PhilippinesNewbee needs help
Unfortunatley December is probably the most expensive month to go for airfare.. because all of the overseas workers (filipinos) are going home for the holidays and it drives ticket prices up... if you can wait until january you would get better rates.

there are a lot of things to do in Manila just taking in the sites.. but for me I enjoyed being in the provinces much more because there you get to see a true picture of daily life of filipino people... their culture is rich and the people are fun, nice and for the most part always smiling. just give her an Idea of the types of things you like then let her give you suggestions.. maybe there is somewhere that she wants to go or something she want to do...

I can say this you need to start reading.. the guides here are a very good place to start.. but dont take everything as black and white... it seems like every case has some gray areas that you will have to address that will be unique to your situation. Just study and educate yourself and ask questions here.. you will get answers.. sometimes it takes a few days but you will get answers..


If costs seem to be prohibitive to your situation you better start saving.. make no mistake the process is expensive...
and getting the Visa is only the first step.. The K1 visa is a 1 time entry permit into the US... with a few benefits.. it is also the starting point for your SO to get her citizenship if that is what her intention is... there are also a lot of restrictions that go with it too...(like I said read the guides) then keep in mind the next steps are also expensive and time consuming too.. AOS (adjustment of Status) which needs to be started on or before 90 days of her entry into the US and that alone costs $1055 apx...


I have been to the philippines 3 times so far and I have really enjoyed each trip except for the long tiring flight.. and the leaving part... you are going to enter into a completely different culture IMHO Be open minded and enjoy!

Good luck on your journey!

Dennis

PhilippinesI HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE CONSUL'S DECISION WAS.. I JUST HAD MY INTERVIEW TODAY. I GOT HUMILIATED...,
QUOTE (brij @ Dec 17 2009, 09:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
GUYS, I DONT KNOW WHAT A SENATOR IS? CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME THIS? SO I CAN TELL MY FIANCE ABOUT CALLING THE SENATOR.



just ask your fiance' to contact his U.S. senator or congressman.. He will know who they are or he can find out easy enough..

You dont need to know who they are really.. but a senator or congressman is an elected official that is a lawmaker in the US..

Dont worry.. If you just maintain telling the truth and supply them with all the docs that they might request then there should be no problem... and even if you do get denied there is still an appeal process so dont give up hope!

Good luck!

boogerMalePhilippines2009-05-25 16:54:00
PhilippinesWow, the Philippines!
I too am late to this party...lol but here is my 2 cents worth... i have read lots of posts but, when it comes to bashing other countries , well ,that's just wrong... We are intitled to our own opinion but, when it comes to "putting another country down" that kind of thoughts should be kept quiet or not posted.. Because NO country is BETTER than another one.......... here's my outtake on life... first of all we all are childern of God... I don't think it was God's plan for someone to say " hey my country is better than yours for this reason.............. no matter where you go you will find good people and bad. .... so it doesn't matter where you find your true love ,as long as he or she IS your true love... isn't that all that matters ????? doesn't matter to me if she is black or white, red,yellow...etc ...as long as that person holds the key to my heart , that's fine for me ..i have been in love with the "asian eye look" all my life , now i have a beautiful filipina of 2 years already and i am the happiest person in the world... so to make a long story short ... love can come from anywhere . even in my case 10,000 miles away...lol...

so ,,,can't we all just get along??? wer're not here to fight .... we're here trying to get our loved ones home ... Wayne(booger)
