There are quite a few things that the law would require you to do, depending on several relevant factors. You should consult a lawyer therefor.

You would need to file an I-129F as well as an I-134 for her with immigration. You would need to submit the required documents which are listed on the instructions of each form. The process can take anywhere from 6-12 months before she is able to have an interview at the embassy in Manila. After obtaining the visa, you will have 90 days to marry your fiancee once they enter the US. A lot of people apply on their own and I do not recommend that. One mistake you make and the process gets a lot longer. I suggest you hire an immigration attorney.

You will need to file a fiancee petition and establish that you have had a relationship with her for 2 years. It takes about 6 months to get approved. Once she enters the US you have 3 months to marry.

This requires a bit of time to explain. Some may be disqualified from a K1 Fianc visa. Please schedule an appointment or go to www.USCIS.gov for general information.

If you are a US Citizen and wish to petition for your fiance you must complete several forms along with proof that you are a USC, you have visited with her at least one time in the past two years, . that your courtship is real, the she will not be a public charge, and that she doesn't have a contagious disease, among other things. The process will take approximately 6-9 months.
