You have a K1 visa, you can not marry before you enter the US. Seems the point is for your friends and family to celebrate with you...what about an engagement party or going away party to celebrate your journey to the US?

Sounds like good price but. Concider the differance in cost verse your love ones safety.
Philippines airlines was down graded by the american gov. in safety not that long ago (Dec.), think it was. Maybe some of you never heard about that or for all I know it's been changed back again?
I recently had trouble getting a decent one way fare for my Zenaida. I finely figured out that if you want the flight in less than 2/3 weeks, plan on paying threw the nose ($1,700.00+-). Beyond that time I was able to get a way ticket to R.I. for $ 1,040.00 NWA.
By the way, was not able to get the price threw NWA agent. Figured it out on line by playing with flight dates. star_smile.gif


just to set the record straight, it was the ATO that was downgraded, not PAL.

I just google searched "philippines Airlines down graded" Don't know if the american goverment changed their down grade after jan 2008 but, it was all airlines of the philippines. Down grade was for security and safety, not about customer service. Just telling you folks what the artical says, didnt mean to scare anyone. But I do care about all my friends in VJ. What is ATO ? blink.gif


it's all good good.gif ATO is the Philippines equivalent of the FAA. http://en.wikipedia....e_(Philippines) I believe PAL's maintenance is done by Lufthansa.

you'll probably be arriving 6:30pm to 7:30pm local time. if you have a window seat, I believe on the left side of the cabin, maybe you'll get your first view of the Golden Gate Bridge. enjoy the flight, but it's a long one.

PhilippinesManila Embassy K1 Visa Guide (Your comments)
This guide should be most beneficial for those going thru the process in Manila. When I was going thru the process last year, It would have to nice to have so much information in one place instead of having to search for it in various sources.
I've noticed there still is some confusion about the Visa Package after it's delivered by Delbros. Some aren't sure that it is ok to remove the plastic envelope covering the Passport with Visa and the brown envelope ( which you do not open). maybe something could be added to the guide addressing that issue.

I read somwhere, over 90% go to the interview alone in Manila. I don't think that alone would be a cause for the visa being denied. there were probably other reasons they had there visa denied, at the Embassy in Manila.

PhilippinesThe Philippines Forum
Thanks all for the comments. good.gif The Philippines has a strong sense of family values.
. The family is the centre of the social structure and includes the nuclear family, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and honorary relations such as godparents, sponsors, and close family friends.
. People get strength and stability from their family. As such, many children have several godparents....
I'd think the same feeling can exist here in the Forum. we can have our disagreements, but be respectful of each other. It isn't about taking sides, but working together for all our common goal, being together with our SO's for a lifetime.
wishing everyone a lifetime of happiness... good.gif
