Can someone please tell me the phone number to do follow up on your case . And the best time to call from Lupon Davao Oriental to Manila . Thank you

hi there..just want to know ask if you got your visa na?

As most of you know, I got here in the US on December 2008 on a K1 visa. Me and my fiance got married on January 25, 2009. Unfortunately or fortunately I got pregnant and now I on my way to 3rd month. In some ways I say unfortunately because I am having a hard time getting sick and my husband doesn't understand that. I learned some things I don't like about him that I never knew before we got married. Now, I wanna back out because it seems like I am not happy with him anymore because of his attitude and I have to swallow my pride most of the time. Is there anyway for me to stay in the US if our marriage doesn't work out? If there's none I guess I would still love to go back to the Philippines. At least there I have my family who could take care of me while I am carrying this baby. To those who have a child I know that you can sympathize with me. It's not easy to deal with pregnancy sickness and I need my husband to be supporting me and understanding me and help me on this but this doesn't seem to be the situation right now. Now, I don't know what to do. Please help.... thanks....

I didnt know how old you are now and your fiance but it will be of help if you would vent out your feelings to your husband.Honesty is still the best policy.Marriage entails a lot of work and for now since you just got married and got pregnant-i know YOURE BOTH ON THE ADJUSMENT PERIOD AND IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THE BAD TRAITS of your husband-whatever it is..YOURE VERY SENSITIVE NOW BECAUSE OF ALL THE CHANGES IN HORMONES THAT TAKES PLACE IN PREGNANCY..PLease realized that yyoure married to someone who is not from here meaning there would be cultural differences and you should lay all your cards on the table to your husband. I suppose you both planned this pregancy right? You are now married and I know you LOVED YOUR HUSBAND THE REASON WHY YOU MARRIED HIM RIGHT..SO MAKE IT WORK AND PRAY AND TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND WHAT YOURE GOING THRU..IT WILL DEFINETELY HELP IT IF YOU WILL COMMUNICATE WITH HIM THRU YOUR HEART...SAY WHAT YOU FEEL TO HIM AND HOW YOU WANTED TO BE LOVED MORE AND SUPPORTED BECAUSE YOURE PREGNANT...Godbless and dont make hasty decisions..

Take care and take your vitamins..PRAY AND TALK TO GOD.

Please I do not want any one to jugde me for no reason... All I am asking for is a piece of advice on what to do right now...I created this new account to remain anonymous.

Ok my wife is crazy, yes she is crazy, we met online back in 2004 everything was going good we were both loving it all that in a nut shell we decided to get married, when I gat over here I found out a lot of things that she didn't tell me. Ok first of all she didn't tell me she has a mental disorder called Schizoprenia not until I experience one of her episodes and that was like 10days after I gat over here, I didn't like what I saw. I confronted her about it and she told me she didn't tell me because if she had told me I might not have married her...

Now we have been leaving together now for 2years and its been one problem to another, everything that we do is what she tells her mum is like I am married to her mum cus her mum makes the decison for her, when I say everything I mean everything she even tells her mum if we made love with or without a condom.....Also I'd like to ask y'all if you are married is it true that you can't make friends with the opposit sex ??? Because thats what her parents says, that I shouldn't hang around with single men, we are both young under 25...............Her family sees me as a bad guy which I am not, they have a problem with the way I dress who I talk to and who I don't talk to and also wants me to take her everywhere I go like if I had to run to store I have to ask her would you like to come I agree take her places but everywhere ???or if a friend says come hang out with me I must take her along....You can imagine she doesn't have friends, don't have a liecense, she always in the house, now this is not my fault that she doesn't have friends or liecense but for some reasons she thinks its my fault

The point I am trying to make her is that there is no trust between us two, she and her mum always thinks I am cheating on her and its not like she has ever caught talking to some girl. OK there is guy she said she's "working" for and all that and the calls her like every 2hrs even up to 1AM in the morning and she will be on the phone with him, I never questioned her or anything because I do trust her, but why is it so hard for her to trust me.....I have to talk to her like I am talking to a 6yrs old girl .This is not the first time this is happening.... She always says I don't talk to her and I spend more time with my friend than I do her which is a fat lie, whenver I say something to her she doesn't give me a good advice and this is because of her disorder like if I need to talk to my wife about anything I can't because it's like talking to a brick wall and whatever I say don't say this to anybody this is between you and I and I want it to remain a secret, the first things she does is call her mum and tell her mum what I say DO NOT TELL ANYONE, she does something bad in a minutes and the next minutes she turns around and I say I don't remember saying or doing that .. I am honestly tired of this married, this isn't what I signed up for, the mistake we both made was when she came to visit me back in Africa she only stayed for 8days that didn't give me time to know her very well in person and what she does and stuffs.... I really don't know what to do at this point and everything I say complain about something she's doing or not doing her mum will say because I have my green card now that's why I am saying that and honestly its not...... Not only I am not happy with marriage my life is in danger too because her sister threatened me that she will get someone to iron me out...its obvious I am living among people that don't like me and before things gets outta hand or anyone gets hurts I want to be out of here, I am so far away from home and I have a family that loves me so dearly..... There are lots of things I'd like to put down here, I am not myself right now

If you were in my shoes what would you do... I am only 24yrs old

hi there

after reading your letter and your sentiments and worries.I would say that youre still concern about your wife and to tell you the truth -I DONT THINK SHE HAS SCHIZOPHRENIA..coz the patients with such mental illness doesnt even recognize they are sick meaning-THEY ARE ON DENIAL THEY ARE SICK WITH SUCH ..Youre both young yes and youre definitely confused..MARRIAGE ENTAILS A LOT OF RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT JUST ANOTHER FAIY TALE STORY...You have to talk to a doctor and check all her medications if she is taking any and talk to her in private and ask her what is bothering her and her concerns also..you dont solve the problem by escaping from it..TRY TO FIX IT FIRST AND REMEDY IT AND GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCEAND TIME..and most of all ..PRAY AND ASK FOR WISDOM..

Godbless

Hello, VJ Friends! It`s been a while that I haven`t posted here. I`m finally back now. I`m now here in USA (Michigan) we arrived here with fellow (VJ Friends- Sweetybabe) she was in Chicago right now. I`m happy and contented that I `m with my fiance now soon to be husband on (March 28) our wedding date. I`m bless to have a good sister in law and parent`s in law although I haven`t meet them since they are in Tennessee they make sure to always call me here in the house. Asking if I`m fine here , if I am not feeling cold and If I have something to eat that I like, because I don`t like much the food here, they are salty, sweet and all processed food.

When I arrived here my fiance had 4 days leave from his work and now that he is back to work last Monday. I`m always alone here in the house. My companion is our only dog Abby. A nice boxer dog , always guarding me and protecting me here whenever she heard something diff. she would always bark and after would go back to her seats.

I `m just one week here to be exact today. But the weather has been affecting me here, Michigan is a cold state and I would probably say that I don`t like the cold season here. I have few photos from the snow just to show to my family in Philippines what kind of environment I have here. But frankly I am not really enjoying the weather here.I don`t have high tolerance in cold season.Every time we go out I would always wear a thick high thermal jacket and the car should always be in a warm temperature. Nothing to do but to accept what`s really in store for me here. I feel sad being alone here . I do a lot of computer thing not to get bored but sometimes would walk around the house and look out the window outside. Sad thing, no people in the streets. It`s gloomy always. It`s a total change for me from culture, weather, environment, food, language, etc. I love my fiance and being here is a big sacrifice for me. How I wish I can go back soon there in Philippines and enjoy the tropical weather with my family and friends.I miss my family and friends there! Oh, I love Philippines!

Until here! and for those who are still in the Philippines. Enjoy every minute of your life there with you family and friends. You will miss that if you are already here in the USA.

Good luck to those who are still waiting and keep it up!

More power to all VJ community and May God bless us all!

Hi there

I would agree to what you said about adjusting there in the states.i will soon be there -just waiting for my visa delivery.My interview was last feb 13 and it all went well ..ALL MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERE..I know that we will all miss our life here -our family -our careers we left behind-the comfort zones of having a maid and a driver here and a mom who adores us. I will surely miss that but as I have told my students and my dean in the college of nursing that I am leaving behind a rewarding career in the university to be with the man that I truly adore and he is all worth the sacrifices that I will do and I think whethere we are married to a filipino or american who lives there -what matters is the CHOICE THAT WE HAD TO BE WITH THE MAN WE ADORED AND WE PRAYED FOR..It is all going to be fine with us all women who joined and who will joined oour husband and future partner to start a lifetime of togetherness..I just want to share my life verse...found in JEREMIAH 29:1111 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...I always utter this everytime i feel sad or upset...GOD KNOWS WHAT IS REALLY BEST FOR US...

I know the feeling of being away from our loved ones.It is daily agony but it pays once your done with your medical and interview. The only questions asked from by the lady american consul at room 27 was my petitioners bday and his sons and the date of his divorce and how long he stayed here and what are our plans for marriage and then she saw all the pictures and said that we look good together she wished me more love more happines and more life as couple.. and after that 4 minute interview.she said congratulations and call my fiance na because we will soon be together. My prayers were all answered coz i only asked for a less than 5 minutes interview and that is what God granted me...IT WAS REALLY AMAZING HOW GOD CAN WORK IN MANY MYSTERIOUS WAYS...GODBLESS AND GOD SPEEND ..JUST REALXED AND PRAY AND SING ...HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU..WILL BE FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT...

Hi!

I don't know if anyone of you experienced this. I was fixing the pictures that I will present on my interview next week and suddenly I felt like crying. I've known my husband for almost 11 years now. We've been in a relationship for 5 years when he moved to US then we're married for 2 years now. I've been looking at our pictures together from high school, college and then his most recent vacation here. I couldn't believe that we're almost at the finish line (that's how he quote this whole ordeal). I am so excited right now. He is also. We've been chatting often now since I just resigned from work and I have more time to go online. We thought we won't be able to see this day coming. But we are almost there and it is such a great relief. I know that the interview is going to be great next week. No worries from us although i'm a bit anxious to get this over with. Please pray for us because it's been so hard for us being away for 5 years and even going into a long distance marriage. I even told my hubby awhile ago, "you know what, I'm ready to spend a lifetime with you." It's weird because we've been married for 2 years now and it was just awhile ago that I feel we are just going to start a new life together.

hi there yna.Its really amazing how preparing for interview esp me on Feb 13 for k1 could bring back all the wonderful memories how I fell In love with my future husband and youre right..I was reading all our emails how we first started getting to know each other and the pictures when he was still here and when he went back in Florida last year and now were almost here on the final process of our visa journey.I still cry and cry everytime i read our emails together and our pictures ..Its NOT EASY BEING AWAY FROM HIM FOR 8 months na but I KNOW THAT GOD TAKE CARE AND BLESS THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOWS HOW TO WAIT. I REALIZED THAT THE BEST THING IN A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP IS THE WAITING TIME--COZ ITS A SURE REWARD OF LIFETIME OF BEING TOGETHER WITH OUR SOULMATE....I LONGED FOR THE DAY I WILL BE WITH MY FUTURE HUSBAND NEXT MONTH. My long wait is going to be finally Over soon..

Godbless

This thought also came to my mind 'coz I got denied for tourist visa way 2001 when I was supposed to attend my aunt's wedding. But as long as this relationship is genuine, I am keeping myself positive on this. Glad this issue has been brought out, makes me confident and worry free. Thanks.

hi there

KUDOS ..WOW I AM GOING TO HAVE MY INTERVIEW ON FEBRUARY 13 AND I AM ONLY PRAYING FOR A PINK SLIP TOO!!!!

MIDGE

Why would you want your friend to work it out with a deceptive man such as this? Who gives a flying rats you-know-what about what happens to him, but she needs to be able to move on in life and hopefully find someone that can treat her with respect. She should do what she needs to do to achieve her own personal success.

Thank you for pointing that out of my wishing... I am going to forward this input from you guys .

Riza

I know the hardest part in a failed relationship is LETTING GO. Your friend doesnt deserved what happened to her and this is an obvious case of DECEPTION AND CHEATING AND IT WILL GO ON IF SHE WONT GIVE HIM UP.Talk to a lawyer or call 702 DZAS -they have christian lawyers that could her help figure out what case to file agaisnt him and she needs counselling too. 702 DZAS is an am christian radio stattion .

Godbless

I feel so sorry of your friend.The husband is lying. He just want to get her lost. You can't just marry in the Philippines without showing to the US embassy your divorce paper.I dont understand people. Why would she wait for him or hope that the marriage will work ? She needs to move on with her life and she doesn't deserve having such kind of ******hole. It is up to her if she will sign it. I dont think she will have a happy marriage being with a cheater and a liar husband.

Hi there

I read your freinds story and this is really sad that it happened to her after waiting for a year. We women have instinct and I believed your friend may have noticed this when they were still communicating . She maybe wants to let him go now but not decided if because of DENIAL and ACCEPTANCE that the man he thought he loved and married will do this to her. I emphatized with her and If i am in the same situation. I know its hard to let go but putting things in a legal way would be the best solution for . Filipinas are known to be a fighter and very strong willed woman.Tell her that God IS THERE IN HER TIMES OF WEAKNESS...AND GOD SHOULD BE HER REFUGE NOW.. PRAY FOR A VERY GOOD LAWYER AND I KUDOS TO YOU FOR ASKING FOR AN ADVISE FOR YOUR FREIND TO HELP HER EMOTIONALLY....SHE IS NOT ALONE IN THIS BATTLE..

GODBLESS YOU RIZA.

Sorry Tallcoolone, I don't have a specific link but I garnered this information from reading nurses forum like this:

Take note of Mobiusrain reply #12 page 2

If you want verification, just contact PRC international affairs office. Here's the website:

http://www.prc.gov.ph/

Got to hit the book seriously...Go Pinoy RNs

You are a US citizen & not a dual citizen of the Philippines that's why you're not permitted by Philippine law to take the local exam

Do you have a link or website that links to this, So I can read more about it

HI Ridion..I checked your website about nursing 3500..wow i didnt know that this site exist..its really nice learning new websites from colleagues..thanks so much for sharing it to us..

hi alienlovechild...im sure you will pass...no doubt about it. I don't even how i did it!

Just take your time. I had to take a lot of deep breaths since i felt that my heart was

racing while i was sitting to take the test...and i wanted to relax. Last night i couldn't

sleep thinking how i did it...asking myself if this is for real! I was totally convinced

i didn't make it but i guess, sometimes, we just have to have trust in ourselves.

We almost do better than what we think!

Goodluck and if there's anything i can be of help...i have lots of cd's..just email me.

Peewee

calling all filipina nurses taking the nclex soon...let's help each other...give tips on how to pass the nclex! GO RN PINOY

hi Taj

I am currently reading NSNA and this is what i used in giving my post tests to my students. Im clinical instructor so medyo im able to review using my book and same time helping the senior students for their board exam and their plans to take the nclex also. Its fun teaching and helping out students. I admit that way back in my college days -i never got to read or encounter the rare disorders esp the ones only found in the USA .Attached also is the link on texas sample nclex questionaires. I understand also that it varies the content of the nclex from state to state. http://www.texas-nursing-schools.com/NCLEX...e-Questions.php

Godbless and Godspeed on your NCLEX

hi,

I would like to ask since k1 visa is considered to be a non-immigrant visa that requires to use the DS-157 and DS 156 forms, I assume the same goes for the tourist visa applicants. My question is, my interview will most likely be next month or by march, I want to bring my dad and my brother (who has a photography business) to the US to be there on my wedding day. Do you think it is alright to bring their DS 157 and DS 156 together with their passports during my interview day and once approved, can I ask the consul if I can bring them with me when I leave for US and give them their application forms for a tourist visa application?

thank you,

HI..JUST CURIOUS..WHEN DID U GET YOUR MNL CASE #?RE YOUR QUESTION ABOUT BRINGING YOUR DAD AND BROTHER WITH YOU ..I WAS ALSO PLANNING TO GET MY MOM APPLY FOR HER TOURIST VISA-SHES 70 NA KASI AND SHE HAD GREEN CARD NAMAN BEFORE PERO SHE DIDNT HAD ENTRY IN THE STATES FOR LONGER TIME.. I THINK ITS OK NAMAN AS LONG THEIR TOURIST VISA WILL BE APPROVED..

midge

i suggest that if you have the US nursing license already...just go for it...apply for the job as an RN! no need to do something else for experience blah blah...

the only reason why i am doing this is because my sister did not want me to bum around the house and just study (which is very mean to do) ...she said i needed to get a job not just to earn money...but for the health insurance too and benefits which are important when you live here in the United States...

i work part time only anyway...

Hi Taj

Im currently working in a univerisity here and teaching nursing students.My question is -is it true that if I have teaching experience here -will it be easier for me to teach there also? Me and fiance are just waiting for the mnl case # and after that i will get my medical and interview and im lookingprobably leaving here to join him before end of february-GODWILLING. He lives in florida and I plan to work when i am adjusted na after our wedding na lang when im not stressed out anymore.I know i need to retake my nclex before i can teach..i dont prefer bedside nursing anymore.What about my masteral..will be honor it there?

Thanks and Godbless..

Midge

[color=#FF00FF]hi there to all filipinas living in florida. I will be living with him in jacksonville. It will be nice to get to know fellow kababayans. BTw.any Nurses also here .coz i plan to re take my nclex most probably this year..tentatively june or july when i am ready na..[/color]

Congratulations on your interview. Me and my fiance are preparing now for the papers because we got our NOA2 last january 13 via his email. I got some questions re the I-134 affidavit of support form on question number 11. What is the correct answer on that question. Thanks and replies will be greatly appreciated.
