Hi, everyone.

 

I recently moved to Detroit with my husband last August 2017 and Visajourney has been a great resource for me throughout the K1 visa process. We sent my AOS paperwork to the NVC and I hope I get approved sooner than later.

 

I thought that moving to the US would be easy since there are a lot of pop culture similarities with the Philippines and the USA. I was wrong. Up until now, I am still experiencing culture shock. 

 

Hope to meet more people through this forum. Cheers! ^_^

I haven't met any Filipinas in the Asian store but I've found a few Filipino stores near us. There aren't a lot of Filipinos in Detroit but I hope to find more of them in the nearby cities. ^_^

my soon to be is Filipina,  and it tears me up when I see couples walking hand in hand, but soon!!  If you are on FB, you can start your own group on FB for those from the Philippines and you should meed many as they would flock to your new chat site!  My Fiancée has traditionally spent several months during Christmas here on a visitor visa, but to assure she can maintain her culture, I've got the Philippine channels on tv for her.

Nice tips. :D I'd look into getting The Filipino Channel (TFC), then.

I hope you didn't send your AOS paperwork to NVC as that is the wrong place

YMMV
