My wife passed her interview last friday, they only asked a few general questions and looked at the wedding pictures. They were very nice to her. She went for her physical on Monday and because of the holiday she couldn't take until Tuesday. Thew will send her visa to Cebu when and if the results are ok. The will forward the results on Tue the 7th.

Question 1: Anyone know how long it will take for them to send the visa if her physical is ok?

I am working in Dubai and done tomorrow I will fly to the Philippines and escort her home.

Question 2: When she gets her visa sent to her and does her CFO is she free to go immediately?

Question 3: Does anyone know the cheapest cities to fly one way to in the states?

Thanks in advance to everyone here....Ours wasn't the fasted visa but the advice here has been strong and by crossing all the t's and dotting the i's everything went the way it is suppose to. It would have been a lot harder journey without everyones support.

Thank you very much

Well I can attempt to answer Question 3 as I am looking into this myself but is a bit different I think. I am getting 1 way from where I am into Davao (this is after she gets a CR1 or K-3 visa first... not sure which is faster at this point) then we fly to Korea to get her in-processed into the military system so I can cover her in all the medical and other bullcrap, so that's a 1 way for 2 ppl from Davao to korea, then after we're done there its 1 way, 2 people from Korea to U.S. ... total costs was estimated about $2500-3500 for flights + cab + hotels using Continental, Cebu Pacific Air, and Korean Air. As for your situation... I roughly estimated $1089 one way, 2 people (you and wife) from Korea to U.S. so that's not too bad I guess. Just check out Orbits, CheapOAir, and Cebu Pacific Air for good rates :)

first, congratulations!

1. if she passed the medical, it would take 2-3 weeks (since she's in cebu).

2. yes, as soon as she gets her cfo sticker and cert, she's ok to fly

3. there are more cheaper one-way tickets from the Phils to the eastcoast, CA especially. PAL always has flight sales online. and then you can check out domestic flights. some have as low as $39 one way (like jetblue) depends on where your final destination is.
