Visa Denied

[ironman]

I applied for a K1 fiance visa and the process was doing ok at first. I send about 7 pictures of me and my fiance together. During the wait for the interview my fiance got pregnant by a filipino. After long thought and consideration I decied to continue with the process. I know many people will say I am crazy. During the interview the consul ask who your baby father and my fiance told him the truth that the father was a filipino but we talk about it and I accept that fact. He denied the visa on grounds of not a bonidefide relationship. Can I appeal a denied visa like this does anyone have advice for me.

OK, I will say it.

Ironman,

Find another Filipina.

Of course you can appeal ...

But I have to side with Dabyano ... find someone else ...

Personally I think the consul did the right thing ...

Don't expect that a Filipina that you'd be marrying is as pure, innocent and naive. Not all of them. The world is evolving you guys! Philippines is becoming westernized and women are into sex outside marriage now. Get real!

George, if you find a wife in the Philippines, find a smart, capable Filipina. I know that's hard thing to do if you don't see them personally on a daily basis, but you can tell a person if she/he has lots of brain --- through correspondence and how she/he speaks to you. Statistically, most Filipinas married to a foriegner are non-college educated, so English and accent are issues here. But, you don't want your wife to just work in Walmart, do you? Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong working at Walmart but a little higher standard than Walmart will benefit you and your future wife's self-esteem.

So, I recommend you to find a college educated Filipina, not just a ramdon girl because she's a Filipina. Although, not all college educated aren't smart either but you have to work hard in looking to get your prize.

I am not tying to antagonized non-college educated Filipinas here. I just wanted to raised the bar and let Americans know that we are intelligent and capable little Pinays. Pinays, even non-English countries are being streotyped as dumb and funny accent, so I would like to eliminate that streotypical thing in the future.

To all Filipinas, work hard on your English. Read newspaper, watch American-spoken movies and sitcoms and emulate how they speak. Don't just stick to telenovelas!

Alright, I am done.

I can assure you ... my WIFE is both smart AND capable ...

Thanks for your concern ...

Speaking as a person who started his working life as a high school drop-out but over the years managed to earn a college degree, I believe that education is something that you can go out and get. I choose a woman for what kind of person she is, not by if she is a college graduate.

I looked for a woman who had a good, out-going personality, who was kind to others, who had a good idea of who she was and what she wanted. Of course, there were other things to be considered: how we felt about children, family, religion and other things like that.

Since I have been "around the block" once or twice before, I think I can safely say that education does not have much to do with how much I will like a woman or how good a relationship will be with her.

They probably already know about it before you know it. they are very smart people than you think.

George is already married; I think he found a perfect one.

I think you only antagonizing yourself; you are giving too much unneccesary advices. trying hard to help those people.

I just wanted to raised the bar and let Americans know that we are intelligent and capable little Pinays.

I agree with you on that. in fact according to you in the other thread, you are studying now to get a college degree. kudos to you for working a better future for yourself.

even non-English countries are being streotyped as dumb and funny accent, so I would like to eliminate that streotypical thing in the future.

so, you want to be super woman? good luck to you

I am sure all Filipinas probably already know about it. it is really up to them. they are adults, they know what is good for them. just like you, you know what is best for yourself.
