I just want to thank everyone for the all the help and patience in answering all myl K1 visa related questions. I finally made it to US arrived here at Ellsworth, Maine yesterday, not much Filipinos in here which is quite a challenge. But their neighborhood is wonderful.

I was the immigration counter really quick compared to the other girl with K1 visa as well. I guess I am just really lucky.

All are very nice. I am now exposed to a real and interesting American culture what do they usually eat, how to celebrate birthday and etc. I forgot to bring my tabo or dipper ugh.

My husband to be will be arriving soon. Yes I came here first before him because he is based in Japan right now Yay. His family is just wonderful and he will be arriving on the 5th.

This forum has helped so much and just one thing I learned don't mess up with legendary VJers or else you don't get what you asking for haha lol. I just wish everyone knows this forum it'll make their lives easier.

Please don't forget to read Hanks guide ;-)

Someone claims to have been in the Philippines numerous times, since 1986, yet they don't have a clue what a tabo is.... more than likely they haven't ever left they own backyard let alone traveled to the Phils.

Ok Hank I was trying to play nice,,but since you seem to want to contue down this path,,no problem,,I have been going to the PI for 25 yrs,,so dont be jealous,,

its not my fault you married a round ey and got screwed over in the divorce so you were forced to go online to find a wife,,,not my problem,,dont be angry

Why would I know what a tabo is?? I dont monitor ladies bathroom habits,,,or how they wash their pek pek.

OK.... I will touch on this one. My past wife died of cancer.

As for not having a clue after visiting the Phils for over 25 years.... unbelievable

Wow Hank your opening up to me/us,,thanks for that. I offer my condolences. My dad recently passed so I know what its like to loose a loved one.

So after your wife passed you decided you wanted to re marry but why did you seek out a Pinay? were you too old and chubby to have any game left to attract a suitable american woman.

Why troll the dating site looking for a prospect? once you found a prospective girfreind,,did you then book a ticket and go meet her and propse marriage?

no shame in this Hank,,its the way 90% of the folks on this board did it,,

but I'm still at a loss to see how this method is different than mine,,with me being called a sex tourist and all,,riddle me that?
