That isn't new, goes back to 2021 time frame. What is new about it?

New recent ruling on DACA? What is the new recent ruling you are talking about? There has been no recent rulings on DACA Apps/renewals. Since around 2021 only renewals are accepted, They haven't taken new apps since 2021 time frame.

It will be nice when USCIS gets rid of the silly requirements of having to list all your criminal stuff. This is just a stupid and non sense requirement.

I agree 100% I stay away from any airline with China in it's name. Once you get inside China it isn't a place you want to be or deal with a country that can't speak English Very very hard to understand the staff on the plane to even understand what they are serving for meals.

For sure worth a 2nd attempt. Usually the old and wealthy are slam dunk for Tourist visa, and since your wife is a US Citizen it should be even more proof of the mothers ties to Philippines. My MIL did a Tourist Visa interview few months ago, wasn't asked about home just how many kids, who was paying for her trip and her middle name and if she was retired.

Never understood anyone wanting to do ROM in Philippines. So much easier to keep everything in her name, Me personally I don't want my name on any Philippines marriage register.

Did you not read my comment? "Will have to get judge to do legal name change at during Naturalization if person decides to seek US Citizenship." Didn't work for my wife, She had to do an extra step at to get her name changed during Naturalization

So if one doesn't have a cell fone what happens from there? They need to go to internet cafe and have email printed out?

Will have to get judge to do legal name change at during Naturalization if person decides to seek US Citizenship. But not a biggie

Travelers Checks? Haven't used them or seen them since the late 1980's For a Fiance/Marriage visa she only needs CFO sticker in her passport to leave Philippines.

K1 Petition, Petitoner or Beneficary can both be under age 18 to file. Under 18 would need parental Consent

K1 Visa Healthcare Insurance is not part of the requirements

OP states is he living in Philippines. If he does Utah online, then he can encounter problems getting a 13a visa in Philippines. They would just laugh at you if you tried to get 13a visa in Philippines to stay there if you bring a Utah online marriage to them, works for US immigration but not for living in Philippines. Philippines isn't the USA, they don't recognise same sex marriage, muslims can have upto 4 wives, and only muslims can divorce. Different country different rules.

Just seems like too many hoops to jump thru, when I can fly to Las Vegas and get a marriage license almost anytime and married easy or have a friend marry you in USA. There is some guy named Gio who has a Youtube channel and he is living in Philippines last few years, for some reason he married there. Now him and his girl split up, now he will have to jump thru a bunch of hoops and lots of extra money just to file for a divorce, and she will probably be married the rest of her life in PHilippines and never get to marry again since getting the divorce recognized in PHilippines for her is gonna take years and probably a years salary. If she date he can have her arrested and brought up on charges of bigamy.

Why is that a big plus? Make no sense what so ever. You won't be finding many if any whom gonna fly 24 hours to Philippines from USA and pay $1500 just for a wedding, and with the time change and crossing date line it's a beating. Plus add you will have to have a cow and a couple of pigs slaughtered, Once they bring the cow you will have to pay somewhere for it to graze before you slaughter it, pig can be kept in a pen. Then add all the hoopla you have to jump thru to just get married in PHilippines. Philippines is the land of different rules for different cities, nothing is uniformed. Each city will have their own rules and they make change from day to day. All the paperwork you need to bring like Birth Certificate, Divorce Decrees, CENOMAR, Legal Capicaty to Marry form from US Embassy, marriage seminars, long wait for Marriage licenses Parental Consent for anyone under age 21 without that no marriage license issued, 21 to 25 needs parent advisement. Have you been married in Philippines?

Copy

Thanks for the update..........

I suspect they were translators for US Military or worked as US Military Intelligence. I see US Closed down Afghan Embassy in 2021. I wonder why it took so long time get them out of their? US Military withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021 as well. Anyone have a Embassy Interview on Monday Janurary 6th?

Looks like US Embassy in Manila just processed 200 Afghan National flown to Philippines via US Government planes to process SIV (Special Immigrant Visa) and put them on commercial flights (Sure paid for by US taxpayers) to USA who arrived in USA between January 15th to 17th. I bet it was hard to get a Interiew date on Monday January 6th, and I am sure medical interivew was waived as well. I do find this interesting, and looks like more could be coming to US Embassy in Manila. 200 Afghan nationals complete visa processing, leave Philippines

Annulments used to trigger automatic seperate psycholgiclal exam at St. Lukes, is this still the norm or has it changed?

So they are asking to see I-134 again at US Embassy in Manila for a K1? I remember for a couple of years they quit asking for them. Do they now send a form letter with requirments for a K1? If so do you have a copy you can post?

What visa are staying on in Philippines? SRRV or Tourist Visa with extensions?

You forgot to add alot of things for him He would have to fly to US Embassy in Manila and get a form to get married in the Philippines if he doesn't live close. They would have to do a pre-marriage counselling And the worst part is he would have his name registered a national data base in Philippines showing married. Nope Hard pass on that in Philippines. Stick with K1 for Philippines.

I married my wife in Las Vegas in 2015, She came to USA on K1 and took about 3 months total. We have been married 10 years as well. My wife has US Citizenship and is a dual Citizen as well, She has her own car, my wife doesn't need to work because I make bank, she is however licensed RN in both USA and Philippines, She too has her own saving account and credit cards. If she wanted to work she has that option, but really no need for her to work. No way or no how would I have gotten married in Philippines back then, jump thru all the hoops, have to do all kinds of seminars, get my name listed on a national marriage register in Philippines and have to either have parental consent or advice to make the marriage valid. But I had spent a long time in Philippines and know how it works in the Philippines.

I like your plan of getting her a US Passport so she can collect Social Security, Good plan on that. K1 is your best option and fastest option, Don't listen to all these people whom want you to get married in Philippines, nothing good can come from getting married in Philippines, bring them to USA where it is easy. Good Luck.
