Ok, this one is kind of new to me. Actually it's completely Greek.
I met a woman from the Philippines about 4 years ago online. We had been friends for about two years until we officially became exclusive. I went to visit her this past summer and we really hit it off. We did not have sex or anything of the sort. She is from a very conservative family and so am I. Not to mention I am too old for "booty calls."
We also talk over the phone every Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. We also do video chat online as well as send emails back and forth.
Well, about 2 months ago she approached me about her immigrating to the states. I told her I thought that was great but I wanted to make sure that this is something that she truly wants. She made it clear to me that it is indeed what she wants to do. She has her own money and I even offered to at least help pay for some of the expenses of her moving. She flat out refused to let me. But I'll do it anyway. I'm going to make her pay for most of it though.
What I would like to know is this. What kind of red tape is involved for her to immigrate here and then for her to able to attain work and then to eventually attain citizenship. Now, I know that I am going to have to support her and myself for a little while until she finds a job. That I have no problems with. She does have a good grasp on the English language (although sometimes I have to ask her to repeat something.) Her knowledge of US history I don't know about. I was told that she would have to have at least a working knowledge of that as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
