One of them wants to petition her fiance in the phils. under k1 petition,should the petitioner(US citizen)file for annulment here in the phils since hes already a US citizen and filing for k1 petition?

He is a USC, so he can file for a divorce here in the USA. One can get a divorce anywhere as long as the country where it is filed allows divorce.

Hope that helps.

The question wasn't "Can they get a divorce?" It was regarding the fact the The Philippine Government doesn't recognize divorce for a Philippine Citizen and how that would impact a Filipino who is now a USC but divorced filing a K-1 for a Filipino.

The answer is that since they have naturalized the Philippine Government will accept the now USC as single due to divorce.

hi,

what your friends can do is, have their divorce decree recorded in the NSO and they will be fine
