Hello VJers!

So I have been in the US for almost 4 years now. I have my 10 year GC and wants to travel to the Philippines to visit my family.

The question is, do I need to renew my Philippine passport? or do I even need it? If so, where can I renew it in Seattle, Washington? and how long will it take to process it?

We've bought our tickets and is leaving on the 25th of December to return on the 14th of January 2014. Please Help. Thanks!!

"If you can dream it, you can do it"

Hi.

I have been married to my husband for over a year now after 5 years of being steady and is now currently here in the US. After living with him and my in-laws, mostly with my in-laws, things aren't really working out too well. He me would yell at me and treat me bad in front of his folks and makes me cry shamelessly whenever we have a small disagreement.

I love him with all my heart but is now at the point of walking out of our marriage because of the constant taunting I keep getting from him.

He threatens to deport me whenever we have an argument. He knows I don't have anybody here but him. I have a job now but is driving his car cos I don't have my own and he threatens to hide the keys so I don't get to work. He calls me all the horrible names there is in English language and accusses me of cheating before we got married and telling me I might have STDs and that I might have given it to him.

He was my prince. But he never treated me as his princess. He was my world. He was my everything.

I would like to move on with my life, and get over this heartache and stress I'm currently in. Like I said, I have a job and a life now here in the US. I can't bear the possibility of going back to nothing in my country. I'm suppose to renew my GC next year but how will I do that if he doesn't want to participate in it and we are still married?

after we made the call and got that confirmation number,.. we went to talk to the immigration officer at seattle office. They told us that we're all good and that we are suppose to get another letter from them for no longer than 45 days.

And now, I just got an email confirming the request for another appointment and that we should wait for it.

We hope we won't hit another bump.

Good luck to us!

So we called the 1-800-375-5283 number and talked to a representative. She then gave us a confirmation number and told us to wait for another appointment schedule which will be delivered by mail.

We also scheduled an appointment at the local USCIS office via Infopass to ask questions just to be sure.

I'm still worried. I hope everything works out fine.

oh btw, that's the interview for my AOS application.

So, I got a mail from the USCIS that I'm suppose to have my initial interview on the 25th of august,.. and today is jul. 26th,.. my hubby won't be in the US by august 20th and won't be coming back till september 20 because of a scheduled job overseas.

How are we suppose to change the date of the interview and is it possible to do that? please please please,.. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

AOS packet sent june 14 and it got there june 15th 2:30pm,... GOOD LUCK TO US ALL

I am clicking around its just that they say different answer about the questions i have and it gets confusing

I'm still searching for answers,. thanks again for the feedback:)

It would help if you would fill in your timeline, but assuming that you came to the US on a K1 visa, you need to adjust your status. The Cr1 and IR1 are for for people who want to move to the US who are married to a USC or LPR; from what you said I believe that you are already in the United States, so they would not apply to you. Read the guide for how to adjust your status after the K1, which does include the I 485, amongst other forms.

Here is the link.

We have G-325a,I-864,I-485, I-765,I-131 and G-1145.

How long will it take to process and will I be able to work while waiting for approval ???

When my K-1 visa expires, Am i allowed to stay till we apply for what necessary document I have to file?

I'm so confuse right now my head is spinning from all the reading I am doing ) please help,.. yet again ,.. thanks!

OK,. so do I apply for SSN now or later after the wedding so we don't have to come back again to change my last name?

Hello Vj'ers! I'm already here in the US and we are going to have the wedding pretty soon.

So my question is,.. what's next with the paper works after the wedding? and what do i have to provide to get things done?

Thanks alot and again Thank YOU guys for being the light upon our way! CHEERS!

My flight would be Manila to Nagoya,.. Nagoya to Narita,... Narita to Seattle which is my POE...

I'm flying with Delta air. My fiance is going to call them today about the luggage.

With this kind of connecting flights, Am i suppose to pick the luggage up at the POE?

Hello VJ'rs!

I'm not quite sure where to post this thread but anyway i have some questions regarding my flight.

My fiance can't make it here in the PI cos of some job related issues, so anyway, I'm flying in this 17th of march.

I got three connecting flights. So my question is, do I have to take my luggage every time?

My fiance bought the ticket using mileage card so i don't know if I'm entitled to take 2 pieces of 23kls each bags for free.

Please please help me. I'm confuse and this is the first time I'm flying in a long haul flight.

Thanks everybody! kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

I'm planning to leave on April cos i still have job related things to do before going there. And he's flying in for traditional stuff in my family.

Got my visa today!

thanks to all the VJers for helping me get through everything! (F)

God bless us all!!! and Good luck to those that's still processing!!!

oh, btw,.. to those who doesn't know how to get to the cfo office in quezon city,... just take off LRT katipunan station and take the NORTH EXIT,.once you get out of the station,you just have to walk like 2mins and you're there.

If you get off on the other exit, just cross the road and you'll see a big sign saying "GOOD SHEPHERD CONVENT" or just ask somebody to point you to the place. But believe me it's hard to miss because its right in front of PSBA.

I'm taking the seminar on monday.

Hi Tracy:),.. please move the thread back to the Philippines Forum

Thanks

you don't need to bring birth cert, nbi and cenomar. they will only ask for your passport, copy of your visa and id. congratS!

Thanks!

maybe I'll have that when they deliver the visa to me.

I'm near St. Mary's so i'd probably go there,.. i'm just not sure what docs i have to bring, IDs i have but the certificates,.. no cos the manila usembassy took it

i just had my interview done so my birt cert, NBI, cenomar is there with the manila usembassy,... i just read that i have to have cfo seminar and those are required documents to have that.

So, what i'm going to do? do i need to apply for those again?

Thank God!!! and Thank you all!,...

My fiance is planning his next trip to pick me up here in the PI once I get the visa in my hand

I'll let you all know about what's next

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

The interview went smoothly and like like Abbie, I saw an "approved" stamp on my papers.

Whew!!!

Goodluck to those going on their interview!!

YAY!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Wish me luck for my interview tomorrow.

I hope I'd be as lucky as you!!!!!

Good luck to us Abbie!! I'd be praying for you too

I glued our photos in a bond paper but I'm still bringing a lot of them with me in case they look for more pictures.

Keep us posted!!

Thanks to all posters on this thread!!!
