Timeline

OK folks. The time for us is growing near. I am going to see Emily for the first time in July. She currently lives in Dubai. When I come back from meeting her in Dubai, I want to file for the K1 ASAP. The problem is, Emily plans on moving back to the Philippines to spend some time with her family before making the big leap to the states and being processed out of there soon after I leave Dubai. I will want to file quickly to expedite this process. If I file BEFORE she moves back to the Philippines, will this pose a problem? Can I put on there that she will be processed out of the Phil even though at the time, she is still in Dubai? See any roadblocks? Thoughts?

When you fill out the I-129F (Part B, Line 20) you can declare which embassy she will be applying for the visa at. If I read you correctly, you mean to say she will be in the PI by then -- which will work out fine. Choose Manila.

Most people will tell you that you can file the I-129F petition with the USCIS and forget about it for a few months. So long as she is back in the PI in time to take care of her end of it, I see no problems.

Keep in mind that if she worked in Dubai (and anywhere else abroad) for six months or more she will have to secure a police clearance for the interview. May as well take care of that before she leaves.

And be sure that you will also put her PI address in the application form.

Good Luck!
