More than likely, you will have to pay the Philippines for your overstay. As long as you have proper documentation, valid US passport or valid (non expired) Green Card (Visa) you should not have any issues with entering the US. Read More

Information by Paul Sebastian

Hi My name is Paul, I'm from Cape Town. I have a Filipino girlfriend living and working in Bacolod City. I would like to relocate so I can be with her. This is all new to me as I have never been outside of South Africa before so I would really ...

ChuckG

I think you should go to Bacolod City. You can get there fairly easy from Cebu, as they have a decent international airport that you can fly directly into. Depending on how much time you have, you could have your GF meet you in Cebu, then travel ... Read More

There are lots of ways to send money to the Philippines. Paypal is one, but it's not cheap. There are also money transfer like MoneyGram and Western Western but do you know how much it actually cost you? (When sending $1000 from US to ...

Where do you plan to live? US or Philippines? If you plan to live in US, don't get married in the Philippines. It is much easier to obtain a fiance visa, less time, less money. You have 90 days to get married from the day she arrives in the ... Read More

You should let us know where you plan to get married. This will help with the responses you get and should be less confusing. As Mugtech said, it is easier to come to the USA on a fiance visa than a spouse visa. So you may want to check on that ... Read More
