Hi all, im new to this site and I will be flying to meet my (hopefully) fiancée in hongkong in three weeks, and we are both excited.

My 1st question is, what are the important things that I should do? Other than pics, plane tickets or hotel voucher.

I really have no idea where to start other than saving the trip information

whenever possible, include her name in docs, ex. hotel reservation...take pictures not just of the two of you but her firends and co-workers as well...take note too of the occasions and places where pics were taken.

make sure non of your pics will look like a wedding ceremony/rite, no matter how playful or innocent to you...remember the ssumption of a fiance/e is you're not married yet to each other... a lot of visa applications have been denied because of this.

later on, you can start printing emails to each other...and photocopying these, letters, and pics for the application.

thank you for all your info....it's appreciated. I am concerned that my fiance is working and we will meet in Hong Kong. She is from the Philippines thoe.

I've heard that I need to have photos with her family, They are in the Philippines.

do you know if this will be a problem, if i only meet her in Hong Kong?

do you have any advice or could you point me in a good direction

A good place to begin is the Guides:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=guides

and welcome aboard!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Hello and welcome to vj :star:

3561055465_7e32541543_m.jpg3561659436_e8b5cc66fc_m.jpg

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.
