Can i ask question? What is your priority date? My case is f24 2015 priority date..thank you.
@@eaglemotoblack mine is Aug 2011
Congratulations
Thanks for sharing, BTW, did you enter your information/passport details etc. on the United website or app after booking? Or once it's booked that's it, no need to enter any other information in the website?
@@jmeer7568 my brother booked my flight for me but I had it upgraded so i had to enter my credit card details to pay for it. I also recall providing addtl details but I forget what those are. The customer experience is fairly intuitive so it should be easy :)
@@CyraLifeVlog Thanks for the reply, i'll check with CS :)
@@jmeer7568 Of course! Have a safe flight!
Question. free ba 2 checked bag sa economy flight?
@@Blvckfox yes! But double check with the airline to be 100% sure
Hi! I’m flying to the US next week and I’ll be bringing also corned beef for my friends.. so technically it is okay to bring in canned foods right?
@@rizzamanila1251 they just checked my bag but yeah, didn’t have any problem :) safe travels!
I'm SO excited they're going there again. I flew United to a from Manila in December 1997 and I think that was one of the last flights at the time.
@@donnycollins1797 yes! It’s exciting. I’m excited to also try PAL direct from Seattle to Manila :)
Hi mam F2B po case makaka recieved po ba ng yellow packet or not? Nandito na po USA VISA APPROVED na po andito na sa amin ang passport with US VISA may inaantay ba kami o pwede na kami kumuha ng ticket para maka alis na po salamat❤ Mag eexpired kasi visa namin sa Sep po visa namin.

enjoyable video. i might have missed it but - what seat class did you fly? it appears to be economy but i don't want to assume. i just watched a different youtuber who used UA to fly into Manila a few months ago and she said her seat was cramped. this is very important to me as, even though i am short, i value the seat pitch very much.
@@ghilly_one1720 hi!!! Thank you so much for the kind words. I flew economy plus :)
Sister i am from Ethiopia what are the main factor for interview appointment It has 5 months since my documents qualified
@@user-xb4vr9ye8r took more than 2 years for me to get my interview appointment from when i got documentarily qualified. I feel like it varies from country to country depending on the number of available visa. This is a long way of saying that I don’t know the main factor, really.. I would recommend emailing NVC to ask about it :)
Tanggalin nyo na po background music, sumasapaw po sa sinasabi nyo. sayang
@@eskapoangler7656 thanks for the feedback! I’ll consider lowering the volume. Still a lot of learning and editing to do 😅
Hi Cyra, I am also an F2B applicant, with a priority date of September 19, 2013. To summarize, all the required documents were submitted, and the approval was received on February 22, 2022. Since then, I haven't received any email updates every 90 days, and it has now been over two years. My parents contacted the U.S. Embassy for an update, and according to the visa bulletin, it might be 2026 before my case progresses. May I ask what you think of my experience so far? Big thanks for your help.
Ma'am syra ? Yong f2a pa kayo age out na po kayo dbah may CSPA ?
I can get into Canada just with my green card ? And my passport ? Do I need any health insurance ?
@@leandrosaavedra4748 just passport and greencard :)
Hi thanks for sharing your experience so you don’t need any form for the car or anything else but your passports /ID
@@KatherineAcevedo0995 that’s correct!
How long year ur full process i130 to visa approval
Pareho tyo ng date file.. Pero ung saken hindi ko ma process kasi kapag nag log-in ako sa CEAC sinasabi Numerical Limitations. My idea kb Kung ilang years aantayin pra maging Current ang priority date ko 2016
For passengers entering the US, bags are retrieved at the port of entry after Immigration, which in your case is SFO. Just like what I experienced in Minneapolis last Nov as a visitor, I was also subjected to secondary inspection by CBP (which I didnt experience previously) then transferred the bags to the carousel for the final leg of your trip which is SEA.
hello po, familiar po kayo if f11 po ung visa class?
naabutan kasi ung application ko ng transition status ng petitioner from LPR to citizen na, and i am checking po, wala dun sa bulletin ung F11 visa class 😢

Still waiting for my f2b petition. 7 years already 😞
@@princessjoytuazon2234 it might take a while but it’s worth emailing the NVC just to see how your application is doing. And check the visa bulletin once in a while
is it possible I use united airlines website to book a flight pero yung airplane is ANA AIRPLANE?
Hi... I am planning to go to San Diego California. I'd like to buy a discounted ticket since i am a widow of a retired employee of UA in Chicago. I am in the Phils at the moment. Your help will be greatly appreciated. God bless.🙏

Hi po. We are new here in the US almost a month palang. We are planning to go to Canada din. Hinanapan po ba ng driver’s License? Wala pa po kasi kami DL pero meron kami DL from the Philippines. And kumuha pa po ba kayo ng car insurance jan sa Canada? Thanks po
Hello! Green card lang hinanap sa akin. Dalhin mo na rin PH passport ninyo to be sure. No need to have driver’s license and insurance :)

Hello there, it is in Terminal 3 right? We have flight on Sept. MNL to SFO. Thank you. 😊
Yup! Terminal 3
Have a safe flight!!!
hey I have a question, Is your travel tax included to your plane ticket from the UNITED AIRLINE? I was wondering because my flight will be tomorrow and I don’t know if I should get a travel tax or no..? Your response will be appreciated.
Travel tax not included. I had to pay it on top of the ticket price. Hope this clarifies!
Thank you so much! Very informative. Blessings!

@@CyraLifeVlog hi! this might be too lot to ask but where can I possibly send you a pm :) currently processing one 🙏
Hello I have question, we already finished our Interview and it was approved but he doesnt say anything regarding on the courier of our passport but he said expect your passporto to be delivered to you within 1-2 weeks, Can you enlighten me should i register for a courier even though the interview is already finished last may 8?
Hmm.. when you scheduled your embassy interview, did you fill up the CGI portal? There's a section there that asks for your mailing address. That's their basis where to send your passport with visa.
Hi! I also have a connecting flight from SFO. I’ll be coming from Terminal 1 and I depart in Terminal 3. With your experience, will a 2hrs and 45min allowance be enough to catch my next flight? Hahaha I’m prolly overthinking 😂
Mine was 2 hours and 57 mins but still had plenty of time to get coffee and freshen up while waiting for my flight to seattle. You should be ok, just go straight to your connecting flight gate after you go through immigration and customs :)
So, how did the United flight compare to PAL?
Unfortunately, I haven't experienced PAL intl flights yet. When I go back to PH and book a PAL flight direct from Seattle, I'll let you know! Content idea! Haha
Hi cyra, anong IDs ng petitioner need? At need ba din ng joint-sponsor ng mga IDs nila?TIA
Hello, great question! Yung sa Nanay ko na petitioner, parang hiningan ako ng kopya ng kanyang permanent residence card only because she wanted to confirm I'm an F2b (namention ko ata yun sa video for more context) they mislabeled my passport when I went inside the US embassy but I told her I don't have it and it's uploaded na sa CEAC portal (this was an isolated case, btw). At this point, mas important ang affidavit of support :)
@@CyraLifeVlog thank u sa reply
@@CyraLifeVlog how about sa joint sponsor kailangan b rin ng ID nila?
hey I just found out your channel. I was searching for more information about arriving in SFO.. I will be travelling soon with United Airlines wondering how long it takes for the immigration checks etc ?? I have connecting flight to houston in about 2 hours and 20 minutes when we arrive in SFO.. Would it takes longer or hours in the Immigration?
Sorry in advance for the not-so-straightforward answer but it all depends on how early you arrive sa immigration check and how fast you get your baggages from customs, and how long of a walk the gates to Houston are. But based on my experience, I made it to the gate of my connecting flight to seattle with enough time to get coffee, change into more comfortable clothes, and chill. 🧘♀️ my layover is just almost 3 hours. I have a video all about the process czcams.com/video/RMC1CUgWJ4Y/video.htmlsi=4lPD-eZu1GmaH6KU check it out!
