Mr. TeddyHoney,

I don't know if you are still on VJ or not but I would like to ask you how things worked out. My wife is also from the Philippines and has just tested positive for the skin TB test and they found abnormalities in her chest xray. She does not have any symptoms so we still don't know if it is a false positive or Latent TB. Either way, we just had our Green card interview with the USCIS and have 76 days left to provide all the paperwork for her Green card. She is here on a K1 Visa. I'm just wondering what happened in your case. Do you know that if my wife has Latent TB if they will let here stay here while she undergoes treatment or will she have to leave and come back after she has completed the treatment?

Thank you

I'm happy to say that my fiance is on her way in a couple of weeks. When she gets here she will immediately apply for her SSN which I'm assuming will be with her current name. Then after we get married in a couple more weeks and her name changes to my last name. Is it then that we submit some kind of amendment for her SS card? What documents will we need to supply for that, a marriage certificate? Also, should we wait until after that to apply for her drivers license so that her new name will be on that? Thanks

My fiance will be arriving in a couple of months on her K1 Fiance visa so we need to get married within 3 months of her getting here. When I look up getting a marriage license it says that she will need a government issued ID. Does this mean the US government or can she apply for a marriage license with her Philippine passport? We want to get married asap after she get here but don't know if we need to get her a California ID first.

It's ok to buy a roundtrip ticket in order to save money just not a requirement. If you do buy a round trip ticket make sure you cancel the return ticket with the airline after the fiancee is here.

Good point, I didn't think of that. Do you know what happens if you don't cancel the ticket? Just curious...

No there is no such requirement.

I am curious though that you state that your wife has been approved and is applying for her visa. This statement concerns me. Who pre-approved her? Where are you in the process?

Thanks. No need to be concerned though, my fiance was approved by the USCIS and now is getting the medical before the interview in her country.

I don't know if anything is different for military folks but I read that your employer has to state:

1) if your position is full-time or part-time

2) If it is a permanent position

3) What your title is

4) When you began

5) Your annual salary

It has to be on company letterhead and signed by your manager with contact info.

I hope this helps.

I just don't know if there are any requirements for having a ticket back in case something goes wrong.

I don't know what your circumstances are and I don't want to get your hopes up but my fiance was just approved from the Philippines in 5 weeks! I couldn't believe it. I made a good case though with the help of VisaJourney and a book called Fiance and Marriage Visas, a Couples Guide to US Immigration by Nolo. It helped a lot. You might find some answers to your other questions there too. Good luck!

My fiance in the Philippines was approved and is going through the process of getting her visa. I'm just wondering if when she gets the visa if she will buy a one way ticket or does it have to be a roundtrip?

So, I paid $20 to join meetfilipinosingles.com and my fiance didn't pay to join filipinamatch.com. I guess the websites have different names but work as one. Is this considered an international marriage broker? I am an American and my fiance is from the Philippines.
