Hi folks. My fiance's interview is scheduled for January 7th in Manila. We are a same sex couple. My fiance's town was essentially destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan, so he has temporarily moved in with his cousin in the Manila area. It's essential we have good internet and communication capabilities as we approach the interview date.
I'm looking to see if there are any other same sex couples on this site that are also being processed in Manila. To date I have been impressed with the speed our petition and interview date have been handled. I mailed our I-129F on August 2nd. Does anyone know of any same sex success stories out of Manila?
I have been to the Philippines 3 times over the last 2 years for 3 weeks each visit. I really do not believe we have any problems establishing our relationship. You just can't help but be a little nervous.
We are a bi-national same sex couple of almost three years. I reside in the USA and my fiance resides in the Philippines. We mailed our I129F on August 2nd. Received confirmation of receipt on August 8th. And this week on Monday, almost 7 weeks to the day, we received notification that our petition has been approved. The next day we were notified that it has been forwarded to the Dept of State for VISA processing. I was caught off guard with the speed it was processed at.
So to all other same sex couples as far as I can tell at this point in the process we are certainly being treated fairly.
