I am looking to marry my filipina gf, but facing strange hurdles... please help?

Question

I have been dating my filipina gf for over three years now. I was in the United States Navy and met her when i was visiting the country on vacation. I was unable to marry her before i was forced out of the military (thanks Obama) but now that i am home, i cant seem to get anything to work.
I have tried to apply for a fiance visa but the problem is that i am only working a part time job while attending school. So i dont meet the income requirements, which is a huge joke because i collect over 2000 a month in wages from the GI Bill and my Job, but the United States government doesnt recognize my GI bill as a proper wage because its only in effect while im in school.. which is every month of the year. I have thought about taking a break from school and getting a real job and then starting the paperwork, but my gf doesnt want me to stop school... she took a job in dubai to make more money to help our process but nothing seems to work.

I am basically looking for any loopholes or any way to get married to her quickly so i can start the paperwork for us to be together, i am planning on flying to dubai soon to be with her again and i would like to have some good news.

Please help

Answer 1

It is true you are not allowed to use a co-sponsor for a fiance visa processed through Manila,



However. there is NO prohibition against using a co-sponsor for a spouse visa.



So the "loophole" you are seeking is marriage. Marry the gal, then apply for a spouse visa. Enlist the aid of a co-sponsor and you are "good to go".



In order to bring your new wife to the USA and her to remain here permanently you must apply for a spousal visa. And she will have

to wait in her home country while it is pending.



You must apply for a spousal visa for her. The spousal CR-1 visa will give her permission to come to the USA and stay here permanently.



How to bring your Foreign Spouse to the USA is described at

http://www.visacoach.com/how-bring-spouse-to-usa.html



Spousal visas take 9 to 14 months.



The CR-1 Spousal Visa Process is as follows:



First of all you have a real courtship and relationship followed by a legal marriage.



You are a US citizen or Permanent Resident.



You earn over $19,700.



You are able to 'prove' that you have a real, genuine, 'bone fide' relationship. You do this by presenting copies of correspondences, photos, letters, plane tickets, etc.



See: http://www.visacoach.com/genuine-relationship-video.html



Once married you apply for the visa, to USCIS Homeland Security. This is called

form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative.



Then about 5 to 6 months later USCIS approves.



Then Department of State's National Visa Center, NVC, will contact you for additional

application fees, and for you to submit to them a 'mini petition' with your spouses original documents.



Once NVC has completed their processing, about 4 to 8 months later, they pass the case to

the embassy nearest your spouse. Then your spouse is asked to attend an interview ( 3 to 5 months later) and the visa will be granted or denied.



If granted, she can begin her travel to the USA. Her green card is already approved, she should get it in the mail a few months later.



Best of luck with your planss

Answer 2

There are no loophole ...unless you can find a real mug to co sponsor although I don't think that's acceptable to buy as bride bride countries



for a fiancee visa

http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow



US Citizen can apply for a special visa to allow a non-citizen (their fiancée) to enter the country in order to get married to a US citizen inside the US.



Once issued, the K1 visa will allow the non-citizen to enter the United States legally, for 90 days in order for the marriage ceremony to take place. Once you marry, the non-citizen can remain in the US and may apply for permanent residence. While USCIS processes the application, the non-citizen can remain in the US legally

The US citizen income must meet the require minimum to fulfill the affidavit of support

currently $19660 ..or get a joint sponsor .. if you can find someone that gullible

Answer 3

If you have sufficient savings you still can sponsor her. You need 3x the amount of 125% of the poverty level for eventually sponsoring her for a greencard. So if you have assets of about $60 000 you should be fine.



Alternatively you can see whether anybody in your family would be willing to act as a financial cosponsor.
