tinuod jud mo mga sis, 3 weeks pa gani ko dire pero gamay ra jud bikil oi mapungot na jud daun ko sa ako bana, agi siguro sa kamingaw, usahay ako baya pod i-control ako pagkamaldita, pero dah kini man gud pod mga kano oi makapungot jud ila style. as in lahi ra jud. ako di man gud ko ganahan ana wakat ang balay, unya kay kini ako bana hinaykan ka burara! bisag asa ra ipamutang ug itongtong iya mga butang maglagot jud ko. mapungot ko sige sunod sa iya mga kalat. hehe pero if makasabot sya nga napungot ko mg binut-an ra bya pod sya. kay ako ug maglagot dili jud k makig tingog bahala kang banaha ka diha! so magpa luoy luoy man daun sya so maluoy na lang pod ko. hehe lets admit it naa jud ta pagkamaldita mga Pinay usahay. dili mag pa alkanse. mingaw pod sa family sa Pinas, pero love jud kaayo nako ako bana so tunlon na lang pod nako ang kamingaw. Kaya natin to!

Pastilan pagkahalinon gud diay ning mga bisdak.Adjustment to your new life being married especially sa mga puti is not easy pero kinahanglan gyud ta mag pasensya ug TALK talk talk,,be open and communicate with our hubby mao ra gud na ang importante kay wala gud na sa ila nang ato batasan na mag pa luod luod ug maghulat ta na mangamo ato bana sus! wa gud tawon na sa ila mao btaw sayon ra nila ang pag divorce kay wa sila anang mag pa sensya or mosakay sa ato mga drama.

Ako sa una d man gud malikayan naay lalis ginagmay pero I have learned my lessons..communication ra gud diay ang way para magkasinabtanay. We need to learn how to listen to be heard.Anyway am a happy mom. wife and businesswoman ug wa ko makaabot ug america d ko ma negosyante..it's fun though making money while staying home lang.

I am about to submit the AOS package. Does anybody know if regular personal checks accepted by USCIS, or do I have to get money order/cashier's checks for them?

thanks!

Personal checks is okey.

i miss my family my friend...i miss home.....i miss being me.....

Do something to keep you busy. Read books , or make friends. I never felt homesick since i got here..got lots of friends and besides having your family their own computer at home is easier for you to talk and see them anytime you want to.My kids are still in the Philippines but i talk to them,see them and keep in touch with them whenever they can.I have a beuatiful 5 months old baby now too that keeps me busy.

YouandDan..

thank you for your immediate responce on my post!

i do really appreciates it much!!

I have so many problems here, to tell you frankly!

the reason I want my Husband to file AOS for me before my visa expires is that I do really wanted to get working permit and find a job

for he doesn't gives me my needs.. he is so dang insensitive! but his mom does! maybe I should marry his mother than him?!

his mom is the one proving me all my needs, warm clothes for it is so dang cold here now! and he is a freaking Mama's Boy!

I didn't know this until I arrived here.. I felt like am his maid, sex slave rather than his wife! I did asked him about his salaray, the house bills

and things that a couple must share! but he didn't still tells me! I asked him that I will just go home rather than to be his made and sex slave!

mas mabuti pa nga maid may sahod at masbuti pa nga ung mga babaeng parausan may income pa while me?! ####!

there are so many things I don't like him but I did pursue to marry him for I thought that my love for him will make him change! he is lazy as ####!

right now, he is snooring so lound and didn't go to work and he just told me alibis!!

thanks for your help but I still need more advices or someone i can talk to! i don't have friends here for I can't go any places..

So sad that you been married for a few weeks now and he is showing aleady his true colors which is really good.Try to talk to him again and give him a chance to change if he is willing. IF NOT then go on.. move on he is not the only fish in the ocean. PRAYERS works.

So sad about your situation.As long as you got married within the 90 days period don't have a problem in your AOS . I filed for AOS 7 days after we got married and that was 3 weeks after i got here. Before anything else i have a kumare in Idaho if you need someone to talk to,,just not sure where you in Idaho. Some men don't give you material things .lucky are those who's husbands provide their wife's needs like me. My husband not only provide for me but for my whole family as well in the Phils.

I am a stay home mom(by choice) and yet I don't need to go out to work and make money. I do have home business on Ebay that i make money kahit papaano kaysa wala.

You should do things to make money like sell stuff online ,,,you can ship the item just right from your home(no need of going to the Post office).

A couple should talk,,listen and compromise each other. I do think you still need to talk to him about sharing with you all about your finances.That is your right as his wife.Never NAG..it won't do you any good.

Let him know you deserve to be treated as a wife. In our situation since my husband is the one working..his money is our money..my money is our money so i guess you just have to kick his *** and tell him.. ME or your MONEY??/

I have another question that confuses me. If my two kids will be here soon next year (I-130) Do they have to adjust their status too like me?(K1)..If so,, how long after they get here should they adjust their status?

Pls. Help so we can prepare the finances in advance. Just wanna make sure i am informed about this.

Thanks in advance.

HELPPP! Didnt get any replies to my question.

HELPPPP! still no reply on this topic??

But the thing I dont like in moneygram is that in every one dollar you received they get 1 piso.

Like for example the exchange rate today is 47 pesos but when you received the money

The exchange rate will only be 46 pesos. Try to observe that!

The difference is not that much..just a few cents..and if you think of the charge difference and the rate difference,, to sum it up..it's just the same with western..like i said this is just my own opinion based on experience as i have been using moneygram for 5 yrs now and my mom gets d money in minutes as matter of fact after i send her the moneygram # she is just right there waiting for the cebuana to open and there was never a problem...i think it also depends on the location of the moneygram.

there is the most cheapest way to send money,i opened an account in here.and i sent atm plus PIN no. to the philippines

and they can withdraw money anytime they want,and by using internet i can transfer how much amount of money i want to the account they are using in the philippines....

i dont pay for transfer and in every transaction or withdrawals they wont charge me for anything.........

i didnt pay for anything.............

Yes that would work too,,but I don't want anyone to have an access to my account even my mom..lol she would not be in control of taking money out of my account to spend shopping..lol .Old folks don't like dealing with ATM machines. Besides,, atm can be stolen that's my own opinion.

hi sa lahat i need advice po i just had my interview last dec. 17 and that was my very bad day huhuhu ang sama nong consul ko her question was very personal at talagang pinahirapan nya ako, then after my interview ang natangap ko refusal letter (221)g due to my late registration of my birth certificate oct 14,2002 lang ako naka pa registered sa nso.. and now shes asking me for my old id,s grades school record and my medical/hospital records from pregnancy birth my problem is pinanganak ako sa bahay lang at by traditional widwife lang (HILOT) and patay na sya ngayon at ni minsan daw hindi naka pa check up ang nanay ko sa hospital dahil taga bundok po kami dati walang clinic walang hospital ngayon po wala akong makukuhang record sa hospital kahit ano,, pls i need advice what should i do?

I was also a late registered human being..lol but never had a problem with my interview. If you don't have hospital records get a copy of your late registration at your local Civil Registrar's Office. Get a certification from your barangay chairman who knows your family well that you are a resident and was born in that area.Provide old identifications such as Voter's Id, Postal Id, police Clearance,school records. Even if you are registered late as long as it is already recorded in NSO as late registered still you should have no problem.

.Never had a problem at all even in my AOS and my son's CRBA. Good luck.

I been using moneygram for 5 years now and never had a problem. This is the best and quickest way to send money.It is just like western only it is cheaper. Receiver will get the money in minutes. you can claim it in any PCI, RCBC banks or any cebuana lhullier pawnshops at any day even satrday and sundays.You can send it through Walmart which is 24 hrs. open for $9.46 up to $500.

I can't claim the money that my hubby sent to me...

they said the local bank of xoom here in PI has a problem and I was told that it might a week before I can claim my money... like, #######????

I tried BDO, Cebuana, all of them can't give me my money.

Everytime they are checking my Code, it says no transaction, where in fact, xoom sent an email my hubby said its ready for pick-up!

Been using money gram for years and never had a problem. It's cheaper than any other money transfer and will be received im minutes .It is just like western union only cheaper.You can claim it at the bank or any cebuana lhullier pawnshops at any day.Try money gram..it won't do you any harm.

I have another question that confuses me. If my two kids will be here soon next year (I-130) Do they have to adjust their status too like me?(K1)..If so,, how long after they get here should they adjust their status?

HELPPP! Didnt get any replies to my question.

According to this Link: http://www.nilc.org/pubs/guideupdates/fedpovguide.htm

I think he makes enough money to support all of you guys!

You do not need a co sponsor

Thank you World.. more ideas will be appreciated.

hi to all my family here in VJ,i really need some help.my fiance is coming on next week then he want me to get hotel in manila that very close in airport help me nman kc i dont really have any idea wat hotel i wud get that very close to airport.i been in manila b4 but only in airport for my stop over going to thailand.plsss help me what hotel is very close to airport and not to expensive and very safe to stay..plss help...i need to book soon in online.. ..thanks in advance for the rply..

So many hotels. We stayed in a condotel called citadell in ,,i loved it i was able to cook for my hubby and he eats what i cook...lol.Would be better to book online cause its cheaper.

You should check out the site that shows the current min income requirements for petitioners Wifey ... Search for Proverty guidelines here on VJ or Google it for complete anaslyse on your case ... but from what you stated ... 4 children, plus you =5 dependents so he would need to earn least $30,000.

Thanks Henia,,, more ideas plssss.

Thanks for your response and I was wrong its part 3#1 "other names used".Yes I used my maiden surname as my middle name when I adjusted my status but what did you put in part 3#1?your whole maiden name?including your mothers maiden surname?

Thanks.

What was asked was other names used ,right? SO if you didnt have any then you don't have to put anything on that part or you can put None or N/A.

I would advise you to wait for more response from our other vj members to have more ideas. Two heads is better than one i think.lol.

My Husband will be having four minor dependents soon next year (hopefully) when my two kids are here.My question is Do i need a Co sponsor to get my two kids in the Philippines? My husband is making more than $50 K a year but with us having a new baby and he still support his 13 yr. old daughter.I really am not so sure about the poverty guidelines?

Pls. help...Any ideas will be appreciated.

Hello fellow vj,

I Have concern... i have a friend that file her k1 visa...but she is not register here in vj jouney and she have question that i cant answer..so i am hoping some people can answer her question.she was exposed to a person that carrier and positive to tuberculosis. and wen she went to the doctor for check -up,and she got a skin test and x-ray...she was positive to the skin test and negative to her chest x-ray..is this can affect or detect on her medical ? knowing that she is negative and not contagious?

thanks for all the help

I am sure she will have to undergo treatment before granted a visa.

Hi everybody, i live here in miami florida, and my fiancee is from cebu philippines, she is 2 months pregnant, and i need to send her money. can anyone tell me what is the best way to send money to the philippines? i would like to do it online if possible.

My husband sends me money when i was still in the Philippines and now that I am here in Georgia we are sending my family money every month and since 2003 we been using MONEYGRAM to send money to the Philippines. It is cheaper than any other even cheaper than what was mentioned here. It is not just cheaper but also will receive the money in minutes just like western union.

Cheaper Rate $1- $500 is only $9.46 and receive in minutes just like western union.

Hey guys,

Pls someone shout me what to do next after the NOA2. we recieved the notification on email and the uscis site, do we have to call the NVC?

We are planning to send a letter to the NVC to atleast try to expedite or give us an early interview appointment date becos I'm pregnant, I know it's a very shallow reason but just to give it a try.... there's no harm in trying tho~

pls tell me what to do. i'm 5 months pregnant getting 6 by the end of the month.

thanks a lot.

looking forward to ur response.

I don't think the embassy will give you special treatment just becoz you're preggy. You can still fly even when you are 7 months preggy(depends on the airlines) as long as you can provide a certification that you are healthy.I did travel back to the Philippines wheni was 7 months preggy and brought back my son here in the US at 7 weeks old. Good Luck and Congrats!

Hi to all!

I am preparing my documents for the removal on the conditions on my residency.I wonder if you can help me guys.I dont have a middle name.This is my problem.In Philippines,we usually put our mother's maiden surname if asked about middle name right,that is what we usually do but here in US,its different people usually have middle names so when I got married I changed my last name to my husband's and using my maiden surname as my middle name.Part 4 of I-751 it says put "other names used"what do I put in there?Example,my maiden name is LUISA SORIANO BANDOY(SORIANO is my mother's maiden surname)I put BANDOY in part 1 as my middle name sinced I did it too when I applied for adjustment of status.Should I put it like this in part 4 LUISA SORIANO BANDOY?or LUISA BANDOY?Please need some advise don't want to make mistake.

thanks,

len2

I do have the same situation as yours.Your middle name would be Bandoy just like what you have in your AOS application.

How could they be banned on here if they are posting now, they have to be ok or have their password, makes no sense at all.

PM Captain Ewok and see if he can do something for you.

Yes you are right? I am sure i was'nt banned since I know am a good girl so maybe just me getting old to have forgotten my password, now i have this new name. Thanks to all who replied.

hi happy, next time dont forget your password! lol. hee hee hee

lady23, Eden

Think am gettin' old due to economic crisis..lol
