PhilippinesBought property in the Philippines?
Scruffy Dog makes some really good points, one thing I would look at it the rate of appreciation if your worried about buying now versus later, Just follow the math. If its to help your inlaws thats cool too.

PhilippinesPlane Ticket from Manila to Erie, PA
We are getting close to my fiance coming here to the USA, Wondering do i buy the tickets or does she buy the tickets?? I see Delta has a manila to detroit to erie, for 1100.00 includes taxes, but she tells me they have to pay taxes on top of that, not counting the fee in the airport.Any advice would be great.

Thanks
Eddie

Philippinesscheduling interview questions
hi,

Azar,just dont get nervous and relax coz everything will be ok and go smoothly. I am a k1 and k2 also, i have 2 kids.And we are here now in the States without any problem with my two kids. Just make it sure your fiancee has a recent NBI, recent CENOMAR and other important documents.Chat logs is not really important but if she like to add, just print few. for her son - passport,2x2 pic, NSO BC, the DS forms,visa payment and yes u need also to register her son same date as ur fiancee and have print it out too.
I was also like freaking out before but it went smooth, as long as the papers are complete and most Prayer is a powerful.

Good luck!!!!

PhilippinesCan I adopt my wifes daughters

Not yet but I am waiting to get them over here! I have started looking into my state's laws on the topic. I am not sure yet if it is best while they are in LPR status or wait for naturalization to complete. IMHO the sooner the better but I am in search when it would be best given their current immigration journey.



We are all here in the US obviously, kids are in school etc., etc. Just wondering when we can get busy on doing this, It may very well be independent of Immigration?? We don't want to start only to be told we need to wait and then have to duplicate efforts, as you know our lovely government is all about duplication and nothing about efficiency :)

PhilippinesCan I adopt my wifes daughters
I Am wondering if anyone has Adopted their wife's children once the kids have their AOS, which in our case should be this summer.
Does anyone have any experience with this. We would like to make this happen sooner than later.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsalmost 6 months
You May want to have your Fiance call his congressional office, they wont be able to speed things up but they may get an answer as to why its been past 6 months.

edwardteresa4everMalePhilippines2011-11-03 20:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-1 NOA2
I had an inquiry made the other day through my congressional office, to see if and when my 129f might be looked at since you cant really get any type of update until you actually get something in the mail. They said the uscis Vermont is currently on March applications, so on occasion when you see ones processed after your date, they claim its from diverting people on to them when they are caught up on other immigration forms, they also said K1 is not a priority when they handle all these forms.

I still don't understand how other applications move ahead, it seems as if they just grab them from a pile hehehe. Anyway, hang in there as the other post said after 6 months you can get an update, but hope and pray for a little luck that it happens sooner, as for our noa1 it was received June 23 so by December 23 it will be 6 months, 2 more months ( but hoping for much less) anyway I am going to PI for Christmas cause that's where we belong (as in together).

we didn't want to spend our money on yet another trip there, but while you can make more money, you cant make more time so we agreed another trip where we can be together Christmas regardless of the NOA2 will go along way to helping us cope with this process.If you have the resources it surely helps with this painfully long process, I know its not practical in so many cases but wish everybody could do it.

Good Luck & Godspeed

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports1 week and we hit 5 months waiting for NOA2
well seems there is a lot of us waiting past the supposed " process times " heres to wishing us all well and maybe an early Christmas Gift, i.e. NOA2 :help: In fact, Dear Santa I have been really good this year and just want my NOA2, hehehehe :innocent:

My fiance has 2 little girls, she never married, me divorced, neither of us have had any criminal challenges. I cant see how that would add a lot of time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports1 week and we hit 5 months waiting for NOA2
Well next week we hit 5 months waiting for our NOA2, It is always sad when we see other applications receive the NOA2 that filed after our date and for the life of me I cant understand why that is. I guess the moral of the story is just wait and wait and don't even think of any such thing as a time line as it means nothing. Thank God for my trip there for Christmas :)

we are June filers, still no noa2, got the congress office involved, has not helped yet, as another post says once it hits 6 Months suppposedly they can ask for an update. The moral of the story is you are at the mercy of the government, just hang tough and try to stay positive cause being frustrated wont get it done any quicker, Thank God for skype, YM, FB and airplanes as I leave next week to go visit my honey again :dance:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAt what point is it safe if any to set wedding date??
My fiance and I are going through the K1 process, actually right now waiting for the NOA2 to arrive at the NVC since we received our NOA2 January 12th, hoping this week. we know its a short window to acutally plan our wedding, but do need at least a 6-8 weeks to do so. just wondering at what point if any is safe to begin planning, I have heard not till visa is in hand which isnt a lot of time.

our options: Get married in the church ( we are both catholic and would like to marry in the church ) very small service which I think she would be a little sad with only a couple people there.

or a civil service, then plan to have our marrige blessed in the church later with a larger service and nice reception to follow with family and friends in attendance.

or try and plan the whole thing assuming a date within this process? Anybody have any Ideas, weddings are hard to plan especially if your the guy and here in the USA and she is not. would love some ideas and thoughts???
