Noone else has taken offense. Maybe that should be your first clue.

Thanks so much for the scathing response. If your hubby and you worked together, great, this post was NOT aimed at you. It is aimed at those who are too lazy, and leave their beneficiary hanging at the most critical parts of the process.
Seems to me, you replied to me in this same manner on another post some time back. If a post does not apply to you or your hubby, you have every right to ignore said post, rather than take unnecessary offense and flame the OP for forming opinions based on what has been observed by others.
I have put things in the proper perspective. I have never stated that ALL kano petioners are lazy, only some. And did not say that ALL Filipinas are incapable of filling out the forms.
As for my wife, she has been a tremendous help. She has done everything that has been required from her, and had it to me before I even needed. Maybe you should take a lesson in judging others before you pass judgement of your own. Simple reminders do not make a person incapable.
Also, if you feel a need to defend someone who is not the target of a post, or feel offended when said post doesn't apply to your situation...I should think you might be the one with self esteem issues. Just saying.

Correct. Get married, and he can Adjust Status to LPR status. I would git'r done before his I-94 expires though. Get the paperwork started and in the works. His I-94 will be extended automatically while the AOS is pending.

Here's a little tip for you. 2-hole punch the tops of all your paperwork. When you assemble it, use the metal binder clips for 2-hole folders. They work awesome, and makes it easier to keep everything together. Plus, it looks more professional...just my 2 cents worth.

There should be no problem whatsoever. The Embassy doesn't track foreign marriages. What he went to get was his legal capacity to marry, which basically affirms he is not already married. As long as they didn't marry, the worst case would be he wasted the 30 dollars for the affidavit. No problem! Since there is no marriage on file with the NSO all is good.

"If you had tickets to a sports event, concert, Disneyland, or for an airline flight, and when you got to your assigned seat you found someone else was in that seat, what would you do? You would call for a person in charge of ticket checking and have the person in your seat removed. You would properly be asked to show your ticket, and you would gladly and proudly do so, for you have bought and paid for that seat. The person in your seat would also be asked for a ticket, which they would not be able to produce. They would be called "gate crashers" and they would properly be removed.
Now in this huge stadium called the USA we have had millions of gate crashers. We have been asking security to check for tickets and remove the gate crashers. We have been asking security to have better controls in checking at the door. We have asked security to lock the back doors.
Security has failed us. They are still looking the other way. They are afraid to ask to see the tickets. Many people say there is unlimited seating, and whether there is or not, no one should be allowed in for free while the rest of us pay full price!
In "section AZ", of "Stadium USA ", we have had enough of the failures of Security. We have decided to do our own ticket checking, and properly remove those who do not have tickets. Now it seems very strange to me that so many people in the other 49 "sections", and even many in our own "section" do not want tickets checked, or even to be asked to show their ticket! Even the head of Security is chastising us, while not doing his own job which he has sworn to do.
My own ticket has been bought and paid for, so I am proudly going to show it when asked to do so. I have a right to my seat, and I want the gate crashers to be asked to show their tickets too. The only reason that I can imagine anyone objecting to being asked for their ticket is that they are in favor of gate crashing, and all of the illegal activities that go with it, such as drug smuggling, gang wars, murder, human smuggling for profit, and many more illegal and inhumane acts that we are trying to prevent with our new legislation. Is that what I am hearing from all of the protestors such as Phoenix Mayor Gordon, US Rep. Grijalva, even President Obama? If you are not in favor of showing tickets, (proof of citizenship, passport, green card, or other legal document) when asked, as I would do proudly, then you must be condoning those illegal activities."

I think we need to look at the real circumstances when it comes to pulling out the race card. Arizona has a HUGE problem with illegals. Last I checked, there weren't too many Asians, or African-Americans running across the border. So, to say this law is racist is total BS. If Northern states were to adopt the law, would we have Caucasian Canadians being detained for being here illegally? Or if adopted by Florida, how many Hatians would be "targets"? I dare to bet that the mix of demographics will change from state to state based on where the illegals are coming from. Based on color? Possibly, but ONLY because of where said illegals are coming from. I support this law 100%.

My situation is different, but similar. My wife doesn't work. I chose it to be that way. I support her 100%, so in that regard it's different. My wife is not the eldest sibling, but is still the one her family looks to when they need money. She has a sister who has totally abused the hell out of her over the past year. Her sis wanted to open a clothing boutique, so asked my wife if she would be willing to foot the up front money for the store. After she and I discussed this at length, we decided to go ahead and help out. Well, long story sort-of-short, she and my wife agreed to a payment plan, so that within 6 months, my wife would no longer hold any part of the business. As of now, my sis-in-law owes my wife 20K PhP and has balked on a loan she took out with my mother-in-law. Who gets stuck with the bill? You guessed it...my wife. My mother and father-in-law are tailors, and have had a rough time. They owned a shop in Masbate, and due to crappy politics, lost their shop about 2 years ago. So, they have tried everything to make money for themselves. Right now, they make charcoal...We are looking at starting a piggery, to give them an added way to make money. But, to stay on point, my wife has held the burden every time her family needs monay. With her sister, I talked my wife into completely writing her sister off. Her sis now sends texts about her dying, and blah blah blah...but My wife has finally taken a stand. I'm proud of her. She still sends money to her mom and dad, but they do well with what she sends. Her elder brothers and another sister help out as well...but I think that because my wife is married to a kano, that is the primary reason for her being held responsible...

You can get her a visa if you live in Japan. Since you are in the military, you are considered domiciled in the States. Use your home of record as the address on your petition. I know plenty of folks who brought fiances to Japan/Okinawa, and such. Go onto the USCIS webpage, they have a special link for military members.
It may work out better for you to go to the PI and get married. When you get back to Oki, you can apply for a SOFA card for your then WIFE, and she will not require a visa to join you. She will be a dependent ID card carrying wife...At that point you can direct file her spouse visa paperwork at the US consulate on the mainland, which will allow her to enter the States when you come back, or to travel...just a thought.

I-134 isn't required until the interview. The only forms required to file K-1 petition are the I-129F and G-325a for you and your fiance, passport photos, supporting evidence that you have been together within the past 2 years, your letters of intent to marry, And of course the check for payment.
These all get mailed to the Service Center for the part of the country where you live, which looks like will be the California Service Center in Laguna Niguel.

Most important is showing proof that you have been together within the past 2 years. Visa stamps on your passport, and such. But as long as you have enough of the other "good stuff" 5 pics should suffice.
