Hi, I am from Laguna and my husband to be is from CT. We are still praying for the right way

in applying for visa. We would like a visa that can bring me faster in the USA and be together

as lawfully wedded couple.

We thought first for K-1, but we also consider K-3 because we can marry here and it will give

respect for my family, but K-1 seems have priority over K-3 since K-3 have lesser applicants.

I hope you don't me asking for advice. God bless you!

San ka sa Laguna? Taga-San Pablo ako.

My friends,

Where in the Philippines are you or your loved ones from? We'd be thrilled to know. Also, please provide a monicker or description of your town, city or province, if you could.

We'll start with myself. I am from Santa Cruz, a town just south of Davao City, and otherwise known as the Investors' Haven of Davao del Sur because of so many big enterprises with situs here. My fiance in Corona, California was born and raised in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, the Spanish colonial pueblo that was originally named La Ciudad Fernandina by our Castilian founders, in honor of King Ferdinand of Spain.

How about you?

I was born in Pasig Metro Manila, my father born in Camarines Sur and my mom born in Masbate, i grew up in Pampanga since I was 2 years old, so i consider pampanga as my hometown. I live 30 minutes away from Angeles City. My husband born in Ohio but living in Kentucky for almost 20 years.

Margie is from Butuan City on the island of Mindanao. Her province is Augusan Del Norte. Butuan is not exactly a tourist attraction but I loved it there! Butuan City is on the far northern end of the island and is home to the Bancasi Airport. I really miss being there with Margie. I am in Bourbon Indiana over 8,000 mile away, waiting for my Honey! Anyone else here from Butuan?? Margie would love to chat I'm sure.

My asawa was born and raised in Cawayan, Masbate, in a little town called Villa Hermosa. Masbate is easy to recognize because it is the only province shaped like a gun. I was born and raised in Black River, New York, which is a small town in the North Country, about an hour north of Syracuse. We will live in Rapid City, South Dakota until I retire, at which time we will relocate to southern Arizona.
