Just wondering if I have resided here in the Philippines for 3 years, and been with my fiance for just over a year, would I be able to file the I129f and the other supporting documents to the USCIS here in Manila, Philippines rather than back in the US? I was told if you reside here it is acceptable but I am on a tourist visa which is up to date and not a permanent visa. Thanks for any help, very much appreciated.

Seriously being that you are currently living there, get married in the Philippines, then file the DCF I-130 spousal visa... much faster. You file everything through the embassy and the process takes maybe 60 days once you have your NSO marriage certificate.

You should post your questions in the Philippines forum http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

k-1? no.

CR-1? yes.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

No one can file an I-129F petition abroad. They are all mailed to the Dallas lockbox facility.

You can marry there and file the I-130 locally though. http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-offices/philippines-manila-field-office
