Should I Get Married In The Philippines Or Bring My Fiancee To The USA Then Marry? Ken's Adventures in Asia/Philippines! Email: postcardsfromcebu@gmail.com
My fiancé and I planned to marry in Leyte at her place but then found it that it would be much faster for her to come to U.S. on K1 visa. I used a fiancé visa to help do paperwork since I wasn’t confident enough to do on my own fearing I would make a mistake. I think they charged me 1000 for for both the Visa paperwork and AOS paperwork. Turned out that it still took 10 months to get it all processed because after the killings in California by a K1 visa couple, the U. S. became much more thorough on background checks. Very expensive no matter how you get it done.
Hi Ken, This is something I had to contend with but bringing my wife to Australia. Like you say each person needs to work out what's best for their own situation. I brought my wife to Australia and married her there (mainly on advice of a immigration agent). It's around $8000 now in Aus for a Partner visa I believe Plus the cost of a medical exam in Australia which was a couple of hundred dollars from memory. Good and helpful information Ken. Have a good day 🙂
U can marry her in the Philippines b'coz your fiance is a Filipina besides her family is in the Philippines or depends on your decision.good luck both of u
Would it be possible for one to just go to the Philippines marry the person and then fly back as a married couple? Or is there more of a complicated process than the simplicity that I hope?
So if I was planning to go there in her country and marry her there what documents should I prepare to bring and steps to take and with affidavit of support what are any restrictions or the requirements?
Hello, I have a question. If we get Cr1 Visa and once i arrive in US am i allowed to find a Job after i get my green card or do I need to wait? I hope you answer my question. Thank you
Okay so due to me not having the time to go through the marriage counseling classes for 3 weeks and the trip to Manilla since have to work we are now looking at doing the K-1 visa and promising you mentioned it seems to be faster. So my question is when she arrives her we then have 3 months to be married correct? What happens after we marry would she have to return to Philippines or can stay here now? Also how do you find out which offices can process faster as not very busy? Sorry for the Q's but never done this. How do i go about getting paperwork and start the process?
what is the annual income required for a k1....for example...currently I do not have a high annual income but I do have a considerable amount of assets in stocks, bonds, IRA's, and 401 k's
Hi Colby, I believe as long as your income is above the poverty level, you're fine. Here are a couple of links that may help! www.uscis.gov/i-864p citizenpath.com/faq/k-1-visa-income-requirements/
Aloha, thank you for the info, can you share or make a video regarding how the process included your stepdaughter. My Filipina and I are starting the process of getting her and her daughter here to US. Problem is her daughter is currently 16, we want her to come with mom. We just cant find any videos which address older kids! Again, thanks for your response in advance!
Hi, Try looking here: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html If the information on the State Department website does not answer your questions then you might want to consider contacting an immigration attorney? Best of luck!
Well my girl is from olongapo we have beet use in FaceTime for a year and 3 months I have so many questions I need to right them all down I need help ..
Hi sir can i ask a question, in k1 visa or fiance visa is it okay that the filipina woman will marry her bf in the US even they didn't meet even just once ? Like for example the filipina woman will go to US and they can marry there ? Is it still consider a fiance visa? Thank you
Thanks man, but I really don't know. AOS is used by K1 visa holders, after they are married to apply for a green card. Vivian came to the USA on a CR1 visa and received her green card straight away.
Sorry man, I misunderstood you question. Adjustment Of Status (AOS) is used for the K1 to get the green card after they are married. You're talking Affidavit Of Support (AOS) and yeah, I think it is 25% over the poverty level, but better to check it here: www.uscis.gov/i-864
Hi sir thank you for sharing the infcormation about this matter can i ask somethink about the k1 visa or fiancee visa is it true that there is required a joint account from the bank?
Hi thanks for the reply, so I have another question. After you got married here in our country, did you immediately filed for CR1? Or you waited for a certain time before you filed the CR1?
@@haidemercadoharold Your husband will need to file the petition with the US Government. Here is where you start: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html
Hi, after meeting your fiance here in our country, how long did it took to you to file k1 visa from the time you met? I learned it should be 2 years after the meeting. Is it true?
I've had my sweetheart for 2 years she still in the Philippines we want to get married here in America covid has slowed us down. Is there a trusted service you can hire to walk you through this question mark and I kind of need some help
Hey Dude, Yeah COVID has been a pain in the ass for us all. Search for "Philippine k1 visa services" and you will find many, for a fee, who are willing to help.
Hello friend. I am in the process of figuring this out. Did you hire a lawyer? Or do it all yourself? What do you suggest? Also did you marry first time meeting her? Would i be able to marry the first time meeting my fiance when i go to phillipines and then have her come to me when i return?
@@marlolunez1374 okay, learn about it here: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html Once you read up, you can decide if you need an attorney or not! FYI, I did it myself. Good luck!
Hi I'm an American citizen going to meet my filipino girlfriend in the Philippines for a trip. Do I need to file a petition when I'm there or back at my home country?
I filed the petition after I returned home. Good Luck! travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html
@@PostcardsFromCebu yes I have to see what's it's like there also do I have to go back to the Philippines for the k1 visa interview? Or is it just 1 time I'm trying to find the fastest way to marry her here in ohio
@@gordonelza well maybe the other woman wants agreements,, for me if you love someone no need agreement as long as you love the each other ,or if you truly love her no need agreement, everything doesn't matter if you really want her as your wife, love truly,love unconditionally,because god love us without agreements..✌️
Your spouse needs to petition the US government on your behalf. Follow this link: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html
