What is the most common country represented here?

[slowlyman 118]

While I'm killing time waiting for CSC to approve our 129 I;ve been wondering................. What is the most common country for beneficiaries represented here on VJ? There are so many statistical types on the site. Surely somebody has a graph or spread sheet.

My guess is the Philippines.

looking at PI portal, there are 12,133 members http://www.visajourney.com/portals/memberlist.php?country=Philippines

The more interesting question would be what the most common country would be if you didn't count K-1s.

[Darnell 8,478]

from member counts, I think it's the PI.

I could, of course, be wrong.

To answer the question of the thread, it's Cambodia

I wonder why there are more filers from PI then any other country.

What do you base that on?

You can choose other types, also.

It looks like PI by a large margin. Interesting.

Many many reasons.

First its a poor country.

The country has close ties to the USA, being a former colony and former location of military bases.

The country has had a policy of encouraging Filipinos to move abroad and make money to send back.

They teach English from a young age.

Many of their men follow the machismo culture of having wanting more than one woman, which some women won't accept so they look abroad where men are viewed as more faithful.

They like the look of Filipino babies crossed with other races.

Many view Filipinas as holding to more conservative values that have been abandoned in the western world. Personally I'm not so sure this is true, to a degree it is, but in many ways it's also not true. And your results will highly vary depending on the individual. But the stereotype is still highly presented and believed by the public at large.

And last but not least, they have a lot of single pretty women.

I didn;t realize English is a 2nd language over there. That would be a big help. The pretty woman I knew about. But that can be said of all asian countries.

I don't know who started calling the Philippines "PI" (Philippine Islands) but that is a really outlandish abbreviation, no pun intended. I'd understand "RP" for Republic of the Philippines (although RP may somehow refer to Portugal) and also "PH" because that's the official country code per ISO that's being used in our passports.

I appreciate that you choose your words very carefully, Cary. Also, we are more likely referred to as a former territory of the United States and not exactly a colony. But we were once a colony of Spain.
