[cristeta 0]

We were married May 2007 in civil and in chruch my husband filed a spouse visa petition last january 2008 however our application was pended last november 26, 2008 during my interview because my husband did not provide the right information about his marriages and divorce and documents were missing.. They gave me INA 221g to provide the divorce papers.. He has three marriages prior to me and IM the fourth wife.. After one year He cannot provide the divorce paper to his first wife.. Her stepmom already checked their records in California but there were no records found.. And last week I received a letter from the embassy that I should come on December 14, 2009 for personal explaination of ineligibility of visa classification.. I dont know how im going to explain everything for in the first place my husband should be the one to explain.. It'r really hard on my part for we dont have any communications at all.. and i found out that my husband is seeing somebody in the US and anywhere.. If they refused me am I not qualified anymore for other application and what about our marriage here in the Philippines what will happen? I need advice for this don't know whom shall i seek an advice.. thank you and godbless

Sorry but it's VERY difficult to understand what you are trying to explain.

as i understand you need to go to USEM manila and bring those missing documents stated on the 221g you received last november 26, 2008. as it is stated on that form that you need to bring any documents ask in that form before 1 year and in your case it's more than one year so they gave you the chance for another interview to explain your case..and you will know the decision after it.. as you don't have the divorce papers that one of the missing documents then i will assume they can't give you the visa even you will explain to them about it..and proof of communication is needed too so it will be a problem if you don't have any for the past year...hope this helps

very sorry to hear about your situation. I wish I could give you good advice, but I am not qualified to do that. I know they won't approve a visa without certified copies of the divorce papers. Your husband should been able to get a certified copy from the court house....actually you could get a copy too. It's a public record and open to anyone . I am not sure about the area he lives, but in my area you can even search online and see the divorce cases. I would think you could get a marriage annulment if that is what you want to do.

God will be with you

I' ve already checked on that via online and we found out that there's no divorce records under their name.. and the prob is my husband doesn't tell the truth.. my husband told me that the first wife was the one who filed for the divorce but when I spoke to the first wife she told me that my husband the one who filed for it,,, no copies can be found and they dont wat to admit whats really true.. I really dont know if the divorce was finalize..

Thank god you aren't pregnant. Have hubby divorce you in the US and move on with your life. If you have the money to file for an annulment in PI it sounds like you should do so. If hubby will pay for it all the better.

There is NO chance USEM will approve you without proof of his being single or proof you have a bonafide marriage which according to you you don't have.

I already asked him to file for a divorce but he just say yes to me but no actions on it.. Its expensive to file for an annulment here in P.I and its gonna be my burden...

If his first marriage never ended in a divorce, then he could not legally marry you. Therefore you are not eligible for a visa. Furthermore, he is a bigamist. Your marriage to him is not valid because he was not free to marry you. You will need a court to render your marriage null and void due to the fact that he never divorced his first wife.

[Scott and Mhay 57]

That was what i was thinking....he wasnt eligiable to marry you. I am wondering if he could go to jail for making a false affidavit at the embassy...or did he not do that for the legal capcity to marry? Of course you would need proof that he was ineligable to marry you. Too bad you dont know anyone in his area to go to the courts to look at the files.

So if he never divorced his first wife, how is it he got married 2 other times? Something isnt adding up here with his story.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

They usually don't check divorce papers when you go to marry in the states. It is actually easier than you think to marry multiple wives ( or husbands)

If you know the county in which the divorce was filed, you can write to the clerk of courts. Check for them online, and they may have their fees for obtaining the documents online.

As for the rest....I really don't know how to advise you. Sounds like you are in a real mess, and I'm sorry.

If you know his ex-wife's name before their marriage, you can request a certified " Record of Divorce" ! This is not a copy of the divorce, only a record that a divorce was legally recorded for the specified couple. You should be able to pull up the state where he said the divorce occurred and search for the State's Vital Records Department or Public Health Department. You will need to have his complete name, his ex-wife's name before their marriage, and the date of divorce! Do not worry if you do not know the exact divorce date, the state will search using the names first, then date. I think the state searches in 3 year increments for the record, so a close date of the divorce is usually sufficent. All states are required to keep and maintain Vital records so you should find a record of divorce if he is truly divorced. The fee for the search is small, I paid $ 15.00 USD for a record of my first divorce. I am sorry you are going thru all this heartache, but I hope this will help you answer your question about his previous divorces!

I read this again, and it seems to me that the embassy is going to explain to you why you are ineligible for the visa, I do not think they are expecting you to explain his actions or inaction to provide the requested documents. I would ask the embassy about possible ways to correct the damage he has done already by his failure to be honest with you and the USCIS by submitting incomplete or false information! If he is not legally divorced from his first wife, he is guilty of three counts of bigamy that you know of and possible fraud by not disclosing his legal marital status when he married you and submitted the I-130 petition! I know the I-130 form asks the petitioner about previous marriages and divorces so he should have been truthful then! Good luck!!

Her stepmom did the inquiry at the county of sacramento and there were no divorce records were found.. I'm a victim here of his lies and deception.. he did not declare to the embassy that he has three marriages.On his certificate of legal capacity to marry he has onlyone marriage written on it. He had been dishonest to me eversince we met I've just found out the truth when were married already... hopefully the embassy can hear my side about the wrong information he provide when he was applying for the petition..

[sachinky 465]

From what I understand from your post, it seems to me that the embassy will explain to you why YOU are ineligible for the visa. They aren't looking for explanations from your side.

I'm sorry. Your husband sounds like a real piece of work.
