K1 Visa: For the US Citizen looking for a way to bring a fiance(e) from the Philippines to the USA, you have the option of going through the USCIS and filing the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance(e).

K3 Visa: Another way to bring your Filipino loved one to the USA is if you married them in the Philippines? You can use the K3 Spouse visa by submitting the I-130 Relative Petition and then later filing the I-129F paper work.

This will most likely get your family member the CR-1 Conditional Resident visa and in some cases the IR-1 Immediate Relative visa.

K2 or K4 Visas: Any one of the above visas can include children under age 21 to also be granted a visa as a derivative to either the K1 Fiancee visa or the K3 Spousal visa.

Children are able to come to the USA as K2 children or K4 children if they meet the requirements. The Sponsor must also be able to provide evidence that they can meet the I-864 Poverty guidelines.

Other Visa types that many try to use but most fail:

Tourist or Visitor visas, which are both the same. You have a much better chance of bringing your loved one to the USA with the K1 or K3 visa than you do if you try to use a Tourist visa.

Tourist visas from the Philippines has less than a 5% success rate due to the difficult requirements that USCIS and the US Consulate imposes on the applicants. Often time applicants that meet most of the requirements still do not get approved and we have known some that where approved and made it all the way to the US port of entry and then where denied entry.

Requirements needed to get approved for a Tourist visa:
 

⇒ You should have traveled to other easier countries throughout Southeast Asia and returned back to your Country without any incident.

⇒ You should be a successful business owner and have proof of a substantial amount of saving for no less than six months.

⇒ You should own home and or real estate, automobile, proof that you can show to the interviewer that you have plenty to lose if you fail to return back to your Country at the appropriate time.

⇒ You must be able to file for the Tourist visa without the help of a US Sponsor, meaning that this is all up to the applicant whom also should be financially well off to afford round trip airline tickets.

⇒ One of the number one reason that many fail who come close to meeting all of the requirements, is when the interviewer asks them where in the USA are they going and who are they going to visit? For example, if your telling them that you want to go to Wabash Indiana to visit a friend and the friend is a man? then this is an automatic "RED FLAG"

⇒ Your chances are going to be much better if you actually have immediate family members such as mother father or a sibling living in Wabash Indiana? Most of the time the interviewers are wonder why would someone want to visit a place like Wabash Indiana? Better to say your visiting Los Angeles or New York City and a true family member but never a friend especially the opposite sex.
 

Now if you've been thinking about living in the Philippines, this could be an alternative for you no matter which Country your from?
