I gave up my two houses (up to now they are for sale) and the simple life that I had but everything is wonderful now with my USC husband.

The GC is the biggest deal so you're good to go. Good luck on your future endeavours. God bless you!

Good luck on your fiancee medical and interview. She will make it I'm sure. Everyone of us are desperate in this visa process. My husband and I are very frustrated also with the case of my son.

Good luck as I always say. God is good to all of us! Keep the faith burning.

I'm sure she will make it. You have tons of evidence and I know Sheryl is prepared mentally and physically in this interview. Good luck and tell her to relax.

That was a good news! A quick naturalization journey. Good luck!

A very simple welcome at first like a small amount of his favorite food (because he maybe full in the food that's being served in his flight), a good background music, and just a short conversation and more stretching in bed (because he needs to lay down comfortably). The next day, make everything natural and gradual, ask him what he wants to do and if undecided yet, give him some suggestions. Of course show him everything in the house (that's one thing I appreciated with my husband the first time). Make him feel at home and welcome.

I bought my ticket round trip last March from Mango Tours in Newark, CA. I just arrange everything on the phone with Marissa and at the same time I also bought my son's one way ticket from Manila to Boston and there was really no problem elsewhere. Yesterday I was booking a flight to Manila possibly November. One way for me from Boston International Airport costing $565 including tax. $765 for my son's including tax also. Maybe you can try them, Marissa is my contact person there and she is a very nice lady. They have a branch at H.V. dela Costa in Makati. If you want to buy a ticket and the passenger will be coming from Manila, Marissa can book you in communication with their branch in Makati. You can also call their Makati office for free thru Marissa. I hope this helps. Good luck. Just google Mango Tours Newark, CA contact numbers.

Good luck on her interview and at last I heard some nice words about our kababayan at the US Embassy in Manila. Maybe she was really in good mood when you call or shall I say maybe she's human enough to understand the dilemma of the thousands of people waiting for their turn.

Congratulations to Boots and you! August is really a pink month and I'm praying my son will get pink also in two months. May God bless your family always.

Wow! That was a long and tiresome trip. Good luck on your job hunting.

Congrats and good luck in your next journey!

Good luck in all your future plans.

Good job :dance:

Hi! I know you are devastated by what happened in your x-ray. I go with sasha's post and I have the same feeling as you when I learned about my son. Every case is different, don't worry so much about the result of your culture. My son is on his 5th month of medication at St. Luke's now and I pray everyday that our worst nightmare will be over soon. This incident gave us so much hardship financially and emotionally. But what can we do? Except to follow the mandate of the US law and pray that one day my son will be with us. Keep the faith alive and good luck on the result of your culture, think positively. God bless you!

I am saddened by the news about your baby. Just be strong and keep the faith alive. Maybe there is still hope and as others say it will not hurt to seek for a 2nd opinion. It's really hard to be pregnant especially if it's your first. God bless you and the baby.

Wow, that was a very touching story. It reminds me of my grandma who became so sickly but did not lose her love and care to all of us. Thank you for sharing that to us! Life in itself is really a journey, I'm sure that old woman had a wonderful life at young age and she savor every minute of it. God bless her and all of the elderly.

Same here, my son's visa was delivered after 3 days and I paid the messenger from Air21 plus the tip of course. Good luck and I'm sure the visa is on the way for her.

I will be hypocrite if I say I can forget someone who gave me so much to remember. Unless I will have an amnesia, it will be very hard to just cast away everything in your mind. For me, the best thing to do is to move on, be the best of what I can and try hard to learn from my mistakes. Whether the issue is relationship such as with your ex, with a friend, with a family member etc., good or bad - it's better to leave them behind.

She made the Philippines well known in the world because of the famous People Power. She is a strong lady and an ideal mother to her children. She will be happy with her husband now. May her soul rest in peace.

Many reasons why I'm saying I'm happy to have him in my life:

Brings me flowers even without occasion

Doesn't forget to say "I love you"

Love and care for my kids (though he has no experience having one)

Very responsible in all aspects

Prioritize our relationship

Clean living

Watching movies and TV shows with me (not all the time of course)

Loves his mom (the first thing that strikes me of him)

Very honest

Still a kid at heart sometimes

Sense of humor

Hardworker

Very smart

Handyman

So many that those are the obvious qualities that he has. Our relationship isn't perfect but it qualifies as close to ideal.

Congratulations you made it! Time to start planning your trip to the US. God bless!

Sometimes it takes more than the processing time for a petition for kids to be approved. We applied for my kids June 2008 and they were approved December 2008. It was almost 6 months for my kids, you're still on the processing time I guess. You're still fine. Good luck.

Congratulations to you, you're such a good daughter. To your parents, have a safe flight coming here. God bless your family.

If my understanding is clear, you are the beneficiary and you seem to be the "victim" here. I read all the posts in the closed thread. I can't imagine that you didn't even tell the truth yet after the chaos. You are from the Philippines and not from Australia as some posters said in the closed forum. I think it's better to go home now and start a new life after this experience.
