I'm just wondering how most the people on here met their lovers initially...over the internet or in person? I ask because I wonder the number of couples the consulate deals with that met over the internet as oppossed to meeting in person initially. I met mine on a dating site and then we met in person. It makes me wonder at times if the consulate sees couples that meet online at first as more of a red flag than not. I don't see why they would, granted that I'd expect most of them met online.

Hi, I met my husband online(Filipinaheart), then we met in person. My husband married a Filipina before and on that time it was just by mail, before around 2002 it was not so hard to apply for visa she was not even interviewed, she become US Citizen and even petition her mother with the help of my husband but afterwards committed an adultery and more worst things she did.

I do not know the percentage, but mostly Filipina are just met online or by mail before. Some live happily ever after and some are not. Some Filipina were denied for K1 visa, my friend know someone who was denied because the Filipina is too young and her fiance was too old, the consulate who interviewed her degraded her personality because of the money she has been receiving from that American.

I think, it's not about how a couple meet each other (online or in person), but love that they share to each other.

Met my husband online almost 7 years ago. I NEVER intended to meet any Americans, but once we met in person, there was never any question that I would be moving to the U.S.!!!!

Every couple at our K-1 Visa interview had met online, and it did not become an issue for any of the couples at all.

There's been several polls conducted on this site on the very same topic if you want to search it.

We actually met in person at a camp over nine years ago, but the internet was definitely our main means of communication for the first three years.

[Amanda and Tony 0]

Tony and I met through a mutual friend 3 1/2 years ago. Our friend had organised a group of us to go and see the Bodies Exhibition. I was a little anxious at seeing dead bodies and I hid behind Tony the whole time!

Another internet couple here. Met on pokerstars.com over 4 years ago.

[midge and isi 8]

We met while I was studying abroad, we had 4 wonderful months together but now we are an online couple using Skype, Yahoo, Facebook to communicate. Can't wait for that to be over!

I decided, rather than go out with my friends, to stay home and play Team Fortress 2 online on my birthday.

I joined a friend's server as he told me some cool people played on it.

I was amazed that a girl was playing - I don't usually bother with online girls (as I'm always sure they get way too much attention as it is, and are probably sick of it) but I added her to my friends list and she accepted.

We got to talking.. and.. well, it's now nearly 2 years later and we're getting ready to apply for a K-1 so I can live over there.

The choices we make are strange, no?

[katie & sifa 25]

We met in person - I was living in Kenya while serving in the Peace Corps. We were together about 6 months before my service ended & I came back home...now 2 years later we are waiting for January when he has his interview to come on K1!

My husband and I met online on christiancafe.com. I really wanted to meet someone local or at least Canadian. Instead, I met my husband who happens to be an American. I am so glad I did.
