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 ...
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

What's the cheapest way to send money to the Philippines? by taylor1
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 ...
I use RIA. Their fees seem to be the lowest and the exchange rate is reasonable compared to what you get if you exchange cash in the PH. Also, I don't get charged the fee if I transfer over $1000. I can go and pick up cash immediately, ... Read More

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

Well said ElGato. We have people that help us/do things for us on a regular basis. On occasion we give them gifts, tips, little extras. It makes US feel good that we can do this. Those that work with us on a regular basis don't think, hey ... Read More

How do I know if my Girlfriend is who she says she is. by Derek.C
I have been chatting to a Lady on Facebook for nearly 4 Years now, But the other day I had a message from someone else saying, My girlfriend is a sex worker and a gold digger, and all her family know about it, and they are only after my money, But ...
I guess you've been jaded before Mikenjane. A lot of what you say is good advice, but it doesn't apply across the board. Sure there are many that fit what you say, but there are many that don't. I've met a lot of proud Filipinos. ... Read More

I think Geolefrench has said it best. If she hasn't been asking for money (or very little) over 4 years, I would say that she is not a gold digger, as she probably would have moved on long ago. If this is the case, then I would not think to ... Read More
Dating in the Philippines??? by Nathan juan
I'm curious to know of others experience with dating here. My question is how is dating intercultural? I've noticed that most men and women are married and no one ever wears wedding bands to signify if they are married. So just how does ...
My personal advice is not to look for someone too young. An older (not necessarily old) woman will usually have her life more in order. She is usually more ready to settle down and have a life with someone. I found my future bride online. She ... Read More

@NathanJuan. I think your a little jaded with your opinion on the women. Yes some are that way, but many are not. My wife beats every one down to get the best price. She knows that the less we pay, the more WE have. I guess you've had bad ... Read More

geolefrench, I am sure that Trump knows his geography better than you. After all, he has businesses all over the globe and is a world traveler. Making such comments just shows your immaturity. Read More
