Fraud wife being removed from US

[Laser1 63]

I see no question that the two divorces will be honored, and that your marriage will be validated. About your divorce, if you are concerned about you assets, why not wait until after she is deported to file for divorce? It seems like it would be much harder for her to go after your assets then, and she may accept a quicker settlement. You can probably keep them all if you manage to get a divorce in absentia.

What is she going to get anyway with such a short marriage?

But I would wait until she has gone, presumably she will not have the dosh to cough up for a lawyer.

Short marriage? we were married for 14 years. She has a very expensive lawyer, that I am paying for.

Some of you might remember my topic from a couple months ago but here it is: http://www.visajourn...amous-marriage/

Basically, she was married in the Philippines in 1982, hid that marriage, married US Citizen#1 in 1991, came to the US. Divorced both Philippine Citizen and US Citizen #1 and married me, US Citizen #2. I never knew the facts until 2010.

Well, on January 13, the immigration judge ordered her removal. We are still in divorce proceedings and I am now wondering if once she goes back to the philippines, and since the Philippines does not recognize divrce, does her original marriage to the Filipino supercede our US marriage? How can she be both married to the Filipino in the Philippines and to a US Citizen in the US? Do I even need to obtain a divorce? Yes, I have a lawyer.

Congratz, OP. Now just wait for the usual suspects here to chime in and say, "You can't just send her back to the store like a pair of pants that don't fit." Yes you did.

Here's to your new fresh start! Good luck on all that follows!
