Hi, I am from Laguna and my husband to be is from CT. We are still praying for the right way

in applying for visa. We would like a visa that can bring me faster in the USA and be together

as lawfully wedded couple.

We thought first for K-1, but we also consider K-3 because we can marry here and it will give

respect for my family, but K-1 seems have priority over K-3 since K-3 have lesser applicants.

I hope you don't me asking for advice. God bless you!

Welcome to VJ. :star:

If you want to get married in Pinas, maybe you should check out a CR1 visa.

San Francisco is a wonderful city to live in or to visit. My wife and I enjoyed our visit to San Francisco last year. There are many Pinoy in the Bay area and you can eat at Jollibee and Chow King. My wife is craving Chicken Joy from Jollibee and Sio Mai from Chow King.

I was born in the States. My father was born and raised in Ilocos Sur. I married my longtime friend and classmate. She is from Baguio.

So for about eight years, I considered Baguio my home. Baguio is a beautiful and serene place. I sure miss the people, the culture and the food!

Hello all! Been awhile since I got myself back here VJ..I'm back! :)

I grew up in Leyte, but transferred Negros Occidental when I was 14. My mother is from Leyte and my father is from Negros, so I actually go back and forth :) I've got happy and wonderful memories in those two places. I loved them equally.

I live in Snohomish, Washington with my loving, sweet and fun hubby. He grew up and stayed here since birth. He loves Washington obviously and am loving it too!

hey,I'm from Leyte,too ..
