there must be another blog/forum you can find regarding this stuff. this is a forum for people who need visa related info not country specific food options...

Ha, if I can find Venezuelan PAN arepa flour in Central Wisconsin and even an arepa maker, you should be able to find Philippian foods in Virginia. But my gals, not accustomed to our huge grocery stores with plenty of very healthful foods to eat with thousands of choices learned how to change their diets. Both insist on being well fit and in good shape. Was going through the kitchen cabinets and found four way outdated bags of that arepa flour, told my wife about that, had to pitch those.

Are you kidding me?

Don't you think your fiancee will also be looking for Korean tastes of home too when she is felling a little homesick.

I think that's a bit harsh.

it was a misplaced thread - it's been moved to the appropriate regional forum.

All I did was a Google search for Philippine stores in my area and found 3 listed. I haven't tried to contact them yet, but will once my Pinay arrives.

May your visa journey be smooth and speedy.

woah...didn't realize my comments were so offensive. my only point was that there are many resources outside of the US CITIZENSHIP Forum to talk about food requests. I think the moderator agreed with me as such and moved the post to an appropriate section of the forum. Also, there are probably a thousand different forums and blogs on the internet that have a lot of resources. Just giving a friendly tip so that this person can find the food he/she is missing.
