  1. Come on everybody lets let him/her know how bad our education system is :pop:

    That is not what i was hoping to know looking_up- if you got nothing to response in this post-that's fine.I certainly dont need to hear anything crappy about the Philippines-not worth of my time.

    By our I mean the USA. There is alot here on the left that are more than willing to point out the flaws of the USA, thats what I was referncing too. As far as our educations system here in the USA, it sucks, compared to the Philippines uh I dont know, my wife is one smart woman thanks to her upbringing and the education system.

    I just needed an exact or approximate answere to my question for those who know.Thanks anyway.

  2. your Philippine diploma is = to an American diploma.

    i don't think looking was taking a swipe at the PI. i think it was more at the US education system...which isn't all that good.

    Well i think it'ss not how bad the system is-it's always up to the person and im so aware of that.Anyway,thanks for the straight answer to the post

  3. I AM NOT ABLE TO APPLY MY SSN YET SO I GOT MY SELF AN ITIN SO MY HUSBAND CAN CLAIM ME ON HIS TAX RETURN WHICH WORKS FINE-APPARENTLY MY 2 CHILDREN

    CANNOT APPLY FOR ITIN COZ OF THEIR LENGHT OF STAY AND THEIR NOT MY HUSBANDS BIOLOGICAL KIDS BUT DEFINITELY CAN CLAIM THEM FOR NEXT YEAR AND SO ON.

    ANYWAY SINCE THEIR MINORS (10 & 12) AND THERE'S NO WAY THEY WILL BE WORKING OR LOOKING FOR A JOB HOW CAN WE GET THEM SSN?DO THEY NEED THE EAD

    ALSO?WE WILL SUBMMIT OUR AOS VERY SOON AND THIS EAD AND HOW TO GET MY KIDS THE SSN IS AN ISSUE.HOPE SOMEONE COULD ANSWERE THIS FOR ME.

    THANKS A LOT!

  4. I'm back but with a different name..Anyway,were getting ready to send out our AOS application-the question is-i recently renewed my kids passport(we have it now)do we

    need to send a copy of the new passport with the old passport that contains the visa and entry stamp?Thanks

    copies from the passport that possesses the visa is needed... copies of the new passport is not....

    Now i have to figure out which one is which..hehehe..Anyway,thanks a lot guys!

  5. It did have some good entertainment value, but on that point, I am EXTREMELY bored and nothing is on the tv. :dance:

    Ang hirap sa inyo,masyado kayong mga judgemental...as in perfect mga pagkatao nyo...she's probably doing a terrible choice sa life nya but lets be considerate-in the first place it's her life and not ours-Why can't we be all gratefull na we're here in America having the good time our life with our loveones-but instead we focus on this kind of immaturity.We all made bad choices and there was a time that we asked someone to help us and give us advice.Ang gagaling ng mga pinagsasabi nyo regarding sa post ng pinay na'to...so,now you're thinking you're cool and impressive????I dont think so!But yeah,she didn't respond to any of this mga ' PERFECT AT MAGAGALING'..which is a good thing for her not to REPLY,in the first place...I wasn't gonna get my self into this post but as i go over readin the replies-it was dissapointing If you have nothing to say or at least some good and polite advice..just SHUT UP!

  6. Hi.....i need your advice friends in here.... or im about curious about the K-1 visa

    CLYN MY DEAR,YOU NEED TO DEFEND YOUR SELF ,IT'S AMAZING YOUR POST GOT 7 PAGES OF REPLIES PROBABLY IN JUST A SEC,-WHEREAS MY POST ABOUT TAX RETURN

    HAS BEEN TOTALLY IGNORED AND DIDN'T GET MUCH OF HELP.ANYWAY,I THINK YOU DESERVE A LIL CONSIDERATION IN HERE ESP FROM OTHER FILIPINAS

    I THINK YOU PUT YOUR SELF INTO THIS HOLE AND YOU NEED TO PULL YOURSELF OUT OF THERE.THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU NOW AND NOT YOUR BF'S

    YOU'RE GETTING NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS IN HERE WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE-YOU MADE A CHOICE GIRL THAT IS WHY YOU'RE STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW

    MY ADVICE IS TELL YOUR FIRST BF'S TO CANCEL THE PETITION AND TELL HIM EXCATLY WHY-AND BEFORE YOU SAID YES TO THE SECOND BF,MAKE SURE

    IT'S OVER BETWEEN YOU AND THE FIRST ONE AND MAKE YOUR SELF SURE TOO THAT THIS SECOND GUY IS WHO YOU WANT.RELATIONSHIP IS NOT A JOKE

    IT HAS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND HONESTLY.AM NOT JUDGING YOU OR WHATSOEVER COZ I DONT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP YOU

    HAVE WITH YOUR FIRST BF-HE'S PROBABLY AN #### AND NOT TAKING CARE OF YOU..YES?WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE OUR PARTNER FOR LIFE

    SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE US HAPPY ETC.....SO YOU NEED TO MAKE A CHOICE THAT YOU'LL NEVER REGRET FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

  7. Hi guys I need help again my status is k3 and k4...I just want to know about my kid, I’m not married before but my kid family name is her dad … do I need to have father consent?

    As long as he didn't sign anything on the kids birth certificate,no consent or anything..I'm also a K3 and K4.I have my other kid named after his biological father,but other kid is using mine although both kids has the same father.

    Hello guys thanks for the replied I really appreciate for that ….u know her dad he signed at the back of her birth certificate ( acknowledgement) .when she was born my child using my name but when the law was change that illegitimate child can use the family name of her dad ..So We filed a first endorsement to transferred to her dad’s name so that’s why she using her dad name...but u know even we broke up her dad he didn’t abandon her his still supporting our kid. My question …… do u think I will ask for father consent? But he has passport now...Our interview is very soon do u think the consul will ask about that?

    Please help me what’s the best thing to do

    thank you

    I think it's better if u go ahead and get your child's father's consent,have him sign it infront of a notary public...

  9. My husband and i are wondering if he could include me and my 2 children as his dependents,we've been here in the US for 4 months as K3 &K4..I still dont have SSN

    for we haven't apply our AOS yet,Is there any option.And how can my children obtain thier SSN?husband will get his tax return ready soon...If someone out there has

    knowledge about this matter please advice..Thanks a lot

    If you were married in 2008, then you and your husband can file a joint return. There are a few things you have to do extra, and there are a few threads around here on VJ telling you how to do it. Mainly, you need to make a statement asking to be treatied as a resident for tax purposes for the entire year of 2008, and declare the worldwide income in 2008, for both spouses. You can probably exclude what you earned in the Philippines, there is a form for that. The instructions should be included in the 1040 family packet you received from the IRS in the mail.

    I know someone will flush out the rest of the details here on VJ, I am sure. Try the Wiki on the top of the page.

    --Bullwinkle

    P.S. You should be able to visit your local SSA office to get your SSN or ITIN your husband needs to file the tax return.

    well,we arrived here early October 2008,should that count?

  11. my hubby filed in I-130 last october.but we got confused because i read on some websites that IR-1 is applicable only to those couples who've been married for atleast 2 years.n that my hubby needs to file another packet of papers before that gets approved,called I-129f.but he said that's a fiance visa paper.

    we've been married for 7 months now n i have a kid from a past relationship n i would be happy if im gonna be able to take her with me to the states....

    pls help! tnx in avance!

    That's true. 4 months after i and my husband got married,he applied I-130 for me and each for my 2 kids and 1-129F petitions only for me-kids are not supposed to be included on the

    I-129F Both petitions were approved all at the same time.We were on a K3,K4 visas,everything went smooth only it took long but we're already here in the US.

  15. let me know if you guys comin to Tampa for the phil-fest.

    That would be awesome Ianne but unfortunately,i dont think none of my friends over here in Jacksonville neither i am could make it-everybody is busy doing our

    own lil things.But,more festivals coming up-so we'll see! Enjoy :dance:

  16. Hello Vj'ers ,

    Hope you will not get tired of answering my questions. I am removing my condition on June 2009 and my Philippine

    passport will expire on Dec 2009.My question is:

    1- Do i need to renew my passport? since i will be filing my I-751?

    2- And how true it is that personal appearance is needed to renew the passport . I am in Georgia and will have to

    travel to Washington DC to renew if needed?

    Thanks so much for any ideas.

    Is this you Ver?

  17. I am really worried.

    St Lukes did not keep Shir's passport at the end of the first day. Nothing was said about something being wrong but she still has her passport.

    Is this a problem?

    How many people kept their passport till the second day??

    Shir says she is scheduled to return for shots, she will get 3, I am thinking this is a good thing.

    She is really depressed right now and I can't think of anything to say that would cheer her up...

    :crying::crying::crying::crying:

    St Lukes never keep any passports...they always hand it to the applicant at the end of the day or whenever you're done with the tests.

  18. I just wanna rant and vent!! 0002018E.gif

    Husbie was able to get a hold of USCIS representative after several attempts and as usual she told my husbie whatever it is that we already knew! Useless!!! She even told my husbie that we need to wait for another 94 days because we are not yet out of processing times! 00020309.gif

    I hear you sis..we waited for 15 months total..Just keep loving and trusting each other--you'll be fine..Godbless

  19. Analyn should be here near the end of March 2009. Thanks for the link to PhilFest in Tampa. I would love to take her over there for that.

    We are in the Melbourne area, also known as the Space Coast. I have not seen too many VJers from this area, but we do have a decent Pinoy store up in Cocoa.

    Good luck to everyone on their continuing journeys!

    Would be great if you take her over here in JAX...we'll be right here

  20. are they gonna interview my kids during the interview too? Ages 13 and 7. What are the possible questions they'll gonna asks them if ever? I'm just worried coz they don't speak English well. Would it be bad if they can't answer some?

    They might but i dont think they will ask the kids..mine weren't question at all..i have 9 & 12..just tell them to behave-and mouth zip..LOL..Goodluck

  21. its me again,

    i got another question guys. i hope someone can help me. we get the ds 157 from the bank right? i have answered the form online. can i just attach the validated ds 157 form to the ones i answered online?

    another thing is, i have my kids coming with me and in question 17, since they are still in grade school do i just leave it blank or put NA? thanks again friends. god bless

    You've got to use the form DS-157 that will be given to you at the bank-for you and for your kids-those are machine validated-have it checked at the back portion of the

    form before you leave the counter.Question #17 it's N/A...

    Btw how old are your kids?mine are 9 and 12-they like it here in the US though-they adopt pretty much of everything here very easy.Goodluck sis

    hello sis,

    thank you so much for the advice. you have been such a big help to me. i got three kids coming with me and they are 15,10,9, respectively. they are so excited already and cant wait to board the plane and feel snow! wow! i just pray to god now and ask HIM to grant us this wish and allow us to have a new life in america with my beloved fiancee and his two sons. god bless! thanks again.

    The answer is yes. You can attached the DS-157 with the receipt stamped on it to one of the two DS-157 forms you already have filled out. Or, you can fill out the DS-157 with the receipt stamped on it and turn it in with one of the DS-157 forms you have filled out.

    Either way works.

    thnak you so much for the reply. god bless.

    YW..Wow..sounds like a big family coming up...i have 1 step son-easy to adjust on him coz he's only 8-Goodluck sis and to you kids..they will really like it here for sure.

  22. Hello everyone,i think i asked this before\ but i would be calling South Fl Philipine Consulate regarding this matter but i'd like to hear

    replies from VJ.Anyway,my concern is,daughter's passport is about to expired on Feb 5th and son is Oct 14,2009-We're planning to apply our AOS this coming March.

    According to RP Consulate here in Florida,it will takes 8-12 weeks before we actually receive the new passport.

    1.Could we just just go ahead and apply the AOS using

    the expired passport and use the new passport later during our biometrics or interview?Would there be a problem?

    2.What if it's time for interview and son's passport is almost expired,what would be the concern there?-since renewal of passport takes forever

    Hope someone could give me some positive feedback or at least a hint..Thanks
