Hey VJérs .. A quick update from Manila .. Rain and I were approved for our K1 Visa today. We're 24 years apart, she's 18 years old, I was married to a Filipina before, and we had no problems. Maybe it was our good looks combined that got us through :-) We were well documented though and I attended the interview. Our faith in The Lord Jesus Christ got us through the difficult times and brought us together. God is great! All the best to everyone ... our life-long adventure together has just begun. Ingat!!

It is the old double standard. I am older than my husband and this is a plroble for a woman. My brother in law married russian woman 40 years younger and she is here. but women are not treated equal here. Even though age discrimination is unconstitutional, they do it. this will be my argument and i intend to take the issue to the papers if I have to.

And Hugh Hefner marries women 60 years younger, so what....:whistle:

Don't hate, appreciate.

Congratz to a fine couple, Paul & Rain.

Have a wonderful life together! :dance:

Hey VJérs .. A quick update from Manila .. Rain and I were approved for our K1 Visa today. We're 24 years apart, she's 18 years old, I was married to a Filipina before, and we had no problems. Maybe it was our good looks combined that got us through :-) We were well documented though and I attended the interview. Our faith in The Lord Jesus Christ got us through the difficult times and brought us together. God is great! All the best to everyone ... our life-long adventure together has just begun. Ingat!!

...Paul & Rain...

This gives me a positive hope! Me and my fiance have 21 years age gap, I'm 22. And he was previously married to a filipina too. Hope we will be approve too on our interview. Btw, did the CO ask questions to you too? If so, what type of questions if you don't mind me asking?

Anyway, congratz to both of you Paul and Rain! :)

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T
