Greetings all.

I am introducing myself and my wife. I am from Idaho and she is from the Philippines. We met on a online dating site called plenty of fish. We chatted for several months and I was captivated by her charm and wit. After hours of chatting and some phone called I bought a packet8 phone and sent it to her, now we can talk for free hours a day. We were married April 12, 2008 and I stayed with her till the middle of may. The day I had to come home was the saddest day of our lives. I was previously married and have joint custody of my children. My new wife is expecting our first born in around Feb some time. We are both excited about it. Oh my name is Roy my my wifes name is Charleen.

There is one thing that I am scared about with this immigration process , her uncle is Senator Antonio Fuentes Trillanes IV and a Wikipedia entry for all the non Pinoy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Trillanes_IV I am worried that post 9/11 things will not go smoothly for us. Maybe I am just worrying about nothing... At least the US government hasn't labeled him a terrorist!

I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey and a speedy process. We are going for a CR1 visa btw.

Welcome to VJ and good luck on your journey!!!

WELCOME to VJ! May your flight to happiness be free of turbulence. (unless you like that sort of thing!)

Welcome to VJ!!! . I don't think her process will be affected by being a relative of Senator Trillanes unless she was directly involved in the cases filed against him. It's just my opinion though.I'm sure members here who has experience or knowledge about this situation can give more input than me. Anyway, I hope your process will be smooth and fast. Good luck

Welcome and good luck with your journey.

Hi and Welcome to VJ!

welcome to VJ!!! i don't think it will affect her visa processing if he is related to trillanes but hey i voted trillanes on the last election Good luck on your journey and may it be fast and smooth

:|: PiNk :|:

Thanks everyone. I think Trillanes is a honurable man myself. Everything I have read about him and been told makes you respect him even more. I sure hope that things go well for him, he has alot of support I know that.

Thanks everybody and smooth sailing for you all!

hi there! welcome to VJ family. regarding your concern about your wife being a relative of trillanes..well as long as she doesn't have any criminal records, her chances of being approved of her visa is as good as everbody is. so..no worries! also..just as long as you can support your new family financially, there'll be no problem.

this thing with trillanes is all political. and the government has not yet labeled him a terrorist. i also voted for him .

goodluck to your journey! God bless you and your new baby!

Welcome to VJ and good luck with your journey. Congrats on the soon to be new arrival in your lives. And don't worry about things that haven't happened yet, concentrate on what you need to in order to get your wife and child here. I know easier said than done, but that will hopefully keep you busy so you don't worry so much.

Hello and welcome to VJ!
