Thanks guys for your input! Me and my wife are both kind of stay-home / introvert personalities, not many interest that require communication, neither we're religious to go to a church, plus she's more of a province girl - all contribute to kind of social isolation, so I thought meeting someone with similar background or situation would help her. But I remember my first migration, I felt the same - homesick, depressed and bored. It did go away in a few months, but it was quite a difficult time to survive. She does have a dream of going to college, we'll definitely explore this path, but even language courses are closed till September in our community college. But thanks for the Khan's academy hint - it can play very well with her wish to study. We are practicing driving, all good if I'm not pushing. It's ok if it will take a lot of time, or sign her up to private lessons if she feel it's easier. How did you find them? My wife tried to contact one from tiktok, but got a cold shoulder. And thanks for Tukwilla suggestion. Sorry, Seattle Jollibee next weekend, it's going to be Tukwila.

One month in the US, my newlywed wife is homesick and bored Meetup is useless, Seattle Filipino Community center looks to have only yoga classes, filipino Facebook groups are just selling stuff and posting videos. Tried to push her to some activities too hard and got a tampo. How did your filipina survived the first few months in a completely new environment? PS. They recently opened a Jollibee in Seattle!

I've got NOA2 dated Jan-18, haven't received anything from NVC. Pinged them through their inquiry form, got a reply today with NVC case number saying "All case parties will be notified when this petition is forwarded to the assigned U.S. Embassy/Consulate General." Status check says "At NVC".
