Peter,

If you don’t move her to the city, you’ll go nuts without regular communications. It’s ridiculous to expect her to travel that far just to use the Internet or make a phone call. Even if she is in the city, you can’t expect daily communications all the time.

That K-3 visa paperwork may start moving faster than you think and she should get everything ready for her medical and interview NOW, not at the last minute.

Dave H is right about the house. It’s no big deal normally to move it a few feet. They don't need a new house. If they can’t afford a pig and a case of San Magoo like Dave suggested, then they can hitch up those water buffaloes and drag it off the highway :-)

If she doesn’t know what to do with the bike, tell her to donate it to the local church and you can write it off on your taxes.

Peter,

She should understand that it IS possible for her to come here, but it will take alot of work on her behalf. The fact that she lives in a small, obscure and remote place may make it more difficult (travel and staying in unfamiliar places for the process, ie. Manila) it can be done. My wife had some of the same issues about the process, mostly how it was rumored by her friends to take 2 years to be approved... I talked to her thoroughly and convinced her that it would take less than 6 months... and it has!

I have dreamed of retiring and moving to the Philippines and I plan to do that someday, but I want to have a fat bank account and a pension going before I make the move. That seems a good 20 years away at best for me and that will work out because my children will be in college or at least on their own (hopefully). I have come to the conclusion that I am a Filipino in a white man's body and I belong there.

In my opinion, you need to convince her that she needs to go and stay with her aunt in Cebu, at least until the paperwork arrives. She needs to also get a passport and she can do that while she's there. There is alot that needs to be done, and things could get crazy for her during that time, but she should stay strong for this... it's a sacrifice she will need to make for a lifetime of happiness with her loving husband.

If there is any way you could move there to be with her during the process and stay there to help her, I would say that is the ideal situation.

Good luck.

Hi Peter,

The house itself does not sound like a big deal. It's very common to see a group of men pick up the typical Philippine house and carry it to the new location. A meal of roasted pig and some San Miguel and everyone is happy. In this case the government would probably pay for it to be moved. It could also be dismantled and the materials reused at the new location.

Relocating to RP sounds safer, go for it.
