It's kinda easy journey huh. Congratulations and good luck to both of you on your new life to share with in the US. God bless.

Tuesday afternoon like 1:00 P.M., because by that time there's not much of people coming. Everyone is just waiting for their turn to the different tests. That's my opinion because some of the people I've talked to did that. Good luck and God bless.

Good luck! Check all your documents many many times. My son and I had an 8:30 interview and we were called at 7:05 to be in line. It's better to be there before 7:00 A.M. Relax and everything will be fine.

Congratulations! Have a happy trip

Congratulations and Good luck on your trip to the US.

We had our CFO seminar in South Super Highway and they require us to have a reservation first.

Congratulations and good luck to your new life in the US.

Wow! That's a reflection of how their life in the Philippines is. With that, you can now assess what is your purpose to them. Again, this is a case that leads people to think how we filipinas are. That's a shame and I'm really mad in this type of people. I don't know why you continue on supporting them all these years. It's ok to help the her (regarding her schooling) because that's very generous of you and I salute you for that. But giving in to her mom's wishes, I find it weird. You know in your heart that you're being used by now, I suppose. Anyway, it's up to you if you continue this scenario. With the hard economy these days, going to cockfights is not really advisable. People has to think about the basic needs in life before their vices.

This case is very unusual. First of, a typical filipina will not just leave her husband no matter what. I smell something fishy here, Sasha you're right again. There are 3 sides of the story, one from Allenr, one about the wife and the TRUTH but since we only read one side I'm a bit confused. I will just go by what Allenr is saying. Ok, I find it very hard to understand that his wife don't know the procedure of K-1 considering she has a lot of so called RELATIVES here.

Everyone knows the procedure of a K-1, and even if you don't have a clue, someone can tell them what to do. And why does the wife waited for their one year anniversary, I'm lost here. And someone said something about "third world women", PLEASE don't judge people. This filipina happens to be an isolated case and what she did was a big shame to filipinas who came here to be with the man they love. About the issue on slapping, oh well, I find it very immature and I can't believe that a simple argument will lead to "slapping issues". Something is wrong here. Honestly, Allenr you should stop this relationship. This is not a true relationship in the real sense of the word. Just open your mind and close your heart. It's very obvious, can't you see it? She wants an ESCAPE in the relationship. This is not a typical relationship that can be mend after a couple of arguments. This is worst considering that she left you already and makes you wonder where she is. That alone doesn't makes sense. If you are head over heels with her, SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. But if you're thinking straight, report her to the immigration and withdraw the AOS - that's very easy. It's always YOU who has the last say on this chaos. Her fate in the US is dependent on you believe me. She knows how to manipulate you that's why she's doing this to you. At 23 she's not thinking straight and MAYBE she's got some relatives advice. Again this is just my opinion, I have tons of friends, family members and acquaintances who came here on a K-1 visa and nobody experience as what you are in right now. Get out of this mess as soon as possible. OBVIOUSLY, she has her own agenda. I talked to some of my friends about this case and they all said the same thing. Again, I would like to say "Please don't judge the third world women". That's a very UNFAIR statement.

To be completely honest with you, I don't know why you wait for 2 weeks of not knowing how is she doing. 2 days for me is alarming how much more 2 weeks. Am I missing something here? Is there something more about this story? She is just 2 weeks here and these things are happening, I find it odd seriously. Anyway, pick up the phone QUICK and find out how she's doing. I would be freaking out if it's already been 2 weeks that my fiancee is not contacting me. Or is it just me who's feeling this?

I don't see any problem unless your flight from Manila to Japan will not be delayed. Last April 10 our flight was delayed because of technical problems. And we are just lucky because my connecting flight to Boston was delayed. It was such a long line at the customs and the immigration check. Just ask help from your airline attendants at your port of entry as soon as you arrive at Newark and they have a way of contacting your connecting flight (provided that your connecting flight is the same airline).

Passport will do.

You are right Sasha, I second the motion. "Compromise" is the very basic thing in a relationship. If the fiancee always want to have her way, this is a one way relationship, this will not do them any good. I believe that if a relationship is not that consistent and problematic (I can't think of the right term) in it's early stage, for sure it will not be a successful one in the end.

I am sure this week NVC will be scheduling interviews for June. Just keep on calling them and try to talk to a live representative. Good luck on your next step. You are almost there.

Yes you are right. Within 90 days you have to get married and it's very risky to go home after that because your soon-to-be wife's papers should be filed first. I go by what my brother did to my sis-in-law. And you're also right that her mom should stay away in your fiancee and your business. She (her mom) should step back and should be there to advice and to see to it that everything is going well in your relationship. Too much meddling (no offense meant to some mothers) is really a poison in a relationship. With regards to your fiancee, she should learn how to decide for herself. This is her future with you and she should be matured enough to tackle these issues. But please don't take it against them (your fiancee and her mom), try to be more understanding a little bit. I know that this visa journey is really a tough situation because I am still into this process.

There's no other fee to be paid in your connecting flight. Your layover is kinda tight because of the security checks and immigration checks. Anyway just be prepared for any eventuality. Talk to the agent of your airline as soon as you reach Hawaii that you have a connecting flight for them to contact that flight. They have their way of doing that. It happened to us with Northwest last April 10, and we made it to our next flight. I don't really know if you can bring some of the things like those nipper and other sharp things in the manicure set because I remember that you have to declare your baggage to the customs slip. But maybe I am wrong. Maybe the nail polish and cuticle remover can be brought here of course you have to put them in your check in baggage not in your carry-on. For me, I want more to be on the safe side. Good luck on your trip.

I don't know if I am right, I am just basing this to my sis-in-law who came here on a K-1 visa. She got married with my brother here and they filed her papers and wait for it to be approved. She was approved last March 2009 and she will be going home this August. Local board exam is not really needed as far as I know because she will be taking her NCLEX here in the first place. Maybe they (her mother and her) don't know that. The issue about the mother is an unwelcome thing but I am not here to judge. Maybe they have their own mother and daughter agenda. Good luck to the both of you and Best Wishes on your forthcoming wedding.

Sending emails to another man/woman especially if it's connected in your past is a BIG QUESTION MARK in my mind. Of course it depends on the email. But the way I feel in that email is the husband is advancing on something. Since it is not happening yet (the chatting and other forms of communication) get ready for your next move. Be vigilant and if he starts moving forward to that, talk to him just ONCE. There should be no second time around. If he promise on something do not believe him at an instant. Keep an open eye and mind, I know that would be difficult. It's very painful to be surprise in the end so better be prepared. From my experience if a man did something bad in a relationship the first time, a very big percentage he will do it some other time. I always believe that ONCE is enough.

We as wives should live ourselves more before anyone else.

Congratulations! You are absolutely right about lawyers (but not all). We paid our lawyer a fortune and we almost do all the paper works and the research. They are very slow in informing us about the mails that they received during my kids process. After we paid them in one shot they were not so aggressive enough to work on our case. They required us to pay the whole payment one time. We were very disappointed with their services, but God is so good and we are almost done with the process also.

You can get your SSN if you have your green card or EAD already as far as I know. They didn't give me SSN when I only showed my passport. My sis-in-law who's on a K-1 was not given also unless she got married to my brother and had her green card. I don't know in your case I am only stating what I know from our personal experiences. Good Luck. Maybe in your state it's different.

Better be alone and focus on YOURSELF first. Start fresh and do not rush in another relationship. I can't see any good thing with having a troublesome relationship in it's very early stage. And starting a new one isn't a good option. Love yourself before loving another person and you will be happy I'm sure.

Congratulations and have a safe trip soon.

Good luck to you girl. I hope everything will turn out well.

For me it's very simple. Just remember the golden rule and everything will turn out the way you expect. Advance Happy Mothers day to all mothers and wives out there. It's our day and we should be proud of it. Being a WIFE and MOTHER at the same is a wonderful task.

It seems to me that you're all set for the interview. Many people I know have their medical ahead of time, like one month before the interview, which is I think is more favorable but it's still dependent on you if you want it to be done as planned. Some people encountered problems like sputum culture or whatever. They said you cannot rely on the X-ray that's being done in other clinic or facility or even big hospitals. It's still St. Luke's who has the last word concerning the medical. Good luck to both of you and I hope everything will turn out well as you expect it to be.
