    The interview is not your problem. Your medical is where all your plans and dreams will come to an end.

    Gosh, Ten years of saved benefits. How did you ever manage to eat and pay your bills.....
    You say you can afford to travel, so travel. The US is not the only destination. Visit Canada. Visit Europe. Visit Australia. Visit the Far East. That could fill up the best part of six months in the next twelve. Your life would be full of new experiences. and if you still feel the urge, come visit us again in the Good Ol'e US of A in September 2016

    Philippines= High fraud country.
    Lots of young women from the Philippines wanting a better standard of life. Green card seems to be the accepted way. The way to do this is snag an American husband
    There are lots of American men (generally older men) looking for young women to marry who are probably less demanding and not so sure of themselves as American women.
    This leads to this situation a lot. Guys on here posting how their wife left them as soon their green cards arrived.
    Or The wife posting on here on how their American husband suddenly changed and became aggressive and abused them, so they left.

    2ndMessiah got a reaction from Ebunoluwa in health insurance question   
    The point I obviously did not make clear is that for some, almost free health cover through subsidy (worthless or other wise in your opinion) is better than an annual increasing penalty because of some ideological principle.
    The idea of "letting the system collapse", shows a huge disregard for those invested with health insurance for the first time. I am aghast by a lack of empathy and a "I'm alright Jack", "Let them eat cake" attitude.
    In saying that the ACA is not perfect. Yes, we can and should do better for our citizens and LPR's.
    But until ideology and profit is set aside, I doubt much will be done for we the people.

    Once more unto the breach dear friends, once more; Or close up the wall with our English dead......errrrrrrrmmm
    Fear not the jitters and worry not what have I done. The US and UK is truly two nations divided by a common language. Even though your senses have been assaulted by American culture on television and McDonald's has taken over the UK there is quite a gulf. In saying all that, embrace your American cousins strange ways of doing things. Re-learn how to spell. Let your palette adjust to American tastes.
    As for paid vacation days (see what I did there), it really depends on your employer and the type of work you do.
    I work in local government, so we generally follow how the federal government does it. I earn seven hours of paid time off for every two weeks worked. This increases with my years of service. Healthcare is subsidized by my employer. Also remember you are entitled to get tax credit through the Affordable Care Act (setting aside any political view you may have on this) if your employer doesn't do health insurance.Whereas if you work in a dead end job on minimum wage, paid time off is a pipe dream.
    Believe me you will adjust and in about 5 years you could be a US citizen.
    Good luck
    Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

    Sometimes I wonder why I stay here.
    Politics are insanely polarized. Religion is rampant with the Christian right whimpering about war on Christianity, when they are the most privileged. The left don't appear to be able to put forward a competent or law abiding candidate.
    A civilized people would be horrified about the number of guns in the hands of lawful and non-lawful citizens and would have a real handle on controlling gun crime. Local police forces would not be staffed trigger happy racists and there would be a cohesive organised health care system paid for by the people by a low tax. A nation that would care for its poor instead of one that only cares for the rich. It would have an education system that taught to the highest standards, creating scientists, doctors, leaders instead of citizens who can barely read at the age of 18
    Come to think of it , America appears to be leading most of the Western world in a decline.
    I hear the immediate cry of "If you hate America so much, why don't you leave".
    The thing is, I don't hate this country.In fact, I love the place. I soon will be a citizen of the Unite States. I want to vote. I want my say. I want to be here so that I can in some small way make this country as great as it thinks it is. I want the freedoms and dreams that this country offers.
    E pluribus unum.
    Mainly though, I stay for the beer,

    Weak? Unbiased, so they probably didn't come across as opinionated with no agenda to push other that report the news.

    I would also report your address change to the USCIS. I think you use Ar-11 form. I understand the US mail does NOT redirect USCIS mail.

    I am sure he was very sincere about the words he had memorized.
    I cannot comment on his patriotism, I never knew the man personally.
    All I am saying is that his years of acting allowed him to be a more convincing president. To deliver his lines in a heartfelt way. I find most politicians utter words to placate. It is how they get votes.
