Nowhere does he indicate she plans to take an on-board position to come visit him, in fact he states she is not working and wants to know if she can use this visa to come visit him, presumably while not working using other means of travel to the US than working on a ship. The last line in his statement simply describes how she obtained the c1 / d visa and what it was intended for by her employer.

She wants to visit

 

C/D is irrelevant.

Why not just go visit her in the Philippines? There are certainly worse places in the world (well ok, assuming you go beyond Manila).

Best of luck with all that...you might want to update your timeline.  Says K3 out of Juarez consulate?  An up-to-date timeline will help ensure you get the best, most relevant, advice.

That's because in June of this year he brought a wife here from Mexico. Now 6 months later he has a girlfriend in the Philippines. No wonder he's reluctant to do a K-1! His wife might not like the addition to the household.

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

Not sure what the visa category is for that.
