    Good luck on your interview. Hopefully USCIS will start taking oath and approving application soon. I learnt that they suspended activities for now "no more approval and oath ceremony till further notice"

    Had my interview today. Went smoothly. Here's what I remember.

    After some administrivia, I was asked to read the question "Who lives in the White House?"
    Then I was asked to write the answer "The President lives in the White House."

    Then I was asked 6 civics questions:

    1) What is one promise you make when you become a United States citizen? (uphold the constitution)
    2) Name two national U.S. holidays (Xmas, Thanksgiving)
    3) Who was the first president? (George Washington)
    4) What movement tried to end racial discrimination? (Civil Rights Movement)
    5) Where is the Statue of Liberty? (NY Harbor)
    6) Who is the governor in your state? (Pat McCrory)


    I was then asked several of questions 30-43 from the N400 (the answer to all of which was "No")

    I was then asked questions 45-50 from the N400 (the answer to all of which was "Yes")

    I was then told that I had passed and would be scheduled for the oath. Unfortunately my oath is scheduled for Nov 9th so I won't be able to vote. I got my oath letter in a few minutes and was on my way.

    The immigrations officer I worked with was extremely friendly and cordial. The entire process was painless and done in about 15 minutes.



    Updating the matrix below. I'm going to cheat and turn it red before my oath so I don't have to update it again.

    Good luck all.

    i do not think that you will have a problem if you put it since you have a notation on your birth certificate... further, when you apply for NBI clearance... make sure that you also put in "other name used" in the NBI clearance application, some people got 221G because of this, which made them wait for weeks more...

    Theresa0828 got a reaction from Blue Bianchi in sending money to the family back in the phils   
    Hello, I am a filipina and this has been my problem ever since I got a job...
    My mom is a single mother and we kids have seen her hardships raising us... she support us by selling magazines and comics in the market when we are young, she has a small place and it was really a good business until almost everything become computerized and magazines and comics lost its charm. My older brother ask him to leave the business since he was earning a bit at that time and my my mom is incurring more debt than income.
    So right after my graduation, my brother said that he will start a family and they just waited for me to graduate, and if I can take care of my mom and my younger brother. I got a really good job, and young as I was, I think my first mistake was give most of my salary to my mother, leaving only an allowance for me to get on with the next pay day... I was thinking at that time that she can do the budgeting since she has been doing it for years... Later I realize that my mother doesn't know how to budget!!! She's a typical "one day millionaire", who cannot stop spending the money she has on her hand... and I realize that the way she runs the magazine business before was to borrow money in the morning to buy stocks from the publishing house... then pay it in the afternoon... so she was trying to do that with my salary... spent everything, borrow when all the money is gone... then pay when i give my salary again... I was dumbfounded and when I realize that... I decided to do everything in the house, pay the bills, grocery etc... and just give her a daily allowance like if she thinks of buying some snacks or something... She got so mad with this that it became a constant battle for us... So I decided to leave the city and went to Manila...
    I worked in Makati for 5 years and I told her... I don't know what will you do with the money, but this is the only monthly amount you are going to get every month... then I am also telling her how it is hard for me to live in the city, even if my salary is bigger, the cost of living is also higher... etc etc etc, she slowly changed but i can feel that it was a constant struggle, I still get surprises like she owes this much to this person... but at least its something manageable... and when i married my husband... i told them point blank that he is not rich... and i also told my husband before that please do not spoil her or show that you can spoil her...
    Right now, the arrangement was to give my mom P15,000 pesos (which is approx. $350), every month, she do not have to pay rent though coz she own the house. My older sister (she is japan-based and just became stable a few years back) and I alternate every other month which is really good. We still get surprises like we need to repair this side of the house or your nephew has to attend a jamboree camp or my brother need a new tire for the car but we are given enough notice... and my sister and I will talk who will give this or that...
    So the lesson of the story... Do not pamper them, if you start giving your hand, they will want your whole arm later.... And no matter how good you are with them... you will only be as good as the last money you sent... Disregard the small talk, just give what you can so that they can learn to live with that.

    Theresa0828 reacted to PeaMealBacon in We're both in tears over this. Please help. I can't be without her.   
    I'm really going to try to contribute to this community, I have found a lot of great information here. I'm a writer and a scientist; paperwork and follow-up is what I live for daily. This place is a gold mine!
    Our plan as of now is to do what was suggested -- I'm going to move our stuff down first and get us set up. From there, she's going to come on in for a visit, then subsequent visits. I travel a lot for work all over the freaking globe, so when I have to do an extended China trip (a month or two weeks) or something, she'll go hang out at home. We're going to figure this out; but believe me, this was a shock. A real serious "holy #######, what are we going to do" kind of shock. I plan, I figure, I do these things. This one was in a list of things we needed to get to, and the task before us is way larger than either of us initially had gotten perspective on seeing. I was working 75+ hour weeks and managing two product lines, this got moved into the "we'll get to it" category, which obviously was a miscalculation.
    Flamers, I know your individual cases are important. Ours is too, especially to my wife and I. I never said that your cases were unimportant, that was put in my mouth. Thanks for all of the help here though, it is invaluable.

    Just want to share that my husband passed away this morning... peacefully... he had brain cancer and we have been fighting for more than a year now... there was a point in our fight that we thought we are winning... but we lost... i am just thankful that he passed away peacefully... in his sleep, and i got the chance to tell him everyday that i love him... and that he is my love, my life, my world, my home and my everything...
    Whenever I read people here posting marriage not working out, just using me for greencard, giving up... and a lot of things... i am so sad...
    I found the perfect husband... the perfect person... and yet he was taken away from me in such a short time...
    I promise I will honor his name... i will honor our love... and I do not think I could love other person as much as I loved him... and still loving him... my love for him will not die until my last breath...

    You know, it is difficult to make a huge change in your life especially when you feel it is not for the better. I for one struggled with it myself...great job, great country that i lived in for 12 years of my life (Switzerland) and now I am to move somewhere with lack of jobs not knowing whether I can actually get a good job and continue my career path....it is a lot of unknowns and a lot to swallow and of course there is more to it than that....sometimes it feels like I am making a bad choice until I realize that without my fiance...no matter how much money i make, no matter how clean and ordered and perfect the country i moved from was....i was not really happy only comfortable living to work. He is what makes me want to wake up in the morning with a smile on my face and if it means making this huge move and change then I will. He is where my heart is and that is all that matters, the rest....we will work out together. He will help me and i am sure your significant other will do the same for you. Did you talk to your spouse about this ?
    Just thought I'd chime in with my feelings.

    Theresa0828 reacted to Mike & Mila in Anyone consider a pre-nuptual?   
    Depending on your age and your level of assests a pre-nuptial agreement is not only smart it is necessary.
    There are several elements to this. 1st--A pre-nuptial needs to be coodinated with your Will. If you are a little older you may have children from a previous marriage or other loved ones that you wish to leave something to after you pass. From this prospective both a will and pre-nuptial are necessary. In the state of Pennsylvania you cannot make a pre-nuptial that eliminates your spouse married, seperated from your estate.
    Also, if you have assests any lawyer will absolutly recommend a pre-nuptial. Such an Agreement can be designed to "assure" your wife that no matter what happens she will recieve x and Y and z from your or your estate. It can become a kind of "insurance policy".. It can become a little complicated but it is necessary for someone a little older and someone who possesses assests, property and things.

    Well said! Who would drive a new car or buy a house and not protect those assets/property with insurance.
    A pre-nup is nothing more than an insurance agreement between a couple that was agreed upon during the happy times, when love was new and fresh and when both parties were thinking with level heads. A pre-nup is like a wet blanket to cool off a pair (or one hothead) of 'hotheads' when/if the once good marriage 'crash and burns.'
    When a marriage starts to fail, folks can and do become extremely irrational and very unreasonable, more so when there are significant assets and large amounts of cash to fight over. Just like a pre-nup can assure the one earning a large income or holding the assets does not get 'taken to the cleaners,' it can also assure the other party of continued financial support without fear of being at the mercy of a greedy jerk or having to wait for a couple of months for the courts to get involved.

    First off, my sincere condolences. My marriage went t!ts up due to infidelity 11 months after we entered the US, despite having lived together abroad for a couple of years before we made the move. He and I tried to reconcile for almost a year while living separately, and did six months of marital therapy. Ultimately, though, you both have to be committed to counselling to make it work, and he wasn't. (In retrospect, although the break-up was cataclysmic, I've come out the other end happier and healthier than I've ever been as an adult.)
    You need to step back from all of this for a while, even though it is all you can think about (and will be for some time). What is the outcome you desire most of all? Is that outcome realistic? Does it involve her? Does she want to be involved?
    There are many on here who will say once a cheater, always a cheater. Personally, I don't agree that this is always the case. But you do need to look at your wife's history in this matter, and determine whether you can trust her. I don't know about you, but what was most painful to me was that he lied to me. Not being with another woman, but all the lies. He still lies to me about what happened, even though he and I have grown to be friends again. When you marry someone, you open yourself to them completely, bring them yourself and trust them with your heart and soul and body. Breaking that trust can be fatal. Only you and she know whether the trust can be rebuilt.
    My best advice would be not to do anything rash right now, when you are at your most vulnerable and most raw. It feels surreal, like you're walking in a dream, I know. If you can stay with friends now, do. Talk to your friends and family. They know you best. There are people on here who will tell you to go home, you have nothing invested here. Only you know how much you have invested here, in terms of life and relationship.
    It is your decision. Be strong, and take courage.

    You better believe we get Silver Swan.
    We went to the Filipino store just yesterday to buy some more. Of course, while we're there we also get Pancit Canton, Ginisa mix, and Nagaraya.
    As long as we don't get dried fish, I'm okay.
