That new member smell

Advice, prayer, checklists... anything would be appreciated. I've met someone online, she's beautiful, younger, and from the Philippines. All silent judging aside, am I the first? I've been alone - by design - for many years and when my granddaughter told me that I should have a girlfriend I could not give her a good enough excuse. I've prayed for the woman I'm to spend the rest of my life to make herself known to me and, by God, someone had reached out to me on what I'd considered to be a non-dating site thus it's bound to be a straight up miracle. I love telling the story of a young man going off to save the world during WWII and while taking a break from his travels if only to find a root beer float, he'd met a woman and married her the next day. Crazy, yes, but true. How brave they both had to have been. He was surely going to die and she was surely going to mourn his loss and when I'd met them, still together in their final season of life so many blessed years later, I could not help but to have been inspired. So, while I prepare for this next season of my life, could someone please reach out to me with a kind word or two of advice?

Have you booked a ticket to go and see her?

Of course, thanks. She will be in Manila much sooner than I will be able to fly there; is there an initial step that she could take while in the city? This is to ask can she get the medical out of the way? Interview? Is there a timeline checklist somewhere? I'd met with an immigration attorney and he'd mentioned that I could still state my support for her with an affidavit about how we actually haven't met. He said it must be convincing, sure, but in the event we choose to go this route, can anyone speak to this type of affidavit?

Welcome ~

There is a GUIDE here for completing the I-129F petition process, that is a good start.

Once you have the petition filed with USCIS and are waiting around for your approval notice pop over to the Philippines forum, get up to speed about the process in Manila
