I only have my 2-year conditional GC, I wonder if its a good idea to visit the Philippines, or should I wait for the 10-year GC? And also, do they allow pregnant women to travel? Please help... Thanks!

And also, dun sa mga umuwi na sa pinas, magkano budget nyo? And gano kayo katagal nag stay? Thanks ulit!

Why Do I Love To Cook?

I love to make people happy and amazingly enough nothing can put a big satisfied smile on someones face after a good hearty meal. That's why I love to cook.

You can travel on your 2yr GC.

How much time before you need to ROC? If you within the 90 days - I would apply first, then get a stamp/letter to extend the GC for travel while you wait for the new one.

Most airlines will stop you from flying if your past 34 weeks, some will question you if your "huge" at 28 weeks.

If you have a note from the doctor saying it's safe, or the travel is urgent - you can usually go past that time frame - depends on the airline. (all though, your doctor may have a different opinion.)

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

I still have a year and a half before ROC, and I am only 24 weeks, but thank you very much for your respond.

you're ok to travel w/your gc but definitely get a dr's clearance at least 1 wk before you fly. madaming promos para sa pinas, google ka lang, mganda rin kung at least 3mos prior ka maghanap kasi mura pa ($700-900)kesa kung mlapit sa date na gusto mo (average 1000-2500), . whatever airline piliin nyo, magmember ka para mka-ipon ka ng miles. ang budget sa pinas depende kung saan kyo pupunta at planong gawin doon, kung kasama pamilya at kaibigan at kapitbahay. :)
