My wife is a naturalized american now . But she never petitioned me as her husband, until we were separated due to our indifferences and long distance relationship, but we never had a legal separation.

QUESTION :

Can i still process my papers here locally without my wife`s approval? What would i do to process my documents needed?

locally = which city ?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

You cannot self petition as a spouse of a USC. Your spouse must petition for you.

Here in manila Philippines! Would that still be possible since i dont have aany communication with y wife for 3straight years?

No it is not. She would have to petition for you to be with her. The CR-1/IR-1 visa is a family unification visa, therefore it requires the US citizen to petition for their spouse to join them in the USA. Being the spouse of a USC gives you no special rights to come on your own.

OK - location is important.

When you wrote this:

I think you already have a plan.

So - what is your plan?
