That is great and maybe someday i may get a job in the Philippines when I retired I would love to work there

Here are Some of my favorite of me and my love of my life the first picture was when we first met in Manila and the 2nd picture was with her family. I Love her and her family so much i will live there one day when my career is done. . Nate

From the size of that gut , she could stand to lose a few pounds....

You said partner, Here is a pic of my Volleyball Partner

Wow that means you are at witts end on this matter but she needs to know how hard it's is to make and earn money here maybe give her some bills for her to be responsible so she that she will have to pay for the lights and heat bills is a good place to start make her pay it with her own money she earns once she sees how much it costs for wasting it i am sure it's will help or make her responsible for buying the food for you and herself so she can see how much things cost and why one should not waste anything. hope this ideal will help. Nate

My sweet little Claudeth is a wonderful, giving woman but is also the most irresponsible person I have ever met in my life. I never seen anyone melt a bar of soap before but she does it. She can plug up the shower drain quickly and just loves to take 30 or 45 minute showers twice a day. She leaves the lights on constantly and the refrigator open all the time. She will fill her plate full of food and eat about 1/4 of it and the rest goes in the trash.

I am totally at my wits end. I have been dealing with this for 4 1/2 years but have made no progress in teaching her conservation. I love her very much and would never dream of getting rid of her but have been thinking of sending her to the Philippines for a visit.

Has anyone else had this problem? I have heard comments off and on but nothing consistant with what my little consumer does.

Well any pay stubs that shows that you make engulf income to support your love is proof as i would use the last few pay stubs as some jobs will show how much you have made so far this year and if your pay stubs are like that then just 3 will do. Nate

I know the more the better, but how many is recommended? Will 5 or 6 of the most recent be adequte?

As for this matter if you are in love and that if you are able then one should help your lady of your life after all you will be living a life together after all she is your future wife(asawa) and if she has kids then one should help but first know that they can handle it as the Bible says one that is good in little can be trusted in much right

The only thing I sent my fiance were some unmentionables, so I won't mention them here.

that is one poll that should be added how many sent help back

Give me a little slack this was the first time I ever did a poll. I really was only interested in people that were sending money and I know there are some who don't send anything. As far as the amount you can either add your cost of sending the money or not and push yourself into the next bracket. Feel free to make another poll and we can all compare.

You are also missing on your poll....when it is the other way around....they send it here...

:thumbs: great Video thanks you for sharing it I love the video and the group too

Just want to share the new song of APL de Ap of BEP promoting tourism in the Philippines

Hi VJ-ers!

I just want to share a video that gives me the giggles.

It's a short skit on a show called, "Bubble Gang" that stars "Angelina and Yaya".

It particularly makes me laugh since I grew up with a yaya and didn't speak a lick of Tagalog back then.

I love our yayas but sometimes my mom, siblings and I like to tease them in public and go, "Whatever yayas!!!" In return they respond, "Ay so naughty si Ma'am Angelina 1,2,3,4,5 and 6..." (Us 5 plus mom) LOL.

I am not there yet but from what i paid for my home a few years ago if i try to sell now i would still owe the bank 20,000!!! that hurts and i know this as a few homes that are near my home that sold for in the 30,000 to 40,000 range are not selling for 10,000 to 25,000 Nate

John as long as you have a history of taking care of yourself and having a roof over your head that is nice and clean with plenty of food and that you is capable of taking care of her then you should be ok what they want to know she won't be a ward of the state( welfare) and I am sure that you both will do very well love is so amazing and beautiful I wish you both well . Nate

Does anyone here know how long you should be working at a company before you would feel safe about filing the Affidavit of support form ? Or is there a length of time you need tobe at the company before you can file it. I just recieved the noa-2 not long ago . and will start a new job soon . I know i need 3 pay check stubs for proof to the embassy. That i can afford my new bride. The job i have is a low paying job but it will be over the poverty guidelines. Can I get some feedback from my fellow visa journey members. Thank you john and kirsteen

No this is not my first job. Ive been working stedy all my life and have been making a fair to above pay all my life . I just dont know how the interviewer will look at it being that i just started the job. Last years income was in the 50,000 dollar range.

Very well said thank you for saying what is needed top be said

I hope members can remember the Philippine Forum is a Regional Discussion Forum, not an Off Topic Forum. have some fun ok, but hopefully members can refrain from attacking and making inappropriate comments about other members. we all have the same goal, being together with our SO's. wishing a happy and successful visa journey to everyone.

If they could how did they pay that price???

I am not sure how many immigrants could afford that price ....just sayin

Here is one you tube video that was told to me by my friend mitz she is the woman that showed me and nilda to each other she is in this video too this is in Taiwan 07 this is a dance contest between Philippines women that are oversea workers around Nov/Dec 07 she was working hard at this this is why she could not be with us at the time enjoy I sure did

Hope your asawa get's her permit soon too as i would like to know how long it will take as when my asawa comes to Michigan when her K1 visa is done I wish you all the best as i will soon will have to deal with this too hang in there as it's can't be any harder than going though the us gov . Nate

So... we go to the Secretary of State's office last night to apply for a temporary instructor's permit (its required before you can take a drivers training class). We have my fiancee's SS card and passport/visa/I-94 with us but we still have to "prove Michigan residency" by providing a bank statement, utility or credit card bill (2 items required). We are not married yet so of course we have nothing in her name yet. Wouldn't let her take the written test simply to get the learners permit.

What a pain!

So which papers should i file with the K1 visa papers and should will need a copy for her interview when that day come? just would like to know as our annulment is almost done and will like to know so she can mail me the right papers to sent with the I 129F thanks Nate

So what should we do to get this done and how long will it take? what kind of problems? NateShe has to get police clearance from any country she'd spent more than 6 months in since the age of 16.

Sounds like you guys may have problem.

Thanks Kathryn very much as she was worried about that and should she add how long she used it? and why too? Nate

She needs to list all of the names she has used or gone by. They will be required for security checks

My Future Asawa Nilda had another name when she was a OWC worker in Taiwan she even had a Philippines passport that had that name and she used it for work there but now we are getting married now would this be a problem with filing the papers next month and what should i tell her to do as she has the I-129F papers there and needs to know what to put on the papers before she mail it back to me.Nate

Hello members of the wonderful forum first I want to say thank you for your advice as for the time limit on filling for the K1 visa your advice was very helpful even if i was showed how new i was to this hopefully this will be my first and last time as i have we found each other at last and our love is strong even with us going though a annulment before we can even start the K1 visa will be done this month and the papers will be done in September or October 09 just on time and within the 2 years that i was told within the forum will be coming back for help i promise that and thank you. Nate & Nilda

Well that is great ideal as all know when there is love for each other with God anything is possible and i am working hard not only to suport the love of my life and our kids but to make sure that forms that are needed are filed on time as i have a few months left to get it done but it will be done. Nate

thanks you for all your help here as i am sure i will be back here for more info thanks Nate

I want to know if i file for my k1 visa form(130) will i get more time than the 2 years since we first met as my future asawa was married in Philippines when we met in Nov 07 and the annulment will be done next month at last since i could not file until her annulment was done. what i want to know if there a form i can use to get more time while the K1 visa is being done. Nate

what if you have file the within the 2 years will it be ok as i will file this September she has the k130 forms now and will mail the forms when the annulment is done in a few weeks.

-------------------

K1 fiance visa is the 129f form not the 130, and it's requirements are simple and set out plainly.

You MUST meet in person during the past 2 years to file the 129f. Either file the 129f before Nov 09 or go visit her.

Exceptions would be if your social or religious customs conflict with that. Financial hardship does not exempt you from the meeting requirement.

Extreme hardship would be, for instance, if you had a medical condition that prevents you from traveling to a meeting place.

I suggest you read the k1 visa guide here on visajourney until you are very familiar with it.

Filing the 129f properly really is straightforward and simple so long as you follow the checklist and answer all questions carefully and assemble the packet step by step..

There are plenty of people here on visajourney willing to help if you get stuck or confused but take the time to read the guide first.

Good luck.

S.

well i did posted the wrong form but my asawa has both the I-129 and the I-130 froms as i sent them in a box and the plan is to file in Sept of this year thank you very much as your help is very much helpful thank you

Nate

Nate - it sounds like you've got some research/learning to do ahead of you. You're quoting forms that have nothing to do with a K-1 (the I-130) for starters. And secondly - as stated above - you're not going to get 'more time' to meet qualifications.

Start Here

yes i will have some learning to do as this is the first time for me and yes i have everything else including pictures of us (with family) and picture with just us plane ticket and hotel,e-mail and phone texts, letters and proof that i have been supporting her as well . she has the k129 papers as i sent it in a box to her she got it a few months ago. Nate

I don't quite understand how you get the form numbers incorrect?

Especially as you claim you sent her a "K129"!

If it's a I-129F she doesn't need it. You are the one that signs it and submits it.

Get working on reading the guides.
