austriacus, your wife is a Filipina? Where in the Philippines is your wife from? How long has she been living in the States? Life here is a little more relaxed for most, but not for me (i have a high pressure job). I've been here for 19 years, there are many things I love about the Philippines...

You all have me lost already. All i know is that i do understand why they make it very difficult for k-3 visas in the Philippines. There are a lot of older men marrying younger women and the women are just looking for a way out of the country. It's not like that in my case, my wife is the same...

sassonyc, I'm about go through the same journey as you. I've been married for 10 years now and i have two daughters (8 and 4) and I've been living in the Philippines since 1988. I have just recently decided to move back to the U.S. with my family. The mere thought of being without my family...

This is what i found out regarding the k-3 visa for my wife: To obtain K-3 status for an alien spouse, the U.S. citizen petitioner must first file an I-130 petition with INS in the United States. The U.S. citizen petitioners must also file a second petition, the I-129F, with the INS in the U.S...

If I file the I-130 for my wife and once it is pending. What kind of time frame am i looking at to get her a k-3 visa? Should i do this in the Philippines or should I work it out from the U.S.?

Yes, I've read up a lot regarding this. My mother who is a naturalized American citizen has been living in the U.S. for a very long time (well over 30 years) so I know that getting my children citizenship wouldn't be a problem. I'm going to start looking into that, I guess my mother would have...

Would it be possible since my wife and children have tourists visas, to let them go to the U.S. and petition them when they are there (Atlanta, GA.)? Would that be legal? I've read in a few threads that if you apply for say the I-130 or I-129F petition and you can stay in the U.S. legally until...

Thanks PraetorianXI. So I guess it will not be hard to get my two daughters citizenship because my mother is still residing in the U.S. I can just file FORM N-600, N-600/N-643 SUPPLEMENT A. Do you have any idea on how my wife should go about applying? she will be taking her NCLEX for nursing in...

I'm very new to this forum so I hope I can educate myself regarding my problem. I'm A U.S. Citizen living in the Philippines since 1988, i was 15 when I moved here. In 1997 I was married and later on had 2 daughters. When my first daughter was born I found out that she cannot be a U.S. Citizen...
