Gary, i always find cheaper tickets online by using one of the following. As always check them all and keep checking as the prices always change.

AllCheapFares

BestTravelStore

TravelPH

Kayak

There are many more, but these seem to get me where I am going for the best price. Also check the PAL website. ken & Maria

I felt like a virgin, touched for the very first time!

Hi PW....just want to ask if my own ITR and other proof of documents here in the Phils. are needed for my interview.Or is it just my bf's Affidavit of Support and other supporting documents about his income that we should prepare?Thanks a lot in advance.You've been a great help to everyone here esp. to a newbie like me........

Mafiaprincess...

The petitioner (your fiance and not bf... I'm sure that you don't address him that way or at least I hope so ) completes the I-134 Affidavit of Support and provides the appropriate back-up documentation for you to submit during your visa interview.

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling

p.s. - What did your question have to do with PW feeling like she was a virgin touched for the very first time? Hahahahaha....

HI Gracy_Byron! I don't know where you guys are located but base on your profile you have the California USCIS office so I am guessing you are in California Try TRAVELFAST INTERNATIONAL/MANGO TOURS. They have offices both northern and southern California (San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles) http://www.travelfast.com/ 877-262-6452. Been purchasing tickets with them since 1993 so they are pretty reasonable when it comes to fare to the Philippines. Hope this helps.

Hello All,

As we have a few well versed immigration people in this forum, I was wondered if anyone had an explanation for the following:

Looking through the K1 visa timelines I noticed that two of them, one filed at the CSC and the other at NCS recieved there K1 NOA2 approval within one week of getting there NOA2, both were for Cuban spouses. Now we all know that vermont can get some of them threw in two weeks because they have only a small portion of all K1's filed across country and california takes 3-5 months on average.

So why did two K1's for cuban beneficiaries able to get through california in under a week? I have seen no others that even come close to that going through CSC. Is there special policies for immigrants from certian countries?

Just wondering.

Thanks All

Thanks a lot Coco Puff and Lina! I called TRAVELFAST already on my vonage phone< you can talk and talk to your honey and relatives in the US for only $25 a month> they said they will call me back after 30 mins.

[Coco Puff 0]

Glad you call them ...they're pretty reasoble plus you talk to a live person and of course you can visit their local offices. You can compare their quote fare prices to the online prices like cheaptix, travelocity, etc. before you buy. By the way...tell us about that VONAGE $25/month for unlimited international calls...is that true? Never heard of it .

Delbros sent me a text message that my visa/passport will be delivered anytime between yesterday and tomorrow. How about you Dave & Fleur? Any news?

Good luck to Dean/Gra, and Mike/Marivic. Let's keep ElMasGuapo in our prayers as his fiancee undergoes more tests next week. Hang in there!

Thanks PatientlyWaiting, I appreciate those kind words...

Its so sad to come this far only to find out that we are delayed again, and possibly even more...

I hope for the best as I am praying so much that my baby doesn't have TB or anything...

Nevertheless, thank you everyone for their kind words.

I wish the best for everyone and hope everyone that has an interview next week goes through it smoothly with no problems at all.

Take care friends

Congrats to all those done, and those still waiting, and to those who have run into hurdles, may the Hands of God help them thru their times of sorrow, and find their way to being together. Just wanted to also post Rose's Interview info. Pretty basic, and standard as I see it, but just so you can see they are basically kind, and forthright in their approach.Just thought I would let you know as you seen that Rose is good to go now, and awaiting Delbros to deliver her Visa. Then on to the CFO Seminar to get her stamp on her Visa, and her appointment to inform her on entrance into the US at the seminar. But some of her questions that she could remember were these, and said it was around 14 or 15 questions in all she thinks.

Petitioners Full Name

What is the name of the place I work

How Long have I been working there

What is my work schedule

They told her my Moms name, and asked who that is

How long were were me and my X married

Where were we married (Me and Rose) this time

What kind of ceremony was it

What was the date of the marriage in the Phils

What is her purpose of coming to the US

How long does she plan to stay in the US

Hope that helps, and basically just standard questions if you ask me, but I never told her my work schedule because I work all the time, and even work overtime when I can, almost every day, so I basically live at work for now, and did not think that mattered. So she panicked ,and said she does not know, but they still gave her the familiar pink slip saying she passed, and told her to pay her Visa Fee for Delbrose, and attend the CFO Seminar, and then she said they told her to go home to your husband. Hope it is good to go now, and we await her Visa to be delivered.

God Bless all, and may your prayers all be answered, and safe journeys be found in the lives of those on their journeys.

Randy n Rose.

You can compare their quote fare prices to the online prices like cheaptix, travelocity, etc. before you buy. By the way...tell us about that VONAGE $25/month for unlimited international calls...is that true? Never heard of it .

Coco Puff

I got that vonage idea from Kuya Gary and Ate Luz from 1 of their posts. Its like this if you have a DSL/broadband connection at home its gonna work, there's a router that youll have to plug into your pc connection and with a cordless phone you can talk to your loved ones in the US till you want. On my case I have the Sacramento area code and I call Byron on his landphone and cellphone and vice versa whenever we want for $25 a month, thats all. Its really great no more $1500 monthly bills for us Byron ordered the router, sent it here, I set it up and got myself cordless phones and I'll leave it here so I can talk to my family whenever I want for $25 a month when we moved in the US . You can check this site www.vonage.com for additional details

[rogail 2]

gracy_byron, don't forget to tell Coco Puff that they should allow your fiance to invite them to order the vonage box thru refer a freind. Your fiance will get 2 months voinage service free.....

Ailene and I use the vonage too. It's so good. The connection is excellent...and its unlimited!!
