Even though we assist in preparation of the petitions and gathering of documents, photos, etc. in the Philippines, we would like to provide you with a few basic steps that will assist you in filing your petition, should you decide to do so after you have met your lady in the Philippines.
Of course we would first strongly suggest that you have someone verify that the lady you are writing and preparing to engage or marry, is who she claims to be! You also need to know that you are the ONLY one she is serious to! We can arrange for someone to do that for you. (You are talking about a lady you are planning to bering to USA at great time and expense, why would a prudent man pay a mechanic a hundred bucks to check out a car he is intending to purchase for THOUSANDS, but not take the same precautions when not only his future, happiness and everything he has worked so hard all his life is at stake? (Divorce laws usually favor the lady.)
Many petitions are denied just because the Petitioner (that's you) for one reason or another, fails to obtain or maintain certain records both before and during his travels to the Philippines. Sometimes it's just because the who petition process is so overwhelming, for others it's just so confusing and/or ignorance as to what is going to be needed, and for many it's simply that they are so in love and excited that they forget that both they and their fiancé will soon be dealing with various government agencies. Remember also that in addition to YOUR dealing with various government agencies here in the states, SHE will have to face both the embassy staff and ALSO the Homeland Security Investigators at the embassy!
Also remember that if the petition is not properly prepared and you fail to adequately provide proper answers, or if you inadvertently leave a blank or fail to date, or fail to provide sufficient information, that your petition may be delayed and/or even denied completely!
