Filipina filed for divorce

[Pinay Wife 47]

Of course, USCIS does care of her first marriage. It's not caught yet because they're not the once who issued the visa it's the embassy. Big problem here I think, is when she apply for NATURALIZATION...a lot of cases happened to that already I just read one a week ago. USCIS didnt find out years later until the filipino filed a NATURALIZATION, faced legal consequences and chose deportation instead of legal battle to avoid further headaches.

Hannah, nydvo declared her first marriage and her Alien # in the I-129F petition and her bio-sheet. Paanong hindi makikita ng USCIS yun eh naka-declare sa mismong application nya? Hindi naman siguro bulag ang USCIS para hindi makita yun di ba? Tapos sa interview nya, tinanong din siya about her first marriage ng consul. Sa palagay mo makakalusot siya sa consul kung palagay ng consul she broke the law?

I'm not discouraging her, I'm just telling the legal system of our govt. You talked like I'm ignorant in our law. Read the FAMILY CODE of the Philippines so that you can get my point straight. I didnt discourage her, in fact Im honestly happy that she found her real happiness. USCIS does not issue the visa it's the embassy, therefore she's just new here and her files are not yet completely entered in the USCIS masterdatabase in KENTUCKY, therefore USCIS does not completely know her original marriage history. Like I said before in my other post, it happened to some filipinos like that and they entered US with no problems. Years later, USCIS found that out and they faced legal consequences.

Iba-iba ang case ng mga tao. Each case is unique. Marami din nag-discourage kay nydvo noon na hindi siya mabibigyan ng visa dahil nga daw she was the one who initiated the divorce but where is she now? Nandito na ulit sa US (congrats ulit nydvo). And eto na naman, may nagdi-discourage na naman sa kanya.

Nydvo, pag dating ng naturalization mo, please post ulit dito like you did nung nakuha mo yung visa mo to prove the others wrong.

But don't get me wrong, tama ka na hindi talaga recognized ang divorce kung Pinoy ang nag-initiate pero that is only true kung sila ay ikinasal sa Philippines. Kung sa ibang bansa sila kinasal, hindi na saklaw ng batas natin yun.

WRONG...READ THE FAMILY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

[ruby_7 45]

WRONG interpretation based on our FAMILY CODE of the PHILIPPINES. However, I'm very glad she find her real happiness now...God is really good to you.

[ruby_7 45]

Regardless of her location of marriage occured, as long as she is a filipino citizen she has to abide our legal system. That's why she can't get help from our Philippine embassies here in US because it equates inadmittance of wrongful action done by the filipino citizen.

It is not my intention to make you feel that you are ignorant of the law. I am not a lawyer but I have been reading the Civil Code and Family Code of the Philippines since 2000. Although I don't claim to be an expert, I feel that I have gained enough knowledge to know what I am talking about.

It would be impossible for USCIS not to know about the first marriage because it was declared in the second I-129F petition that was submitted to the USCIS.

Okay, I give up. Your interpretation is correct then.

Nydvo and her first husband were married in the US, under US laws. Walang kinalaman ang Philippine law doon sa unang kasal nya dahil hindi saklaw ng Philippines ang US laws. So even if she was the one who initiated the divorce, walang magagawa ang Philippines doon kasi sa US siya kinasal. Even if she reported the marriage to NSO, US laws pa rin ang may saklaw sa kasal nya at hindi Philippine law.

Nydvo, don't listen to the negative stuff here. The USCIS, NVC, US Embassy and CFO are not ignorant of the law. You did all the right things and no one can take away your visa from you.

To Hannah, please explain yung tanong ni godsgift, anong marriage contract and ia-annul ni nydvo? No Philippine court has the authority to annul a marriage contract that was solemnized in the US.

Kaya nga dapat i-pursue balik yung divorce bill before, kc kawawa yung mga abused spouse natin doon sa Pinas... Too religious kc ung country natin eh...Pro time has changed, they need to pass new bills/laws to adapt to the changing environment or culture especially nowadays....I really agree for a divorce law to be approved in the Philippines lalo in this present times.

[ruby_7 45]

Read the FAMILY CODE it has been answered already from other preious posting, she cited you that. It seems it's hard for you to understand what she stated before....The explanation is there, you just can't get it through... Ini-explain na yan, pabalik-blik pa....Hay naku....we should all be happy now that NYDVO find her real happiness

Hindi sa walang saklaw ang Phil govt. sa US laws, the fact here is that she is a filipino citizen and she is bound the legal rules of our country. Kya nga idini-deny cya nang help sa pHIL. embassy natin kc wrongful act/unlawful under our FAMILY CODE OF CONDUCT ung ginawa. Eh, lahat naman tayo nagkakamali ah, sino bang hindi. Eto namang Philippine embassy, akala mo kung sino, kya nga nagliparan na mga kababs natin dahil kulang tayo nang suporta. Instead of denying her of help, they should have advised her some legal ways para maituwid ung mga mali..

to nydvo: sis u come here in phil. and go to a phil. lawyer and tell that u had a 1st marriage in u.s.a but u didnt register it here in nso.... and now u want an annulment...

[ruby_7 45]

You're so slow of comprehension I think. Your making fun of me...You know what, ignorance of the law excuses no one. Obviously you don't understand our FAMILY CODE what it says....SHE IS SUPPOSED TO REPORT HER PRIOR MARRIAGE. But she didn't do that, that's why she is denied of embassy help from our govt. because of what she unlawfully did, cant you get this point?

I don't judge her badly because of her past, she just went in the wrong direction. She asked advice and comments and the posters here are just responding the honest answers about our govt. system. If you study some law subjects and read the family code in our country when you were in college or even if u didnt go to college and read the code, ma GETS mo yung point. But it's useless to explain to you because you're soo slow...U asked nga someone here pabalik-balik in your postings sinagot nya pro d mo pa rin na gets and still you asked same answer to her...read back the postings....God Bless to you NYDVO! Congrats to your new good man!

to nydvo: sis u come here in phil. and go to a phil. lawyer and tell that u had a 1st marriage in u.s.a but u didnt register it here in nso.... and now u want an annulment...

Let's just be happy for NYDVO as she had been through a lot. She is in the US now she's under US Law. When time comes to apply for Citizenship she'll just have to submit her Divorce Decree and her husband's (if any), didn't violate any laws and she'll be okay. They do background checks before they approved any Visa at the Embassy and she was honest about everything in the past that's why she is here in the US!
