some reasons why

[loggingoof 0]

Sorry to hear this abspears.

Why they are so strict sa K3 or 1-30 filers?...

I just dont understand why (no offense to all K-1 filers) they are giving out visas as if its a free taste to people who haven't had any strong bond, like marriage. We, married ones should have at least a little more amount respect in our cases since we are definitely sure that we would want to be with our spouses forever. It just so nerve racking that we have to get through this process where in fact we just want to be with our partners.

I hope you'll get no more bumps abspears.

Godbless!

It's all good, i do understand them they are just doing their job. Nakakasama lang ng loob na sabihan ka nila ng LIAR but the fact they are the ones that always lie to the petitioners.

The CO even asked me why married a USC and not a Filipino. Kaloka!

haizt.. I'm really praying so so hard that they may not be as cruel as like this to me by the time I'll have my interview.

Anyhow, Good luck for your journey. The best things are yet to come.

I wonder how those with arranged marriages deal with this?

[sunandmoon 450]

As for my experience and to applicants i've talked their reasons why they were also sent to FPU are the FF:

Applicant's #1: She was under K-1 visa. The petitioner is her parents friend in the US. She and the petitioner haven't meet in person yet.

Applicant's #2: K-1 also. Met through a friend, met in person but was questioned due to the lack of endearment's word on the cards and letters.

Applicant's #3: K-3. Due to her husband's 4-5 times divorced and big age gap.

Applicant's #4: K-3. Met through relatives and big age gap also.

Applicant's #5: K-3. Met through relatives

I know i have my own mess to fix but i just want my co-vj's to be ready and know some reasons why me and other applicants were sent to FPU. My intention is not to scare nor make you worry because every case are different, i just only want to give some info's because i know how it feels like to be sent to FPU.

Good luck to all of us and God Bless!!!!

I do not think it should be assumed they are arranged marriages. as for the examples given, these situations probably do not apply to the majority of applicants.

applicant #1 . it's a requirement of the Fiance Visa to have met in the prior two years of filing the 129-f. it's not mentioned if a waiver was obtained to this requirement. they are very hard to get...

applicant #2 there is no mention of what evidence of ongoing and genuine relationship was submitted.

applicant #3 this situation would probably come under more scrutiny. there is no mention of what evidence of ongoing and genuine relationship was submitted.

applicants # 4 & 5. It can take many years to petition a relative from the Philippines. Manila is a high fraud Embassy. a situation like this could come under more scrutiny. again, there is no mention of what evidence of ongoing and genuine relationship was submitted.

anyone in these situations should make sure to submit plenty of evidence of ongoing and genuine relationship.

abspears, hopefully your situation will be resolved and you'll have a lifetime of happiness together with your husband.....

I was referring to situations in some countries where a marriage is a business contract between parents. That probably doesn't happen too often in the Philippines, but I wonder how the immigration process deals with it when it does. Just out of pure curiosity.

guess it depends on whether it's the cultural norm in a country. I don't think it's a cultural norm in the Philippines.

In the situations mentioned, I was guessing it being introduced thru a relative, not necessarily an arranged marriage. maybe a google search can find an answer to your question.

Claudeth is much younger than me and I have been divorced three times so I always thought we might have problems. I followed the guide here on VJ and supplied as much documentation as possible for each step of the way and the only delay we had was when bone-headed me used the incorrect form for lifting conditions.

I always kept things like cards and letters, hotel receipts, boarding passes, etc and Claudeth always kept all my letters and cards too so we always had plenty of detailed documentation. It is too bad that people come here after the fact and don't know some of the requirements for filing for the visa so didn't keep their documentation.

Claudeth and I both wish everyone the best of luck and hang in there. After all the years of searching I have finally found my soulmate and every day I love her more than the day before. It seems that almost every night we talk ourselves to sleep and wake up in the morning all cuddled together. I wish everyone could have this experience so follow the guide here and pray to God that you will be together soon. Good luck everyone
