Thanks for the info. She has been able to travel here because she already has a 10 year multiple entry tourist visa. So she's been able to come and spend time with me as our relationship has grown, which has been great. When she came this summer to visit for a month, she did get extra questions at the border and immigration also called me to corroborate. They wanted to know why we weren't just getting married and doing an AOS and we told them that we were trying to do every thing right. For her to enter on a tourist visa for the purpose of getting married would violate the tourist visa requirements and we told them that we were in the process of applying for a fiancee visa and wouldn't be getting married until that was approved. The immigration offical seemed very pleased that we understood the rules and policies and were following them to the letter.  With that, they let her enter with her daughter and we had a great month together during the summer. When she comes in December, she'll have all of the paperwork with her to provide the backup that we're following the proper process and I don't expect that they'll give her any trouble. It helps that she has businesses in the Philippines as well as other committments that help prove that she plans on returning. So we've continued to believe that if we do everything on the up and up and follow the process and rules that we won't have any issues, which so far has proven true.

Just like me and my fiance here. Just visiting him in U.S. and we want to do it the right way :) good luck to our journey

Hi Luchiniski and Raygina!

We're in the same boat!

I have so much anxiety, I can't get anything done. Every time my phone beeps I pray that it's my notices. I wish I could get some kind of information.

I know I have to wait and I'm not the only once going through this. But god! I think the person processing my application is SLOW. lol
