Huh?

As I stated in my first post on this, he only needs a waiver.

I know of others that have completed 3 or MORE ...

Maybe we are misunderstanding you, because it clearly states that anymore than 2 K-1s in a ten year period or a second in less than 2 years require a waiver.

* you must have meant 3 limit total and can never do it again perpetuation.....yea that's not true. Sorry if that's what you meant.

He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by making an application for a waiver. I am sure he will not be the only one who has ever been this situation (girl cheats on sponsor) that he find himself in now. I think he has a favorable case for waiver as the second visa was never acted upon by his then fiancé.

Where is this "ten year period" coming from? No such time period is mentioned in the INA.

2)(A) Subject to subparagraphs (B) and ©, a consular officer

may not approve a petition under paragraph (1) unless the officer has

verified that--

petition, petitioned under paragraph (1) with respect to two or

more applying aliens;

There isn't a stated "drop dead" limitation, one only need get a waiver ... as I stated at the beginning.

filed under such section, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall

petition about the number of previously approved fiance(e) or spousal

Ok, that wasn't for a waiver sorry on that part....just says they will notify both parties about previous petitions.

Just my own opinion but I think you need to move slowly. Hopping on the wagon this soon may make USCIS think you are not thinking clearing or making a business of this.

As others have said, develop a lasting relationship this time... go there and meet her family... spend at least a month with her... keep constant communication either by chat, skype, or even emails or snail mail... since you have two years until you can file for another K1, use the time to get to know her more... if it is a serious commitment and you feel that she is really "the one," the relationship should be nurtured and you shouldn't rush. I met my fiancee on Friendster in 2008 and I filed my K1 in February 2014... up to that point I have met her 3 times and have developed a long and lasting relationship with her kids and her family. Before she even got here last November almost all my friends knew of her and even before we got married in January this year, it feels as if we have known each other forever and have developed a long and lasting commitment to each other. I can't speak for other countries but that is what you get with majority of women from the Philippines.

Use the time to get to know her more. The more you know each other, the less likely either of you will be tempted to "fool around." If two years is too long for you to wait, I am sure you can marry her there and file for CR-1 instead.

In any case, good luck and I hope you have better luck this time around!

Doesn't have to wait two years to file.

Hi:

So sorry...at least you found out before. True love awaits. Glad you're taking the high road and not giving up or retaliating. God bless.

[pdking5000 56]

As someone mentioned earlier, you are too focused on finding a wife, as if it is something to be selected and purchased at a car lot. The good thing is that you love the Phillipines, meaning you wouldn't mind living there for an extended period, right? Why don't you find a city in the Phillipines you like and just live like a local, meet the locals, develop real friendships and see what goes from there. Maybe you will find someone genuine by being immersed in the culture as opposed to swooping in for short periods and leaving. Stay away from the dating sites because in your case it is a means for someone to defraud you unfortunately, as I suspect you have a good heart which makes it easy for manipulative people to take advantage of you...anyway, I am rambling. Just be careful. Try something different. Good luck, and sorry about what happened.

[subwayguy 100]

I agree with pkding. unfortunately, there are women out there phishing for somebody like you. Whilst you have a deep passion for that country, a lot of people are sick of living in the extreme poverty and limited social mobility, so marrying somebody from a rich country or even to obtain a visa to a developed country is their fast pass to a better life.

You just don't marry somebody you met few times from cross the ocean , who might be much much younger and poorer than you and expect a fairytale (it might happen, but would you rather bet on it?)

You said you are looking for love, but with all your concerns, it sound to me, that you are shopping for a wife who won't run away.

This is a not true. Nobody contacts the beneficiary and notify them.

I know of one cool and very attractive guy from Texas who has at least three K1 approval for girls from Philppines............

Yes... you are one of those I was referring to, but it was up to you to speak up.
