It will take longer if you are applying for a K3. Why don't you just start the paperwork now for a K1 visa? the whole process should only take about 180 days, while k3 takes about 2 years.


and one more thing, the US immigration law requires that the petitioner be in United States during the petition process.What do my bf need for us to get married here or what are th requirements needed?
Keep your hooks in him and don't let him leave without you. You have to get out of that hell hole! Keep fng his brains out so he doen't have a chance to even think that all you want is to get out of that rat infested monkey meat jungle. Mabuhay and koochee koochee sailor boy want some party time girley girley action time ten pesos a dance?
It won't happen in six months, expect it to take a year.





Since he does not live permanently in the Philippines he will not be allowed to file directly with the US embassy. He'll have to file with the Citizenship and Immigration Service Office back in the US that has responsibility for his US residence.





He'll need to file an I-130 and a G-325 along with all the supporting documents and evidence. You can find the forms and their instructions here.....

His initial visa waiver will be for 21 days. Before it expires he will need to report to Philippine Immigration and apply for an extension. I believe, for a fee, they will extend him to 60 days. Before that expires he'll need to go back and once again apply for an extension and pay a fee. The fees get progressively higher each time he extends his stay.





If he fails to get the proper extensions he'll be stopped at the airport during his Customs and Immigration clearance and heavily fined. He could end up missing his flight. He could be taken into detention until the next flight out.





He will need to check the US embassy's web page for Americans who intend to get married in the Philippines. You'll find it here...

Specifically, he'll need to obtain a ';Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage.';





Any foreigner who wishes to marry in the Philippines is required by the Philippine Government to obtain from his/her Embassy a ';Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage'; before filing an application for a marriage license. This certification affirms that there are no legal impediments to the foreigner marrying a Filipino (i.e, that the foreigner is already married to someone else). Unlike the Philippines, the U.S. Government does not keep a central statistical registry for births, marriages and deaths and cannot verify this information. Instead, the Philippine Government accepts an ';Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage.'; Americans may execute this affidavit at the American Embassy in Manila or the U.S. Consular Agency in Cebu. Personal appearances of the American citizen applicant cannot be waived, but the fiance(e) need not be present. Philippine authorities will not accept any substitute document initiated in the United States.





Applicants may apply for the ';Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage'; at the Embassy's American Citizen Services Branch everyday from Monday through Friday from 8:00 - 10:00 am.(except Philippine and American holidays). The American must present his/her U.S. passport. There is a fee of $30.00 or its peso equivalent for the affidavit, payable in cash only.





The Affidavit is notarized by a U.S. consular officer. The consular officer can refuse to perform this service if the document will be used for a purpose patently unlawful, improper, or inimical to the best interest of the United States. Entering into a marriage contract with an alien strictly for the purpose of enabling entry to the United States for that individual is considered an unlawful act. Section 4221 of Title 22 United States Code provides penalties for individuals who commit perjury in an affidavit taken by a consular officer.
Longer than if you get a K-1 and marry in the US. But if speed of paperwork is not your sole goal, then apply and keep your fingers crossed.


6 months is a mnimum amount of time to process if there are no snagsl One to 3 years seems to be what I hear for a K3.
I agree that it will take about one year. He will want to have someone in the US to collect his mail and forward information to him. He can and should come to the PI with all of the documents from the US that he will need for your visa application, to make things easier.


He will need to show that he has an income in the US sufficient to support his household, or make other arrangements. This may be difficult if he is living overseas.
