Hi, we got approved only this Nov. 30, I know there's still so much to wait. My question is: My hubby visited me here in the philippines May of 2006 and we got married june of the same year. Would it be a problem in my interview if he just visited me here once? Coz we're just being practical, he just bought a house last april, so, ....... plus the fact that in the next few months, I'll be preparing for the interview, medical etc,, and plain ticket, thus I need money for that. Any help?

Thanks.

Don't over worry yourself on such a question. You were approved - congratulations! The interview will go smoothly provided that there is no information that was left out in the initial petition regarding your marriage. Bring phone records, chat transcripts, emails, letters, photos. They just want to make sure that the relationship is real...that's it.

Exactly, you just have to prove to them that its real. If the house is in both names that is even better.
You will be approved for sure. If they would ask anything, just tell them the same thing that you are telling us.
That you two are just being practical and saving for yoru house and yoru future, but that you are still in contact every day.....etc.........

Dont worry your self too much. You two will be just fine.

Don't forget to save proof of any money that your husband has sent you in addition to the phone records and chat transcripts. They also want to see pictures of the 2 of you together in various locations and some with other family members. I was only in the PI once when we got married and plan to be there for the interview with my wife.

Hello, i dont think it will going to be a prob, however the interviewer will probably asked you why it happened so fast. I was asked the same thing when I went to the embassy to claim the citizenship of my son which ended up in asking a dna test. My husband and I were married in 2004 when he visit me the first time (we we're talking online for almost 2 years before we meet in person) so obviously we have something for each other then even before we meet in person. The second time my husband visit me was only this year of Jan because we agreed that he should finish school first. I got pregnant and had our baby only 8 months and 1 week. The dna test doesnt really matter but to me its a bit off when he asked me if I re-marry, well how can I re-marry if I am already married, he even ask me if I am sure that I never re-marry. Got really pissed off but I stayed calm, c'mon common sense - my husband can't even afford to buy ticket to Manila from his own pocket how much more to pay a lawyer for the annulment case in order for me to re-marry but maybe thats how they do the interview, tricky at times. Goodluck =)

thanks everyone!!!! vj's are the best
