Manila Embassy Interview

[Glenn & Rosemarie 0]

yahoo! The Delbros website updated and says that the Visa was released by the US Embassy to Delbros at 10:18am. It was sent to the distribution center at 6:15pm for delivery. I just hope and pray that she receives it Thursday. We hope that she gets it Thursday, as she will fly from Cagayan de Oro Friday morning to get the CFO sticker, then to the USA on Saturday. We haven't bought tickets yet, but I can get them in a flash on NWA.com. I haven't seen her since August 30, 2006. Even though I went to the Philippines to see her 4 times last year. Finally the waiting is almost over! I wish to thank all of you that have been so supportive, helpful and considerate. The VJ group (Manila Embassy Interview Group) is a very fine group of people.

Special thanks to:

I wish everyone at VJ a very happy and prosperous life together. God bless you all!

We wish you the very best as well. Not to boast, but the best people are here in the Manila Embassy Thread. You are all indeed a wonderful group of people. It is my pleasure to be associated with all of you. May your lives be filled with joy, love, prosperity, peace, and grace.

You are right about this being a great group of people here on the Manila Embassy Thread. It is so refreshing for me to read the posts here. People here care about others and will always take the time to help another person. I wasted $3000 on an attorney for my wife's Visa. He basically did little of nothing for us. You guys on this forum provided me not only with the information I needed, but proved to me that there is still "genuine good people" on this planet that care about others. Thanks from both of us.

We would like to encourage the "silent majority" of Manila thread and the "lurkers" to join in our discussion. Don't be shy to ask questions. Someone would always try to find answers for you.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else noticed that PW is holding out on the pics. She'll post on as a personal pic and a avatar every six months. That's movie star status. I'm also betting that PW does not do grant interviews either. It must be nice to be a mega star. LOL! May I have your autograph?

Hey Sheriff, you're blowing my cover! I'm trying to be mysterious here. Well, the magazines say guys like their women to have an air of mystery about them, soooo..... trying to get that air (and all I've got is a lot of airhead )

Sheriff, can you pretty please PM me your email address as I need to send you the scanned Pre-Interview Letter for your Phil-Am K1 post. I tried to send it to you through snapfish but I'm not computer-savvy so I think it failed.

Glenn, you mean you did not know about the immigration office of the Sheriff & Associates, Esq.? Wow, $3,000!!!! Hey Sheriff, how's the bank account doing?

RiggerAF, any news about your son's visa? Waiting to hear from roundbo and neonspark and from sway and edz2006 re visa delivery.

Vic&el, your time has finally come. Good luck tomorrow!

We would like to encourage the "silent majority" of Manila thread and the "lurkers" to join in our discussion. Don't be shy to ask questions. Someone would always try to find answers for you.

Okay, I have a question. This may be difficult for anyone to answer, but her goes. Fely is plagued by frequent boils (she call them pimples) on her back. Her entire family gets them, but they have been particularly bad for her since I visited her last May and we both had them. I believe I caught them from her (through intimate contact). Since I have returned to the US, I've stopped getting them (though my scars remain). She goes through periods when she has none, then suddenly several break out. I believe something in her environment is causing them (maybe the water?).

I have been trying to get her to go see a doctor. Probably a shot of penicillan would make them go away. But the scars will remain for a long time. I am now worried, after reading about other's visits to Saint Lukes, that these scars may cause a problem for her when she goes to her medical. These boild are communicable though contact.

I'm wondering if anyone reading this thread is familiar with this condition. And if so if you know what is involved in curing them. For Fely it has been something she has grown up with and accepts it as normal. But I know that is not the norm for most Filipinos. Any suggestions anyone might have would be appreciated, and if this is something that won't be a problem at the medical, please let me know. Thanks.

Gary,

Have her go to a doctor to look at this condition before her medical exam at St. Luke's. I would highly recommend every beneficiary to see a doctor before the medical exam. Jinky went to her OB/GYN about a month ago to find out she had a UTI and probably had it for months.

p.s. Just wanted to add that the medical exam is more a 'medical clearance' - the beneficiary shouldn't be going there to first discover anything wrong with them medically so if they haven't had a physical in awhile, they should go see a doctor prior to the exam.

I think a doc could give her something for that. Anyway they will ask about the scars at the medical exam. My fiancee had some small scars from working in a meat shop (cutting herself) and they asked her about that. If your fiancee is under treatment and the boils are gone I think she will have a much better chance of getting through the medical with no delays.

Now I am confused ~ I only posted two pictures. The first one being the old one of myself and my "hot"Doug (his name is Douglas ) and then this current "mug shot" which is my new avatar. Hmm, someone was posting pictures while I was sleeping? I hope they were not x-rated!

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if anyone here had thier K2(derivative) being put under review. I still don't receive the visa of my son. Any input would be helpful. I feel so helpless and the call center can't even tell us why it is under review. They keep telling us to just wait and it will come out soon but when? Prayers and advice will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I am now worried, after reading about other's visits to Saint Lukes, that these scars may cause a problem for her when she goes to her medical. These boild are communicable though contact.

The scars that St. Lukes watch out for are cuts that appear to be a "slices" in the following places:

(1) wrists - for sign of suicide attempt

(2) arms - for sign of drug use

(3) abdomen - for sign of caesarean cut and stretchmarks [especially for single ladies who claim not to have given birth]

(4) "down there" - for sign of childbirth

The St. Lukes doctors also routinely ask patients to show them scars left behind by chicken pox.

Does Fely live near the former Clark Air Base? There was an issue there before about toxic wastes left behind by the Base. I would suggest a visit to the dermatologist to identify the cause of the boils or pimples and to prescribe medicines.

I should not worry about the scars at the back Gary. They can be explained away as "galis" (translation? scabies?). Lots of Filipinos get "galis" while growing up. I know I did yaiksss!!!

Thank you, PW, you put my mind at ease as well. Jinky and I are in the same boat - she was never married, but her son's biological father's name is on his BC. She did contact the DSWD and they told her no travel clearance was needed as well as the nuns at her CFO, but I was still a little worried whether they meant that only in the case of travelling abroad, whereas he is actually immigrating to the US with his mother. Big sigh of relief! Thank you, thank you!

You're very much welcome Steven. Hurrah to our laws for recognizing the Filipina mothers. We are usually the ones left to bear the brunt of bringing up our children when the father decides to do a Houdini so why give them any parental right, right? They don't deserve it.

I'm glad there aren't many Filipino guys around here

[sunandmoon 450]

For all those with K-2's, I hope all goes well and you'll soon be united as a family. AFRigger, I hope your situation will be resolved soon. know it must be frustrating not knowing why it's in AR.

one of the things I treasure most about my relationship with Yazi is her daughter now has someone she can call dad.

I should not worry about the scars at the back Gary. They can be explained away as "galis" (translation? scabies?). Lots of Filipinos get "galis" while growing up. I know I did yaiksss!!!

Thanks PW (you really do know everything don't you?) and the others that responded. No she does not live near Clark, she's lived at the Zambales coast all her life. Though she did go to college in a town near Mt. Pinatubo (I don't think it exists anymore) and she does go to Angeles City often to sell her bbq sticks. I will definitely have her see a doctor. I keep asking her to go, and she has been to get treated for low blood pressure, but the boils have never come up. I'm just fishing for more information here so I can intelligently let her know what she is dealing with. Wow "galis", haven't heard that before, I'll have to google it.

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if anyone here had thier K2(derivative) being put under review. I still don't receive the visa of my son. Any input would be helpful. I feel so helpless and the call center can't even tell us why it is under review. They keep telling us to just wait and it will come out soon but when? Prayers and advice will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Zane

P.S.: Steven_and_Jinkys avatar and picture in siggy is freaking me out lol
