HI Everybody,.

Im Jeramie,. im a member of this forum for over a year already., and this forum really helped me with our visa journey.

me and my son were granted the k1/k2 visa last Feb.12,2007 . we flew to MN feb.16,2007, got married before i-94 expires.,

not all marriage life will turn out as a happy ending, and unfortunately, our marriage belongs to one of the sad stories,.. it didnt turn out good., we always argue, i miss my family, he's bipolar, has business,. it means, all stress and problems are there..i wasnt that strong for him, and . to make it short, me and my son went back to philippines Aug.3, 2007., without advance parole , we started the AOS but cancelled it anyway..

2months after we got home, my husband visited the philippines for 3 weeks, then he already booked a flight for december -march vacation., he'll be spending 4 months with us, ...

Now, we want to start the cr1/cr2 immigrant visa., but we dont have any idea on how to start, i dont even know whats in a i-130 package., the exact documents needed.,

i really hope you can help me with my situation here... will there be a chance for us if we apply for a tourist visa while starting the cr1/cr2?

well, 2 months being separated, really helped us to realize lots of things (absence makes the heart grow fonder).. im not saying that we'll not gonna argue again, but now we realized if we both will not make this work out, then we'll not gonna be together anymore, and we are so determined to make this work out, and the spark is still there, its just that the adjustment period was really tough and we were not that strong to stand for each other, but LOVE IS SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND ..hehhee..

oh well, back to my real issues,.i really hope that someone can enlighten us with our problems, i would really appreciate any help on this...

thank u so much. and GOdbless..

You can get a sample forms from this site for u to see the I-130 form. My husband submit our marriage certificate and license first from LCR. Thats it. The rest is just after the approval. :) I dont have the idea about that tourist visa. I guess its hard for them to grant it. lol :)

Your husband needs to obtain your marriage certificate from your local county/ city registry. Have your husband register your marriage certificate from MN to the nearest Philippine Embassy. It has to be authenticated by them here in the US. Once authenticated, he must send this document to you so u can register your marriage at NSO.

The only picture you need to submit is the 2x2 pics, any other photos such as weddings, etc will be needed at the time of the interview.

Waiting again for that day to come again must be hard for both of you. Sounds like you got a good man who will not easily give up on you. I would thank god for that and we will prey that you will be happy together.

Good luck and we prey for a fast approval!

Things probably won't be a lot different when you go back to the US unless you and your man make some changes.

For one you missing family.

Try to set up your family with a PC so you can cam and chat.

I did that and I think my wife and her family talk more than when she lived in the Philippines.

Only cost P2000 a month for DSL and landline.

As of now, my son is in an international school here in Davao, so that his english will be getting better, i got a car now and learned driving so when i get back there, it wont be difficult for me,...

hi there, Haole, indeed its very true about the pc setup, eversince before i met my husband, we already have our pc here in our house coz of my sister and brother in college.,i also left my laptop before i left last feb.,

We are planning to start the gathering of documents for the i-130 package on december,..

thanks a lot for the replies....

since you where married in the USA, your husband would be submitting a copy of your marriage certificate from the Local County Register where you applied for the marriage license.

thanks Roy,..

so, it means, that we dont need to bring it to a philippine consulate? all we'll just gonna submit is the certified marriage contract from MN? i hope i got that right.. thanks...

Godbless....

jeramie

as far as I know, only need to submit marriage certificate from here with the I-130. as far as later in the process, hopefully someone will know if you need to have the marrige certificate registered with Philippine Embassy or Consulate here, then later registered at NSO.
