I read one of Mae's posts in April that her husband died a few days after her biometrics. It's so sad. I don't know what became of her AOS.

Hope all is well with you all.

That is so sad,,, I hope she's holding up well. That makes me wonder too if she can pursue the application...

I heard of a case similar to this on Citizen Pinoy (thank you TFC!) and the lady was able to pursue the petition...

[Pinay Wife 47]

I think a widow can self-petition by using a form called I-360. Not sure though of the degree of difficulty getting approved based on that petition. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-360.pdf

We don't know what tomorrow brings so treat each day as if it were our last. Seize and cherish every moment that we have with our loved ones, friends, family.

ahh.. just got my third heart today.... of coarse the third one is the big heart I have...

it could br nice if this thread could get back to it's roots and have a timeline.

that way members could check a timeline in one place instead of 2 or 3 different threads.

I also agree......my husband and I spend as much time together and on his day off we are always together.

My husband and I also pray everyday not only for us but for those Fil_Am couples like us to love and care each other everyday and always.

Short stories: Before my husband and I met...he has a neighbor who was married to a Filipina. He constantly beat her up and after 25 years she finally divorced him.

Another Filipina who used to work in the company where he now works, also was a battered wife and now they are divorced but somehow she ended up somewhat like a part-time prostitute and she is in her early fifties now. Last week she went to the company to ask for a reference for a new job. My husband told her that he married a Filipina and she said to him....take good care of her and don't destroy her; do not be like my ex-husband.

Life is so short and full of mysteries and surprises, you never know what will happen next. Be glad you have each other and cherish every moment while you can.

Say how much you love each other as often as you can, who knows it might be the last time you ever say it ...let it be your last words.

guess what! USCIS returned our overpayment of $340!! isn't that great?! i really thought we wasted an overpayment..they returned the cheque with a letter stating that we had an overpayment.. yey!

really? it's only $1,010? for AOS plus EAD? did i just wasted $340 for EAD? we issued 2 cheques, $1,010 for AOS and $340 for EAD? gosh! would they return the excess amount to us?

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO GOT APPROVED AND GOT THEIR GREENCARD...

get this through smoothly...I will also file an EAD with this form...am i right that the total fee is $1010?

thanks again...

You may want to use the sample form here in VJ as your pattern because that's what I did, but to answer your questions, here it is.

1. Just you and your husband's address, don't worry about the C/O

2. K1 Visa holder

3. Yes

4. K1 or K1 Visa holder

5. You have to make this one clear because I looked for this on my own form and didn't find it

I believe it's correct, $1010 including AP and EAD. Good luck!

I agree I hope those putting up interview skeds do it here. This forum is for Manila Interview thread anyway. There are a lot of veterans here that could really help them alot especially PW (reyna VJ Manila Interview Info).

Sorry po but I'm just suggesting, let's revitalize the old manila thread!

I think it is fair that we go back to the original intent of this thread. I hope those who are waiting for interview would move to this thread to eliminate 2 or 3 threads of the same topic.

We welcome all those who are waiting for interview from January onwards. We will add your timeline so would appreciate

your giving us all relevant dates. You may also ask questions about the visa process here. Thanks.
