Hello all and welcome to the new additions!

The more I read about people who got married in the US THEN filed the paperwork, the more I think that's what we should've done...especially with how slow VSC is moving now! From what I've read from other VJers, it is not fraud if it's an honest and true loving relationship. My finacé kept on telling me that it would be better that way (non-K1 way), but I kept saying "I'm not about to move to the States and become an 'illegal alien'!!!" I can be soooo hard headed!

oh well too late now! Any one else have or had that debate?

I never even considered it as I knew it would be fraud to intentionally enter the US on the VWP for the purpose of getting married, staying and adjusting status. I just didn't want to risk it. I'm happy knowing I've done it the legal and proper way even though it's costing us an arm and a leg!

Anyways, the timing is ok for us. Tom isn't even back in the US yet and we still have to buy a house and get it ready before I move out there.

Be gratefull you didn't AOS from visitor status. Even if there was a 1% chance of getting caught, you'd be barred for 10 years (if not life) for committing fraud. This is an unfair policy, I know. At least in Canada, your Fiance can stay with you as long as they like while their Fiance visa is processed. They just can't work here. I hope Obama changes these archaic rules...

What a wacky system! They are literally processing July through to November all at the same time (with some poor folks stuck in April)!!

I know about the ban, hence why I didn't think of and want to adjust under the VWP.

I don't think it's an unfair system, I understand that the US needs to know who they are letting into the country (especially in this day and age). Granted there will always be someone who enters with out intent, and gets married on a whim and stays and maybe for very good reasons. I don't mind waiting out the process. Not much I can do really when Tom doesn't even live in the US at the moment!

Yes its a wacky system alright, but since adjudicators process a box of 50+/- at a time, I can picture a box jumping the queue a bit on occasion. To me, as long as things are moving again - I'm happy

Yeah it is just for the Phillipines. I think it's a class on how to stay safe and how to act if you have an abuse husband etc.

Ah, I confused it with CFO, or is that completely different altogether?

CFO is the seminar filipinos are required to attend before they can fly out of the country.....i already have attended that seminar before i left for my training to the usa i don't think it is really needed but they require everybody. For those going thru K1 or K3 they give another kind of seminar about getting married to foreigners and i heard they show videos on wives who are abused by husbands. For me i think it is a waste of time attending it but i guess it depends on the person. I am educated already and not stupid for those things to happen to me. Since there are a lot of people who go to different countries like overseas contract workers they try to educate them with the change of lifestyle etc. and you have to pay a fee to attend those seminars.
