It will be a 3 week trip if you marry there. Just something to consider.
-
If you want the fastest, then when you go there to meet, schedule a Utah wedding while you are there. Not something I would recommend because if you are planning to spend a lifetime together, a week or two of in person time is not near enough "together" time.

I am almost always quote something in particular when responding. If I mistook what you meant when you said it was so confusing after @Crazy Cat posted factual information, I apologize. Searching aimlessly on Google can definitely get confusing. Half of my job is searching Google so you get good at targeting your search terms but even for me it can lead me to a lot of incorrect answers.

Maybe, but in my opinion CR1 should be prioritized over K-1. CR1 you are petitioning an actual family member and K1 you are petitioning a possible family member.
-
Not really difficult. What @Crazy Cat posted are actual cases. These are not "he said, she said" results. If you trust the other sites, why ask here? If you trust here, why ask there? Are you looking for what you want to hear or are you looking for factual information. If it's factual information you are looking for, @Crazy Cat provided it above.

That is almost 2 months away. I would not start worrying yet.

I was lucky that from day 1 my wife let me handle the entire process. -
Confusion Creating Login for CEAC - K-1 Visa Applicant
RO_AH replied to TXMan322's topic in Philippines
Hahaha, not just social media, it's all their neighbors and friends too. I have termed it "they said". My wife will tell me something ridiculous and I will ask her where she heard that. She will say "they said". I told her I would love to write a book of all of the "they saids" I have heard.- 12 replies

Sounds like par for the course. They will make you jump through hoops until they have satisfied their ego. They always end up giving it to you in the end. Congrats!

Ok whatever. I did mean active, I am sorry if you feel attacked. I am not posting it for you. I am trying to bring clarity for others that read the post now and in the future. It's not a competition, and if I get something wrong I will not be upset if someone corrects me or brings clarity to what I said.

Been a regular on this forum for well over a decade. I am well aware. It has nothing to do with the interviewers knowledge of our immigration process, and most are totally unaware of our process and have a loose understanding of their own process. Zero crossover, and all about who you get. The only crossover is that they both may require some of the same documents. Also they are always much harder on K1 holders that CR1/IR1 holders and yes it always depends on who you get. My wife's was simple because we had been married almost 3 years and had 2 children already. Plus ours was just a phone call due to covid.
-
Our immigration process has nothing to do with them so that's irrelevant. It's just that mall cop complex.

I agree that the Utah wedding is the best choice. Wait for the recognition of divorce to go through before doing ROM. The only issue you may possibly run into is the CFO. If they ask for CENOMAR you will receive CEMAR as long as the divorce recognition has not gone through yet. However they may still accept your divorce decree as proof of marriage 1 ending.
-
In my opinion you should always just file the ROM. Just make your life easier.
-
The CFO is very odd and sadly holds a lot of power. By requesting a CENOMAR/CEMAR they are wanting to make sure that neither of you are married according to the Philippine Government.

Philippines Statistics Authority. The holder of all official civil documents.

Do you use LBC? I drop all mine off at LBC. They go into their warehouse and are in a container or enclosed warehouse every step of the way. At least that's the case for the area that I send to.

I have sent chocolate in every BB box I have sent in the last 15 years, Never once has it been melted.

US Embassy Manila - Passport Return Delay - HELP!!!! [merged threads]
RO_AH replied to Dave Knapp's topic in Philippines
If the supervisor was very clear, then they would tell you that she will receive another x-ray and they will make a determination from that x-ray. The way that you made it sound is that if you had sputum once you will automatically have to do it again which is not true. Hopefully you make it out first. -
I have been sending BB boxes through LBC for almost 15 years. First bit of advice, ignore the person you spoke to at LBC. I have never asked or been told that I am limited to 12 of anything. But, if nothing else, say you are sending 36 shirts. List as 12 Boys shirts, 12 Mens shirts. 12 womens shirts. See what I mean? The do not check your boxes anyway. I have sent many things that I either did not list or listed incorrectly. For chocolates, the best deal is the big bag at Costco. I don't know how you can 15 of those in a single bb box. I have sent computers, laptops, cash, jewelry, etc. and never had a problem. If you list them they will want to charge you extra. Bottom line is no one is going to open your box and search it.

US Embassy Manila - Passport Return Delay - HELP!!!! [merged threads]
RO_AH replied to Dave Knapp's topic in Philippines
My wife was flagged for sputum testing on her medical. Everything was difficult during covid, and her visa was approved just days before the medical expired so we had to redo it. 2nd time the x-ray was clear so she did not have to do sputum the second exam. So basically the supervisor you talked to has no clue. It is not a guarantee she would have to do it again. -
Do you guys purchase plane ticket from the USA and not from Philippines?
RO_AH replied to nelmagriffin's topic in Philippines
I buy directly from the airline. I find it a little cheaper when booking my flight from a PC located in PH -
LBC 1st choice if you have a branch near you. If not DHL is my second choice. Last choice for me would be FEDEX due to price.
