It will just likely about the same requirements whether you are in the Philippines or in Taiwan.Since you said you are working in Taiwan, take time to consider how long do you still have to work in Taiwan based on your work contract.You may be already back in the Philippines by the time your interview will come.Processing time for K-1 visa range from 8 months to 2 years.If around that time frame you will still be in Taiwan, then it will probably be more convenient for you to have your interview done in Taiwan.You will need to provide though documents from the Philippines like your birth certificate and Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) issued by NSO and an NBI Clearance.

Should I work here in the U.S., or teach in Taiwan?
Hello to all, I am thinking of going to teach english in taiwan. I have graduated with a degree in sociology, and I am stuck working a cubicle job. The money and people are nice, but I feel like I need a change. Any advice is helpful.

It depends on where do you work at this point and whether or not you feel like you are getting the most out of your degree. The choice to do so depends on your situation. Pray through it and see where God wants you to go.

Strange format for a question from someone with a degree in sociology...no details about who you are and yet you are asking for a sociological type recommendation? I am guessing high school student. I recommend you get a real degree in teaching then go to Taiwan.

HAving traveled to taiwan in april of 2008, I would whole-heartedly recommend it! Not just to taiwan but to any country abroad. BUt taiwan changed me. It was such a life-altering experience--everything from the culture to language to food to everything. it was just simply amazing and i think even if it doesn't pay as well it would give you such a neat perspective on life ! good luck!

How good are US relations with Taiwan?
I know that US-China relations arent exactly at its best, but does anybody have any idea of US-Taiwan relations? I am contemplating starting work for a company thats headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan. I just dont want my work experience to looked down on if I were to move to the US later.

The relationship between China and Taiwan is surprisingly good. I'm an ex pat from the USA living in the heart of China. Every year or so they dust off their sabers and rattle them at each other, then put them back and go back to normal trade, tourism and diplomacy. I suspect it is to appease the haters and for Taiwan to get more military bucks from the USA. China claims Taiwan as a province and has threatened to take military action if they claim independence. This has been going on for almost 60 years. At one time this was a real threat, but no longer. Taiwan recently lost a bid for membership in the UN, the UN said they had no legal bounds. Affectively putting the question of Taiwan's sovereignty to bed. As far as the relationship between Taiwan and the USA, it is good. I would not worry about that being a black mark on your resume'. I maybe a little concerned with a Chinese company on my resume', however, consider this. China is a top country for the west to invest in. It is not a good idea to measure a countries health on what talking heads and governments say, but rather how much investment in the countries future is. China has a very stable government and society, so for business, it is a safe long term bet for investment. Therefore, any company that has any experience in the far east would understand the above and probably look at you as an asset. Peace Jim .
