Thanks sjr.......Now by 'traveling with'....I assume they mean for the actual trip the minor is securing the passport for? ie, to come here to America once he gets his visa and such?

Thanks my brudder Hank...I didn't see it anywhere on any form but she was insisting an 'agency' said so...I said who is this 'agency' and maybe they said that so they can make extra money doing two passports? Hope all is well with you guys.

If someone has their two year green card, holds a Philippine passport, and lives here in the U.S, and wants to get her son a Philippine passport, (he is still in the Philippines), she has a question about her father getting son the passport.....Her father doesn't currently hold a passport, btw. She said her father was told by a friend the he has to have a passport before he can assist in her son getting passport, (her son is 4 yrs old). We did read where there is a form that must be filled out and I think notarized, but can't find anything about the person assisting needing to have their own passport. Does anyone have any information on this topic? Thx

For personal reasons I was not able to bring my son over when I first immigrated here to the U.S. I am now in a position to bring him over to America. He is 4 yrs old and lives with my parents. My husband will be the one petitioning him to come here, but first we are going to secure his passport. My question is my father will be the getting the passport for my son, and I am reading the process on the Philippine embassy website, but has anyone else done this? Having your parent, or some other family member help your son or daughter get their Filipino passport?

Thanks in advance.

K4 visa question for child

Been doing some reading about bringing my step son here from the Philippines on a I-130, he is 4 years old. I am the USC, my wife is doing her ROC 795 as we speak, its been filed and she was given the 1 year extension.

I was reading on USCIS where it seems once the 1-130 and other forms are filed, we can apply for a K4 visa for him to come to the US while awaiting his papers to process. I know generally speaking its very difficult, if not impossible, for Filipinas to secure a tourist visa, or any visa to US other than the 129F. Has anyone heard, or actually accomplished a K4 visa for their child while awaiting the I-130 process?

Tom, I will say I am surprised at the use of 'word' by guys on here when agreeing...I figured it was a DC thing, haha.

I wonder if any of you guys used, or still use, 'Gooder den a mug' when describing how you liked something you just ate? We used to say it all the time when coming up, and I did find some Baltimore guys at work that said they used to use it and thought it was a Baltimore 'thang'....hahha.

I'll use it now and again mostly as a goof.

This I agree with...younger guys seek out women in their 20's for the same reason older guys seek out younger women...they are hottter than older women...!!! :rofl:

Hey Hank, it seems that site also had a forum according to a post in this thread, but its closed down.....but it does back the point of this thread on age difference. Speaking of my X, we just had a convo on that topic today, it really burns her azz that my fiance' is another Filipina and a younger one to boot...hey man, whats wrong with an upgrade, I deserve it...!!!

Americans put more into the age thing than most countries Iv'e been to. In my grandparents time people married young to old, old to young...for whatever reasons. Usually it was for sex, companionship, practicality and if there was love involved it came later on with time. But then again love can be defined so many ways and in so many terms I find it difficult to nail it down to one specific thing.

I agree...love is as individual and unique as each one of are to each other.....I have no idea what defines love for any other person other than myself, I know what MY feeling of love is and what love is....I know I've been in love twice in my life....my X wife and my fiance and that is all that matters really.

You can't change millions of years' evolution with one-liner put-downs on people you resent. The more interesting question is not why men of all ages are biologically programmed for attraction to ideal breeding age females - but instead why you can't handle that fact.

huh? lol....really? dude I was not putting down or not handling anything or anyone, well maybe that Mikey dude, hahah. I am perfectly happy with that little tidbit you threw out there, in fact, you may or may not know that my fiance is 20+ years YOUNGER than me, so I am LOVING it, keep on posting info...hahah

luckily, i'll only be in my 60s, and maybe still able to scare someone on the right day

The poster thing means that there aren't any teenage filipinas pining away for middle-aged or old men. They like princes and young movie stars just like girls everywhere.

I don't have an issue with race, but i would have a serious problem with a 60 year old coming to pick up my 18 year old daughter. I wouldn't even like it if he was my age. The difference is, one is here, the other is there. In the end, i'd actually trust that i'd done a good enough job that she was making good decisions. But a girl with a world full of options and living in the west rarely picks someone with an age difference like her mother and I.

I'm not saying anything about your relationship in particular. It just isn't for nothing that it happens a LOT more with women from developing countries than it does where the women have many more opportunities.

Luckily, I hope, there are not a lot of middle aged men pining way for teenagers, Filipina or any nationality, thats just wrong on either end...now a woman in her 20's or 30's, thats different, and I think most of those woman have outgrown posters on the wall thing, haha.

Yea I think I'd have a prob with a 60 year old and 18.....but I will say my step father, when he split from my mom a long long time ago, was prob in his mid to late40's and he dated and married a 20 year old, and in hollywood its common....I mean I realize is not the norm, however marrying out of your race is looked down upon by a lot in the country, and you know that...even white and asian....there are some people that will have probs with anything they don't like or accept. Trust me, I got ####### from a lot about marrying an Asian, not from my family, but I heard it non the less.

By the time your daughter is old enough to date someone middle aged to her, you will be like 80, so I am thinking you may, at best, meet him at the door with your walker and a cane, haha, j/k friend.....

The poster in bedroom reference sorta escaped me, but I am sure it had a point....lol I have three daughters, 30, 26 and 22...We raised them well, college educated, only my 30 year old has a baby so far and that was not even two years ago, she is a teacher and hubby is a engineer....I will say that you will find out later that you can say you will do this or that, but when they get old enough they will do what they want and you better HOPE you raised them well enough to have made sound decisions.

You married a younger gal for you personal reasons, you seem to have sought out a younger lady...which is cool, more power to you brother.... I am marrying one not for any particular reason other than chance....we just met and our relationship grew, we decided to not let our ages stop what we both felt...so we didn't. I didn't waste my youth, I was married at 19, she, a Filipina, 17...and stayed married till this past Aug....31 years later.

It's funny how you say you will meet a older guy at the door with a big surprise if he tried to date your daughter...I know other guys who have said the same thing if a black dude comes to the door to date his daughter...hahah. For me, maybe the guys seeing me intimidated them, but I never had probs with any of the guys while the girls were in high school, they seemed to have more steady b/f's than anything, but a few boys came to the front door, and yes one was a black kid....never had any probs with any of them.

I agree with ya. Yes I am a total perv and yes a lot of times it comes down to supply and demand. I'm demanding the tight hot young #######, and they are supplying it. Nothing wrong with that imo...it's been like that since time began and will long after all of us on here are pushing daises.

It's like the guy that marries a old war horse and she wants him to wash the car, so the guy does it. Not because he want to, but because he knows the pay off will (should) come later in either the form of food, sex, or less b*tching. Guys like us on this forum took it one step further. In stead of matching up with some war horse with an attitude, we went for young and hot. I mean you want to drive a min van when your my age or a Ferrari? I may be getting old, but I still have an eye for the foreign sports cars.

Perfectly put.....and the hammer was dropped....hahah :bonk:

I haven't been able to find info on that 25% either (yet) but I did find this from Ottawa Cananda research:

Abstract
This paper analyzes the probability of a married couple getting divorced, based on the age difference between the husband and wife. To calculate such probabilities, the distribution of age differences of married couples was derived from the 1991 Census and the 1990 General Social Survey, and the distribution of age differences of divorcing couples was obtained from 1991 divorce data provided by the Department of Justice Canada. These distributions, the first based on data that are seldom available, are also analyzed in this paper. The results provide details about the expected significant imbalances that exist, both for married and divorcing couples, between the number of couples with older husbands and the number with older wives. A model is developed that shows that divorce rates are lowest when the husband is two to ten years older than the wife or when the magnitude of their age difference is extremely large. Furthermore, the chance of divorce is much higher when the wife is older than the husband than vice versa.

**

Larger age gap makes for a more stable marriage!

Back to the search!
