I always wondered what occupation people have that allow them to stay that long ? Teacher, Retired, Wealthy, Service Member, ? I am thinking it's a two edged sword. You have to be somewhat ok funds wise to travel and stay, but it's hard to go for long periods when you work.

At least that was my problem.

I am a contractor in Afghanistan and I am able to stay for a long period of time. I stayed 29 days in September and loved every minute of it. Yes I overstayed my visa, but all I had to do was pay 3100peso at the airport before I was able to leave. Don't worry about getting extension bc you will just pay the same. But be sure to schedule a appointment for the "Legal Capicity of Marriage" at the US embassy.

I am already married and she is here so it is not an issue. I think I need a job change. Anyone ever looked at their life and thought ? I could make a lot less money and be a lot happier ?

we got married within 2 1/2 days, but that took a lot of planning before hand. If you were willing to put it off a couple months farther, you could do most everything from right in the USA, then get the legal capacity to marry there in the Philippines, and make arrangements at City Hall and marry before 3 days have passed. And after a certain age you dont need the counselling... Not sure how old you both are.
