K1 Requirements on the Filipinas end...?

[Kris & Liezl 3]

If you have been through this process with a fiance/spouse in/from the Philippines, would you please help me with something? I am looking for a GOOD list of the items she will need to gather on her end during this process...

I know she will need an Birth Certificate, a Passport and some extra Passport photos - but what else? I heard she may need some police records and college transcripts? It's so hard finding a comprehensive list of the things she needs to have at some point soon...

If you've been through this process, in the Philippines, would you please list the items you remember needing to have? Just a quick list, nothing fancy... If I just knew everything she needed, I could search online for some addresses or phone numbers so she can call and work on getting those things.

Pleeeeeease help me! I love this woman, and I don't want anything tying up our paperwork. I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Here is the guide. I followed it to the letter and my fiancee (now wife) is here now. No RFE's and no interview.

follow the links above as suggested. But one of the first things you will want to have her do is if she has left her country for more than 6 months since the age of 18, she will need police clearance from that country. Depending on which country it is will decide how long it will take to get. It took my fiancee 4 months to obtain the police cert. from lebanon. Study the manila embassy guides well, your checklist is there, Good luck. - joe

My wife is a pinay. She came here in August 2009. We now have her Green Card for her and son. Was your nobya previously married? Children? Otherwise the guides - links are good and you should have smooth sailing. If you're in Minnesota give us a call.

Best wishes

Wow August until now and she already has her Green Card? So that is pretty quick right?

Well no, my fiance is not previously married and has no children. The only problem I forsee is that she's been raising her little sister for the past 5 years. But she never legally adopted her... So now, that is what we're planning to do. My fiance will try to adopt her sister legally then we will begin our K1 process. But we just want to make sure we have everything needed during the process, so as to get it all right the first time.

Oh I'm not in Minnesota, I'm in Texas. So you took a filipina to Minnesota!! Wow... How is THAT going? I know my fiance is cold if the temperature goes below 70! Haha....

Thanks everyone, for the links!

Hello Texas - first your K1 fiance can't adopt her own sister because she is family. After you get married your wife can petition for her sister under an I-130 but it's a very long process. The subject of her sister should be in another forum here on VJ. How old is her sister? I suggest you be prepared to send her sister money until you can figure it all out. The timeline from marriage to conditional Green Card without any problems is running pretty much 3 months or so. We suffering from Cabin fever. Off topic but we went skating for the first time and my wife met another pinay at the rink. There are about 20,000 Filipino in Minnesota.

Good luck with everything

There's nothing unique for the initial K-1 process to the the Philippines in terms of evidence you need to gather. I'm moving this to the K-1 forum where you'll find similar threads and hopefully find some helpful info.
