You and for one another. Thank You for taking care of Riza and please give her a passing X-Ray free of blemishes, scars or anything questionable. I know her heart would break if there were some more delay, please Father, don't let her heart break. I stand ready to support her through anything, please let it be joy. You are our most powerful, loving Holy Father. Everything that will be is according to Your will and Your plans. Please bring my baby to me soon though.

Father I also ask that you help to shepherd and safeguard each person that reads this. Let them find the joy in love, help them to complete their journeys or move onto the next step. Keep us all healthy, and let the perfect answers flow from each person who will be having their interview soon. Please Father, protect those who will travel soon. Keep them safe, and let them know the ease of Your gentle presence in their hearts. For those who will feel lonely, please speak into their lives so that they know that they are not alone. Father Your ways are the right ways and the most beautiful. Father, I just want to thank You for all that You have done to put each of us on this journey. For those who have suffered disappointments lately like Alex and Michael and Forgiven, please help to ease their hearts and help them to understand that You are there. Please keep Alex healthy and let it only be a slight delay. Please grant great joy to each of us, so that we can lift that jooy back up to You in our prayers of thanks.

I ask each of these things in the name of Your most Holy Son Jesus Christ, Amen.

Such a beautiful prayer Ryan....kakainggit naman....you are so blessed Ryan & Riza....am sure God will hear your prayers...will also be praying for you....Good luck..think positive...have faith!!

Hi kababayans,

Im new here but need some advice. I came here and got married December 2007. it's May,less than 6 months married and my husband wants a divorce. I love my husband and dont want a divorce but I cant be on a marrige on my own.I

I filed my AOS and EAD on Feb 2008 and just got my EAD card. I'm working now and can barely support myself. I dont really want to return to the philippines right now because of the stigma of divorce.I dont want to be 26 and divorced so early into the marriage. Wala akong mukhang maihaharap. I dont want to go back to all my friends and family with my tail behind my back after I defended this marriage albeit wrongly. I had a good career there and if I return now, I dont have any money on my own because I send my extra cash to my family. This is another reason I dont want to go back-I have siblings I need to support. I'm well educated and have good working experience.

My question is: What are my options after divorce when my AOS is still pending, I dont have a greencard yet and my husband will definitely not support my getting a greencard. He actually wants me to leave ASAP so that I wont be able to get it because we are expecting an interview this June or July or he is afraid Ill be TNT which obviously I wont be doing. What can I do while we are going through the divorce process? I dont even know how long it will take. I was thinking of going to Canada or Middle East instead so atleast Ill still be earning more. What are the chances that if I go back to the Philippines and cancel my AOS application, I can get a US visa in the future? Im really lost, please help me.

Hi nemesis20,

I feel for you. This must be totally devastating for you. But you seem to be a really strong woman to still go on with the battle. Is there really no hope for your marriage? Have you tried to consult a marriage counsellor? Gosh, sorry to sound so romantic but I really believe there still is hope for your marriage.

Well if in case you cannot save the marriage and if your husband has already filed the divorce, then I think you should also consult an immigration lawyer. Maybe you can check the Philippine Embassy in your area if there are people there who can help you out. Or maybe you can check out Gurfinkel Immigration Consultants...i don't know if you have them in your are but they help out Filipinos with immigration problems. Try also searching the internet for free consultation of immigration lawyers, maybe there is one out there who can help you for free.

Will be praying for you. God bless you girl!

I will be having my interview june 5th. my husband sent the documents via USPS registered mail last may 7th. it has track no. but it can't be trace anymore after the acceptance. I called the post office here in philippines they don't have the letter package yet, and they said it could take like 3 to 4 weeks or more. my interview date is 13 days from now..

so to be safe my husband wants to send thru fedex a another affidavit of support coz it have to be notarized.

my questions are , is the employment letter need to be original or he can just scan it and send it emails.

is that okay that the Pay stub, 1040 and W2 are only copies and not original? I just want to print this all.

but I wanna know if this all are okay to present at the interview?

pls help.... anyone

Dora, since your husband will be sending the docs via FEDEX then let him send all the docs that you need from him preferably in original form....ikaw na ang magpa-photocopy para in case the Consul gets the original at least you still have a copy to return to your husband. Don't ever use the Philippine Postal System for sending original docs especially if you need them ASAP...they are so unreliable! Sorry to say that even if I am a Filipina....Good luck to your interview!

hell to all VJ's members,

add me pls to ur friendster account: gladdysuson@yahoo.com.

Take care always and God bless us here in America!!

hi sugarplum,

yeah i noticed that too...but i also noticed you said God bless us here in America? so are you in the US already? anyway, i will add you to my messenger list. Hope we can keep in touch when we are in the US already. Am sure we would still need each other for support. God bless you!

Hi everyone, is it true that you still need to pay $70 for the affidavit of support in send it to NVC......my fiance got this info from his friend who also filed a k1 petition but I don't know if this is true. as far as I know the affidavit of support should be notarized and then the petitioner will send it to the benefeciary for the USE interview.

You are correct. I think my fiance only paid for the notary and the mailing costs. He should send the affidavit to you since you need it for your interview.

hi to all vj.. i just want to know.. kung kelangan na rin bang magbayad agad ng visa fee kung may schedule na for interview? Saan magbabayad? May requirement din ba ang payment for visa fee?

you can pay anytime to BPI or Citibank. Not all BPI branches accept visa payment, depends on your location. No need to bring any doc except your pesos. I think the fee is around 5T++. Bring P6T to make sure kasi baka tumaas na ang fee.

hi fellow VJ's.. i keep on calling Manila USembassy and DELBROS and i cant reach them. there number is always busy.. i wonder why.. do you have any suggestion on what day and time is the best to call them?

i hope this helps...i tried calling them in the morning. i noticed that later in the day, their phones are most of the times busy.

Thanks for the list Primie! Am sure we will be able to use this too. Good luck on your next journey!

Her flight leaves in 30 minutes! I haven't been this excited since who knows when. I feel like a kid again and tonight is Christmas Eve and tomorrow Santa will bring me the best gift of all. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. I can't believe that after all this waiting, delays and stress she will finally be here. We have made it! It was well worth it. :D

Seasons Greetings!!

IS any body here know what number or extension number to call (USEM ) Grace incharge of docs. Verification... I wanted to know if the NSO already send the DOCS. to USEM, and if the USEM received it already?

The only number i know is

USEM ------- 301-2000

NSO -------926 73 33 (richard)

Delbros------- 339 2761

Is there anybody in NSO who is not rude ( Richard is so rude )....

Thanks

HELLO! Try calling USEM 301200075184 or 301200075185 - look for grace or lorraine. Dial those numbers directly and you will get connected to either grace or lorraine. Just tell them that you would like to know if they have received the results of document verification from NSO. Be patient with them. Try to understand them nalang. Good luck to you!

you'll probably be arriving 6:30pm to 7:30pm local time. if you have a window seat, I believe on the left side of the cabin, maybe you'll get your first view of the Golden Gate Bridge. enjoy the flight, but it's a long one.

Thanks for the tip! Am so excited!!

Looks like we missed a lot of fun....am so happy that you guys met up last night....cheers to long-lasting friendships!!!

hello to the most patient people on this earth!

i am totally out to celebrate today as my visa finally landed on my hands.

it has been a long journey but i look forward to another long trip going home to my husband, who i have not seen for six months now.

keep the love alive as we wait for our reunion with our loved ones.

fyi: interview = april 22 while nso verification request = april 21.

Congratulations!!! Happy reunion with your hubby!!!

I got my ticket thru our trusted travel agent, Airways Travel. It is a local agency based in Quezon City. I only have their contact number tel no 4168070, look for Bing Garcia. The promo is until June 30, 2008. Booking and departure until June 30, 2008 only. My agent said that you can just give her a call if you want to book with them. If you need her cell#, please send me a PM since she doesn't want me to post her # here. If you live in the province, you can make arrangements with her since she has accomodated provincial bookings from other clients. They do not have a website though so I wouldn't know how those abroad can book for their fiances. Maybe you can try calling her and ask her though.

My family has been buying tickets from this agent for years, domestic and international, so we really trust them. Anyway, you can just try it out if you want. Or I also suggest you can ask other agents in your locality if they can give you the same promo airfare.

Sounds like good price but. Concider the differance in cost verse your love ones safety.

Philippines airlines was down graded by the american gov. in safety not that long ago (Dec.), think it was. Maybe some of you never heard about that or for all I know it's been changed back again?

I recently had trouble getting a decent one way fare for my Zenaida. I finely figured out that if you want the flight in less than 2/3 weeks, plan on paying threw the nose ($1,700.00+-). Beyond that time I was able to get a way ticket to R.I. for $ 1,040.00 NWA.

By the way, was not able to get the price threw NWA agent. Figured it out on line by playing with flight dates.

just to set the record straight, it was the ATO that was downgraded, not PAL.

Thanks for setting the record straight RoyandYazi. God bless you!!!

I respect your opinion regarding Philippine Airlines. But I also have some relatives who have travelled using NorthWest Airlines and their feedback is that their standards are not the same anymore. These are seasoned travellers and their suggestion to me was that Philippine Airlines has upgraded their service and maintenance standards. Anyway, I do respect your opinion... just wanted to share the good news that I got a good price for my airfare. God bless you!

HELLO! I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE WHO WILL BE LEAVING AND WHOSE POE IS SAN FRANCISCO. I WAS ABLE TO GET A REALLY LOW AIRFARE PROMO PRICE OF $765.00!! ONE-WAY ECONOMY CLASS TICKET PHILIPPINE AIRLINES. THE PROMO IS UNTIL JUNE 30. JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS INFO SO YOU CAN AVAIL OF THE PROMO.

Hi Guys!

Just want to share this info about my visa validity..

I thought visa is valid for 6 months and will be issued on the day you were approved.

But, i've noticed mine was issued may 14 (had my interview may 12) and valid til oct 23 only.

And i remember i had my medical last april 23..so when i count from there to oct 23 it's exactly 6 months..

Just courious if you guys have the same validity.

Thanks!

hello! i was also interviewed april 23. my visa was issued may 14. the expiration date is october 14. i had my medical april 9 and 14. well that's also exactly 6 months from my last medical date. i really don't know if that is a concidence. whatever....YAHOO!! i have my VISA and i will be with my honey very soon!!!

Well everyone ShaSha arrived in the US on Friday and its been great. I drove to LA from Las Vegas to be with her at POE. I arrived at the airport and waited 2 1/2 hours for her to come out. Finally she came around the corner and it was such an amazing feeling of happiness to see her in the US, and I didnt have to look so funny holding roses for such a long time. We spent a few days in California to see Hollywood and go to Disneyland. It was great to see the cute faces she makes when she looks at things. She was like a little kid at Disney. She was amazed with the size of the drinks and the amount of food you get in the US when you order something. Not having to pay for a bottomless drink every american knows what I mean by that. Of all the places to eat we stopped at Chow King in California. We were driving and I looked over and there it was so we stopped. So much more to pay in the US. ShaSha couldnt believe we paid 21.00 US dollars for the 2 of us. The drive back from California to Las Vegas she was amazed with the mountains and the snow on top. Goodluck everyone and ShaSha and I would like to thank everyone for all the help we received.

Special thanks to Lotterly, you helped us so much. Remember ShaSha and I owe you dinner in Las Vegas so make sure you get Richard to visit Las Vegas.

wow!! happy reunion!!!

The way to do thing have original as much as you can. Also make sure you have two copies of each and everything. Then you should everything put into folders that it will be easier for you fine things

first folder: all the your documents, and receipt for everything

Second folder: All document concerning you (Birth & ext...)

Third folder; All Document concerning you Finace' (Birth, & ect...)

Fourth Folder: All Document concerning your children if you have any

Fifth folder: Support material (letter, email, & ect...)

Sixth folder: Picture and anything else you feel you might need to bring with youi

Good Luck and God bless

hi bobwindy, there has been several threads already about all the required docs to bring to the interview...sorry i can't find it right now but try searching the topic...am sure you will find a lot of threads about it....it is very important that you be prepared with all the documentation before your interview and more importantly know the contents of your documents so when the consul asks you for information, you can answer without batting an eyelash...good luck to your interview!!! God bless you!

THANKS TO MY VJ FAMILY!

THIS FORUM HAS BEEN SUCH A BIG BIG HELP TO US EVER SINCE WE STARTED THIS K1 JOURNEY. IF NOT FOR THIS FORUM, I WOULD STILL BE IN A BLACKHOLE UNTIL NOW. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE JOURNEY. I WILL CONTINUE BEING AN ACTIVE MEMBER EVEN IF I AM ALREADY IN THE US. I WOULD CERTAINLY NEED UPDATES AGAIN WHEN I START THE NEXT STEP OF THE JOURNEY-AOS, ETC.

SO A BIG HUG TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE WHO HAVE HELPED ME AND MY HUBBY....YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!

I THANK THE LORD MOST ESPECIALLY FOR BLESSING ME WITH FRIENDS LIKE YOU. TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS US ALL!!

I am glad to see nobody else has had to wait as long as us. It appears my suggestion to call DELBROS to verify transfer is helping.

Thanks for your suggestions edp333...it has helped us a lot in following up our visa processing...God bless you!
