Hi everyone,

I have been dating someone from the Philippines and we have decided to marry. I have been studying the K-1 process and have a question that I can not seem to find an answer to. My question is with the K-1 Visa will she also need a passport to travel from the Philippines? Meaning will she need to file for a passport before we start the K-1?

Thanks,

Rob

Yes, she will absolutely need a Philippines passport. May as well go ahead and have her get it ASAP.

Yes, everybody needs a passport to travel overseas. However, your fiancee will only need the passport at the embassy interview stage. She can get a passport while the fiance visa petition is in progress.

In filing for the I-129f, what is important would be the petitioner's passport copy, where you would need the petitioner's passport info, and passport stamps as evidence that you have visited Philippines. Some couples who have traveled overseas show both to prove they have been together at the same time in the same country.

EVERYONE needs a passport to travel internationally.

No she does not need to have the passport for you to file the I-129F, but she should get started so she has the passport by the time the petition is approved.
