Sorry for the caps.

Thanks again!

I knew it! Visajourney was such the perfect reference to us through the whole visa process.

You really don't need to spend money on an ATTORNEY!!!

Thank you, guys, for all the advice and help and for always being there for us. Such a great community of people!

Hey guys!

Been awhile since we've been here.

We have a friend that is working on getting his gal here from the Philippines.

We suggested VJ, and when he wanted to ask a question, he was asked "how much

are you willing to pay"?

It's been about a year since we've been here, so I don't know if there has been any changes?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys!

Just want to make sure we're doing everything we're supposed to be doing. Gets kind of confusing in the guides.

My finace is now my wife...Thank you!

She is here with me in the U.S.

We applied for her SSN.

Here is the question.

What is the best way to file for the EAD? (There is an immigration office in Portland that we can go to and we have the wedding certificate).

Is there yet another fee? (Or is it included with the K-1 Visa Application)?

Thank you for all of you guys for helping us get our wives/husbands here and getting people squared away.

Can someone explain the need to arrive any more than about half an hour before your appointment? What's the advantage of waiting longer??

Nothing. All applicants would be led to the waiting area unless if the time schedule is called. When your time is called, that's the time all the applicants would go in line. It is how fast you are to go to the line that will give you the advantage.

If you could visit the Embassy the day before and asked the guards for a possible time to be there, then that would be better. I stayed at Miramar Hotel which was just right across the waiting area for applicants, so I did the inquiry the night before. Both guards suggested I'd show up at 5:45 to 6 since my sched was at 7am. However, I went there as early as a little past 5, but was called at almost 7. When your time is called, be quick in going to the line. It doesn't matter what time you got there, but what matters is how fast you are to be there in the line.

Tip for you: be sure to fill your tummy before running off to the embassy... and tons of PRAYERS! (also prepare for your ID. the guard will ask for it.)

Goodluck!

To all na sumagot:

Salamat ha! I appreciate your answers. Their marriage was doomed even before it started. Alam ko na action speaks louder than words pero sa mundo ngayon e kailangan diba smart ka din. Ewan ko sa kanya... she is helpless because she doesn't want to help herself. Tinanong ko nga siya bat siya nag asawa ng american kung di naman siya masyado marunong mag english.. so sabi niya love niya.. blah blah blah... so ako i suggested ok.. bili ka ng dictionary at mag aral ka. Pero di naman niya ginawa. She spent almost a year in Texas at ganon pa din ang english niya.

Before, nasa states na siya ako nasa Pinas pa she would talk to me online. Sometimes she speaks bisaya which i cant understand. She said they always argue because her husband is alcoholic. He drinks always after work. He talks to a different girl online, He talks to his ex-wife about her being so dumb and that she is just his servant...(they have a kid husband and ex-wife) She sent me the conversations. So ako e nagulat nalang. Sabi pa dun sa conversation... hindi siya nag asawa at siya ay servant lang.

so sabi ko sa kanya magdivorce na kayo and sabi ng husband niya e divorce na daw sila. lol So tinanong ko sya kung may pinirmahan ba siyang any documents. Sabi niya "wala" at sabi pa ng asawa niya na di daw pede ang divorce kasi di daw siya US citizen so annulment nalang daw. Sabi ng asawa tutulungan daw siya sa annulment kung magpropromise siya na wala siyang makukuha na kahit ano. (thats what she told me last night)

I spoke with her husband before and told me how he couldn't stand her kasi nga she is not trying to communicate with him, always argue with him and accusing him a lot of things. Tapos pag nag eexplain daw siya e di naman naiintindihan so he just gave up.

I think they chatted for a year and he visited her in Mindanao... first visit and they got married right away. So, kasalanan nila pareho pero ang tanong ko lang kung pano sila makakapagdivorce? pwede ba yung sinabi ng asawa na "sige tutulungan kita pero walang kang makukuha na kahit ano sa akin" parang di tama lang.

Hindi pwedeng wala siyang makuhang "kahit ano" kapag na-grant and divorce nila. Yung kasamahan ko sa work siya ang nag-divorce sa Pinoy husband niya kasi nga pinakasalan lang siya para ma-petition niya mga magulang niya na nasa Pinas. Noong nakarating na sila dito, her husband started to act indifferent towards her which she hated. She doesn't hang out with losers like him daw. Kaya hayun nag-divorce sila and she got half of everything her husband owns. O di ba ang saya niya? She got half the value of the house, alimony which her ex cannot do everything but to give in kasi nga nakalagay sa batas nila.

Kawawa naman yung friend mo for having a husband which is a loser. Dapat hindi muna siya bumalik sa Pinas para dito na lang sila mag-divorce para naman makuha niya yung dapat sa kanya.

well-said!

i agree with you. the girl shouldn't have gone back dito sa PI. but most probably, she felt there's nothing else she could do and no one else she could be with there aside sa hubby nya, kasi nga she's having a hard time communicating. but anyway, at least she'll get something from the ex-hubby after the divorce. sana she'll hire nalang an English tutor.

What a relief!!! I'm truly happy everytime I hear good news such as this one... I'm happy for you!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Good luck to the rest of the journey...

at my wedding reception all the men were watching the Iowa-Iowa State game in the next room. That included my husband...

omgee this makes me laugh!!!

hi everyone! i just wana ask if it is possible for the petitioner and the beneficiary (i.e. me and my fiance), that after i've been approved for a k1 visa, and have been married as soon as arriving in the us,,could travel in any state like visiting his family in new jersey and my family in maryland?? (we will be living in guam) but as soon as i complete my residency there, we are planning to get jobs in the mainland wherever.. hopefully so we cud be with our families,getting there in a much cheaper and easier way.. il appreciate all ideas and advises.. thank you!!

As long as you have the visa then there'll be no problem touring anywhere around the US. You can even have your POE in any state according to your choice.

Assure her nothing to much worry about as long as your docs are complete. They just ask basic questions. Applying for a job is even harder. lol. But it's just pretty normal to feel worry and tense about the interview. It gave me chill even weeks before my sched; but I was amazed on how easy and smooth it turned out. Goodluck!

But there's just a little problem... Then time we spent together, we didn't really take alot of pics or anything like that We do have some but I don't know if it's enough...

Some will do. What's important is that there's something you can show to them of you and your guy being together. My friend got only 5 and she was approved.

The letter-thing sounds like a good idea.

Certainly it is; so start picking on some emails. Sweet and nice ones are better.

And what's a skype record?

It's a messenger just like yahoo of which you can track records and print of your chat.

Anyway luckily I've called him with my phone alot of times, and my service keeps a log online over all my calls for me, so i don't think that would become problematic.

Good for you!

The thing I'm worried about is just that we didn't really keep boarding passes n such.

The ones you still have in your hands will do. And in your other post you said you've been to the States so the stamps in your passport will be of help.

Anyway I thak you alot for you answers and Im glad you're not judgmental ^^

You're welcome. VJ had played a big part in the success of my getting a visa. It's THE BEST!

Please remember to keep your responses courteous. This site is supposed to offer support to those having problems on their visa journey. If you have nothing helpful to say, then perhaps it is a good idea to say nothing.

well-said!!!

Hi, curious as to the procedure if you fail a medical exam for any reason. Mainly, do they let you know the problem when you go to get your results or do they just give you sealed results, tell you nothing, and you find out at the interview? Would be interested in hearing any info on this experience...

p.s. please forgive my lack of person info, just want to remain anon for a time. Appreciate your understanding.

J.

They will make you aware should there be any health problems. During my medical exam, I over heard the medical attendant talking to the other applicant. The latter was advised to recuperate for she's having a lung problem and she was given a 2-month ample time. The attendant further told her that the interview will be canceled for the moment and will just rescheduled if the lung was cleared.

I hope this info helps.

I'm here again...Need ur help guys...I would like to ask what are requiremtns i need to bring in my medical examination...Aside from USEM letter..Ano ung sinasabi ng ibang vj's na aside from USEM letter ay kasam pa ang Appointment letter..Where i can get that appointment letter...Please help me guys...Wla tlaga ako alam dito...sensya na kau..Hope you help me please....thanks...god bless

The Appointment Letter is the one emailed to you by the USEM. They will email it to you when you've called them for your interview schedule. You'll just print it out and have 2 copies: one for the medical exam, and the other for the interview. You should bring the 2 letters from USEM to St. Lukes otherwise, you wouldn't be allowed to get inside for your med exam.

Good luck! God bless you...
