US Immigration from Philippines

Hi!

Back Story...

I've know my fiance for 23 years, we met in the Philippines where I grew up and had a relationship during our teenage years 1997 - 1999. Towards the end of 1999 I flew back to the states and while we kept in tough unfortunately I never had the means to bring her to the US. We've stayed friends through the years although lost contact between 2001 and 2007. Along came Facebook and we reconnected, unfortunately I was with someone else and expecting a child. We stayed friends and continued communicating through the years. In 2015 I had a job offer through my company and moved to VA, things with my partner were shaky at best and during a trip to the Philippines met my now fiance. Unfortunately life happened again and I was forced to make a tough decision... marry the girl of my dreams or fight to keep my son... after heartbreaking decision I broke the news to her that my son and his mother would be moving to VA so I could be closer to him.

Fast forward a few years and as one would expect my relationship with my son's mother ended in divorce. Throughout all the mess, my childhood sweetheart supported me and kept me sane as best as one could being miles apart. Once the divorce was finalized, I gained custody of my son and was on the fast track to happiness... and finally after all these years I have the means to petition the love of my life to come to the US and be me me and my son. She stayed single and has no kids and decided to take a job as a Nanny in Dubai. So I decided for Valentine's day I would hop on a flight from the US to Dubai to see her and officially propose. The trip was short and because of her job we were only really able to spend her day off together. We took as many pictures as we could to document my trip and saved as many receipts from the trip as possible.

Now I am getting all the paperwork together to file for a K1-Fiance Visa and am not sure I have enough proof. Listed below.

- Flight Itinerary and Receipt, Lost boarding passes to Dubai but have my return boarding passes.

- COVID-19 Test from Dubai to return to the US

- Receipts from various restaurants and places we visited, Global Village & Miracle Gardens

- Bank Statements Showing Expenses while in Dubai

- Passport with Entry & Exit stamps

- She has letters and pictures I sent her early on in 2000

- Engagement Ring Receipt

- Rental Car Receipt

- Hotel Receipt

- Friends we grew with can provide statements of our relationship while living in the Philippines, (not sure if this will help)

- My Certificate of Birth Abroad showing I was born in the Philippines, ( I didn't move back to the states til I was 18)

- Pictures of us together in Dubai.

- Facebook conversations between the two of us.

- Pictures of her from when we were together in the Philippines, (unfortunately they are taken of her while at our house and not with me in the picture.)

- Certified copy of my divorce decree.

We used to communicate via email, unfortunately the accounts we used are no longer active so we can't retrieve those emails.

She is also a current resident of Dubai and holds a resident's card.

I want to get this right the first time! So insight from folks here would truly appreciated...

Thank you...

I ll try to make this as least complicated as possible. As a background, there are 4 addresses indicated in different forms since we started this journey. Our cases (CR1 and two CR2) are currently at the US embassy.

Physical addresses:

Address 1 (Philippines): where petitioner and beneficiaries lived before petitioner moved back to the US

Address 2 (Philippines): where beneficiaries lived prior to CR1 s marriage with the petitioner

Address 3 (USA): Petitioner s parents address

Mailing address:

Address 4 (USA): Petitioner s mailing address

At the time of filing the I-130 up to being DQd, my USC husband (petitioner), our kids, and myself (beneficiaries) lived in Address 1. My husband moved back to the US after we got DQd. As he doesn t own a house in the US, he currently lives in a hotel and will move into an Airbnb while waiting for our furniture (we shipped all our goods from the Philippines; ETA in the US is end of March). After which, he will either buy or rent a house for the 4 of us. Meanwhile, the kids and I moved back to Address 2 while waiting for our interview.

In all our forms (I-130, old I-864, and DS-260), we wrote Address 1 as our (petitioner and beneficiaries) physical address and Address 4 as petitioner s mailing address. Address 3 was indicated in I-130 and DS-260 as the address where the beneficiaries intend to live in the US when we get there.

My husband just filled out a new I-864 to reflect his new job and wrote Address 3 as his physical address.

1. Should he notify USCIS, NVC, or the embassy to reflect his parents address as his new physical address even though he s moving into a new one in about a month?

2. Should we edit our DS-260 to reflect that we moved to my old address or just wait till the interview?

TIA.

Hello All,

I'm wanting to meet my fianc in Costa Rica during their school break in June maybe, But she is a teacher with DepED and they seem to have a thousand other rules about traveling or if she is even allowed.

Does anyone have experience in what our options might be for her to be able to travel outside of the normal Travel/health insurance, signing the document about dangers and risks of traveling etc....

Is a travel authority required? What is the risk of not telling anyone she is leaving for a vacation?

Thanks!

Since the new Admin wants to make 12 million illegals citizens in months, where do I get a refund for all the money paid to USCIS? (Sarcasm.)

My wife just completed her oath ceremony amd is now a US Citizen. She plans to travel to the Philippines in April. Can she still use her filipino Passport to enter he Philippines. We will complete the dial citizeship process, just don't know if it will be completed before she travels.

Thank you
