Take you time, no rush, visit her a few more times, see if you can spend some serious time over there.

Yup. Just continue to visit her in the Philippines or other countries to which she is admissible as a tourist, such as Hong Kong.

 

After I met my wife for the first time on a visit to Colombia, I kept visiting her in Latin America for 8 years before marrying her. Take your time. It's not that important for her to visit you in USA.

Well, she will probably not come on a Tourist Visa. K1 just to get to know each other is not a good idea and you don't want to fly back and forth... Why not move to Philipines for a while and get to know her? Or just not pursue it at all.

Exactly. If OP went through a recent divorce and is not in a rush/nor want to jump to the next marriage wagon maybe it's better to move to Philippines for a while or meet in a third country (in case she does not get a tourist visa). 

OP, you do not want to start a relationship with any woman (Philippines or any other country) with the promise of getting (paying) her a student visa/college education/greencard. You want her to like/love you for who you are, and NOT for what you can do for her.

That’s not a bad idea. I will have to look into airfare on that comparisons. Then she would start establishing travel to and from her country

Plus, I found that I learned more about my wife-to-be as I visited her outside of her home country, away from her safety zone of friends and family.

We have spent over three months online and then I took two weeks there. She took the two weeks of and stayed with me at the hotel the whole time. Her sisters would check in with her by phone but all went way better than I thought it would. Thus I want to get together more. We still do WhatsApp every day and get along better than I remember with my wife in the early stages. I do like your idea though

I met a lady online from the Philippines. After a few months I went to visit her for two weeks and we enjoyed each other’s company. I just got divorced about three years ago and don’t want to jump into something to soon just to get her here to visit. She live with her sister and her husband and has a job but no money. Reading here it sounds like a visitor visa she would have no chance of getting. 😞 I would like to pay for her to come here to build the relationship and make sure she likes the area and I also plan on going back there in December. I would like to start process of getting her a permanent visa or green card but know that takes forever and I would like the relationship to grow in the meantime. Suggestions?

B1/B2 Visa for sure, paying for her to visit ?? Steady Eddie on buddy, the lady can visit for up to six months with the right paperwork and proof she will  other try to overstay.
