US Navy petitioning FILIPINO BOYFRIEND

[wittyabkter 0]

Hello everyone !

I was a green card holder for several months (I went in the US August 2013) and decided to join the military to have citizenship. Naturalization was QUICK! It only took 2 months! The US Government makes that a privilege for people who want to join the military.

Now I'm planning to petition my FILIPINO BOYFRIEND through a fiance visa. We have been in a relationship for more than 2 years and there's no letting go.

I would just like to ask the ff questions: [1] Will my salary be enough to petition him (E3 rank) or do I need a co-signer (is that the term) ? [2] How long will the processing take? [3] What are the necessary proofs we need to prepare?

Thank you all so much in advance.

You income needs to meet the 100% (being you are military) requirement of the I-864P.

Have you met in person within the past two years?

For the petition process follow the guide here on VJ http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

For the visa process later... follow the flashing arrow below.

My husband was in the Army (E4 rank) when he petitioned me. We did not have a co- sponsor . I think you'll be fine. But just to make sure ask somebody there in the Navy about it. The USCIS and the US embassy in Manila didn't give me a hardtime at all. That's the advantage if the petitioner is in the military. Since I'm a spouse visa it took me almost a year for the processing but if you're K1 usually it's about six months. Check this link for guides: http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

Thank you so much for your response. Very useful links, by the way.

Yes, we have met in the past two years. I went here in the USA last year August. I went home to the Philippines last December for a quick vacation.

Thank you so much for responding. I salute your husband for being in E4 rank!

I also thought that there's an advantage if the petitioner is in the military.

I love your USERNAME by the way. I can sense that you're deeply in love now.

I did hear that in K1 it's going to be fast. I just wanted to be certain about it.

Because I really really really want to be with my man as quickly as possible.

Very good, as that is a major requirement for the I-129F with USCIS.
