moving to cebu from seattle

[Seattle2Cebu 0]

Hopefully I can get a job teaching english in Cebu or Philippines. Im not going to have as much money as I would like. I am going to go stay there a year and beyond If I can.. If it works out, I will marry a girl that I chat with in October. I just have to wait and see on that.

I think you are taking a very high risk if you just go meet in person for a month or even twice and bring a girl to the usa on a fiance visa . just my opinion..

if you want to do it... go there and stay and marry there and take your time...

i hope you will really be with one woman when you live in our country because i had an american neighbor before and he kept on bringing so many girls in his house when his filipina wife is not around.

Good for you. Please teach my fellow Filipino students how to use punctuation marks and capitalization. I still have wobbly English.

You always take 'risk' no matter where you're, here in US or in Philippines or in Pluto. There is no guarantee that your marriage will last because you stay in Philippines for one decade to know your future wife, before you bring her over. Your marriage will last, only, if you treat your wife as yourself. If you don't then it will fail like your previous relationship(if you have any).

I'm certain that there are a lot of couples who are married 15 to 40 years have possibility to get divorced too. So, what are you afraid about? If it doesn't work then move on and find another one again and again or live with your options. Don't give up, if you do then you're a failure same as giving up your goals in life.

However, in my case, I look forward to see my husband with me every mornings here in US to Philippines.

You don't think moving to a foreign county is taking a risk, especially one that is known for terrorists

not all or course, but there is a good amount of the population in the phils that wants to come to the usa. Of course they do, for a lot of people the phils is a hard place to make much money. Its pretty much bs though when just about all the girls will say age doesnt matter and blah blah blah just to get a ticket to the usa, and the usa guys are exploiting the women as well. If I had my way, there would be no fiance visas at all. If you want to bring someone here, then go marry them and then file a marriage visa. I have seen and heard so many cases where this didnt work out for one reason or another.

I will say it again, if you meet someone online, go visit them and come back here and sign them up for a fiance

visa, and then wait for them here after only having spent a very brief time with them in real life, you are asking

for trouble. BIG TROUBLE

Good idea Cebu2Seattle. I wish I had done what you're doing my first time, might have saved a divorce, I didn't know my fiance well enough back then ('89). But I have stayed there twice now since then for extended periods of 8 months each and that is invaluable both to learning about the country and the girl you hope to marry. Problem is, if you aren't rich and can't easily stay there long enough. I quit work both times and consumed my 401K savings in order to stay, then had trouble finding work after going back here. Good luck getting work there, if you do, let me know so I can follow in your footsteps, I would LOVE to live there forever. I love the place (Visayas mostly) and the people. Avoid certain parts of Mindanao, but Cebu is safe. I'm just so thankful this time because I know I found the right one for me. Best wishes bro. Just my little advise here, try to follow/respect the customs/traditions as much as possible, respect them and they will treat you wonderfully, most of the time. Just learn to slow WAY down, be patient, you're running on Pilipino time there. I bet you will have the experience of a lifetime, let us know here how it goes.

Are you really sure he was an American? I say that because ALL white guys are called "Kano" or "Joe" diba? And mostly they are assumed to be American when in fact many times they are British, Australian, German, etc etc. And don't get me wrong, I'm not defending anyone anywhere either way, but Pinoy are the BEST examples of that kind of behavior.

It's very hard to find a job there ... a lot of people don't have jobs even those who have had a degree and came from big universities and as what you have said alot of people wants to get out from Philippines because of desperation to get a job not just here in US but in any country where they can get one.Its a good idea though that you wanna spend time with your 'GF' and you will really get to know each other.If you have enough money to support yourself while trying to get a job there then you'll be ok.I'm sure you can get a not so expensive apartment or even rent a house where you can stay. Goodluck to you and just be careful.

I am SO greatful that you don't have your way! I also really doubt that you have "seen and heard so many cases" that didn't work out. I personally have heard and read of a couple where the Filipina arrived here, and didn't like our culture, or found out the USC was a schlub. The K1 allowed her to get back home w/o any obligations, free and clear.

Imagine if she was already MARRIED upon her arrival here? Even if she were able to get back to the RP, she would be saddled with the stigma of a marriage that she could not in any way hope to unwind or free herself from!

I am blessed to have fallen in love before I ever met my fiance' in person. I didn't go there just to be "sure", or with the hope of "hope that we hit it off", etc. etc. The trip is required, of course, but I would have went anyway. I wanted to meet and thank her parents, see her village where she was raised, and get a taste of the culture. My time there was indeed much too short, but duties and obligations back home were waiting.

As to Cebu, I won't say that I hated it. However, I didn't much care for the congestion and business. Sounds strange for someome coming from the 5th largest city here, but it's true. However, I wouldn't hesitate to go again, and just stretch my legs a little more to broaden my horizons. I wish you well there in what you hope to do.

And, if you do succeed in meeting your own lovely lady, be sure to take her up to Mountain View Park.

you always come to this forum, something odd with you if i could only look up your previous posted you been telling stories over and over and yet you didn't do anything... What is this a " joke" for as Filipino's . If i remembered correctly sorry can't look up you previous post since i just replied you through my mobile I wanted to attach that here as proof but anyway First you brought your fiancee over here in states the she left you, then you were talking to a her cousin who doesnt speak english and now your talking to a new girl? Sorry but I already started to questions your integrity and loyalty...I not here to judge you or be rude but just started to think those people here who gave you sounds advise and taking time to reply but now I think im wasting my time too.
