A common question asked of people who have married a Filipina and gotten a visa is how long did it take? I will run down some dates for you today. Subscribe to Love Beyond The Sea where my hope is that you might be able to work on your own relationship timeline with a woman from the Philippines.

I remember one night we were lying in bed asking each other “do you believe we are together now?” We were pondering the events between getting married in the Philippine and her immigration to America. The time went by so fast and I was worried it would feel like an eternity. If you are concerned about having to wait this process out when you find a Filipina, well, you know how fast life goes, you will be together faster than you think. It seems like a blur now.

Our time line was this:
