I've got to ask, because some one has to do it, why are the Philippines so apparently overrepresented on VJ in terms of K-1 beneficiaries? I understand that the country makes up somewhere around 1.37% of the world population, but my sense is that somewhere around 75% of the k-1 beneficiaries on this site are from the Philippines. What gives?

Moved from K-1 to Philippines (seems regional).

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

The Embassy in the Philipines (USEM) does more K1 visas than any other US Embassy. The reasons are varied and different for each couple.

Each situation is different, but I think in general filipino women want a husband that treats them with respect and lets be honest offers them a better quality of life. Marrying an American or European man gives them the best chance of achieving these goals. Again every case is different but my filipino wife and I are extremely happy with each other... she is beautiful inside & out!

Oh yea +1

I remember the first time I went to the PHILS. It was just two weeks after 4 bombs went off in Manila back in 2001 (I think) and my company sent me there to lead a project. My firends and family were against it, I was not happy about it having just come back from another project in Chile. To be brief, I spent about 9 months there (6 weeks in Manila, 9 days at home and then back again - back and forth that way for the 9 months) and it just changed me.

My project team was made up of men (Pinoy) and women (Pinay) and that's how I began to see Filipina's in a differant light because to say they make the best wives is one thing (and true) but they are also very smart, intuitive, loyal and hard working as well, to a fault sometimes.
