Wow, that's quick congratulations! Have a safe trip coming here in the US of A.

Congratulations you made it! Another success of a filipina, God is so good to us. Good luck on your future plans and of course your trip to the US of A.

Is there an update of this case? I'm so interested to know what happened. This has been a year ago and I just find it today.

Good luck to all August interviewees. You all will make it, God is always doing good things to those who believe in HIM. To all those who are still waiting - it's the hardest part of this journey. It's hard to move on if there are loved ones left behind, let's all hope for the best. God bless all of us!

Congratulations and it pays to have a complete faith in God and to yourself. God bless you and xylide on your future trip to the US of A.

Congratulations and again and good luck on your new life here in the US. I'm sure you will have a happy life with your hubby.

Congratulations and again and good luck on your new life here in the US. I'm sure you will have a happy life with your hubby.

That was fast, you and your parents will have a happy reunion soon.

Sorry I don't know this person, but while I was reading the article above - I don't know if I shall be sad or happy that his wife wasn't issued a visa or whatever. If he is married to a filipina, I can't imagine how he can write such an article. I can't find much sympathy in him sorry.

Wow! Another success for a filipina. Congratulations and God bless you on your trip to the US of A.

Best of luck to you! Relax and you will be fine, prayers will help you a lot.

I'm casting my vote also, it's time to be proud of our OWN. Let's hope that it will be selected.

No, NBI is not needed here in the US. We just use it in the interview process at the USEM as part of the requirement.

I think the office of Atty. Michael Gurfinkel can help you. Just google where his offices are, he is also very familiar with filipino immigrants because his wife is a filipina as they say. Just a suggestion. Good luck and may God bless you on your journey.

Wow, some of you guys knows a lot of languages and dialects. Nakakainggit naman kayo. I am not teaching my husband Tagalog because I feel he is not into that. I always talk with some members of my family and I feel he can catch some of the words though he isn't saying it. And also, we want my two kids to learn the English language first since one of my son is here already and he will be in college by fall. My husband told me that he should be familiar with the English language so that he will will not have a hard time adjusting in the classroom since everyone will be speaking English.

I don't want my two sons to forget our native language which is Tagalog, it will remain in our hearts wherever we go. As long as we are not talking bad about my husband or we are not talking Tagalog in front of him - I guess we're all set. I know some of our fellow filipinos out there doesn't like their kids to learn our language, it's their choice and prerogative.

I noticed that there are filipinas who are also fluent in Spanish maybe because we were under the Spanish rule for more than 300 years. I can speak a little bit also but not at par with some of you out there. I am amazed with you guys. Keep it up!

Another approval, congratulations and good luck!

Congratulations and good luck on your trip to the US of A. God bless!

I attended my niece's wedding last October 2007 here and my other niece told me jokingly if I want to register myself in an online site. I was 7 years separated and living happily with my 2 kids in the Philippines. I said to myself "what if I register online". My husband was there also and he is willing to meet an Asian woman, he has no idea about filipino women. He sent me a very long email and I responded. May 1 of the following year, we got married and will live happily ever after. (Parang ang tanda na namin para sa fairy tale). Good luck to all successful marriages here in VJ. Cheers to all of us!

8 years of marriage whether you're living physically or long distance is not really a joke. This is life itself and I think the relationship really turned out the way the OP is not expecting. We don't know how the relationship was for that very long time. We don't know the surrounding facts of their meeting, we don't know why he end up adopting her kid which happened to be too young or still a baby. So I guess, for me what the OP can do is try to analyze what really went wrong. Being husband and wife legally as the word implies entails a commitment and maintaining it is really a hardwork. I feel that the OP is a good person and hopefully he can manage to come to terms with the wife, if not I think even to the very least they can be good friends. I know some relationships that did not materialize when they are living together as husband and life but ended up being good friends.

There are so many things still unclear to me in this post, anyway I still give some of my opinions and I hope even 1% i made sense. Good luck to the OP and may your relationship improves and also one more thing, drinking will not solve your dilemma - it will lead to more problems.

I don't know, this problem of yours will not end unless you set the ultimatum regarding the money. This will create more trouble if there will be no set rules especially that you are the only one working in the house. Good luck and I hope this matter does not escalate to the next level whether good or bad. Try to draw the line between the needs and the wants (for the family members in the Philippines) and the helping and enabling. There are more possible scenario if you don't stop this issue the soonest possible time. You always have a choice and you're still holding the ACE. God bless your generosity.

I will always contribute whatever amount I can but if my friend insist on paying the bill - it's his/her choice. Maybe next time I will be my turn to invite him/her.

I will just share what my opinions are in this matter. I wish there will be no violent reactions. For me, privacy is when he wants to be by himself once in a while. Secrets is when there are some issues hidden whether in his cell phones, computers, drawers etc. My husband's computer is open 24/7 and mine also. We are on a network, all the rooms had their own computers. I know the password of my husband and vice versa. So, no secrets. But, if I see something in his inbox or anything that will lead to suspicion on my part, I will automatically point it out to him.

Having some nudity or whatever things dealing with porn, (I am not familiar with these things seriously maybe I'm old school) whether those are sent to him is a big deal to me especially if I discover it myself. I am sorry if I sound primitive, but I can't tolerate it. Everything that will hurt me or give me inconvenience should be talked about by the couple.

For me, there shouldn't be SECRETS in a relationship.

Hi! makikisali ako sa inyo, ibang kaso naman. Nakakainip talaga maghintay na matapos ang anak ko sa St. Lukes. 4 months na sya dun, 2 months pa plus another 2 months for the culture. Sobrang miss ko na siya, kayo hubby nyo namimiss nyo ako anak ko. Sobraaaang hirap ng dinadanas ng anak ko diyan sa Pinas kasi lagi siyang malungkot. Kahit may pera sya at halos laging nasa ibat-ibang SM malls naiyak pa rin kaming 2 pag nag-uusap. Ang bata pa siya nakaranas na ng sobrang frustration sa system. Medically di na sya contagious to travel pero dahil sa visa process kelangan talaga maghintay. Walang choice. Pasensya na kayo nakiramay ako sa inip ninyo ha. Wala lang, wala lang talaga. Sawa na kasi ako kakaiyak sa nangyari sa kanya.

Sige good luck na lang sa ating lahat. Hinihintay ko yung time na lalapag na ang plane dyan at makikita ko na ulit smile ng bunso ko sa pagkikita namin. God bless tayong lahat na naghihintay.

With that last post of yours, I came to realize that your priority is your fiancee for now. Good luck as long as you're happy with the path you chose.

I love your post john and Natalya. Very well said. I hope the OP will be enlightened. The 2nd and last paragraph are the exact words that I agree on. Your wife is very lucky to have you same as myself (very lucky to have my BOB).

Congratulations and good luck on the next step - the interview. God bless!
