PhilippinesFiance is 23--do we need to notarize or even have parent consent?

I just read the CFO link above. It says nothing about being under the age of 25 and need parent consent.. lolz


It doesn't say many things the CFO has been known to ask for, you should take it there with you.


I think the parent consent only applies if you marry her in the Philippines... you would then be under the Philippines laws of marriage.. but you're going to marry her in the United States. Hmmm... but I'm not sure.


Parental consent is parental consent, it doesn't matter where you're getting married.
It does need to be notarized.

It's not necessary for the I-129 but family letters are a great thing to front load with.

Good Luck!

PhilippinesK1 Approved
The long wait is over and the first part of this painful process is in the books. Giselle had her interview today and was approved and out the door by 11am....I'll let her put it in her own words in the embassy reviews later.

Right now, we're going to savor this lull in the action, have our engagement party and come home.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and input, Good Luck to Everyone!

PhilippinesCustoms declaration for fiancee interview package
It is documents....funny thing is on their computers you can't add documents with other items, its one or the other....XD I sent a big package with my documents with lots of other things....so we ended up with books as the closest thing to documents....:wacko:

I don't recommend it though, I bit the bullet and paid the hefty fed ex fee.....nearly $300...then the government threw a nice tax..customs...bs fee on top of it .....needless to say all future packages go through the postal service, i was just scared to trust the documents with them even though I've always had good luck with the mail there.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow do people do this??

I finally met May in the Philippines on April 28, 2012 and stayed there until May 16, 2012. I proposed to her on her birthday while I was there (May 6) and sent the paperwork on May 21st. Now the long wait begins and back to Skype. I've been reading these forums for months now and received a lot of helpful advice. My problem is, it hasn't even been a week since I filed and I'm missing her already. I don't know how people can stand waiting the 5, 6 or more months for their loved one. It's killing me already! I just want to be with her.

Please someone send me some encouragement.. :)


Every day that goes by is another day closer....... :thumbs:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCSC Time Frame

My I-129F NOA1 01/10/2012


I called USCIS today as my petition is over the 5 month mark. I was told that CSC is working on Dec. 16th petitions and therefore my petition is still within normal processing times.

Just thought I would share that because I am seeing alot of petitions with later dates getting approved already.

Hang in there....I'm sure it won't be long before you have some written response....:)
