Got a call today Saturday morning from social security Manila. They interviewed me about changing my bank account number for my son benefits. Everything went okay but after hanging up I worry was it real or a scam so I put a lock on my account to make sure. In my prior email from them they asked to call them and I replied requesting them to call me. Does it sounds legitimate to get a call Saturday morning and the number was in Washington number and I thought maybe rerouted from Manila but when I checked there was no listing. I gave them my old account number and current account. Any suggestions what I should do at this point. The interviewer had all the information including my wife's maiden name and ask to talk with her to verify because it's a guardian account after hanging up I received email from them stating they will reinstate my son's account

I am in the process of starting the application process for my Thai wife's permanent resident for the USA ,Anyone knows if they are still accepting applications since they stopped to issue Visas for Thailand. Should we submit documents now or wait until the Visa process is reinstated for Thailand

I submitted my 90 day report by post but after almost one month I have not received the returned 90 day report. I sent it registered mail and have a tracking that it was received by them what should I do now. I plan to go to immigration next month to renew my Visa.

I am 72 years old . I saw the orthopedics doctor 2 weeks ago and he said the swelling will persist a few months. The fracture 99% healed. Going to see therapy doctor Monday morning swelling mininal in the uninjured foot but the injured foot better in the morning but after activity walking increases swelling. So I'm looking for advice how to reduce the swelling. Or if anyone had any experience they can share

I am 10 weeks post knee fracture walking with a cane but experiencing swelling on the injured foot as well as some swelling uninsured foot. Elevate everyday including balm but the swelling is persistent. Anyone have any recovery experience and recommendations

Okay thank you. I am in Bangkok

They will accept mailing in the form? Does anyone have the mailing address?

I am required to do my 90-day report in person as I left the country. I had an accident fell down with a knee fracture so have very little mobility wearing a splint. How can I request to do my 90 day report online due to my accident? I have continuously been doing it online except I left the country for a trip and the requirement is to do it in person after returning to the country.

Yes I am older 72 and going to the doctor tomorrow after one week with a splint. Very difficult to get around so hoping tomorrow when they put on a cast it should be a little easier. I only know it's a knee fracture not sure what area and told only minimal weight on the foot. Will update more information. Thanks for all the help and advice. Using a Walker but very difficult living in a condominium with a narrow bathroom low toilet makes it even more difficult.

Anyone have any experience with a knee fracture, how to get around with a cast, recovery and any tips or advice. Fell down hit my knee and have a small fracture. They put a splint for one week and tomorrow change to cast. How to get more protein and calcium for healing, and how to manage with a walker. What is recovery like, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Using my phone

Anyone know the cheapest or free way to call the Philippines from Bangkok using a mobile phone.

I got an email from social security Manila to call them about my son's benefits was transferred to their office but no details but only says to call them. I heard many people having problems being left on hold so does anyone know if there is a toll free number or anyway to call free. Or any other alternative. I have magicJack so I can call US embassy Manila but not this number.

One thing my doctor recommend for dry eyes that really works is daily cleaning of the eye lids. They recommend ocusoft lid scrub. You can also use cotton balls with warm water. You can see a video how to clean your eyes.

Does anyone have any experience ordering from HerbsPro and how about shipping and customs additional costs is it worth it? Did you have a positive experience?
