Jason & Lea the Romance

A year ago, I wrote fiance visa  process and made videos in youtube. A filipino man named Jason (not real name) who is currently working in Saudi Arabia as an engineer contacted me just yesterday (June 03,2015). He just recently met a US citizen filipino women Lea who claims that she is a doctor working in Syria. She said that it is part of her medical practice. She is also saying that she wants to marry and him so that she can leave her job in Syria.  Jason thought it is okay because he is single, ready and willing to marry.

anti-romance scam tip #1:  It is not uncommon to meet an American Citizen who is abroad (many US military people are abroad) however, take your time getting to know them.  Do not rush into a romance.

The fiance Visa Set Up

Jason told Lea that he would rather marry in the Philippines as it is more formal to meet the family first then marry. And so if she could go there it would be better because he prefer a CR1 visa as well. Lea keeps making alibis saying that a fiance visa is faster because it only takes 5 months to process it. She also said that she will need 10 gifts to prove that the relationship and a diamond ring which she sent a picture of to Jason. Lea also demanded of a Samsung 6 as a first gift. Jason asked her if they could meet first since they are talking of getting a fiance visa. She said that it is not necessary yet. She wanted to do the fiance visa first. Get the NOA 1 and NOA 2 before they meet.  He had been asking if they could talk on the phone. Lea reasoned out that she does not have a phone. It is not allowed in Syria. She also said that she does not have a facebook or skype but only email.

anti-romance scam tip #2:  ALWAYS, make sure you SEE your lover via cam.  DO NOT accept alibis on why they cannot do cam.  There is always a way and if they are as serious about you as your are about them, they will find a way to do cam to cam with you.

anti-romance scam tip #3:  In a US fiance visa petition, you cannot petition your foreign fiance if you have not met in person. A main proof USCIS for a fiance visa is a proof of your meeting such as photos together,  flight ticket, hotel room booking and an engagement ring. However, it is not a must to have an engagement ring.

Basically, this is purely a scam. So cautious of who you become serious withDO not be fooled with just the beautiful photos. They may not be what you think they are. Always ask to see them live on skype or any kind of video chat. That is the most guaranteed way to know the person on the other line.
