Bring my lady to America

[Impatient Cupcake 10]

Since she lost her job, she tells me she needs about $600 for a business certificate.

Thank you all for your help here. I am very excited to see my (hopefully) future wife.

Joe

did she tell you what this business is that needs 600 bucks?

ps: run for your life.

I just stumbled upon this forum. I wish I knew it existed earlier. I am so fearful of being taken for a scam.

I think I have been careful and have done everything right, spent some time with the wonderful lady I met online in the Philippines. Of course, she was just laid off and needed financial help if we were to have her come to visit me in America (Virginia). So I jumped in to taking the leap of faith with the known risk.

Long story short now. I had hre scan the recent documents so I had something to verify. I got her new NBI certificate, Manila police clearance, passport, and medical certificate. She is now staying with her parents in Manila and about to put in her application for a tourist visa. Since she lost her job, she tells me she needs about $600 for a business certificate. The plan is she and her mother would set up a little side business proving she has a job at home. With this in hand finally, we expect the application to be processed and schedule an interview.

Does this pattern seem correct to you? What else should I be looking for? Is there a link that has a know true copy of the above mentioned documents that I can compare to? Oh, she also says she needs $2900 in a bank account to show during the interview for the ticket purchase, etc.

I would not pay money, ever. Look at Asian Promise site, they also warn not to give money. I would be careful.

Appying for tourist visit to bring fianance here is also fraud.

this whoever it is (and all the proof you mentioned can be faked or stolen) is a fake.

these fees she mentions are way out of line for a poor country . Look at the list of fees in USCIS site.

Her financial state during the interview has NOTHING to do with an approval, its your financial position, you need to show you can provide for a foreign spouse, and for someone to out right ask for that kind of money is damn right out of order!!! SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Adil & Jeanne 296]

I bet first questions she asked is what do you do for a job. Even when i told scammers i was not rich and had no money, they called me a liar and said they knew I had money. I was bad as I would not help them 1) buy a computer and internet so they could talk all the time to me. 2) buy a cell phone for them so they could call me. 3) hlep them as I was the only one who cared about them. Same stories, same request. money, computers. cell phones, watches, sex.

Give it up and move on.

If you send any money, they will ask for more till you say you don't have any to send.

i am from the philippines, i dont own any sort of business but im pretty sure business permits dont cost 600 dollars (unless maybe a super huge one but i doubt) so the woman was obviously just trying to get money. i have a friend who lives in US, he is also a filipino. met some girl from facebook, same story happened. she was never able to turn her cam on though because the pictures she posted on her facebook wasnt her

for a tourist visa, the opposite is true.

[Darnell 8,479]

JoeR -

sorry, what you've described in post #1 - that's usually how it's NOT done, to marry with someone in the PI.

FWIW, is difficult for female under age 50 to get tourist visa to come to USA.

Usually, USCitizen go to PI first, meet up in PI. Suggest you do that, nowish, if you feel true love for her.

Joe get out while you can I agree with everyone else you are being taken and this is so a SCAM I knew a man in UK same thing happened to him but he stupidly gave money and never saw it or her again mmmm Don't go there man

[Casprd 167]

Bottom line is if they ask for money, especially early in the relationship then it is a scam. If they suddenly have a sick relative, loose their job, have some government fees/fine, need a computer to talk to you or want you to send them money to buy an airplane ticket then it is a scam. This one has SCAM written all over it in big red letters.

Update: Advise taken. Also checked a little deeper. Yep, a fraud. Oh, by the way her name is Emerald Guzman.

[Eric-Pris 1,607]

Those aren't her documents. Do you really think a scammer would send you their real identity? They are photoshopped or simply stolen. But most likely shopped.
