That is a pretty vague question. Depending on many things, there is a lot you need to know.

If you are just starting to think about the process read the GUIDEs for the K-1, look up on the blue menu bar

i was just asking can every thing be done in the usa after your first visit or do you need to do some of the stuff while your in the philippines

my thoughts to you would be to start the paper work before you go and bring the stuff with you that she will have to sign (G-325A, Letter of Intent ).

Also take lots of pictures of the 2 of you together. Save all boarding passes, hotel receipts (make sure they have both your names on them) and anything that shows that you were together.

We sat down together while I was here the first time and put the packet together. Was an easy way to do it. Then you both can have your own copy with real signatures, and the golden one to drop in the mail when you get home.

Take a plane ride together, save the boarding passes, a few pics in places that say " were in the Phil's together"- like in front of moa, the big Davao letters at sm, ya get the idea. We sent a half dozen.

Best wishes.

And you might want to buy her a small ring and save the receipt. Take pictures of you putting it on her finger. I know my wife enjoyed her little stainless steel band over my mother's ring until we got married and wore it all the time. Now she won't take off her wedding band for anything! Mom's ring is for special occasions with the band.

As mentioned, complete the 325A and the Letter of Intent while there as they both require her original signature. Then as I said before read through the GUIDE for the for the K-1 (link at the top of this page), you follow the GUIDE for the I-129F process and you will be fine, complete as much of that as possible, especially any where there are questions regarding your fiancee and her family.

Don't need a ring or a receipt in reality. But I do agree if you are asking a woman to marry you... a ring is the classy touch. And pictures are nice for "over the years"
