PhilippinesFlights to Cebu
Northwest often has had sub $900 RT routing Portland to Manila via 2 hour Narita (Tokyo) layover. Long travel day and arrives Manila late pm, too late for domestic connections. Tuesday-Thursday are cheapest. Yesterday's online NW price was as low as $734 late September. China Air and Asiana have shown cheap flights westcoast direct to Manila also but nothing PDX so it doesn't work out. Enjoy.

I assume this is a result of the Manila K-1 guide here on VJ being way out of date. This is really sad. Documentation verification has been gone for about 1.5 years I think.

It would really be nice if someone could update the Manila guide. Wasn't "The Sheriff" going to do that?!?

Come on VJ! Its hard enough getting through this process without a lot of very outdated info here!


+1 I am not sure Sheriff Uling is on VJ much anymore. I have asked Sheriff Uling to update the Manila K1 Visa Guide, asked another VJ member to PM him, and started a thread on the Site Related Discussion area with no changes being made. Maybe if more VJers would PM admins or Captain Ewok about the outdated information someone will notice enough to make the change.


He was here in this forum within the past couple of months. I believe there was a thread started to summarize all the changes needed. I feel sorry for people who rely on the bad info in the Manila K1 Visa Guide.


Yes - There's a lot to sort through in order to decipher what is - and is not - accurate regarding the Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide. Sheriff Uling posted a request for edits/updates and an Aug 31 submission deadline.... http://www.visajourn...howtopic=209946
It really is a substantial and helpful guide. How's it coming along?
Please Help Sheriff Uling!

OP - sorry this happened. You may want to read through the replies to the Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide for more current info. http://www.visajourn...howtopic=129059

Best of luck!

Carefully phrasing for obvious reasons.... Had been online dating for several years and there is a percentage of scammers all over the place. I suppose this created a state of paranoia in me. I met Iris, she chose me in the first place, and over the months I had to re-learn a lot of things. I had not met such a kindhearted, sincere, selfless, loving, dedicated, virtuous, beautiful, wonderful woman ever and I found it challenging to believe she liked me! Well at least the good me... There is a thread elsewhere about what VJ couples joke about to relieve stress during their journeys and a re-occurring theme came to mind: I joke that she is after me for my money; she coolly says with a somewhat frustrated air that - You don't have any! I think some skepticism is inevitable do to economics and the limited exposure and information Americans have had to virtuous Filipinas. I wish I'd known years ago how plentiful lovely virtuous and lively Filipinas are - not really as that would have changed things for Iris and I - but you get my drift. Of course there is greater opportunity in the US for upward mobility, careers etc and it is wholly acceptable that a modern intelligent woman would strive for such opportunity. But what is in the heart - the desire for a true loving relationship - that seems to be the driving force... Filipinas are great women! And very beautiful too! wink.gif

OK so is there a new way for the document verification? or am I missing something. I was going by the guide lol..


Sorry, document verification is no longer needed and there's no fees to Delbros!

We too are looking for guidance. helpsmilie.gif

The Manila Embassy K1 Visa Guide is a great source but a few things have changed since posted. Sheriff Uling requested detailed specific updates needed http://www.visajourn...howtopic=209946. Since then, Captain Ewok "unpinned it" for edits. Does anyone have any news on this?

You may want to read through all the replies to the Guide for more questions and answers http://www.visajourn...howtopic=129059 .

Best of luck!
