I don't eat baluts, so I don't encourage my husband to eat and he never tried it.

Phone and utilities bills aren't in both your names?

All of our utility bills aren't name in both of our names. Gas, sewer, and garbage named under my husband's, and electricity and phone bills named under mine. In our case, whoever open the account for utility bills.

Check online, you can find cheaper, though some draw back is long hours of flight and many stop over.

Hi,actually we dont have that much of evidence or proof to pass... since all our bills named to my husband... we are talking about asking a friends who know me to write a letter stating that they know about our marriage... but we dont know how to start the letter ... Sigh.... we also got marriage certificate... childs birth certificate.. insurance card with our names in it... and pictures.... Whatelse do we need to have?

Don't forget your joint tax return, I got rfe when I didn't send it. I didn't sent any letter written by our family and friends that state our marriage situation.

In addition to your proofs

- Driver's license or state id with your current address (both)

- Mails sent by your family or friends address to both of you or either one of you (like Christmas cards or invitations)

- Travel documents that have both of your name (if you travel)

- Documents that stating you are the beneficiary and vice versa.

- In your cover letter, just explain why bills named to your husband

Hi guys..were about to apply for removal of conditions.. can somebody here give us some additional knowledge about the examples of proof on bonafide relationship? Just wanna make sure we can provide all that the immigration needs from us....sigh...

Not really sure what else you need since you didn't state what evidence you already have. Maybe you can post here, what documents you had and then we can give you suggestion what else you need to add for you proof of bonafide relationship.

I only hope they ask the right questions!!!

Hahaha! I did the test quiz on app without studying any citizenship flash cards, I got 8 out of 10. I missed who is the representative of my district and the vice president (apps still using Cheney).

So, I guess Chinook will be fine. 20 mins is enough time.

We are suprised at how fast the naturalization process is moving, compared to all our other dealings with USCIS. She is studying daily and I am quizing her so I don't think there will be any problems. She is using an app on her Android that seems to be helping with the questions. There were several available and most were free. Good luck on the final leg of this journey.

Yep. Apps is a good tool. Even USCIS have its own app. Just need to be updated with rep and sen

I bought mine in the Philippines. But you can order online, just search online.

Nice. That's what I thought for the time frame. If I file this month, I might have interview on my last trimester and worst to have oath taking date around my due date. Thanks for info.

I might send my papers this december, and will have it rolling while I am recovering.

My wife filed her N-400 in May and has an interview scheduled for 6 Aug.

Nice. That's what I thought for the time frame. If I file this month, I might have interview on my last trimester and worst to have oath taking date around my due date. Thanks for info.

I can apply by end of July this year but I am due on December. I want to focus on my pregnancy.

Any idea how long the process? I will prepapre my documents now but will send it after I give birth.

I wonder how much of my 2009 batchmates would like to file or already file for citizenship this year.

I am thinking of filing for citizenship but might just do it next year after I give birth. My husband said he will feel so relieve when I become citizen, so I'll just do it since I really have no reason not to do it right away.

Any unusual preparations you guys want to share? It would be nice to hear.

We included letter from my husband's bank with our k1 petition though my husband's pay stub was more than enough.

Honestly, for me getting pregnant here actually helped. I made some new "mommy friends", and had stuff to do (doctors appointments, hanging out on baby boards online), so I felt less home sick. The cravings were bad, because I missed the "home comfort foods".

Definitely home comfort food esp if you can't wait to have it cook and you really want to eat right away, it's frustrating.

I am really craving for philippine indian mango but nowhere to find here in Missouri.

Yep! Being a busy mom-to-be is really hard but not that bad. I am in my second trimester and working on-shift work. The hardest part for me is the day shift as I get really sleepy after I eat lunch.

First trimester is really really awful, changes in your body, changes on your mood, and most of the time you can't understand yourself. I didn't have morning sickness but I oftern have nausea.

I can't really give good advice as every pregnant woman is different. But once you surpass first trimester, you will feel a bit better. Just take more rest as much you can.

It's a good idea to have cover letter esp if you need to explain a certain situation that can't be explain by just presenting the proof.

When I got rfe, I used the cover letter to explain why we have two home, one home named to my husband and other named to me. It can be misinterpret as living separately, so I have to explain it thru cover letter.

Sharing my experience....

When I first got here June 2009, I was busy preparing for my wedding and then after that doing my AOS. By end of August 2009, while waiting for AOS to get approved, I prepared for my learner's permit and had it before I got my EAD. I started looking for job but not aggressively. I spent most of my time on redesigning our house and learning to drive in the afternoon until I got my green card. I also made myself busy on getting coupons to help us budgetting our grocery expenses. After I got my green card, I started to seriously find work but was always unlucky. My husband got me a dog from the shelter which a great helped for my adjustment. And I love her dearly. Got a part-time by March 2010 and driver's license by May 2010. Started real job in October 2010, also moved to different state. So, it took me a year from my eligibility to work, to get job in my field and be back to my career routine.

Just sharing my experience, hope to inspire some VJ'ers that losing hope in finding job in their field this recession.

Got here June 2009 and allowed to work September 2009, I applied on several jobs but was very unlucky but taking things slowly as I wanted to adapt so well first here in US. I started to learn how to drive by December 2009. Then, financial problems started to creep on us by the start of 2010 and I am feeling anxious of getting job to help for finances. I am getting sad as I wanted to help my husband, so he got me a dog by February 2010, so it will cheer me up and helped me to interact with more people. I got a part-time job March 2010 which I primarily took to help me with my credit score. It didn't help much for our finances but it cheer me up as I talking to more people. When got my driver's license by May 2010, I aggressively looked for a job in my field. I got a couple of interviews but didn't get job. Not getting the job didn't discourage me, instead it gave me more hope that companies considering my qualifications and gave me interviews. Though, of course there was disappointments, I never stopped to send resumes and updated myself for the industry I am trying to get a job. After months and applying to closer state as well, I got job offer in my field by September 2010 but started October. We moved in different state where I got the job.

Aside from determination and perseverance on looking for job, I kept holding on my faith that God is helping me to find job that would be best for me, so whenever I didn't get the job, I told myself that the job wasn't for me though it seemed perfect for me, God have great plan for me, I shouldn't lost hope and I should keep looking.

So, that's my story.

Just sort out your chats and email that did not divulge so much personal information, what important is the time stamp of your conversations.

Just resend again the proofs that you already sent with your original file and send more proofs that showed that you guys are married, like insurances, both of your driver's license or state id, letters that prove you both live in same address, proof of activities that both of you done.

Thats what I did when I got my rfe since they just need more because I sent so few in my original file.

Hey everyone,

I just found out that I am pregnant, which is great! However, there are a lot of complications. I am a full-time graduate student and don't wish to stop, and my husband is deploying in a couple of months. I will be pregnant and alone, which is not something we want. Anyone know where to find a full-time companion/nanny to stay while my husband is deployed and while I'm in school? Anyone have any other ideas? I can't go home though I want to coz my insurance is better here and I'd really like to keep staying in school..

Same dilemma on who's going to help me take care of my infant baby after I give birth since me and my husband both working (we can't quit our job as it pays more than paying someone for childcare, just need trusted one). I searched about au pair but it seems it wasn't offer to Philippines. Any filipino friends around that could render help? That's my best option and since I only need a year at least to leave my baby to childcare center when I have work during day.

I did trust google earth when comes to that. Me and my husband, fiancé then, used to play with it and I did see the surroundings of our condo as well as his car parking before I came here. It also gave me idea the nice places closer to my new home back then.

I agree on attending the interview with the fiancé. Goodluck.
