Well, I'm pleased you found my serious question so entertaining, but I am still hoping for a serious answer, preferably from someone who has had the experience: You meet a divorced lady, who came over on a K1 Visa, marries her petitioner, they divorce after 6-12 months because it isnt wedded bliss. This lady has an unsettled immigration status without AOS completed.

So where does this leave this type of lady when she marries another kano? I'm thinking someone in the community here has seen or had this happen. Thanks, gang!

I think, you're talking about yourself.

Yeah, this isn't a hypothetical situation.... this is either a guy who found some woman who got divorced before the AOS was approved, or more likely, a Filipina who is looking for another sucker, errr husband, so she doesn't have to go back.

now its clear. There's some bride churning industry running in phillippines

no wonder, its hard to get visas these days....

My brothers pinay wife's first marriage was a short lived one and she left her 1st husband after no more than 3 months. My brother married her a couple years after her divorce was final (marriage I think was annulled?)... either way she never returned to the Philippines and was allowed to stay. I find myself in a similar situation and plan on talking to immigration attorney on Thursday and also calling my brother in the next day or two to find out what they did to get her to stay--will post what they tell me. She has been here almost 15 years now and is completely legal... actually citizen now. I know he coughed up alot of money in attorney and immigration fees--but in the long run hey it was worth it because they have a fulfilling marriage now.

OK, so it gets frustrating and expensive to search for Pinay in Phils, and do all the waiting, only to find out she was playing games and not serious to me. So, maybe I will try to find Pinay here in US who was brought here, married to kano, and then separate/divorce after a short time.

So, the general question is, how complicated is it (immigration wise, to marry her and make her legal here) to marry a divorced Filipina who is in USA for lets say, 2 years or less, and does not have her immigration status settled here yet. Thanks for you input and experiences. I am a serious guy and only want to find a nice lady and marry her, in spite of the complications of an unsettled immigration status.

I suggest that post should be moved to match.com

well, i would say if you find a woman like that you might get a harder time with immigration than bringing a fresh one yourself, coz' immigration could consider that girl seeking for a fraud marriage for immigration purpose. It's like that girl already has an immigrationally criminal record, it will be harder to earn the USCIS trust again, it could succeed, but it might take years other than 6 months only like other people.

I hate to judge you but i think you are kinda LAZY. don't think easy thing will always be a good thing.

If i were you i will change target to Thai girls, coz' thailand has low record of fraud marriage, things will be easier, and thai women are mostly nice and faithful and they all want green card, lol.

so good luck

Be honest to her and don't take her for granted; and she will do the same in return(generally speaking Filipinas are good women)

You have other option. If you cannot afford to petition a Filipina in the Philippines, you better search her in the US, I'm sure there are plenty of single and available Asian or Filipina women here in US. however I hope you are young, good kind, has a job; and live in your own house. Beause Asian or Filipina women who are already in the US are very selective. nothing wrong with that, just preferences; and all people have one. :)

I meant, of course you can afford to petition a Filipina in PI; but if you don't want to experience a lot of complication in immigration. your option is to find a Filipina here in US. So good luck in your search. hopefully you find what you're looking for.

why don't you target existing filipino populations in the US? i remember from college, there were huge numbers of filipinos living in san diego and southern california in general. maybe there are some filipino websites based here that you can look at, in regards to finding someone compatible to marry? or match.com or something like this? or cultural centers, etc? wouldn't that make your life easier...why voluntarily put yourself through this BS.

theres a bunch.. and they will marry for green card!! :thumbs:

No wonder, they scrutinize hard at the interview in the Consulates. K1 visa is for people who really love each other and want to

stay together for the rest of their lives. There are times when the marriage fall apart. But, older guys seeking a young girl overseas

is like asking for a "sex slave" :ranting:

women often do not understand that what a man wants is not necessarily a "sex slave", but rather, a woman who is not yet "screwed up", broke and bankrupt, in an emotional, social, and economic, and physical sense. men can get themselves together after a divorce, and don't want a woman who can't.

many men, myself included, are not sex maniacs, and yet, somehow, we wind up married to women half our age. what's the crime? we met while i was working in china, became friends, lived together, and got married. we're very happy together. in her country she taught me china. in my country i'm teaching her america.

is her "lack of baggage" part of the reason I married her? sure, you bet.

Excellent way of wording it, You are a Lyrical Genius

Plus, unlike the US, many other cultures are not so hung up on age, physical appearance, and money. For example, it is not uncommon to see 50, even 60-something men with 20-something women. It's a lot more accepted there.

That's another reason why it's great to be a Man

And it proves my theroy:

Woman have two assets: Looks and Sex Appeal - And the older they get they loose them

Man has two assets: Wealth and Power - And the older they get the more they gain these

Damn, It's Good to Be a Man............

In the Philippines the MAJORITY of Filipina Women are married to the Men who are the same age or close to their age atleast.

It is very rare for a Filipina woman who get married to a guy with 19 or 30 years aged gap. unless the guy is rich.

but it is very different when it comes to foreign men, most especially to western men. a lot of these young Filipina are married to these old,fat western men. in fact we can see them everywhere.

there are many reasons why;

---A Filipina who is a single unwed with kids. Filipino men don't want them simply because they don't to raise the kid from other man; besides that single mother often look down there in PI. other reason, if she is old her chances of finding a mate is much lower.

some Filipina are naive and idiolize western men, they want them to have a baby with pale skin etc.

some are married to these fat and old men because simply they are poor and want to scape the poverty back home. Some are simply they fell inlove, the reason why they married western guys.

Now, why these fat and old men want to marrying these young Filipina because:

----Some men want to marrying these Filipina because simply they want a young,sexy wife and it is alot easier to control to have a young wife who is so naive

---Some men want to marrying them because they want a sex slave and a maid

---Some want to marrying them because simply they want a companion who will take care of them

---Some want to marrying them because they want to retire and live in PI

---Some men married to them because they think she will not divorce him and have a long lasting married.

---- No American women want them because they are OLD, FAT and OBESE, AND JERK

----Some marrying Filipina simply because they fall inlove.

Now its up to you where you belong in these categories....you can lie whatever you want. :devil:

It would be really complicated cos as per K1 rules, the visa will be void and they can no longer adjust status if she got separated/divorced from her petitioner while in the process.

However, if I remembered it right during our CFO seminar back in the Philippines, that in some cases, like they were abused by their petitioner, they have the right to remain in the US and apply for another visa or something (I'm not too sure though) as long as proper evidence is presented.
