  1. My husband and I watched the latest episode and I was kinda disappointed with how the Filipina reacted on her engagement ring to the extent of asking her fiance to go the jewelry store to have it checked. Personally, I don't care if the ring is real or not what matters most is how I am loved and cared by my man.

    Weird, but I actually thought that what she really meant by all that was that the store sold her boyfriend a fake ring without him knowing it was fake and that he paid a lot of money for something that's probably not worth it. But everybody, including my husband, says that she actually thinks he got her a cheap ring hoping she won't notice.

  2. Hi everybody! There's one thing I don't understand and can't find an answer to. So, as soon as the K-1 visa beneficiary arrives in the US, the couple have 3 months to get married and during that time the beneficiary gets a temporary work permit. Then, right after the marriage, they apply for AOS, and the application may include I-765, an application for employment authorization, which takes about 3 months to process. That is, if the beneficiary wants to work while waiting for the temporary green card. The question is, does the beneficiary need to quit the job s/he has been working at while on K-1 visa, and then resume it once I-765 is approved? Would any employer agree to that? I don't think so.

  3. Thanks so much for your support people, because he sounded so confident I thought I was going crazy, he always has such good points! And by the way, there's another thing I became curious about after reading through all the threads here: can K1 be filed while the beneficiary is in the US as a visitor? Because it seems like most people file the petition while their loved one is abroad and then struggle to visit each other.

  4. Hi everyone!

    I’m a B1/B2 visa holder who has been in a long-distance relationship with a US citizen for 7 months, but mostly online. We’ve only had 6 weeks together because of our jobs. We’re not even talking about getting married yet, because we need to get to know each other better. However, during one of our daily skype chats, we came across the topic of fiancé/spouse visas. I was watching this video on youtube where a Philippine girl collected screen captures of her skyping with her American fiancé whom she has never seen in person. So I tell my boyfriend about it and here’s how our conversation turned out:

    Him: I don’t know why she posts these things on youtube, why would she do that?

    Me: The girl probably wants to have as many proofs of their relationship as possible for when she applies for the fiancée visa.

    Him: But she doesn’t need that! If they want to get married, she just comes to the US on a tourist visa and they get married. If she wants to get a tourist visa, she needs to hide the fact that she has a boyfriend in the USA. Also, they can get married when he comes to visit her in the Philippines and then he’ll just bring her to the US with him as his wife and she won’t need to prove their relationship to anyone because they will be married!

    Me: He can’t just bring her back with him if they get married outside the US, she needs a special visa for that, called a spouse visa, K-3.

    Him: You’re wrong, I know many people who married their girlfriends/boyfriends abroad and simply travelled back together.

    Me: On what visa type?

    Him: I don’t know, just as spouses of US citizens.

    Me: So they probably used B1/B2 visas and then applied for change of status. Do you know that it can backfire at them and especially their relatives if they want to get a visa too?

    Him: Three years after they get married, the foreign spouse becomes a citizen and is therefore treated as one, and all of his/her relatives can easily get a visitor’s visa.

    Well, long story short, I’m not sure I could change his mind on the subject, but somehow I think I’m right and he’s misguided. How can I prove him wrong?
