Travis Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 is there anyway around having to make the 125% of the poverty level for 2 in order to be approved for a fiancee visa?Get a co-sponsor thank you but I read the rules & it appears that the cosponsor has to have the same 125% so we cannot combine incomes to meet the amount needed & the few friends I have that might be willing to do that are in the same situation I am in http://www.hooyou.com/familybased/faq.htmlWhat is the income requirement for a co-sponsor? Basically, the co-sponsor must have an income 125% above the federal poverty lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softail Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) If you can't afford a Filipina here there is no way you can afford her back in the good old USA. That is a very good point. When that little lady gets here to the US she is going to start wanting things. Nicer clothes and so on and if you are on as tight a budget as you say you are that could be a real problem.Doug and Sally Edited September 21, 2010 by Mr. Lee repair quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give MYSELF that little reality check from time to time. I wonder if I put that in my expat bible. Sounds like a commandment to me.... Or maybe the golden rule...

I hate those damned cell phones You're problem is not the Philippines, its the girl. Taking her back to the USA is not going to solve that issue. Stop giving it to them and she will stop it. Maybe you're and old softie and can't stand to see her miserable. The misery is a show to manipulate you. Its total BS, she's playing you, take the bow string away or just give her the money. Perhaps decide what you will send back to them each month and let that be the end of it? If you keep responding in the way she wants, she's going to keep doing. I know you know all this.If you move, it will be an email, it wont do any good. My girl has never asked me for money to send to the Philippines. That doesn't mean she never figured out a way to do it without asking. ;)Traveler, your not gonna solve these problems by changing location. Xanax might help though. :shooter: Where's mine...... :as-if: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No name Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Hmmm, i've been fighting with a sales page all day for an eBook. If I sound harsh, just ignore it. I'll come back when I'm not so tense. :)Wish you the best of luck traveler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldutot Posted September 26, 2010 Posted September 26, 2010 Traveler, If she makes you happy, and you know this person, Go for it. nothing is easy in life. The both of you can work for a living. My wife and myself struggled to make our marriage work. And now enjoying the fruit of our labour. It irks me at times when guys voice theirs thoughts and experiences with Filipinas.
