I have a gf in the Philippines and i am thinking how should we go on with the process, I really need your help since we are new in thie site.

Here is the story, I am currently working as a marine and my contract will end on the year 2009 but right now I am based in Okinawa Japan, I am staying here until July. Please enlighten me on this, I need to know the step to take. I really wanna be with her, where should I file the visa and what shall we do to do it? ... Your reply is much appreciated. Thanks in advance

I'm also a filipina, my fiance is an active duty in the US military and is right now in the middle east. When he was filing the petition he was based in yokosuka japan at that time. He was about to send the application to Hawaii or Guam (sorry i forgot) because he is an active duty who is outside the US. But you can also mail your application to the service center which your home address in the united states belongs to. Like if you live in Alaska your service center is Nebraska Service Center. We were planning to request for expedition of our visa process but we had little time because he was already going to the middle east. We just received our NOA2 two weeks ago. His parents are the ones receiving the mails from the USCIS since he is deployed. They tell when they get notices from the USCIS. Anyways that's all i can share. Good luck.

Welcome to VisaJourney! :thumbs:

As you've probably already found out this is the wrong forum for visa specific questions/help. You and your fiancee need to decide if you're going to use the fiancee visa process (K-1) or spousal visa process (K-3 or CR-1). There are guides at the top of the page that outline the differences and there's dedicated forums for each path. This site is *great* for learning about the process but it does take some reading to absorb and understand it. My wife is from the Philppines and we're currently in the middle of the K-3 spousal visa process. Have a look at the Guides and if you get stumped feel free to PM or Email me.

Married on 11/21/06 in her hometown city Tumauini located in the Isabela province (Republic of the Philippines)
