Hi Everyone,

 

Been here awhile but just stumbled upon this forum. My fiancé & I been together since June of 2020 and are now a few weeks away from her K1 Fiance VISA interview at the Manila embassy (May 4th). If everything falls into place, we hope to have her travel to the US (Texas) the following Friday (May 12th)…if not…shortly thereafter. We are making plans for our wedding in Hawai’i so that my parents & the rest of my family can take part in it…

 

Take care & good luck everyone!

 

Kawika

Thanks...we went ahead & decided to forego the wedding in Hawai'i for that reason & a couple of others...so we'll be doing it here in Texas instead with a more full blown ceremony next year in the Philippines so that her family & friends can participate as well.
