I_Am_That_I_Am

I would say you treat it the way you would with any formal job interview you're going to. After all, you wouldn't want the consul to think that you're taking them lightly.
Look professional, be professional. Good Luck!

Dear Fellow VJers,
As i mentioned before that as soon as i get a response from SSA regarding Orlando Card Center's refusal to let me use my husband's last name when i applied for Name Change, now im back to let everybody know that the lady who said they can't do it received a memo from SSA main office informing her that K1 holders even without EAD and/or GC can do Name Change as long as MC, Passport and I-94 (valid) are presented upon application.
So this lady called and asked me to go back to the office and said she'll personally process my request. Although hubby and I are not so excited about the idea of having to go back there and do it all over again, we are very thankful that because of this event everybody working in this center now knows what they should /supposed to know abt K1 holders.
I hope this won't happen to any K1 holders or to anybody again.
Good Luck to all of us and THANK you so much for all your help.
Cheers!
Chie M.

NEVER TRUST a guy who TALKS TOO MUCH...

i beg to disagree with the underlined statement. just coz you were exposed to some pinoys who knew nothing about saving, it doesn't mean that we, Filipinos, are all the same.
While growing up, we were taught to save as much as we can from our daily allowance/"baon" so if possible, we won't have to bother mama and papa for our next day's baon. We were taught that if we buy soy sauce in big bottles (in liters), we can save more. If we iron our school uniforms, etc all at the same time, we save more energy which means parents will pay less for electricity use. That if we buy veggies directly from the farmer (no middleman, no transport cost, etc) we save more money plus we get the best of what they have. As Pinoy kids grow, they are encouraged to have piggy banks where they can save their extra money (and save for emergencies). Some parents would open a bank account for each kid to teach them at a very young age to save up for their future (college tuition, car, etc.) As you grow older, you will be taught more and learn more about saving. When i was in HS i had to save up for those things that i wanted which are not in my mom's budget list. Mom would say, "if you want them so bad then you have to save up for them." We were taught that thru saving, we have a chance of getting those things that we want. NEEDS are more important than WANTS.
You must also understand that basic financing and accounting are part of HS curriculum and you won't graduate without learning a thing or two about saving. In college, you will have a comprehensive/extensive financing and accounting knowledge depending on the course/degree you pursue. but the problem is, when you were here in PI you were only exposed to people in her barrio who are most likely uneducated (i assume most of the adults only finished grade school). so now i ask you, please, never assume anything. never generalize.
How Gretchen and her family handle their finances gives me an idea of their educational background and how they were raised when they were kids. This is basic, fundamental thing that should have been instilled in their brains while they were growing up. This should have been taught at HOME as well. So obviously, the school is not at fault here. And then again, remind yourself, these are people from the barrio. what do you expect?!
next time you come here, don't just focus your attention in her barrio. talk to other people outside her village. for you to get the general picture, you need to explore more... and discover more...
but of course there are Pinoys who will always spend more than they can afford... who are living way beyond their means... it is a fact. No one's denying that.
