7. Other names used, just like the others replied, yes. Put the old name down and I would provide a copy of the change just so the information is at hand just to avoid an RFE. The US gov't has access to the name change so they can view records themselves with background check, however sending is being proactive.
10. Yes, only use Naturalization. If the situation was that you were not yet a citizen but had a green card (and your parents petitioned you as alien relative) you would use through parents. If you went through the naturalization, that's what to use.
1. I would recommend the passport name. The space might not be an issue. But the true guarantee is to follow what is on the birth certificate. Obvi the passport should match the birth certificate. My fiance had her name wrong on her birth certificate but got an affidavit. I used the correct name (which she didn't have passport yet).
2. Use the address where she will receive mail. This is obvi where they will be returning her passport with the K1 when it's complete. So, If you forsee she will not stay at the appartment by the expected time the visa is approved you might want to consider using the parent's address. You will be only required to put down one address here. The G-325A is where you will list all places lived for the beneficiary within past 5 years. For ONLY the I-129F, the dorm address is disregarded completely.
4. Use the DOB from the birth certificate. If it matches the passport, then I do not need to distinguish which to use because it's pointless.
18. Yes. That is sufficient. The copy of your passport stamps for Dec/10-July/11 and Sept/11-Feb/12 along with the photos of you together show the proof of having met. They just want a brief statement on how you met.
20. I'm thinking the only one is in Bejing, China. This is where she will do her interview. Way before she sets foot into the US at POE. New york, Nay.

I'm not going to bother to quote the other things by you. The reason why some of us can't live with the petitioner before applying is because I/we have a life here in the US. I have a job and only 2 weeks vacation a year. And tix alone cost between $1400 and $2000 to fly to my beneficiary's country depending on time of year... and thats just coach seats. I can't leave my job here for a month and expect to have money to live there (even tho its cheaper) and pay my mortgage here. So the flaw in your blanket statement is that many who can go live in the beneficiary's country for extended periods of time are retired. So a 60+ year old marrying a 20 year old makes their relationship more genunine that someone who met twice? For those who have met only a few times, they just need to perceive things clearly and not be blinded to whom the beneficiary really is, by love or lust. But then again, common sense isn't that common. And some foreigners are good liars. Realize some will do anything to be here. (that part covers my #### to not infer about the OP's common sense). Even if I can't get pregnant (the movie Junior doesnt apply.. lol) doesn't mean its any less of a struggle for me waiting. You haven't realized with this country that illegals and big businesses reap all the benefits?

Oh. true---you are right there. Really I am going to take this action for her sake, not mine. This will be the biggest gift I can offer---to send her home, and release her from the misery of life in the USA, and return her the better quality of life she came from. I am trying to be selfless.

How exactly is anything he obtained done in an illegal manner? If he can view his wife's FB profile(s), then it's legal. FB is a public database. The point at which a subpoena is required would be when the FB profile is hidden or deactivated AND it is required for court. The only court matter would/could be divorce. You can by all means check the OP's state's statute, but the statute usually defines things for electronic media as video and voice recordings where both parties involved need to know a recording is being made. No I'm not a lawyer, however I have access to my particular state's statute and I have looked into the matter for using FB from a crazy ex posting about stalking me, for matters at which I will not discuss. And you can read the privacy part of the user agreements to FB, YM, skype accounts.
The OP should at least make an attempt. She can't really file for RoC without him (unless she tries to claim VAWA). It's better to try and fail than to just give in.

As one posted... in the Philippines two guys who are friends can hold hands and walk down the street and not be bayot. But Just because the OP may not know tagalog, there is no custom for telling a long time friend that you love them, which is specific to the Philippines.
For what Mimi said... it may be a Filipino point of view. She is right on some points like her closing down and being quiet and won't talk about it. I don't want to put any thoughts into your mind, but do you know if she was seeing the ex while she was there waiting for the K1, prior to the interview? Right now, it's only emotionally cheating. I'm not justifying it. You can't love two people. I wouldn't say take the internet away from her, but the only way she can let go of her past is by not being a part of it. If she's gonna keep talking to him, the feelings will still stay as strong. I agree with another poster about the feelings for a first love that remain, but they aren't prevalent when you dont speak to the person. If it truely is full-on cheating, get out. She is not matured enough to know what she wants. I would see the lying/denying as another red flag. She is supposed to be trustworth. And if it comes to where she realizes what she had and what she gave up, just push yourself to move on. There are plenty. Only you can make the choice.
To go against another thing Mimi said, what you found you have evidence to show she did not enter into the marriage under good faith. Save it, and anything else. So her trying to file I-751 alone, it would be denied and therefore no divorce will let her have 50% or even stay.

The only qualms I have are about the conflict where it says men sink, and how it states men failing to listen to their wives are the reason for so many marriage failures. I can see plenty of times when women can't make a choice to save their life. I wonder if even w/ driving counts. Men might take higher chances while women wait 'til the last possible moment. IDK. I thought money was the biggest issue for divorce, according to some sources. Being hen pecked... maybe I see it as it was the woman's job to realize who I am and whether or not she wanted to be with me always. People rarely change, and it's not inflicted by someone else.
I'll agree to the having no friends but it's not about intimacy issues. I do laugh at a lot of situations but it's more cuz i just don't give a F*. The situation doesn't bother me, can't change it, so whatever. And maybe knowing all about a wife is all that matters to me for intimacy. You can gather who a friend really is by the stories he tells you.

Why are so many blind to see the immigration system in this country is screwed up? What do other countries do for a USC trying to immigrate there? Can a USC ever go to the philippines and become a citizen? NO. Can anyone immigrate to Australia without having a job there? NOPE. What about the prostitutes from Brazil? They happened to just be in a situation involving secret service. Dumb luck they were the ones. And they can immigrate to the US just for a story. The protestor in China. Jailed there, but gets to come to the US within a month. Why do they get moved to the front of the line?
You have at least a better view that the children get benefits (but it costs the people who do things LEGALLY, time... one thing you can not get back. And I mean that as processing time that we have to wait. The actual time spent someone working on a case is the same, but adding more orders makes the overall processing time longer. It's not a hard concept to grasp) Some just think that the parents get rights to stay too because you "can't" break up families. You feel we don't give compassion, but what you don't realize it's actually being shoveled out already. We can't solve all of the world's problems.

Actually I disagree that they are clear. The instructions do say proof of having met within the past two years, but its quite obvious how people interpret this differently. Look at previous posts and you see how some included very little and others put a lot; both were approved. Form part C, question 1, I have heard of people getting an RFE for having it blank. But it seems it could be read as "if.....blah blah blah". Therefore if you don't even meet any criteria you don't even bother to answer it. Not even with an 'N/A'. Another example would be "were you ever convicted of a crime? Y N" and the next question was "did the conviction result in prison time?" (just an example). If you answered No to the first part, why would you even bother putting something in for the second part?

How old is your fiance? Age might be a factor to not know everything she wants in her life. Like some posted on her, maybe her dream is to only be married and have a family, so she can't tell you any more. Pinay do tend to worry about the now with less planning for the future, so it's only a possibility she is like this.
Have you considered the fact that she may have realized that she knows nothing of how things are here? It's a culture shock and a big difference of climate. I mention climate because...well, how many people go to the beach or have barbeques ect during the winter? Life is significantly different during January than it is in July. She only has perceptions on how things are here so she doesn't know how to think about a future here. Dreams and goals when you are a realist, you need to have some experince first.

The screening process for K1's is no easier than it is for CR1's. The only substantial difference between the two is that a CR1 has more processing at the NVC stage, while a K1 has to go through adjustment of status after coming to the US. For my wife, that meant TWO interviews - one to get the visa, and another one to get the green card. She was screened by the consulate for the first interview, and screened by USCIS for the second. I don't see how that's easy compared to a CR1.

It's very easy to say. And certainly some of the people bringing over fiances from overseas are acting irresponsibly. For sure. Some of them just fell in love with the idea of an exotic woman from another place. Maybe when that other person got here, things just weren't the same. Unfortunately, the circumstances of these types of relationships often don't allow a lot of time together in person. I mean, think about it, many people here maybe have only met their fiance for two weeks or so, and that's it. Then you are expected to marry within 90 days....
And yes, the sad truth is that many people from poorer countries have a strong desire to get to the USA, or a richer country. Even if sometimes that doesn't mean they commit fraud (although I'm sure that happens too) some of them are just blinded by the idea of a much better life. Then maybe the reality of living abroad sinks in.
But it's not fair to only blame the petitioners.

At least ☼ got what I was trying to say. Do u realize that your coach bag is a brand name? I will admit that some work hard. Their days are usually 10 hours and working 6 days a week. Some will work weeks straight before a day off for p35/hr. I was saying that someone was making counterfit Levi's. It wasnt from the actual distributer.

Filipinos, if they come into any money they will try to live like a king for one day. They don't care if they are poor the next day. They have a lot of pride, too. As was mentioned, they care about the brand name only. Levi's over there are knock-offs. I met one guy making the counterfits. Money goes a long way there, esp in certain islands. Manila, is mahal. Boracay, mahal. A coconut from the market in Boracay is like $3 US. I know one small market it was p15. It was p45 at a larger market. They will make due with whatever you send.
