Hi Sisses!

I'm a newbie here.  ;) ayun, may problem kasi ako, i hope maliwanagan ako.

My boyfriend kasi has an H4 Visa. Mag-eexpire before his birthday, so sa Jan. 30, 2008 mag-eexpire na. Mom nya is a registered nurse, nasa US na ngayon. Kasama na ng mom nya yung sister nya (h4 visa holder din) dun sa US ngayon-- nauna na silang umalis (nung Sept 2008 pa). My problem is this: Sa Christmas, pinapapunta na dun yung boyfriend ko. Sabi ng mom nya mag-vivisit lang ang boyfriend ko dun. But we (ako and my bf) have this kutob na baka gumagawa na ng move yung mom nya para sa migration nila or something. It's his mom's dream daw na magsama-sama sila sa US (that means, i'll be left behind  :( )The truth is, ayaw ng bf ko na magpunta sa US dahil recession nga dun and he thinks wala syang matinong job na makukuha dun na related sa course nya (BS Economics sa UP Diliman) and aside from that, maiiwan nya ako dito sa Pilipinas (how sad). 2 semesters na lang at gragraduate na kami.

Now, paano pag sa December, pagpunta nya sa US ay pilitin sya ng mom nya na mag-stay na doon. In the first place, hindi pa sya graduate dito (so basically anong work ang maghihintay sa kanya dun? Gasoline boy? Cashier etc? Come on!) Secondly, kung sinasabi ng mom nya na mag-aaral sya dun (further studies or i-cocontinue ang studies), magkano naman ang gagastusin sa college? Mahirap yata yun dahil mahal ang cost of living sa US and nandun din ang sister nya, then nag-rerent lang sila etc.

What do you think-- ano ang ways na gagawin ng mom nya? Magsestay ang bf ko dun for years? H1-B and mom nya and H4 ang bf ko. Paano/ ano ba ang mga process na gagawin ng mom nya, e mag-21 years old na ang bf ko. Help naman dyan, yung mga knowledgeable sa US visa conversion etc. Iiwanan ba nya ako? How many years? Or pwde ba syang i-petisyon at dito muna sya stay sa Pilipinas? What???

We are really desperate.

Thanks so much. Hoping for your reply =D

Hi sis, ganito rin kasi nagyari sa amin ni boyfie 3 years ago. ang kaibahan lang 15 years nilang hinintay yung petition kaya no choice siya kundi sumama sa buong family niya sa US. bale long distance relationship kame and so far nakaka survive naman kami sa ganitong situation. :D
naging caregiver muna siya dun to earn money kaya every year nakakauwi siya dito sa pilipinas. at saka after 9months niyang stay dun, fortunately naka pass siya as US-RN kaya nurse na siya dun for 2 years. if 21 years old na yung bf mo and malapit na mag expire, baka maiwan siya dito sa pinas pag di nakahabol. kasi diba hanggang 21 years old lang? though im not really sure ha.
if ever naman na matuloy nga siya this christmas papunta US, siguro accept niyo na lang if ganun talaga destiny, i know mahirap mahiwalay pero if may maayos naman na communication, i think magtatagal naman yung relationship katulad nga nung sa case ko, mag 4 years na kame long distance relationship nakakasurvive naman. saka pwede ka naman niya makuha once maging american citizen siya. yun nga lang five years dapat siya nandun sa US para maging american citizen. pwede rin siya magbakasyon sa pinas basta wag lang lalagpas ng more than 6 months. im not familiar with H4 visa kaya di ko alam sagutin yung ibang questions, pasensiya na sis. pero yun nga, TRUST, LOVE and COMMUNICATION lang kelangan niyo para magtagal sa ganitong situation, and if willing ka nga maghintay.
goodluck sis, kaya niyo yan!

Sis, i can't think of a way para ma-extend yung H4 visa ng boyfriend mo after he turns 21.  Since H1B visa ang mom nya (or the working visa), spouse and dependents lang talaga ang pwedeng H4.  Once he turns 21, hindi na sya considered as dependent.  I guess if they try to get him a student visa, he can stay longer.  Pero as H4, i don't think it's possible.

angel: very stereotypical. for one walang gasoline boy dito, and def walang prob maging cashier.

im sure ang relationship ninyo ang main issue. madami nagdaan sa ganyan dito. you just have to be positive, lalo na sa opportunities ninyo.

pagka grad ninyo sa PI, you think mas maganda ba magiging future ninyo if magstay siya? lets say kung mahirap maghanap ng work dito (which is not true, depende sa state na titirhan lang) mas lalong mas mahirap maghanap ng trabaho sa PI. Bagsak lang e call center.

Be realistic, def be practical.
