    I'll have her try this when she wakes,.. Mahalo

    She watched the debate (PBS seemed to remove geo-blocking for that). She knows it's bad. I want her to know it's bad. If TFG wins, I want to relocate to Tahiti. I need her on my side

    Aloha, Dina wants to access US news so when she eventually (looking at you CSC) arrives, she'll have a feel for what she's getting into. Also would give her a chance to be exposed to more English. We are finding that all sites we try are geo-blocked (she was able to watch the debate on PBS however). They must have dropped blocking for that. Thinking about a VPN, but have concerns about the speed of her connection. Any suggestions? Bill and Dina

    i searched and found nothing pertaining to our NOA1 date.
  6. DinaBill
    Hint taken. Mahalo sir
  7. DinaBill
    I see that now. But as we're waiting on our NOA2, I don't see how it pertains to us.
  8. DinaBill
    I completely don't understand what I'm looking at.

    filing group?? where and how?
  10. DinaBill
    For the most part, we have been. When the Sunday email started saying "any day now", we began getting more amped.
  11. DinaBill
    And that was a month ago

    Aloha, Our NOA1 date is May 16. According to processing dates, CSC is processing applications with a NOA1 date of May 28th. Should this be a source of concern?? Bill and Dina

    Is running an ad-free pay-for-use VJ in parallel with this site possible?
  14. DinaBill
    Thank you. I paid for AdBlock Plus and that helped some. The Google Ads are about the worst I've ever seen and they're popping up on more and more sites. How did Google get so deeply engrained in VJ?

    Is it considered safer than in the past?

    Forgive me for being slow. I have a cat of 15 years who is dying of kidney disease. My brain isn't working well now. I have given up on traveling outside the Philippines with Dina till she arrives. Sounds like too much risk and anxiety - neither of which I need now. Now I get more confused. Please strictly critique my assumptions here. Immediately after marriage, we file for AOS (I-485). This make take a year to process. Until approved, Dina cannot travel or work. To get around the wait, we can file an I-765 which will allow Dina to work and an I-131 which will allow Dina to travel. There is more to my question but am I understanding correctly thus far?

    The places I mentioned happen to have beaches (they're all islands). I am not looking for beaches per se. I am a 10 min walk from the beach. More than anything, I want to reconnect with Polynesia. Maui was Polynesia when I moved here. It's now more California. That all said, I feel the consensus is don't risk going elsewhere. We'll find a culturally different place to visit in the Philippines. As I understand, once she arrives, she needs to somehow apply for the ability to travel. Once she acquires whatever she acquires, do all these problems disappear??

    From the VJ K1 flowchart. Items 7 and 8 sound like stuff will be sent to Dina. This is where my concern lies.

    Aloha, I was reading a very old post (2008 I think), and they we're discussing a K1 case being "touched". I read this to mean as something as trivial as it being moved from one bin to another - or it could indicate something more significant. Are "touches" still a thing and it so, how do we know if we been "touched"? Mahalo, Bill and Dina

    I created a USCIS account. I can change my address but not Dina's.
  22. DinaBill
    But won't things be sent to her before the DS-160 comes into play? I'm not knowledgeable about the timing of this stuff.
  23. DinaBill
    Aloha, We received our NOA1 May 14th.. We just received a new approval estimate of August 23rd. Dina will be moving in the next few weeks and the address on the I-129F will no longer be valid. What problems will that cause - if any? Mahalo, Bill and Dina
  24. DinaBill
    Receipt number is the WAC......? Will this tell us when our stuff gets transferred from the lockbox to CA? Mahalo, Bill and Dina
  25. DinaBill
    Mahalo. Your reply was very helpful. Based on what you said, Dina has 0% chance of getting a transit visa. There are other ways she could get to Tahiti but they are long and expensive. You said Tahiti was tough to begin with. Is that because of their French ties, or is that Tahiti being Tahiti? I ask because there are a couple other possibilities that have French ties (Wallis and Futuna, New Caledonia etc..). Would they also be problems?? Fiji was another place we considered. Also, Palau as you can arrive there non-stop from Manila. Mahalo, Bill and Dina
