Meet her first. At the moment you are trying to run before you can walk. You might not even get along. Take it one step at a time. We can only advise on what the procedure is now. You say you're going to see her "in a year or so". The procedure may change in that time anyway.

alright man thanks ill take it one step at a time

That sounds like a visitor visa or something else then get married while here (don't advise doing that as it's considered fraud if was your intent). If come on K1 no returning required.

no i know now that after the interview thats when she comes to america, and no i want the k1 fiance visa. I know about the fraud thing i was only considering the k1 fiance or the spouse visa.

Sorry, forgot to answer your last question. Once the K1 visa in in her hand, you can book the flights in her name. Since she is from the Phillipines, you may want to ask this question in that regional forum once that time gets closer as I think there are some specific issues you need to get to book tickets for someone from there.

Again Good Luck!

Okay thank Im understanding this whole thing alot more. I think this will help me to be more prepared for when this actually happens. Thank you oh and one last thing they way i understand it is that i just buy a ticket for her online or something with a debit card or whatever i choose to pay with and shell pick it up there? anyways yeah thanks!

hi

yes, you can file for the k1 once you return

once she comes and you get married within the 90 days, you will file for adjustment of status, that's what the K1 is for, to file for the GC and not leave,

she may or may not have an interview, as some that have come on a K1 have not had an interview

she can only work and travel once she has the work permit and advance parole, which will take a few months

Ok thanks because I have been talking to a friend and the way he said it, it made me think that shed come over then go back then come back here and i was so confused by that. Thanks for the reply

Ok I am a new member, and I have read alot on this website, and I'm so overwhelmed but I think I am starting to understand. I think that going for a k1 visa is the best option..I have a few questions first.

1. Ok Say that I go and visit her, would I file for that stuff once I come back?

2. When she comes in on her fiance visa, after i marry her can she stay in america for the interview or does she have to go back to her home country in the Philippines? (im confused about that and i dont see the point of her coming here then going there and then back but if that isnt the case then thats good)

3. Ok how do I pay for her flight? It may sound stupid but I dont know.

Ok a little bit of background this isnt happening soon or anything I just want to plan, im the kind of person who stresses out if I dont at least have something planned and thought out well before I go into things.

I have been talking to this girl for about a year and I am planning to save up money to see her in a year or so. (Flight costs from here to manila is alot) I met her on a dating app and we he have been talking to each other on email and facebook every day. We also talk to each other on skype and the phone almost every day. We are pretty serious and I want to know what you guys think. Oh and please answer my questions!
