Help Bring Us Together!

Hi, my name is Allan Lowe and I am fundraising to help pay for costs for bringing my wife, Babylyn, to the United States. We were married July 8, 2022 in the Philippines. I am currently working to file an immigration petition to bring her to the United States. I have some money saved for this purpose, but am still lacking quite a bit to file. Currently, the cost to file a petition, Form I-130, is $535, but will be going up to $675 on April 1st, so I would really like to file it now to avoid having to pay the new fee.

Her desire is to come to the US so we can be together and she can work and help save money for our future. Once here, we can save money to bring our other children here and, for our long-term goal, buy land in the Philippines and build our forever home and have money set aside to start our own business so we can be self-sufficient. Our first step for this is bringing her here, as our cost of living will not be significantly higher and her salary can be placed towards saving for our life goals.

Processing time for I-130 petitions is currently 11-15.5 months, and the cost for filing is going up soon, so getting started ASAP is critical. All money collected will be used for this purpose. $535 is the cost of the paperwork that starts the process, but the total cost is $1,400, and any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Here is the breakdown of paperwork costs for immigration into the United States:

Family Sponsorship Form (I-130) - $535.00

Financial Support Form (I-864) - $120.00

State Department Processing - $325.00

USCIS Immigrant Fee - $220.00

Medical Exam in Philippines - $200.00

Total Cost - $1,400
