Still no biometrics appointment.

We called USCIS and spoke with one attendant, then to an officer, then made a request for service, and received a letter that we would get a biometrics appointment "when one became available".

They already have her fingerprints. Fingerprints do not expire. Making people do them again and holding up their immigration because of it proves how idiotic this system is, if you assume this is a free country. If you assume it is a police state, then it makes perfect sense: do what they tell you, when they tell you, no matter how stupid, and do not ask questions. Then you have it right: the government is our master and we are the slaves.

Yaiiks.

To say that freedom tastes better in your country is political.

I am from the Philippines, too. If you're not happy here in the U.S.A.,

I bet the Philippines will gladly take you back.

mrscrockett, you can be RFE'd anytime. I know waiting for all these paperworks to get done is making you more nervous each day. I kinda feel the same way. =( Hang in there.

I love the Philippines! In the Philippines, I don't need to drown myself in debt to get a car. I'll just go outside, flag a tricycle, a Jeepney or a bus to go to work or to go to different places.

In the town where I grew up, cops won't pull you over because they want to generate revenue. They will pull you over if you're a fugitive, a rapist or you're a killer.

If you make your own booze in this country, you'll be busted. In the Philippines, you can make your own coconut wine and sell it and earn a living without asking food stamps from the government or maybe pretending to be sick and not capable to work and receive disability pension. You can freely make your own living if you are really determined to feed your family. There are people selling food in the streets and no cop will bust your a**. You can put up a small food stand outside your house and earn without government intervention.

Is this what you call freedom in America?

I am not saying that I am not happy here. My husband is my home, shelter and happiness, not this country, where the basis of living is all about borrowing money to establish a life. Me, living here is not all about this country but about my family.

CREDIT SCORE is BADLY NEEDED if you're living in the United States. CREDIT SCORE CONTROLS PEOPLE AND THE WAY OF LIVING.

Millions and millions of Americans are working hard and earning good decent money but still, they have bad credit scores whereas, If you live in the Philippines, all you need is a steady job and income for you to be able to live your dream, get a house, send your kids to school, get a car and other life's comfort. Philippine banks does not require credit score and social security number.

You need a comfortable home = MORTGAGE LOANS - Never had this loan back home

You need new beds, sofas and appliances = Financing needed.... L.O.A.N.S. (No need for loans, I just need to work, save money and buy them one by one)

You want to study college = STUDENT LOANS- Never had this loan back home

You need CAR to buy a bottle of soy sauce from the grocery store = AUTO LOANS- Never had this loan back home

I'm free from debt back in the Philippines. I don't even have a credit card. I'm just being realistic and not being blinded by the materialistic world; Materialistic world that can be satisfied by digging yourself deep down to debt, debt and debt.

And if you don't like my comments here just stay quiet if you've got nothing good to say because I am not interfering with your life, I'm not soaking my toes in your comments. You started to bash me, so here I am.

And YES! Philippines will gladly take me back with wide open arms because I am very capable of doing good things to my country and to my fellow Filipinos.

Who is the uneducated here? You can't even refute me! Bahahahaha!!! This proves that all I am saying is true!

You're a big freakin' scared BIGOT for calling me uneducated "katulong" (servant/slave)Filipina.

You are so enslaved by your close mind and bigotry because your eyes aren't open yet about the reality of the world you're living in.

The Kudos goes to me!!!
