Immigration Question For my Girlfriend?
I almost always ignore messages or contact from people outside of the U.S when going to online dating, chat, etc. rooms. I did however start to talk to one lady from the Philippines a while back and we have become very close. She and I talk every day, care about each others lives and want to meet and learn more about each other. I started the entire conversation by warning her that I would never give her money, nor marry her to help her get to America. She was honest and up front that she did want to come to America, but that her parents in Alaska had a petition pending already, and that she would never use someone to get here. When I try and talk about ways we could get her here, she is more interested in talking with me than discussing those ways. She gets sad and it is obvious she feels she will only be able to care for me online and tries to divert the questions I have about working to actually get her here, rather than just dream about it. It was like pulling teeth to get her to finally tell me how long she thought it would take if she simply went with the petition. She said as long as 10 years and then simply said that she only wanted me to tell her if I found someone in America before she got here and that he completely understood if I did. She has passed every litmus test I have in regards to her trying to use someone or try and get money from Americans. I've seen her home, nieces and sister, facebook (and actually googled to find her friendstir account that she didn't even realize she still had. I simply used her screen name in google and found it. The cool thing is that it was from 2008 and was accurate in all details , except she was younger in the pictures. It even said "seeing someone" which showed me that she didn't have the account back then to get with someone. She admitted that she had it as that to keep people from bugger her where she lives.. Anyway, I can tell she truly has fallen for me, and I have strong feelings about her. I still always keep my wits about me, but want to at least have her visit and spend time with me. BTW, she knows I have no money, in school, and have kids. She actually has a better place to live than I do and better job (although she prob doens't get as much as I will when I graduate)... She also has been very up front about her parents bugging her to get married and trying to set her up. This is a cultural thing as she is 30 in the Philippians. I don't really believe sharing that info would benifit a scam artist. I think it was honest and she was trying to tell me she didn't want to settle for the guys that only wanted one thing, or guys her parents tried to set her up with. Funny, her telling me the pressure she has had from her family to get married, and her reluctance to just settling, helped her case with me, rather than hurting it. Question: What are some fast and easy ways to have her visit so we can learn more about each other and find out if we are truly right for each other? Please be specific and detailed. There are probably a lot of different types of ways she can travel and stay for a period. I don't want to rush into the longer term committed ways yet. I don't want to get engaged, married, etc. Just want her to be able to come over soon and stay for a bit. Thank you

It can be extremely difficult for a woman from the Philippines to get a tourist visa to the states. 1) She has to meet the requirements for the visa all on her own. Meaning she has to show strong enough ties to her country that US immigrations would not see her as a risk of over staying her visa. This is normally very difficult to prove to begin with...but since she has parents who already live in Alaska and a petition pending...I seriously doubt she would be issued a tourist visa. 2) The other poster is right. Women from the Philippines are notorious for scamming American men just to get a green card. I am in no way saying this is what she is doing. I am saying because of the history it reflects badly for her just by association. I suggest you visiting her. If the 2 of you hit it off, then you can realistically consider taking it to the next level. Donna

I'm smelling a rat ! Can you prove her parents are legally in Alaska ? I think you're being taken for a sweet, winding and long ride. The truth is that Filipino woman wants to come and live in the United States. She can come and visit you on a tourist/visitor visa. The question is: Will she go back to the Philippines ? Just to add, I have an American friend who retired and went to live in the Philippines. My friend is almost 70 years old. The old man is really enjoying himself there. He has a harem with three young Filipino women. Viagra is a wonder drug !

6 :
If you're that convinced this is true love, go visit her in the PI.
7 :
It is probably easiest for you to get a tourist visa to go visit her.
8 :
If her parents are in Alaska and have a petition for her then she just waits until thats approved and can come over. I dont think she can get a tourist visa if there is already another applicaiton in process from her parents
