Procedure

[Tamakiz 0]

Hello everyone, I am brand new here. I was refered to the site by a friend of mine who went through this process already. My fiance' is from the Philippines and was previously married, and had one child with her husband. I have already initiated and received confirmation that the annulment to her marriage is complete. I am currently waiting for the actual paper confirmation stating her "cenomar" status. In the mean time I would like to have all the paperwork ready to send the instant it arrives. I have read the blogs and looked at sample forms. But I have to admit, I am a little nervous about making any mistakes. I have waited almost 3 years now for us to be together and I dont really want to unnecessarily extend that one more single day hehe. Would anyone here be willing to guide me through the process either via emails, IM's or through whatever process would be most comfortable for them. Also, which forms will i need to fill out, and will there be additional forms for her daugher (2 yrs old). I just want to be 100% prepared and with zero mistakes.

Thanks

Shawn

First check out the guides tab on the top of this page. Lots of good information in there.

Then, ask any questions you have after that.

You CAN do this successfully.

Good luck to you!

I'm on the record for airing my gripes with the system and I procrastinate as well since filling out forms isn't fun. Filing forms correctly isn't a guarantee of fast service and you may see couples mysteriously leaping ahead of you without reason but you should file as quickly and efficiently as possible so at least you're doing your part.

Jomo's girl is entirely correct. Click the tabs on top of the VJ website and may want to save the really useful stuff as add to "Favorites" so you don't have to hunt for it again and again or print it out. You should also check the U.S. Embassy in Manila website for further details.

PERTAINing to your daughter, list her name on form I-129F under part B, question #13 (unmarried children of your fiance(e) under the age of 21. No other form for your daughter. You need your

fiance(e) previously husband's name and when the marriage end as well, along with this, you need divorce certificate of your prior marriage or USCIS will not accept, or they'll ask you for it later(they'll ask this information on your fiance(e)'s country (see DS-156K) for more details.

As to which form to fill:

1. I-129F

2. G-325A Biographic (both you and your fiance(e), each has to file one application (4 pages

duplicate, better do it online)

3. I-134 (Affidavit of support)

And among other papers to complete your package... Good luck!!!
