I'm going to get airplane tickets monday for a 3 week trip to the Philippines !
Hope to leave February 3rd and return February 24th !
This will be my first time back since almost two years ago .
And now that my finacee's annulment is finished and we got her thru her recent suregery without a hitch we'll go about getting the marriage taken care of !
I'll arrive Manila monday night and I have an appointment at the US Embassey in Manila tuesday morning for me to get a paper saying I'm no longer attached to any wife type creature and am free to marry again . Then on wednesday we'll take my divorce decree's , the affadavit from the embassey and her annulment papers to the local person that takes care of this in Cagayan de Oro City and get our marriage license . Then we have to wait ten days and then get married !
We've been working to get to this point for almost 4 years !
Come on 2013 I'm ready to go NOW

If however the prices jump again the backup plan will be to go from Dullus to Dubia and then Dubia to Manila !
Well... come back the way you didn't go, and call it a 'round the world trip! I've only been halfway and back! But, I made it back!

I "assume" Dubai is an okay place for a outspoken American to go . But I know the folks in Korea don't get overly offended by us nor do the folks in Japan seem overly put off by Americans . I think I like the idea of being there rather in the middle east , be it only for a couple hours at most !
Plus the flights going thru Seoul are a few hours quicker !
On the way over I like to get there as quick as possible without ANY delays . On the way back I'm a little more easy about loosing time .

The last time we went through LAX we had to take 2 shuttles across the tarmac, transfer at another concourse, then finally get to our connecting gate.......and it only took 40 minutes. I do so hate LAX.
I know a whole lot about very little and nothing about a whole lot.

I don't care for LAX as well !
However I was returning from the Philippines in 2009 and making my connection at SF with little time to spare to get to the United ticket counter to get my boarding pass !
I get to the customs people ahead of everyone else and those jerks are sitting around doing nothing so the supervisor tells one of them to check my stuff and I finally got to the boarding gate as they were calling final boarding for the plane back to Dullus .
I said some things to that customs guy that he didn't wanna care to hear after he had been going thru my junk for about 15 minutes .
I realize these so called people have a job to do , but for F sake I come no where near fitting the terrorist profile

6pt, will she be coming back with you once ya'll are married or will she have to stay over there a little while longer?

Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.

No I am sorry to say she won't I can't bring her back here until I can show them a rather flush bank account or a W2 form and since I've not had a job in the normal sense since July of 2008 I am lacking in the W2 department . And somehow the US Government doesn't wanna believe I can support myself and another off gun resale

Then we have to wait ten days and
Wait, what? It's not like you're buying a gun or anything...just sayin'.
Best of luck. I have talked to a couple people who have retired and married there. All had good things to say.
Our armed forces had a hand in the reason for the wait we're enduring !
People from what are termed third world countries used to marry US servicemen as a means to come to this country and would pay said servicemen to do this , then once they were here they would part company . This has caused the screening process to be somewhat harder and take a good while longer . I undertsnad the whole reasoning behind this , so I can't get angry about it . Still it doesn't make my present situation any easier or quicker !

Gonna fly outta Dullus Feb 3rd to Dubia and then on to Manila arriving the night of Feb 4th !
My fiancee will fly to Manila on the 4th and meet me there . We'll stay overnight in Manila and visit the US Embassey at 8:30 AM for my affadavit and then we'll fly to Cagayen de Oro together the afternoon of the 5th !
I'll return to Manila on the way home on sunday February 24th at 1PM and then fly from Manila to Dubai at 5:35 PM and then from Dubai back to Dullua hopefully arriving at Dullus at 8 AM monday morning !
Never had any intention of going thru the middle east , but looks like it's gonna happen now !

I will be going thru Dubai which kinda bothers me a bit being middle east and all .
Anyway I go on another Brit forum called http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/forum.php . And a good many of the blokes there fly into out of and thru Dubai regularly . And they tell me all's well "at the moment" for Americans there . So that makes me feel some better .

Hang in there on the paperwork. I'm one of those GIs that married overseas (a Korean) and it only took her 9 years to dump me and the two kids. That's why you're having the problems. Seriously now, there was a lot of that but the recent crackdown is really about eastern Europeans. As to the income, I would think a tax return would support your ability to support her, it used to, once upon a time (lo those nearly 40 years ago).

Gotta have an "actual" job to get a W2 and a tax return
Working for myself outta someones shop doesn't exactly provide that .

Yeah, whether you have a job, or investments, you have to show the ability to provide support. Tax returns are a must. If you're not filing...then you're not petitioning anyone.
I do so hate LAX.
