K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee Visa - Length of RELATIONSHIP Question
I just recently found this forum and I am so glad I did, so many helpful info!

I have a question, this is my situation...
I have known my fiancee since we were kids. We were schoolmates in elemtary school, I used tio make fun of her everyday and sorry to say I was the bully. We graduated and went to separate high schools, she went to an all girls school I went to an al boys school in the Philippines. We dated when we were in high school then I had to leave for the states after my graduation. We kept in touch with cards, letters until around 1999, lost contact. She had 2 beautiful girl and boy, 7 and 8 years old (SHE NEVER MARRIED).

In 2003 I went back to the Philippines for a funeral, and we met, I met her kids as well.

Now in Febuary of 2008 we saw each other online and we started talking again, both single so in April the 7th we renewed our bond. I decided that I lost her once I am never loosing her again, so on July the 5th 2008 I went back to the Philippines and proposed, we are now engaged!

Now after 14 years one might think all the letters I've sent may have been tossed in the garbage longtime ago but not with my fiancee, she kept every sinle letter and card I have sent her since 1994! I WAS VERY SURPRISED, I had tears in my eyes when she showed me!

NOW HERES MY QUESTION since i just posted my situation and a little history.

Since we just renewed our bond last month - July 2008, will this be an issue filing my application (K1 VISA) to get her here? Yes I am an American Citizen. Her children of 7 and 8 will be following later. Do they base it on renewing our bond or on how long we have known each other?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Based on your time line, a NOA2 should be upon you within this month or next. Heck could be next week. Hang in there. GOOD LUCK to you.

Save those phone cards and take them with you in the interview.

I save every single one but in my case the 1 800 numbers show in my cell phone bill, but hey i also use different phones also, I still save them as adviced by my lawyer.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresproof of phone calls
Yep if you use your cell then the long distance number (her number) should be displayed.
If you use a prepaid calling card only the 800 number will show (I use this sometimes so i save the used cards)

Also I do not try to limit myself to just the phone, I also use Yahoo Phone, Skype and keep logs and logs of it for proof for interview time.

Good luck.

Basically you are describing how you and your fiancee met each other. Some people just fill out that little box with a little description and some include a separate sheet.

Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between November 2, 2008 and November 20, 2008*.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresText Messaging Proof?
Me and my SO text everyday as well, I use Chikka and smetimes my Tmobile phone. Her number shows in my TMobile bill.

But as fasr as tracking i primarily use Chikka. Chikka tracks each and every text that you send with time stamps and dates, I copy them to a word file and print them for every month. Now since my fiancee texts me on a roaming cell phone, I type each and every one of those texts, yes a lot of work but it's all worth it, thats just me.

CVC? You mean CSC? (California Service Center)

You can also check with your bank to see if the check has been cashed, your case number should be stamped on the back. Your lawyer is supposed to let you know if he received your NOA1. My NOA1 was sent to my lawyer since he is representing me.

Sounds like to me you need to stay away from Manila area. Many scammers around the Manila.

Go down to Mindanao area, Davao is about 1.5 hour flight from Manila.

Get a girl from the province.

Once you meet and if you like her go get a CENOMAR as mentioned above, Which is a great suggestion.



I dont think Mindanao area has nice filipinas.. Probably you need to live more years to discover that we a lot of great people.
Scammer is for someone who remain foolish or stupid even if they have seen the red flags already..



You don't think that the Mindanao area has nice Filipinas? What makes you think that? What made you come to that conclusion?

I am just asking because I AM FROM MINDANAO! Zamboanga City to be exact, Asias Latin City............
