Ei Jackie, the wedding went well. Family from New Jersey drove over, so I still had family with me I don't think I have to rush with the SSN since as ronmay said, it won't make a difference. How's your thing with the DMV? Figured out what to do yet?

imaskin - You might have to get a copy of the DS form from back home.. or you can get a titer done here, so they can tell which vaccines you -have- gotten. And yeah, I assume there'll be fees for that - nothing's free in the land of the free. Except huge chunks of ice falling from the sky! The first week I was here, hale was reported to be the size of baseballs. I didn't know cuz I didn't go out then.

I didn't know about the TB skin test, though. Sent the AOS thing yesterday, but only found out about the TB skin test today. Bleh. I'll probably get it done when we have an interview scheduled... Buti na lang the CS is like 15 minutes' drive away from here! But really, if I'd known, I wouldn't have insisted that I didn't need it when they tried to make me take the test before. Haha. Oh well. (This is why I'm doing it later - hoping they'd forget that I was the one who fobbed off their attempts to ####### me with needles)

Hi Iya! They said I need to have my passport change into new one where i a, using married name. its ok il do it later better to wait for an aos approval ithen take the rest after that, Im glad to hear from u again. miss u girl!take care and give my regards to ur hubby.

hi VJ'ers, just want to thank this site and for your very informative replies and posts that helped me and my fiance get through the interview we had last July 5th, yes we got approved!! We picked up our visa last July 9th..I just never had the time to update you guys, since me and Dave got busy with planning things, for the flight and things to do while im still here in Philippines, I wont be leaving until November anyway, he still have some work to finish, same thing here with me..

for those who will be having their interviews soon,goodluck and dont forget to pray, having your petitioner with you at your interview is really a big help. Dave was asked a lot of questions, not me! hehe, that made it easier for me.

Hello all! Just dropping by to say that my life is never been better since I got here in US with my sweetheart. Yun nga lang medyo busy with the upcoming wedding this coming Saturday. Don't worry, I'll post my wedding pictures right away. It's good to be here although the adjustments to make were pretty hard. I had trouble getting rid of the jetlag in my system but after a week, I was doing so much better. David and I are getting along well. He's been introducing me to everybody and then on Friday, most of his relatives are coming down for our wedding so there's going to be a quite reunion. So far, I've been getting good comments among his friends and relatives that I have met when we celebrated 4th of July in Arkansas. They're all nice and they made me feel welcome.

I got homesick last Friday and cried a river in the church. We go to mass everyday. Kakatuwa nga kase their mass here is the same with ours (only it's in English) so I'm not really at a loss. I haven't really explored a lot since we're always busy for the wedding. I am also staying with a Filipino couple during the night until we got married. It's hard but they're nice naman and they treat like their own daughter. On my wedding day, since I don't have a relative here, they will stand as my parents and be the one who will walk with me on the aisle and give me away. It's so sad because I really wish I could have my own family and friends here. Hopefully, everything will turn out great on that special day. It's just a small ceremony but solemn, warm and sincere. What matters most is David and I get married.

After the wedding, I won't be able to relax (for real) since I will be working on some paperwork... AOS, ugh! Hopefully it won't be too bad. Once we have filed it, only then that we can really enjoy each other.

Anyway, this will be all for now. Just popping in and out

--Mae
