It has been reported that the Honorable Karl Jayson G. Papas has been directly involved in a complex prostitution and extortion scheme involving stolen credit cards. Karl is also known as Karla as he dresses as a woman. Karl is an elected official in Lugait, Misamis Oriental. The family runs a small pharmacy for the Barangay which has a minimal income.
Authorities were alerted when the family of very meager income was flaunting an extravagant lifestyle far and beyond any visible means.
Apparently, Karl had been “selling” himself in an internet scam involving foreigners from various countries. The scheme became unraveled when one of the victims visited for several weeks and realized he had been robbed.
Hello There Ting!!!
I have been reading your blogs and somehow it helped me with a lot of questions in my mind.
Just wanna ask something about my visa…
I have my interview at US Embassy Manila last week April 13, 2010…during my interview, the CO had been very nice to me. He mentioned that he is glad I submitted a lot of financial informations about my fiance. That means, my fiance can always support me financially. But then, he noticed that I didnt have my fiance’s ITR for 2009. He told me that he will accept if I have 2008 ITR of my fiance even if he only accept 2009…that means, that he will justify me if I have ITR 2009 from my fiance. But since, I dont have…he gave a form stating that I must submit the ITR…and then he told me to go to #36 and wait for my name to be called which i did…the embassy personnel gave back to me my passport and the form stating of what papers I needed to submit…and also a form of AIR21….I wonder why he gave me an AIR21 form since I still need to submit the ITR…well, I left the embassy at 10am…then called my fiance that he forgot his ITR for 2009. What he did was…he called the secretary of his accountant and email me thru my email add his ITR2009 so I can submit that to the embassy the next day….April 14 of 1pm….I went back to Manila Embassy and submit the ITR 2009 of my fiance….and then again, the personnel in the embassy, after he saw my ITR 2009, he asked me to go air 21 and signed a form…but then I didnt pay inside the embassy…the air21 employee told me that I dont have to because it will be pay on delivery….my question is: AM I approved or not? Why is it that until today April 23, I still have no Visa…it has been 10 days!!! Please, help me…Am I approved?
Thank you….

HELLO MISS TING. How are you po???? Hope you answer my questions soon …. thank you and godbless po…
Hi Cha and Cara,
It takes time for the embassy to go back to your case. Since you already provided the lacking docs, do not worry. Usually, ita takes about 2-3 weeks for the embassy to update your files. In the meantime, you (or your USC petitioner) can call the embassy’s hotline to inquire if indeed they already have your 2009 ITR on file. Do not worry to much. I am sure, your case is good. It maybe delayed a bit, but you will still be coming here in the US.
BTW, you can posts all your question in my other blog (www.rimart.us). I have been answering questions there.
Thanks,
Tingting
