Your Filipino Wife/Fiancée

It was my family and some friends that were doubtful. But, I could tell how sweet my wife was from the first chat.

In before the lock Charles!

Actually in my case...the family accepted her right away...

i really don't know what it was...maybe her wonderful personality or the things I told them about her...will never know

I guess... I consider myself lucky in that part....

I am too old and too jaded not to think about it. I already had a friend that married a Filipina, and have known others that went through the process. I knew enough going in not to ever do it myself, but when my bride "found" me, I let it happen, knowing what to expect, and I still let myself go through the process, although I did stop, and back out at one point, before I went to meet her in the Philippines. But, once I met her in person, I felt committed to the process, and here we are, a happy couple living together, and making it work.

Would I ever do this again? Looking back, probably not. The hardest part to deal with is the expectations on both parts, but once reality hits, and both partners accept each other for what they are, then things work out some how, some way.

First pinay I met online I went and stayed 2 weeks with in Cebu at the Plantation Bay Resort turned out to be a scammer. No problem tho as we partied and played for the 2 weeks. Had one of the best times I ever had in my life.

Next one even turned out even better!

We are still partying after 4 years!!

FYI! If I hadn't spend a couple weeks to get to know the first lady better I "may" have ended up doing the immigration process with her and who knows what would happen down the line.

You see a LOT of relationships going belly up after the pinay gets to the US because people not getting to know each other better in the first stages of the LDRs.

Any relationship can be and is full of trials. We can all relate to the trial of time and distance. Trust is a biggie for anyone traveling down the long distance relationship road.

Even with the trials of doughts or lack of trust. For me is not a issue of any kind. Have like other posters have been warned to keep a close eye out for scammers am sure coming form a story friends family have heard for past eperiances and storys heard from whatever sorce.

As for what I am attracted to or a better way of putting it completely hook on is my ladys kind heart or open friendly personality. Her values are for lack of a better phrase is old school. Not all wraped up in the love things generation. She loves life and family and frineds. She holds that way above a shinny neckless or new car. Am attracted to the dream of real true love. I love the caulture and the people she has invited me into, to be part of. In the world of the have and the have nots, the winners and loser in the financial rate race the keep up with the Jones crowd I am more than happy to be in the happy and in true love crowd. A simple lif with a loving lady is the best dream that could ever come ture for me.

Anna has never asked me for anything. She would never say "Hey I/we need this, can you send me some money".

In fact after I finally convinced her to let me send her a laptop we were told that we had to pay 12,000Php import tarriff. Of course I just wanted her to get the laptop so we could use magicjack & YM web cam easier so I Western Unioned her the money for the tarriff. I almost went crazy as she spent 3 days arguing with DHL to get the tarriff reduces to under 500Php! Then she was going to send me back the rest of the money!

Even today, after 7 months of marriage she doesn't ask for anything. Of course I always send enough so she has extra.

We had a situation were it looked like USCIS was going to have to deny my I-130 petitions for her and our son. We were sure that they'd never be able to come to the US. Not for a second did she even think about leaving me. We just started thinking about how we could work it for me to visit every year for a few years and finally move to PH to live out the rest of our lives together.

During all of this she always thinks about me and has been my strength when I had none.

I have no doubts that Anna is my heart. We are 2 halves of the same soul.

So what is it about her? Everything... Simply everything about her. What more can I say, how can I explain Love when there is no begining and no end?

Hey, I remember you now. You once posted here or your wife made a post here about your visa application. How are you now guys? Love is still the most powerful magic in the world.

Well if she used me like that i would just remove her head from her body....she knows this and we laugh about it.

Her's is more of a nervous laugh though.

2 weeks ago I received an envelope from USCIS, I was sure it was a NOID (Notice Of Intent to Deny) and I almost didn't bother to open it. It was the Approval Notice for my Petition for Anna! I lost my knees and cried, I'm not ashamed to admit.

Just today we received the NOA2 for our son Gabby!

We are on top of the world right now. Just hoping that processing times stay good so they'll be home before the end of the year.

You must have asked yourself once what if she might just use you to obtain a GC or get you to send her $$ but you still gave it a shot.

FAE

The answer is NO! Why, are you doubtful about your fiancee? Please answer your own question, bubba.

I am the Filipino fiancee and my American fiance is not doubtful of me. Oh well, I was just fishing compliments on behalf of my fellas.

Hi! Iam a Filipina fiancee. For the first few months, I knew that my fiancee somehow had doubt about me. Well, I guess that`s the thing that we cannot remove to our American fiance with all the news they are getting about scammers from other countries (not just Philippines of course!). I was not hurt because I knew if Iam in his position, I too will not trust anyone so easy. Actually, at first too, I did not trust him that much...sometimes I thought, what if he`s a serial killer...haha! But as we got along, talking everyday on phone or chat, sharing our thoughts and everyday stories, just continuous communication..all those doubts just faded away and replaced with trust, then love. I think long distance relationship is a process. It needs patience, time and trust. After 6 years of being in a LDR, i think there is no more `what if`s` in our relationship.

-->To all American guys, get to know your partners well, may she be an American lady or a foreigner so you won`t regret being in a relationship in the end. I think, it would be best to know your gfs in person first. Spend time with them and always try to be open about them. Tell them your doubts or worries but of course in a nice way...hehe.

---> To all Filipina ladies, well if our partners doubt us then it`s up to us to prove to them they are wrong. If we really love our partners, we should understand their feelings. If we have doubts about them, well we should tell them too. Be open-minded.

You must have asked yourself once what if she might just use you to obtain a GC or get you to send her $$$ but you still gave it a shot.

What's with her after all that you've become so fond of her and the process of bringing her to the States stirs excitement, frustration, and anticipation?
