K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Paul & Rain Approved in Manila!!!!	Hey VJérs .. A quick update from Manila .. Rain and I were approved for our K1 Visa today. We're 24 years apart, she's 18 years old, I was married to a Filipina before, and we had no problems. Maybe it was our good looks combined that got us through :-) We were well documented though and I attended the interview. Our faith in The Lord Jesus Christ got us through the difficult times and brought us together. God is great! All the best to everyone ... our life-long adventure together has just begun. Ingat!! ...Paul & Rain...	vertman	Male	Philippines	2011-06-16 11:14:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visa Service or Do it yourself? Manila Embassy	Beware of any strangers telling you what YOU are capable of and prepared to DO. They don't know your abilities. You do. Use your own best judgment. I encourage strangers from telling other strangers the can for sure do something themselves, when they know NOTHING of the capabilities of those they are advising. Many of them, don't yet know if they themselves will be ultimately successful doing it THEMSELVES either. The vast majority of both the denials AND the successes we see reported here were ALL do it yourself cases. What does that tell you? Yes, we did it ourselves and knew NOTHING about it until I started to learn but THAT has NOTHING to do with what ANYBODY ELSE can or should do. Exactly ... if you're an uneducated, dimwitted, old guy, felon, 3 time loser ... get an attorney, otherwise of course you can do it yourself. Who's he kidding???? haaaaa.	vertman	Male	Philippines	2011-06-23 18:21:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visa Service or Do it yourself? Manila Embassy	Do it yourself for sure - The keys are pay close attention to detail, triple check your work, triple check it again, always do your research, and be MORE than prepared. I've successfuly petitioned two K1 visas myself.	vertman	Male	Philippines	2011-06-22 18:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Do you give copies or originals at the interview?	Dear fellow VJers, At the embassy interview, do you give the CO copies or originals of the Boarding Passes, Reciepts, ect... I worry if I were to give them the original Boarding Passes and Receipts, and for some reason the visa is not approved, then they might keep the originals with them and I am left with no original Boarding Passes and Receipts that I might need for a second round at the finace visa process. Thanks yeah.. they will ask the original copy! so dont worry about it. GoodLuck!!!	vertman	Male	Philippines	2011-06-27 00:32:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	POSTAL SERVICE UNRELIABLE	Hi. I sent a letter to my fiance in the philippines via postal service and she never recieved it. After waiting for over a month she went to the p.o. and tried to collect it herself. However it is long gone and no where to be found. It made me think. If I have to send important papers/documents how should I do it? Use an American company like Fed-ex or hire a courrier? I know there is scan and then email option but there are so many papers. She would be charged for each page she has to print. I have never sent a PDF file before. Not sure I know how. My next concern was when time for her to get her packet from the Embassy how will she get it if its mailed? She'll need that to follow the directions and schedule her medical and interview. Then, the visa; it gets delivered. I heard they use some courrier service called 2go or something. So hope no problem there. Just want to know what others have done in this matter. thanks VJ MEMBERS. DAN When my husband was sending me letter, cards, we are using Postal just the regular to save money and that time we are not rush. it take 3 weeks til I received it. So when our visa is on the way! lol We are just using pdf file. Some paper needs to be in orig. or if I need to send him something I use FedEx expensive but for sure that the very important papers are safe! and never be lost. about the postal what I did is .. I know when was the letter supposed to be in hand. I will go to the post office and ask the courier bcuz sometimes they are changing the person. meaning the other person whose familiarized with my name he already knows where our house is. no need to ask to other neighbors. just go and check the mail at post office if you think the mail she never received it they might change the courier and he never found your house or other some reasons! tnx	vertman	Male	Philippines	2011-10-12 17:49:00
