Anyone travel back to get your fiance once approved

[Dylan&Douglas 0]

Hello everyone!

This is Douglas here...thanks for all of the recent congrats and well wishes on our approval and now today the arrival of Dylan's fiance visa packet...we are thrilled. My question is did any of you guys travel back to the Philippines and return with your fiance...if so how did you coordinate your travel. I already have an Idea of how I'm going to take care of it. Roundtrip ticket for me on Philippines Air Lines and get her the same flight coming back. San Francisco to Manila then back to SFO together. Then work our way back to Florida. This will not be happening until June anyway so we are actually still waiting..but we are so thankful for all the recent developments with the visa. It felt like forever from the time of the NOA1 until NOA2..but ever since the NOA2 it seems like a blur it went so fast!

Also we recently asked if she needed a round-trip ticket. Thanks for the responses on just needing a one-way for her. The reason to ask this was at one time or another I read ( don't think it was here..but another site ) the fiance needed round-trip and it was REQUIRED in case things went bad and she needed a way out. But I guess this was wrong or something that used to be required..because I know some of you Pinays are living here already and just had the one way ticket.

As always God bless and help all on this journey

I attended the interview with my wife as well. What you do is go to a local travel agent and tell them your flight itenerary and try to book a flight on that same flight as yours. Problem is if you wait too long you run the chance of your flight being fully booked so as soon as she gets her visa secure her flight. Also, since you will booking close to departure date don't expect a low price. Good deals disappear by that time. Good luck

When I went back to get Trisha I booked a round trip for me and a one way for her. I did that 2 days prior to me leaving. I also asked that our return flight be linked to each other since we would be traveling together. This is important since they then treat you as a group vs 2 individual travelrs. I brought my stuff over in a small suite case which went inside of a larger one that was empty and that is what we used for most of Trisha's belongings.

Douglas,

I recently flew over to attend the interview, CFO, and to fly back with my fiance. I found the best fare direct from Northwest Airlines. I opened two browsers and got my round-trip and her corresponding one-way set up, one in each browser, and then finalized the transactions.

Northwest has a flight from Manila to Detroit, with a stop in Nagoya, Japan. The Port of Entry in Detroit was fast and painless. We only had an hour and a half between arriving in Detroit and departing for Orlando, and made the connection easily.

The rates vary widely depending on the time of the week and how far in advance you can book. I paid about $1,400 for my round-trip, and $900 for her one-way. There are probably cheaper fares to be found, but I found it nice dealing with one airline the entire way. I broke the rule that says not to buy the fiance's ticket until the visa is in hand, because I was pretty confident that we had everything covered.

I am pleased to say that everything went smoothly, and we both arrived here in Florida last Sunday.

Good luck & ingats!
