I have nausea just now after i logged in here, not sure if it's because im pregnant or just reading this topic lol. But seriously..God leave filipina's alone lol. I read lots of reply that true, but what about those other filipina like me and like ur wives maybe that chose to be married with american because of the reason that we think YOU guys are so attractive, more responsible and HOT ! For me those qualification of american men like my husband that is sooo easy to fell inlove with not only for filipina but with all female all over the country. So you guys stop thinking that we only marry u coz we want to scape for something.. (maybe only atleast 20% and again not only a flipina). Lol this kind of topic is really imbarassing for us filipina who's behaving their self and never done wrong.	John&Juvy	Not Telling	Philippines	2009-02-06 15:28:00

Philippines	money problems in paradise...	We dont know, But maybe the OP's fiancee wasn't asking the whole amount of the money to pay for the surgery of her brother. She was probably just told him if how much is the total cost of the surgery. IMO, just give what ever you can only afford, I'm sure they will appriciate any help from you.

Philippines	Marrying wth a prenup contract?	My husband told me the same thing about her problem. But there is actually more of a story recently that this option may not gonna apply to her anymore. But thanks for more of the advice here. Will mention it to her. Hopefully this not gonna add up with her regrets.	John&Juvy	Not Telling	Philippines	2013-08-03 22:31:00
Philippines	Marrying wth a prenup contract?	Consider what other members said.  Don't be shy or feel awkward for asking him your own lawyer.    BTW, I have very close friend living in Maryland. Her husband didn't mention to her about the prenup when she was still in the Philippines while processing her visa.  1 week after she arrived her husband told her that he want to have a prenup. She was heart broken and disappointed, but she signed anyway, coz she love the guy and didn't marry him for his money.  2 years after their marriage the guy cheated on her, travel a lot in all different countries without her. Then later the guy also decided not to have any children with her also anymore. Now they are married for 7 years... situation still the same, they already separated but she still staying at her husband house and paying for a rent. The husband probably going to file for a divorce soon. Her regret is why she didn't ask for her own lawyer before and she just did signed and agreed of whatever her husband put on the prenup contract.. coz of the thought that it wasn't worth to question it, coz she trust and love her husband. She got nothing from him.. not help not even a right to stay at the house unless she's going to give him a money as her rent ! What a De**h .    Wish you the best !

Middle East and North Africa	Stopped cooking for my husband!	Hmmmm... We respond little here, preferring to be learners (defined often on the web as "lurkers") as opposed to "teachers", a role we are not qualified to hold. At times we: 1) revel at and celebrate the success of those who had a faster and less painful transition than ours, 2) sympathize with those who are having a much tougher go of it, 3) empathize with, and try to assure, those that had about the same experience that we had...and continue to have. But there are times, meant with no malice nor at anyone's expense...that we have to laugh at the "Jerry Springer" qualities of some of the situations described. This would be one of them. Please note my use, as in almost all situations, of the term "we". Compare this to the above post, where "I", "me", "my", "my husband", and "he" abound. You are not roommates, nor are you acting out some B-rated comedy movie script where a big white line is drawn down the middle of the house, the room, the kids, the dog, the car, the refrigerator, and the bank accounts denoting what is "yours" and what is "his". Marriage is a partnership, on many many different levels. An equal partnership, replete with the concepts of sharing, negotiation, sacrifice and compromise. We all must have our individual identities, and be able to express them...one of marriages many challenges. You express those identities (at least yours) above in terms of food, money, and household duties. Is this truly how you both want to express your individuality? These certainly would be the easiest ways to share your partnership...believe me there will be much more challenging ones, no matter how blessed your life may be. "Economies" are pretty far-reaching, I wonder how each of you have a separate one living in the same country (these days, world), much less the same household. My wife and I have both joint...and separate...bank accounts. We use the separate accounts to buy gifts for each other...as we are both healthily nosey and frugal...and this preserves the surprise and enhances the illusion of monetary "from" and "to". The accounts are linked and we transfer funds between them in all directions frequently. Regardless of purchase, name on deed or title, or source of funds...this is our house, our food, our car, our dog, our money, our parents on both sides...our marriage...our life. My wife accepts our children from my previous marriage as...well, I just said it without thought...our children. The truck purchase sounds unfortunate, probably insensitive, possibly selfish. Men can be that way, we were encouraged to be so as children. I suppose you could be grateful he didn't pass it off as a birthday gift for you (I tried it once with a plasma TV...didn't work...a lesson learned). There are two theories in psychology. One says that if you work at thinking a certain way, your behaviors will follow. Another says if you practice behaving a certain way, your thoughts will follow. I would suggest, possibly, the latter? Each time you are tempted to use the terms "I", "me", "mine"...or "he", "him", "his"...in your mind replace them with "we", "us", or "ours". Encourage your husband to do the same. It won't work for every idea the two of you are trying to express, but it may go a long way to erase that imaginary line between what appears from your comments to be two separate worlds. The phrase is "married life"...not "married lives". Practice, You will get the hang of it. Good luck!	John&Juvy	Not Telling	Philippines	2009-01-31 00:51:00

See this forum is based on "family immigration", not "how to get in the US no matter who petitions". So since you love neither guys, and seems as though you are looking for a ticket into this country, I'd recommend not filing at all. Not only will 2 petitioners cause you much drama and a denial of visa, but you are hurting two guys who have no clue they are with a fraudster chick.
