K1 visa.. fiancee in malaysia but born in phils

[David & Diana R 1,005]

There is one thing we may be overlooking and I'm not saying this is true, however this girl could very well be a scammer.  She could be living with her boyfriend, husband, who knows?  The op says he has "Been taking care of her."...for 4 years?  It's possible that many foreigners have been "Taking care of her" for the last several years.  This would explain how she could afford to be on vacation (yeah right) for 4 years.  If I were a betting man I would say she has been working all this time or just scamming others to support her based on her sad story.  Just a thought...

So how is she going to take the required CFO seminar (only given in the Philippines)?  She will also get a stamp in her Philippine passport and that will also be done in the Philippines.  She will also need many documents from the Philippines that you have to stand in line for sometimes day after day until you get them.  My spouse stood in lines (me with her) for literally 7 hours and then were told to come back in a few weeks on several occasions.  You have to be a pit bull to get these documents.  They make it extremely difficult. Try getting these documents mailed to you in Malaysia...good luck.

I got it now , she is waiting on her stamp , which her agent applied for the visa is for the program that they had

Agreed...something is a bit odd with the passport situation. Either way, I think the best thing is to process the case in the Philippines anyway.

I got it now, she is waiting on her stamp

for the program tahys  they had in KL to get a working visa and its taking too long because theres too may people that applied and the election just happened. Her agent said its by batch and should be ready this month.

You do have a point. If you are in another country than where your citizen is, you must be a resident.

Many countries have these visa quirks, in Cambodia people would get work visas while not working. Sounds like she technically should have had a different visa, I doubt it creates a huge issue for you but you both need to be prepared to answer inquiries about this throughout the visa process.

 

She should get her passport back ASAP, or report it stolen to her Philippine embassy if she cannot get it back. Following that contact the US embassy about process, but frankly I would just head back to the Philippines to do it there instead.

The CFO sticker is only needed when flying out of the Philippines with a K-1 (or immigrant) visa.

seconded! this is correct.

Not true.  Not Montreal as one example

Same, not true for almost all latinamerican embassies. You HAVE to be a legal residency in the country of the embassy that has your case. You can schedule an appointment but they won't let you in to the embassy without a proof of legal residency.

Something is a miss? Yeah right because there are a couple big things that are a miss right now that I can think of. 

Exactly and the whole SE Asia region is rampant in Human Trafficking to either other countries within the region or to the MENA Region. 

Thanks for the advise. She is home in PI thanks
