Philippines has requirement for those under a certain age, like 22 or something, that they need signed parental consent. I know you're not planning to marry over there, but be sure there is no additional complications because of that.

Yeah my current job should be enough but my dads helping me as a co-sponsor he can support up to 7 aswell . Thank you!

The Philippines doesn't usually accept co-sponsors for a K1 visa. They sometimes do, but it's not typical. Depends on your situation, so don't bank on this. Your income MUST be enough if you want to be assured of success.

Also given your age I assume your fiancee is also young. Under a certain age there are more requirements (parental consent) required.

Oh she's 22 i dont think there'll be a problem with that

[Alex&Manny 16]

When my husband and I started with the K1 he was 18 and I was 20.

There are a couple of Vj members who are also your age! You'll be fine, as long as you followed all the instructions and requirements.

The very best of luck to you!

At her age, the CFO might ask her to submit a "parental advice" document.

Yeah she still needs parental advice (and a letter stating they have it).

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_999.html (most of it doesn't apply to you but to get the visa she needs to bolded section below)

The Marriage Application Process: Once a U.S. citizen has obtained from the U.S. Embassy an “Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage,” he/she may file an application for a marriage license at the office of the Philippine Civil Registrar in the town or city where one of the parties is a resident. It usually takes ten days to receive the marriage license. The U.S. citizen applicant must present: (a) the affidavit; (b) divorce decree(s) or death certificate(s), if applicable (required to verify civil status and legal capacity to contract marriage); © his/her U.S. passport; and (d) documentation regarding parental consent or advice, if applicable. (Persons ages 18 to 21 must have written parental consent to marry in the Philippines; those ages 22 to 24 must have received parental advice. Philippine law prohibits marriage for persons under the age of 18.) A judge, a minister, or other person authorized by the Philippine government can perform the marriage ceremony.

Oh so just a letter by her parents signed and dated, is hand written ok? and when would she be turning this in? @ the interview or when she gets her passport?

[Nicoco 26]

I was 20 when I petitioned my husband. No troubles, but during the interview, the CO did mock our young age for marrying and asking why we don't continue college before marrying. But we passed Good luck on your journey!

Once again: At her age, the CFO might ask her to submit a "parental advice" document.

The parental advice form should look something like this. She can probably pick up a copy of a parental advice form at her local civil registrar's office.

you need the parental consent, not for you but her and this is done on local government level. My wife knows more about this getting certified with her mom and dad. To some on here giving advice from middle eastern countries its a whole another issue. Philippines will not accept co sponser. At your age without proof of stable income and employment I cant imagine the road your about to travel. Many have more experience in life, culture and world travel than I do. I have those travels in life and Navy. I find it hard to believe you found a "chat mate" and ready to do this. The paper work will drown you and unless you go there and spend more time with her and family, you are both in for a reality check. ............unbelievable

[thinkerlove0212 158]

shoulnt somebody move this to phils forum?

[spn1025 38]

hmm I could be wrong, but to sponsor someone, don't you have to be 21? anyway, if that's true, that's what co-sponsors are for.

its hard as it is, if you need a co sponser wouldnt that be a huge red flag.. I cant understand how anybody could travel and support and then use a "co sponser"

[CRAKZOR 4]

So I can't use a co-sponsor because I do make enough? I'm at a gross 26k a year that's enough for 3 according to the poverty chart. I'm just bringing her and I was in Philippines for college there I met her. I haven't met her parents but I've talked to them and her kids

Your fiancee has kids and you are not bringing them? How many kids?
