was wondering, pede ba i petition ng H1B visa holder ang siblings? alam ko lang kasi spouse and child/ren, tas same din pag green card holder... pag US Citizen na pede i petition ang siblings, parents. tama ba?

H1B cannot petition siblings or even parents. Kailangan GC holder ka na before petitioning.

OMG!

I am so happy!

My husband had been given an H1B visa.. He filled it under premium processing last nov 25 and had been approved just last dec 5, 2008....

He told me madami pa din talagang hospitals that are needing nurses and there are non cap one's like his employer.

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??? Mayroon bang student visa pabalik dito sa Pilipinas. I mean, mag-aaply sya sa US ng visa para makapag-aral/ continue his studies dito sa Pilipinas? If yes, what type of visa is that and how long yun ma-poprocess? He needs to be back 1st week of january 2009 eh. huhuhu

We are really desperate.

Thanks so much. Hoping for your reply =D

hi, I hope I'm not too late to answer your question.....anyway, another thing your bf can do is go to US under his H4 visa, then after his mom become a GC holder his status will also change as an immigrant like his mom. Then he can either petition you to come to US or he can go back there in Pinas finish his course then come back in US and get you. Para masulit din yung visa nya especially since his almost over 21. Kasi pag ma over cya 21 his mom need to petition him again and it will take more years of waiting.

Yes, there's a recession here but he can still work naman. Just need patients and tyaga then he will be able to work sa field nya. Kahit naman dyan sa Pinas he will still need to do hard work to succeed. Pero IMO lang naman, kahit may recession dito mas madali makita yung results sa pagod mo. Ang question lang naman eh kung ganito yung route ang papasukin nyo, eh enough ba ang foundation nyo as a couple to withstand the test of being in a long distance relationship.

Hope nakatulong yung sagot ko.

mga sis, paano pag ganito ang situation:
si bf ko,nakapunta siya sa US dahil pinetition silang buong family ng lolo niya nung 2005. sa november 2010 pa lang siya magiging american citizen.
ngayon po, ano kaya ang mas mabilis na way para makuha niya ko, fiance visa or spouse. mas mabilis ba if magpapakasal na lang muna kame bago siya maging US citizen or fiance na lang? tia

sis, spouse ang mas mabilis since kailangan ng proof na kayo talaga ng bf mo, mas matibay na katibayan ang marriage certificate, pictures...

^ganun ba sis? kahit 7 years na kami tapos ang proof namen pictures mula year 2002 plus mga christmas, birthday and valentine's card, love letters, telephone bills etc.
mahina pa rin kaya na proof yun?

may nagsabi kasi sa akin mas mabilis daw talaga fiance.

Im not sure sis pero enough proof din naman siguro yun. la pa kasi ako nakausap about fiance visa. kung may ngsabi sayo na mas mabilis ang fiance, baka mabilis din naman, baka may kakilala siya na ganun ang experience.

Yung sa ken kasi, based on personal expriences of my friends and family. Married sila eh. H1b ang husband/wife then nagapply sila ng dependent visa h4, sandali lang naksunod na sila kagad, depende sa availability ng date of interview nila dito sa pinas wherein ikaw ang mgschedule mismo sa us embassy. Call lang naman yun or online scheduling...

^thank you sis!

dami ko natutuhan, i really hope maging maayos ang processing. hehe! thanks again sis.

Hi sisses, quick question... can an H1B/H4 visa holder go to the Philippines for a vacation while the GC is being processed?

It would be best to browse the I-130 forum since sa fiance/spouse visa ka papasok. Ang H1B visa kasi, almost automatic na approved ang dependents like spouse and children kung under H1B ang principal. I myself is under H4 visa.

Let's continue our discussion about coming to the U.S. on an H1B!

chocolatefever · « **Reply #33 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:22:53 am »

anybody here being filed for H1B by their employers on April 1st?

wickedbone · « **Reply #34 on:** March 30, 2009, 12:03:39 am »

my bf..

we're waiting to hear the lottery.. but if bf doesn't get picked, ok lang.. besides, the recession makes me rethink the idea of going there..

primpo · « **Reply #35 on:** March 30, 2009, 01:43:10 am »

^oo nga scary ang recession. ok pa rin ba sa US mga sis? iyong mga based na diyan, ano maipapayo niyo sa amin?hehe

chocolatefever · « **Reply #36 on:** March 30, 2009, 03:17:17 am »

^^ako rin sis i'm hoping na all goes well for the filing this april 1st. keep us posted kung ano mangyayari sa status ng h1b ng bf mo. will you get married and join him in the u.s. if ever?

^sis it's pretty bad here, but there are some industries that are not affected as much, like healthcare. pero totoo, mahirap talaga, everybody is tightening their belts. pero kahit saan naman, kahit sa pilipinas ganyan din.

chocolatefever · « **Reply #37 on:** April 02, 2009, 02:35:09 am »

i've a question for h1b holders who had their visas stamped in manila: did you have to pay for the visa fee of 135USD pa rin, just like any visa applicant?
