The Philippines was easy for me. This forum is the greatest resource to follow. If you follow the guides you should have no problem

Is it true the phillipines is one of the hardest country's to get the k1 visa approved in? I love my girl so much but sometimes I'm discouraged by the k1 visa. I know there is high fraud there.

Processing through the Philippines is a game of hurry up and wait along with having complete and truthful documents.

How can the process in the Philippines be accomplished smoothly you ask. There have been some good suggestions from others here and I can offer a step by step guide for every step of the way for all things that must be accomplished for USEM. Though the guides here in VJ are well intended they are general in nature but useless for the added steps needed for PI. My guide covers the "gotchas" that are PI specific and all documents needed to successfully complete the K1 visa.

The guide is located below in my sinatra box at the twisting arrow.

Come back to this forum for any questions you may have.

NOPE! Totally not true. In fact it is an easy process at USEM as long as your relationship is genuine. The Philippines is listed as a high fraud country but as long as you acquire the required documents through the official outlets there will be no issues.

You can have everything done in 8-9 months ... ready to fly.

Do you think USEM will be under more scrutiny for K1 processing since the San Bernardino incident?

I always wondered how much if any verification of provided information there is. I know that no men in black coats came around to check on any of the info that was on our 395.

That is a possibility, but my thinking the bigger scrutiny is if you claim to be Muslim or your background check comes back with suspicious activity. Probably the region where you come from is more scrutinized as well. For me, the longest wait was at the service center.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.
Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
