Mailed I-129F and associated documents on Friday, August 2nd. Our journey begins. We are a same sex couple. My fiancee is from the Philippines and I live in Massachusetts. We have been a couple for 2 1/2 years and I have been to the Philippines 3 times for 3 weeks each time to visit my fiancee. I am a new member to this site.

I'd be interested in the experiences of othe same sex couples as time unfolds.

Thanks and good luck to all.

I do not have any related advice specifically for you but just wanted to wish you and yours the best of luck on your journey!

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...

Welcome to VJ! There are few other same-sex couples that are filing now that DOMA is no more and they can. You can do a search in the upper right of the forums and find posts from others that also just recently filed. Good luck!

Hey Gents,

Congratulations, it's nice to see that other same-sex couples are beginning this process as well. We filed our I129F petition in early July, with an NOA1 date of July 10. Looks like we have many months of waiting ahead, but it's great finally to have a place in the line!

I suggest that you spend some time reviewing the Philippines portal on this site. In addition to all of the paperwork on the U.S. side, the Philippines apparently has an emigrant processing program that will be a requirement for your fiance, culminating in a "sticker" in his passport so he can leave the country. While this is routine for opposite-sex couples, my understanding is that the Philippines is not "gay-marriage friendly." Because you will be trailblazers in this process, you should probably be prepared for the emigration side of the equation as well, as a same-sex fiance officially emigrating to the U.S. will certainly be something new in that country.

Good luck with everything and keep us posted.
