Is it common in the Phil. for a younger woman to date an older man (like twice her age)?


It is not common for filipinas to date filipino men twice her age.

It is common for filipinas to date USCs, or men from other 1st world countries, twice her age.

You'd probably get similar results from other poor countries like say Thailand, Brazil, or Slovakia?


That's an interesting question. I think it's true for Thailand, don't know about the others.

Most of my wive's Filipina friends are married to guys much older. The only one that is married to a guy her age is talking about divorce already because the guy can't keep a job.

PhilippinesCost for annulment ..
I know a woman (former neighbor and co-worker of my wife) who didn't want to wait for an annulment so she bribed some people to get her name changed on her birth certificate so she could pretend to be single.
I thought for sure she would get caught by the US Consulate but she just got her K-1 VISA! ohmy.gif
BTW, she told her US fiance that her husband is dead. The poor guy doesn't know what he's getting into. She has 2 kids who she is leaving with her mother. Maybe she will try to bring them later, but I guess she would have to pay some more bribes to get them new birth certificates too. wacko.gif

What do you guys think? Have you ever wondered about someone's intentions?

No I am not trying to start a fight I am really wondering if anyone here ever doubts certain cases... I am not trying to point my finger I am just wondering if you guys ever have those thoughts in the back of your mind.

I always have this scenerio in my mind that if I had a friend in that position whether or not I would tell her and would she believe me? I don't know why I always think about that but I do! How about you guys?

Happy Eid and have a great night!


Sarah



I guess in the third question it depends.. I should have put a "I would consider it" answer.

Please share your thoughts!


I know of one similar case. The guy was told that his fiance had a BF in her home country but he didn't believe it. She was also pregnant by the BF and had an illegal abortion shortly before going to the US. She's probably just using him and will try to get whatever she can from the guy and then go back with her BF.

Middle East and North Africacell phone question

I believe a phone card would be cheaper. My cell company charges $1.99 per minute to Egypt. The phone cards I use only charge $0.10 per minute.


Yes most cell companies charge a lot unless you sign up for a plan. Verizon claims they charge $0.20/min to RP if you pay $3.99/month. Sprint has something similar with even better rates to RP I think. Qwest told me $0.16 land line and $0.21 to cell phone.

Did you check your usage to see if they are really charging you $0.10/min to Egypt? The sad truth about calling cards is that you NEVER get the advertised rate, especially if you are calling a cell phone destination. If you check the burn rate you will find you are paying a lot more than the advertised rate.

I just tried the Smart Phone Card from www.ppoutlet.com and they actually charge you what they advertise.

I am going to try to be nice here. However that does not mean I will not be direct. If you came to the states for love, fine. It didnt work out, I am sorry. Now you are asking for someone that could file just to help you into the states.....

a) thats immigration fraud.
B) that is a slap in the face to those of us going through this process to be with the ones we love.
c) there is not a person here that will assist you in doing that.

I dont know why it didnt work out, that isnt my business. I will not speculate. However, yes it will flag and it is wrong.


You're making assumptions here. Maybe the guy changed his mind after she got here and cancelled the wedding (it happens all too often). Sounds to me like she just wants to know if she can find another guy and try again AFTER she returns to her country. Do you really think your fiance wants to come to the US ONLY because she loves you? :lol:

Personally, I'd be happy to help her find another guy and start over (not me of course, I'm already taken). It sounds to me like she's not trying to break any laws, she just wants another chance and wants to know what the problems will be.

OP's words

I don't even know even till today it is unfortunate

She only found out today that he wont marry her and is already wanting to know about chances of another petition.

Hmmmmm....Wanting to marry only for a green card is not breaking any laws :huh: Its fraud.


Well, its sounds like the guy dumped her. If she wants to find another guy to marry after she returns to her country I say good for her. It's not fraud if she establishes another relationship.

I-129F application, K-1 visa

I read somewhere that people have to prove they have been together for the last few years and have a continuing relationship when they apply for the fiancee visa. Is it ok to send photos of a sexual encounter because we dont have any other evidence? Or would they refuse such picture? He is on top.

I think it all depends on position. I wouldnt submit one with the petitioner on their knees. That may look like they are the one in submission. If that is the case, the adjudicator may think that this petition is filed in distress and will reject it.


Ya, and the new IMBRA law requires disclosure of any unusual favorite positions in advance, so I'd watch out for that one too.

Well, the photos might be acceptable but they must meet strict USCIS requirements. Since I am intimately familiar with those requirements, your safest course of action is to send them to me for review before doing anything else. Trust me, I've done this before.

PS: The requirements are very strict so it will take me a couple of weeks to review the photos. Oh, and I need the photos in a large size (8x10 or greater) so I can make sure it's really you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow To Approach This Red Flag

After I got out of college 8 years ago, I wrote to, phoned, emailed ect. a few girls in the Philippines. I was just browsing the net one night and came across a small site. Because the site was small many of the girls were from the same general area. Anyway, after graduation I went to visit three girls. All from the same island 2 from the same town of 50,000 people. Anyway, I wound up getting engaged to my now ex. The other girl I visited but shied away from because of my own inmaturaty (she had a small child) is now my fiancee. After my divorce (I was married 5 years) I got back in touch with her and we are now engaged. The thing is, she is the half aunt of my ex wife. My fiancee is the half sister of my ex's wife's mother. My fiancee and I are the same age and my ex and I are only 3 years apart so the aunt thing is very strange. My fiancee's family isn't crazy about the situation and neither are my parents, but I'm just trying to live my life and be happy. I feel like this time I made the right choice. It's a rough situation because these 2 sides of the family are mortal enemies and the whole situation is just so f'ed, but this is just how things have worked out.
So, after this long explanation do we say nothing unless asked? My fiancee knows who my wife is, but she doesn't know her. Her half sister (wife of my ex) was from an earlier marriage and they haven't spoken in 20 years. The only question they could have at the interview is that they were both born in the same town. Is my past petion for my wife going to be sitting there during the interview. I don't want to look like I'm hiding anything, but I also don't want things to look worse than they are. Damn this is so messed up.


duck - I wouldn't worry about it unless she is really YOUR sister! :lol:
