Excuse my ignorance, what is P1+promo?

I just got off the phone with the USE in Manila and Lorraine told me no one has a June interview scheduled yet. I asked if they are usually scheduled by the fifteenth and she told me not this time. She suggested I call back in two weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, deep breaths and back to patience mode.

I also want to let you know I finally got the visa deliveredApril 12th in Tuguegarao City, Cayagan.

POE will be the 21st of April....

Thank you and again good luck...

[island_princess 2]

Sorry for the confusion, "P1+" means 1 pesos + plus tax.

For the PAL regular fare, it will cost you around around 9,000 pesos round-trip, whereas for this Cebu Pacific promo, it will only be around 2,500 pesos.

Okay, this is for sure off topic here. but, Made my journey through this room, so I decide I would share what facts my investigative work has brought forth into evidence this week. As most of you know, I was married in the Philippines on December 29, 2005, well my wife arrived here in the USA on February 7, 2007. She had daily problems with homesickness and seemed to never be happy regardless. She left for a bike ride on the moring of April 6 and has never returned since. At first I was worried and heart broken, then I decided to do some investigating last week. Here is a copy of the letter that I sent to someone that I have been talking to by PM on a regular basis. He asked for an update, so here it is:

You won't believe this. I was contacted by a lifelong friend of my wife's that said she felt compelled to tell me what was going on. I seems that my wife is a lesbian. It is a well known fact in the community that she grew up in that she is. The cousin she refers to, is not her cousin, but her lover. Her cousin aka lover is awaiting her interview now, as she is married to a man in Arizona. I whole-heartedly believe this was a 100% scam for the two of them to be together in the USA. I know from what my wife said that her cousin/lover had no intentions of staying with her husband once she received greencard. Little did I know that the same was being done to me. I am almost 100% positive that my wife is in the USA still. Through online research, I found her picture posted on a website looking for other females in my city. The date it was posted was two days after she left, she also said she is single on this site. I found a couple pictures of naked women in her computer as well. This whole thing I believe was pre-meditated by her. I also know for fact that the cousin/lover has been living with her for over 3 years. I also know that my wifes family knows she is lesbian 100%. I never even thought she could be this way, what a con-artist. In fact, the whole family participated in this scam from the Mother to sisters. Now, I am faced with the loss of many thousands of dollars on her, her family, etc. I spent a lot of hard earned money on these people so they could have air-conditioning, new furniture, appliances, electronics, 2 new Honda motorcycles and not to mention home repairs and spending money. It makes me feel like fool, but it also pisses me off. I put my heart on the line and 19 months of my life flying back and forth during the waiting. She even clipped me for a top notch wedding for 500 people. I don't want vengeance, but I don't want her to be allowed to remain in the USA. I had not applied for her AOS and I am glad of that. I sure as hell would like to see her deported! I am even contemplating calling the man in Arizona and telling him these facts. Now, I have to find out how to get a divorce from her and I guess I will never be able to marry another Filipina, as I was married in the Philippines. Can you believe this? Now we see why the Manila embassy is so strict. I am sure this is just one example. Thanks for listening.

Glenn, how was your love life with her? Did she seem giving, interested, etc. or did she always make an effort to kill any romantic feeling you might have. I wouldn't ask but you seem ready to move on now. It's amazing how she got everyone in her family to go along with it. I guess if her parents thought it was a good idea to rip you off, at least you know how she came by her deceptive nature. Good luck untangling this mess...

Well if it makes you feel any better, you are not alone. I have a lot of friends in the expat communities of Subic Bay (former U.S. Naval Base) and Angeles City (former Clark AFB) and there are so many jokes about naive foreigners supporting girls through Western Union. In the internet cafes you can see them on Yahoo chat talking to 6 guys at the same time (6 "windows") asking for money for this "emergency" and that "emergency". Passing by the local Western Union office you can see the girls lined up on a daily basis. Being "online" has become a career for these enterprising young Filipinas. The Internet has made a big difference since the "old days" of penpals - much more deceptive IMO.

Success at the CFO! Fely had to text me to remind her when my first marraige occurred, but other than that and her starving from not eating breakfast or lunch until 3 pm, it was an easy deal. She has her CFO certificate, and will go to the DFA tomorrow to get her passport name changed. Hey, its only taken 5 months.

[louiejane2903 0]

this is such a sad news...and clearly stated that everything was planned by ur lezbo wifey. I am a Filipina but i strongly believed that u have to do something her to be deported since it's a clear fraud and marry u just for convenienece...a total scammer. Since she still needs to lift her condition months from now..u still have a chance to barge her from getting the permanent residency.

Don't let her ruin ur life again. I guess ur a good guy deserves not to be treated like that.

Goodluck to u my friend and i am so glad that ur still not traumatized upon marrying another filipina.

God bless.

[David-and-Mae 15]

Thanks for replying Roy and Yazi. Oh yeah Kayz goodluck to both of you. Mae did you look into the embassy appointment site yet? Are you in? Hope your included for the June batch

Hi Gracy! Apparently, I will have to suffer for a couple of days clicking on their appointment site since they still don't have it as of yet. This is killing me. Well the good news is, after getting lost in Manila, starved to death, blistered feet and missing 10:00am session, I finally had my CFO seminar at PRISM today. Boy, it was a long day for me. But everything went smoothly during the seminar especially during the one on one counselling as it was the Executive Director who gave me the counselling. We kind of talked like old friends and while others were asked for some pertinent documents, she didn't ask me for anything. She's sooo friendly and I like her. She even gave me her calling card and asked me to get in touch with her once I'm in US. It is so true that there's a silver lining behind every cloud.

I hope to get my med and interview schedules so I can finally make concrete plans. I want to have the medical done right away and concentrate on the interview.

To my fellow future JUNE BATCH, I guess we'll have to keep looking out for it!

Mae

[David-and-Mae 15]

Fely's leaving for her CFO seminar shortly. I don't know if she's going to PRISM or SMEF-COW, apparently neither does she. She stayed in Port Bonifacio last night so PRISM is closer, but since she's going to Marikina City afterwards, SMEF-COW is on the way there I think. I believe Mae (VJ member) said she's going to PRISM today, so maybe they will see each other, who knows. I'm a little worried the CFO people will ask her for some papers that she needs from me. I don't know how Fely would react if I told her to find a place I can FAX papers to her. I'm fairly certain she's never received a FAX. Anyway I'll let y'all know how it goes soon as I can find out.

Hello! If Fely took her seminar at PRISM, I will surely meet her even though I missed the 10:00am slot. Anyway, I'm glad that she's done with it too. I planned of getting the certificate and the sticker once I got the visa. All I got today is the yellow card or the Certificate of Attendance.

Glenn&Rosemarie aka Glenn&Lezbo

I have been reading about this case and now i can't help but give my opinion.

A good man doesn't deserve a treatment like this. She's heartless and definitely a SCHEMER. This is really a sad situation. I hope her conscience eats her forever, but apparently she has NONE(based on what have been written). When i hear about the people esp from foreign nationals a sad and bad impression that Filipinas marry foreign men just because of money or just to get out of the country to have a better life, it hurts me a lot. And now this woman just proved that NOTION about us Filipina Ladies. Obviously, she has no delicadeza and doesn't know anything about DIGNITY and PRIDE. If more women do this kind of thing (just like what beameup related above) then soon its going to generalize the OPINION about the Philippine women and other nationalities would never give us complete trust and love as it's affected with those kinds of FRAUD by our kababayans. Although we know that everybody is different. But still I believe that it affects the thoughts about us, how about US who SINCERELY and DEVOTEDLY love our partner, with GENUINE AFFECTION and NOT for MONEY as we have capability to earn our own money with just the right opportunity, and with our intelligence and beauty (inside and out) in nature. I hope men don't get paranoid and still give the TRUST and FAITH in their wives/partners, just what they deserve, but also to those who are just starting, ANALYZE your relationship and the woman's behavior towards anyone and especially towards you(men).

It's nice to preserve the good impression about us being FAITHFUL, LOYAL, SINCERE, LOVING, HONEST and IDEAL WIFE, among others. We have to take care of our dignity to deserve respect in return.

Glenn&Rosemarie aka Glenn&Lezbo

I know it took a lot of courage to post all that. Like many in here, we wonder at times if we really know this person whom we are in love with, from far away. So hard to develope trust over the internet. I'm sure scammers like her have learned all the secrets to success. I can't say I would have acted any different than you did. I'm sure her family even convinced you that she had such "good intentions". Did you know, Liars burn in hell!!!! I feel sorry that she did this to you. I hope she is removed immediately if it makes you feel better. I am happy to know you would consider another filipino lady and not let this one get you down. You have helped me so much with my journey. Thanks Glenn. Please keep us updated or send me a msg. if you wish to talk some. I'm here for you Brother!!

She should go to hollywood and be an actress! The greed for money makes many people forget God's teachings. I would have never dreamed I was being used. She seemed to be a sweet loving woman. I was wrong very much.
