Welcome to VJ! Youa re going to meet the most amazing people here! My advice is get EVERYTHING in writing and please please keep all records of your relationship. Immigrating from Phillippines is one of the hardest countries to immigrate from so save everything that connect you with your wife. Every little tid bit of information you have that shows you have a valid relationship is important. Good luck on your journey! We are here with you!

Welcome to VJ I recommend you go to the Philippines forum. click on the Forums link in the upper left. Page down until you see the Philippines in the subforums link. Once you are in the Philippines forum click on the forums search link in the upper right. Type in co-sponsor make sure the box is check to 'Search this forum only?'. You should get 13 pages of matches. At least you can start researching and I am sure someone will offer you their experience too but if not start a new post in the Philippines forum. Good luck
