Being paranoid again..... :wacko

Been here for 2 months now (Tennessee)....but I haven't received my GC..

I change address at my POE and I ask the immigration officer if I should call USCIS and inform them that I have changed address, but she told me its okay coz she already changed it for me.

And now,its been 2 months and still no GC...called USCIS customer service and ask about my GC, and they don't have any idea about my greencard... the last update they have in their system is my NOA1..and that was ages ago, they havent update it eversince...

This is the number that I've been calling... 1-800-375-5283 (or am I calling the wrong number?or been talking to a stupid operator? or am I just stupid?! )

Its probably time to make a personal trip your nearby Immigrations office.

Thanks for all the advice and opinions everyone, all of you that have posted have valid sense. I dont know where to go from here but im going to give it sometime, she has been texting me lately and I would just reply to her that I am extremely busy. I think I would only need a week to come up with a decision. There are so many things to think off such as saying that PAST IS PAST or WHAT IF SHE WILL DO IT AGAIN BEHIND MY BACK. So much to think off.

THanks and I'll keep everyone posted.

Would you get involved with a hooker here? Poor is no excuse for prostitution. Most everyone there is poor.

Hate to be the one to ask, but have you considered being tested for stds now?

Yeah being poor is not excuse, and h3ll no I would not get involved with a prosty.

the more i think of it now the more anger i feel, i think im going to kick her to the curb

theres more fish in the sea

I don't understand why we (myself included) look at prostitutes like they are less than human? The only thing that differentiates them from women who sleep around or have casual sex or one-night stands is the money that is exchanged. There are plenty of women in this world who sleep around.

To me it's kinda like the girls whom work in Topless or totally nude bars in USA.

Most of these chicks are either - Coke Whores, Speed Whores, Lesbians, or they are just Fvcked Up in the Head. Bottom line they have low moral and have made poor choices, and will probably continues these poor life choices in their future.

Im thinking and hoping............ that she might be playing a test on me to see how genuine my love is for her. I hope that is the case, why did i ever have to find this out when I already love this girl.

yeah im going to have myself tested on MONDAY, I feel violated

I'd say that she has a really high risk factor for not being loyal. It's better to have a woman that would choose to not have any money rather than disrespect herself like that. For all you know, she could have another man she's sleeping around with and you wouldn't even know it. Don't rule this out. I hate to sound harsh...but consider these things - there's lots of great woman out there.

Yeah that has crossed my mind, right now my trust factor for her has gone down, im not sure if this is just my initial reaction or not but I guess time will tell. What you say is true and I appreciate that. Thank you

here goes,

My Fiancee fessed up to me on the phone just earlier, she comes from a poor family for Hilongos Leyte, she left and went to Manila to find a job, when I met her she was working at a waterstation. Now here is the kicker, she said its been on her mind for a very long time and wanted to tell me this so she can clear her conscience. During our conversation out of the blue she told me that she needed to tell me something, she said she used to work at a BEER HOUSE and would have sex with men for money, she claims she only went out 3 times till she no longer can take it as she was starting to lose respect for herself. Should I be affected by this ? should I lose sleep over this ? right now I am in a world of confusion and so much thoughts are racing thru my mind.

WHAT DO I DO ?

WHAT would you guys do ?

ADVISE ME PLEASE ?

hello veemer, how long you know your fiancee? did u visit her already? did you meet her family in leyte? did you support her financially? if you support her and she still doing her wrong doing, its not really good for you to pursue to get her and bring her in the usa, sometimes poverty is not the main reason, but it depends on the person itself, my advice is follow what is in your mind and heart, if you still love her give her a second chance, but if you have doubts leave her...tell her right away...to find her way...and you have time to move on....

Ive known her for 2 years, been there 3 times, I have met her family in Leyte all 3 times when i went there, this is something that she has done in the past a few years before she met me.

Im just really confused, I dont know what direction to go as of now, I think i just need some time and space away from all this..............

What are you looking for anyway?

I'm looking for her love, i've felt the love from her its just that I never would have thought of her as a person that would do that. Ive already invested alot of time on here, been there 3 times, which were probably the best times of my love. I am just confused at the moment.

ADVISE ME PLEASE ?

The copying of your credit card was enforced by PAL in the past. They did not ask my wife for it though. Also, when you book through PAL the travel tax is normally included in the ticket price. With most other airlines you will pay the travel tax at the airport or PTA office. You still have to pay the terminal tax of 750 PHP.

i new i read that you had to copy it. i think i will just do it just in case to make sure she doesn't have to worry. She wil have enough to worry about lol

thanks guys you always have the best advise as we all have gone or going through the same stuff.

robert

have you gotten at ticket yet ? why dont you go see Linda on Charleston and Maryland parkway at the Lafayette Village Square, she owns the travel agency there, you can tell her your exact plans and she will hook you up;

No i havent' gotten the ticket cause her visa is still in reivew status. She turned in a paper after hr interview so they said 5-10 buisness days before she can get her visa.

i was going to swing buy the travel agency i went through when i went to the philippens but if there is somebody from VJ maybe i will swing by that one. Is it by the 99 cent store or by the gas station on charleston and maryland?

its neither the one of those locations here call this number : 702 384-5600, ask for Linda, she is a elder filipina lady thats caters to this type of scenario. Just tell her your entire story and how you want it done, she will be able to help you out.

Hello to all!!!

Will be leaving on Tues night. I just want to know if NAIA will accept $$$ payment for terminal fee and travel tax????? or should be in peso???

Thank you in advance

Im in, keep me informed !!!

Philippines Govt. will make her do CFO Seminar and get a stamp before she can board a plane and leave PI.

Kinda like the old communist Russia

Word...............

Its just a way for them to make money and to inform them what rights they have once the enter the United States and maybe, just maybe try to tell them that we are jerks.

hello VJ

We are still waiting for grace to get her visa but we are sooo excited. She has been packed since sunday :-) We should get it either today or tommarrow I hope. If you don't know she turned in paper on 23rd and they said she was done. So it should take a little longer then a week with thanksgiving and the 30th holiday.

First questioon is about coming to America. The best deals i find is by expeida. The only problem is i worry about her flying into Los angeles, SFO or Hawaii then missing the plane transfer after customs. for me it was quick. I have read that they have to fill out many papers and go through long line for imigrants. A two our delay in plane transfers worry me. i know when i went into LA once, It took me about 1 hour just to get to the other terminal. She would be coming into LA and if I understand now she would have to REcheck her bags??

I want her to just fly to vancouver canada then to vegas would be so much easier but it cost about 100 more think all the hassel and them possibly chaarging her for bags when she switches airlines might be worth it? ANY ADVISSE WOULD BE HELPFULL.

Buying a ticket is my next question. I have read some people are givin a hard time trying to board the plane when a ticket isn't purchesed in their name? I am looking to buy it by expedia. I read i shoudl copy my credit card and send her a copy of this? Anyone have problems buying for their fiance? She doens't want to buy it cause she is scared she make mistake and fly wrong place lol.

Now one more question guys, i read where they can have up to 23 killo bags. My future mother in law is givng grace a heaving blanket as it is cold here in winter(vegaas). How should she go about thsi as her bag already is close to or over 23 killos?

thanks guys

Robert,

Hopefully I will be in the same boat as you in a few months. I too am in Las Vegas, and I have looked and found that hawain airlines is a decent price on one way tickets, it is 670 dollars. The flight is from Manila to Honolulu, then transfer to domestic then to Las Vegas. The connection time is about 3 hrs 45 min. As far as the name on the ticket, it has to be exactly is on her passport, or else they will not allow boarding. So far the hawaiin and PAL pr 106 from Manila to Las Vegas via Vancouver is my other option, but as of right now it is at least 200 dollars more. If your fiance is a first time flyer, I would strongly try to go for the pr106. I have been on the pr107 and pr106 flights several times, it is easy, just a 1 hour layover in Vancouver but no plane change. I would strongly avoid LAX because it is one of the most busiest airports in the world. PAL has 50 lbs limits on up to two check in bags, and 15 lbs for carry on because I have flown PAL several times now.

Have you checked TRAVELOCITY ? you best bet is to fly from Manila to Mccarren via PAL, the POE is great here and not a pain in the A$$

My daughter had her interview last Monday (Dec.1). She is 7 yrs old accompanied by my Mom since I can't because of my job and my schooling here in TX. My mother told me that the interview went well but what happened is they gave the passport back to my Mom, gave her a white slip indicates to wait until she hear from USEM. Also, they made her go to the NSO Pasay to get a CENOMAR to prove i wasn't married to my daughter's biological father. They gave her a form to be attached on the application of CENOMAR and people from NSO told her they are going to give the CENOMAR directly to USEM so she dont need to come back and pick it up. USEM also told her to bring all her school transcripts because my Mom just brought only the latest one and also her baptismal certificate. My Mom told them that our house got flooded and some of our documents got ripped. But they said that we can still get those records from the school and the church where my daughter got baptized. I'm worried of how long it will take. I'm planning to be there in the PH by March to get my daughter so we can fly together going to US. does anybody know how long the NSO will process my CENOMAR and bring that thing to USEM? I'm thinking filling another petition again for her. It is my husband now (her step-dad) did the petition for I know it would be a lot faster since I'm not a citizen yet. Things are playing on my mind right now.....I miss my daughter soooo much and I want to be with her soon. I'm praying that they won't deny her after submitting all the documents they asked for.

getting a CENOMAR is quick just a few days of a turn around time, I ordered one online for my Fiancee and she got it within 2 days.

Ours was onw of the cases that sailed through (less than 90 days from petition filing to visa issuance) and it still was very stressful and seemed to take forever. I suppose if it had gone on much longer the local ABC store near my house might have gotten to know me very well.

I got nuts thinking of the wasted time of how the both of us can be together right now, aside from that nothing else i can do.

NTSC is the standard there, I sent brought the Ole lady a TV on my last visit and had no problems.

Also 1 case in Cebu where the American went over and married a beautiful pinay and ended up finding a snake between the 'Pinay/pinoys/ legs.

I'll see if I can find the news release.

woulda been real interesting at the medical if they'd applied for a k-3

an epic tranny gettin ready for some serious A$$ whooping !!!

Funny how gays are so tolerated and accepted in PI. That stuff wouldn't fly in Texas

Yeah totally and to see them in their Tranny phase always gets my balling. Seems like you are cool if you have a Tranny friend.

That's pocket change compared to meeting a woman in the USA, and getting a divorce.

It will run 10 to 20 times that much in USA

WORD...........Sometimes its cheaper to keep her here in America

poor guy, what the heck s going on with him. thats stupidity to sent money to the people you dont even see in person or in a webcam

Pretty standard scam. I've seen beautiful woman in cafes in PI on cam with BF or hubby out of sight coaching the pinay what to say.

One group even had mom with her 2 daughters on different computers coaching both at the same time.

Sucker born every second!

Now thats a fight waiting to happen, I would probably serve some time if that were to ever happen to me...............

I just sent my Ole Lady a vonage router and call her from there.

For texting I installed google voice on my Iphone and i can text anywhere in the world for free, Of course you will need a invitation to sign up for google voice but well worth it. If anyone is interested i have a couple of invitations that i can email you.

Hard to land a job here nowadays.

Do you drive yet? I'm still learning so I'm stuck at home all the time.

I've not seen anything remotely interesting or good paying in the last month that I've been job hunting.

I don't drive here yet but I do drive in Philippines. I thought il be having hard time driving here coz you know there is no laws in driving back home lol. I did not even take driving exam, my mom just paid for it. They drive slow here....

I am also stuck at home...Do you have ym? where you from?

Times are tough right now here in the US. What type of job do you want? Try meeting others in your area and spend time talking with them.

Networking is your best bet now.

Let as many people as possible know you are looking and I am sure someone will have a friend of a friend who knows this guy....

Good Luck.

Hi everyone! I got my EAD last month, and soon as I received it,I started sending resume online,filling out applications online. It's been a month now and there are no calls I receive for job interview at least.

How did you guys get a job? Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated.

I am not picky, I just want a job. I've been trying sites like snagajob.com, i applied at DD online and it is so frustrating how they could say you are not qualified for the job only after answering few simple questions. I find it unfair for them to screen their applicants that way.

I am getting frustrated.

Thanks Phil! I worked as Psychology Professor in Philippines. I know it won't be easy to land in the same job here in the states that's why I do not mind getting whatever job is available. It is really a big adjustment for me. I am here in New Jersey.

Go to your local CULINARY UNION and see if they have any apprenticeships going on, pay is great and you are protected by the union.

I will remember this the next time I am in bed with the Fiancee I will tell her im going to Yo-Yo !!!

SCAMMERS everywhere including my mailbox..... LMAO

FROM THE HOSPITAL

My Beloved One,

I have a proposal for you,this however is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honour against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail.

I am Mrs Lisa Ronald from Solomon Islands near Australia. I am married to Mr. Ronald William from United States Of America who worked with American Embassy in United Kingdom for nine years before he died in the year 2004.

We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $4.5 Million in a bank company in LONDON.

Recently, my DOCTOR told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a Orphanage or good person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in.

I want a organization or good person that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.

l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not in good tense not even good at all because they are the one that killed my husband in other to have all my late husband properties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly way.

This is why I am taking this decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".

I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are possible.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact in London. I will also issue you an authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the organization to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.

My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy human kind.Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing another organization or good person for this same purpose.

Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein.

Hoping to receive your response immediately.

Thanks and Remain blessed.

Mrs Lisa Ronald

WOW you can be a millionaire.........what are you waiting for ? contact this person asap !!!

I also love how NIGERIANS pull their scam on how they are on temporary assignment from West Africa and how they would love to buy your ITEM for their deserving Nephew or Niece.
