IMBRA Special TopicsFilipina in love with a canadian with legal permanent status and working in the US
i to was a canadian citizen living in usa since age of 3 on a greencard.i met the filipina i wanted to spend the rest of my life with.however,as a canadian citizen the process of k1 is impossible to say the least.i spent 7 months waiting for my n400 naturalization.the day after i recieved my citizenship papers we immediatly filed the k1 visa.needless to say this raised allot of red flags along our journey.after about 2.5 years im proud to say we are married and expecting our first child now.i spent allot of time to get to know my wife in her own country as i traveled back and forth between usa and philippines.it was well worth the time,expense.good luck to you

USCIS Service Centerscsc proceesing 6 months timeline
devil.gif this is a bunch of bull.csc is so far behind!!!!look at csc and vsc timelines very carefully.at least vsc admits they are behind and give a date.csc says they are on target for 6 months but in reality they botched timeframes.csc needs to date the timeframes?they must be doing this for federal funds promised to them by bush administration.if csc falls behind no addition funds for them so they leave it at 6 months to look good.we all know this is not true.i say write your senators a letter and complain as i have done.

the manila embassy looked into your finances very carefully and laughed.i know what they wanted from me when i went thru what your going thru.manila is very tough and tight.some here say the manila embassy does not accept co-sponsors.you now are under a time factor so youd better rush amending them taxes for 2009 and showing all income thusfar for fy 2010.HURRY
