Merged: All About H1B Visa

[neugierig]

^ pakasal na [textspeak!] kayo then get the H4.  almost sure na di ka ma deny jan.  there have been certain cases though...

heads up lang na dpat NSO secpa ang marriagecontract nyo.  that's the only thing the embassy will accept.

@ eimerej5 -

naku salamat ha! lungkot nga ako kasi denied ako kahapon for tourist visa..

aw, sis! di ko lam na ngapply ka pala for tourist. anyway, ok lang yun.. the best talaga is to get married and then apply for an h4.. madali lang naman.. all you need is 3 pay checks from your hubby or bf.. hehe! then all the papers from his employer like the contract or offer sa kanya ng employer, copy ng I-179 at I-129.
wedding pics at wedding invitation.. though there are stories here na hindi na hinanap ang pics. mas ok n yung completo kasi hindi natin alam kung ano ang doc na hihingin sa atin ng consul and ofcourse NSO marriage certi, very impt yun..

i've only read horror stories in the net.  i think they are exceptions rather than the rule though. 

like this one case na hinignan ng payslip ng husband nya, then the consul found out that the husband wasnt paid the market rate by the employer.  so nagka gulo2.  in the end, na cancel pati H1 ng husband, because of the wage violations.

we got approved just today!

yehey!!!!

wala na ba yung thread na yun???

ask ko lang, pinatuturn on ba ang laptop sa airport? at saka yung iphone ba check din? may mga nakasave kasi na kanta at movies eh.. iniisip ko na erase na lang lahat yun para safe...

^ I've never had my notebook,netbook or phone checked whether it be an international flight to the US or flying domestically in the US.  What I did though was erase all non-licensed media just to be safe than sorry

ive read news articles about laptops that have been kept by customs and 'inspected'.  the profile they are looking for are possible terror suspects, people who deal in child porn and drug dealers. 
if i remember correctly, they do it to 3-5% of people coming into the US. 

so yes it does happen.  while i've never been asked for my laptop, (i don't know of anybody who has had that happen to them) i think its a good practice to delete pirated software and torrent files if you're crossing US borders. 

i dont think this happens on domestic flights.

Hi everyone..

I just want to ask something.

Situation is yung fiance ko was already given with the H1B but we aren't married yet that time so now before sya umalis we got married. Would it be hard for me to apply for H4 as dependent? Since he got the H1B before getting married.

And also what are the requirements and questions that are usually asked during the interview?

Thanks alot.

Better ask sis eimerej5 regarding your question. She's under H4 visa din although same situation as you are, sumunod na lang din ata sya.

Check the US Embassy website, usually all the information and questions that you have will be answered there. Read the FAQs. As for the H visa category, all information can be found here: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwhni11.html Goodluck!

Thanks sis for the link

wow tagalng walang update itong thread,mukhang recession nga LOL

Malapit na ulet ang April 01, 2010, start nanaman ng filing for working visa! Goodluck sa lahat ng i-fifile. Better start looking for employers that can file your documents, para come April 01, andun na files ninyo. Hopefully walang lottery ulet like last year.

dba currently u.s are not giving working visas?

What do you exactly mean? There is a cap of 65,000 visa provided every year and another 20,000 visas for those with higher degree. Filing of application is every April 01 for the Oct 01 start of fiscal year. Maybe you are thinking of EB3 visas which are currently in retrogression.

Better check this website: http://www.immigrationdirect.com/visas/work/How-to-get-a-H1B-Visa.jsp

just got through Day 1 of POEA processing today...hindi pa tapos!  ang hirap pala maging OFW!    i really hope POEA does something to organize and streamline the process. naka ilang akyat-baba ako sa 2 flights of stairs, all because ang gulo gulo ng instructions na binibigay ng mga tao doon.  swear, i am not being mareklamo, talagang hassle!!!

kung ganyan parati parang nakakatamad tuloy umuwi at magbakasyon dito   good luck to me tomorrow...
