need some advice on visits

[pnjandmtc1209 9]

I went to visit my wife she is in the Philippines.

When I visited I arrived 12 midnight Philippine time on NOV.9th 2012

I stayed 2 months with her and we were married Dec.9th 2012.

I left the Philippines midnight Jan.6th 2013.

I have only made that one visit to see her because im saving

for her interview trip to manila and for the fees that are about

to come my way. I have also helped support her every since

we have been married and don't have the money to make a

second trip for her interview. She is worried she may fail the

interview because I have only been there once.

Is this going to be a problem?

Nothing wrong gonna happen. Dont sweat it. There r so many cases like u. I m one among them. I wish u n ur wife all the best for interview. I think u have submitted enuf documents for bonafide marriage which wil speak on behalf of u both. honest answers are enuf for interview. It doesnot mean that u should visit ur wife multiple times. Its like a long distance relationship. Anyhow u r committed and having legitimate married status. so no fears. Go ahead n keep rocking.

Hello, to the two of you and congrats. I am a one time visitor, but saved all my EXSPENSES, YM, USPS RECEITS. My wife created a folder with everything needed for interview.

Did you know she needs to go to seminar, and get certificate on going America and what to expect? I mailed my I-130 and received my I-797 July 16, 2013.

By the way, go to LL Bean web site and look under radios and flashlites. They have solar/hand crank emergency ones, great to send to her for typhons. I sent 4 each for her parents and sisters. Send USPS, insured. UPS and FEDX cost 3 to 4 times their cost. But they have come in very useful twice already

What?.. Is this some Philippines-specific thing?

[poolbruce 22]

it is a counseling and guidance seminar but need that certificate because at Manila airport they will request it. I think it is Filipino thing just to take more money. I think the cost is $20 or $25 usd

That seminar is very educational according to my wife,It gives them an idea on what to expect when it comes the time that they will be joining us here in the state. Travel dos and donts, and just an overview of the things that they need if they will have some problem in the state.

This seminar is just for filipino lmmigrant its being handle by the Commision on Filipino Overseas or simply CFO seminar. You cant exit the country without this.
