hi to all! :D

hmmm updates... I have my SSN now after the delay of my I-94. It was not stapled to my passport when I arrived, so I went to Homeland office to get one for me and my son. So now I have my SSN card we opened a joint bank account yesterday, and like nbfsb I have been reviewing too, I might apply for driver's license once I had my exams done (thanks minang for the tip), and I'm still waiting for my hubby's ITR to complete our AOS papers. So far that's it. I hope all is well with the rest of the gang. ;)

WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Bat wala pa rin SSN ko? Mag isang buwan na!!!!!!!!!!

Nag-apply ka na ba o kompleto ka ba sa requirements mo? Hindi automatic yan sa K1 holders. Sa CR1/IR1/CR2/IR2 automatic kasi.

See the link for requirements.

May driver's license na ako. Hirap dito hindi ka makagalaw pag walang licensiya. Most valid id mo yun dito kasi nandun yung address mo. Aside from SSN, kailangan mo ito or state id to apply for a bank account, jobs, etc. Tapos dito hindi uso ang commute, mag-memetrolink ka, park and ride naman. Ang lalayo kasi ng mga lugar dito. Ang auto utility talaga.

Mamabuti dyan ka na matuto. Yung Pilipino driving habits, mahirap tanggalin. Mabilis ako magpatakbo at hindi daw ako lumilingon sabi ng examiner ko. Haha!

Basta practice lang....:)

Just checking. EAD mo ok na? Yung DHS matagal daw mag-verify sabi ng DMV sa akin kaya mag-follow up ka rin. Meanwhile focus ka muna sa bahay. :)

prettymomy, kumusta practice driving?

naputol ang practice, nagkasakit ang anak ko.

May sakit din ang anak ko. Ubo at sipon. Ang problema dito bawal ang gamot sa bata below five years old. Hanggang Vicks Vapo-Rub na lang kami Wala kami magawa kundi maghintay gumaling. Yun nga lang nakakaawa ang bata. Parating bugnutin kasi masama pakiramdam. :(

natatakot kasi ako magpractice driving dito kasi wala naman ako sa insurance ng asawa ko. ayaw naman ako bigyan ng learner's permit kasi may international license na ako. gusto ng dmv, license na talaga ang i-apply ko. sige, practice practice na lang ako.

try mo maglagay ng vicks vapor rub sa talampakan ng anak mo before going to sleep then suotan mo ng socks. it works para maka-sleep mabuti.

may dala ako na mga gamot ng anak ko kaya wala kami problema sa gamot.

May vapo-rub at vaporize kami. kaso may infection sa tenga ang anak ko. kaya naka-antibiotic ngayon. galing lang kami sa doctor kanina.

Nag-written exam ka na ba? pag nag-written exam ka na, may permit ka na. Sa Cali, hindi valid ang international license. Philippine license ang honored valid for 60 days.

Hi all!!! Ok, so at last natapos ko na pumunta sa civil surgeon... $25 to transcribe my vaccination supplement but... waaaaa!!! I had three vaccines again!!! E ano pa magagawa ng beauty ko e kailangan daw ma kumpleto ko na shots... I paid $220 for the vaccines plus the $25 so total of $245. Yung sa son ko, $50 ang siningil sa amin pero buti na lang di pa sya kailangan mag vaccine kasi age inappropriate. Madugo mga sisters and brother (that's you kuya manny)!!! Anyway, sana matapos na to. I got the forms I-693 in a few minutes lang kaya thankful naman ako. My papers are good to go na tomorrow...send ko na sya...hay! natapos din. Problem ko na lang yung social security ko. I think napa aga yata kuha ko ng ssn. I applied kasi on the 10th day after I arrived. Ayun, wala pa rin hanggang ngayon and I was told it can take up to a month kasi they need to verify from Department of Homeland Security. Yun lang update ng buhay ko. How's everyone???

Ganun..? Kelangan talaga taposin yung vaccines bago isubmit yung documentation sheet? Kaloka nman!!

I'm due to have my HPV vaccine (2nd dose), Tdap and MMR (2nd dose)..

Kaya lang di ko maremember kung after 2 months ko ba dapat kunin yun o this Feb na.. Had my medicals at SLEC last January..

Kelan ang due ng vaccines ninyo..? HELP!!

ganun talaga dito. pati ako parang baguhan magdrive kahit may DL na ako.

Tips.

1) Magpractice drive ka sa Stockton DMV para makabisa mo ang rota. Kung may intructor ka, pasama ka.

2) Always lingon pagliliko kahit change lane lang. Look at rear view mirror then side rear view mirror then lingon (yung todo lingon) tapos liko. Marami ang nadadali dito.

3) Pag-aatras tingin sa likod at huwag sa salamin. Kahit sanay ka pa. Babagsak ka kaagad diyan.

4) Pwede ka mag-right turn pag stop pero dapat stop ka for 3-4 seconds tapos konting usod sa harap. Tapos pagclear na kanan. Abante kaagad. Dami nadadali din dito. At huwag ka lumampas sa linya.

5) Magpractice ka sa unprotected left. Ito yung walang left signal light. Green light lang ang meron. Sanayin mo umabante kapag green pero diretso pa rin ang gulong. Bagsak ka kaagad kung mali ka dito.

6) Sanayin mo sarili mo sa right of way sa 4 or 3 way stop.

7) Wag ka lumampas sa speed limit at huwag mabagal masyado. Bagsak ka kaagad din dito.

You are allowed 15 minor mistakes pero isang mali lang sa major ay bagsak ka na. Good luck sa iyo at sa sino pa man mag-eexam pa. :)

A GPS unit also is a good investment.
