I am not sure I understand.. are you saying a US citizen man has a wife, and is now petitioning for another wife/ fiancee from the Philippines, and the first wife wants to stop the visa from being approved? If the wife is a current wife, that is bigamy. She needs to send USCIS and the embassy proof she is still married and they will not grant a visa to the second wife/ fiancee. If the first wife is now an ex, there is nothing she can do. Having cheated on wife 1 with wife two before the divorce does not stop a visa from being granted.

I think what the OP is saying is that the 2nd woman is a mistress and this mistress has evidence that could jeopardize the visa at the US embassy. What I don't get is if the wife is the USC or it is the husband that is the USC filing for his wife, a mistress appeared, confronted & threatened the wife's future in the US and as such the wife is trying to intimidate/stop the mistress from submitting the evidence.

Bophany either way, one civilian cannot simply prevent another civilian from entering the embassy. Not sure how it works in the country the visa process is taking place but civilians without an appointment or proper documenation can't just waltz into the Embassy. What the 2nd woman needs to do is submit a scanned copy of the proof + the husband's and or the wife's name via email to the US embassy.

The man cannot petition for a fiance if he is still married. However long it takes him to get a divorce final, is however long it will take him to petition for his next wife to be.

I was away off.

Anyway if the wife submits proof that she is not divorced from her husband then no visa for the fiance. One requirement of the Fiance visa (K1) is both the applicant and the petitioner must be 'free to marry'.

The wife can't block the fiance from entering the embassy but she can get the petition pulled and then no visa for the fiance until her USC married boyfriend divorces his wife.

Tell your friend her boyfriend needs to divorce his wife before she can be petitioned. When I say divorced I mean the papers are signed NOT in the process of a divorce.

The wife can't "block" the girl. However, she could cause the embassy to look into the husband still been married while starting to see another woman - IE the woman being petitioned for if that will be the path they're on in the future. Depends on the country of origin and if they see is as a red flag to have a girlfriend(well, fiancee, the way you put it) while being married. If they know of such information and they care about it, you better come prepared. In fact, you'd better wait considering petitioning until being legally divorced. Even then, again depending on the embassy, tread carefully. Especially if the current wife was also petitioned for.

The husband can't petition a fiancee when he's married/seperated anyways.

Thank you so much,really appreciated your inputs, I will tell this to my friend..She was just afraid about the "block term" coz the wife insisted that if she will block her meaning she cant go out anymore or forever outside the country, not to this countrys guy but who knows in the future if Gods permit..

Basically your question is how easy is for a wife to stop her husband (who shes in the process of divorcing, so they are still technically married) from filing a petition and obtaining a fiance visa for another woman.

I would say not very difficult. Theyre not simply going to halt his petition based on a phone call, because anyone can make a fraudulent phone call. But if she was to contact them by phone they would provide her with a fax or email or address to submit documentation showing she is still legally married to him, which would make his petition invalid. He would subsequently lose whatever fees he paid as they are nonrefundable and after his divorce is final hed have to attempt to petition again.

Yeah, Thank you for this..actually the wifes origin country was the same with the girl, so sounds really a hard situation....

Thank u, about filling visa was not yet happened that was just a plan....I have some sight in here How long was divorced finalized?

Since the wife and the girlfriend are from the same country there could be problems but I don't think there will be.

Let your friend know that the day her boyfriend is divorced, he can refile for a Fiance visa the next day. She NEEDS to be prepared to answer questions on her boyfriend's marriage just in case they interrogate her on the marriage and why was the boyfriend engaged to her (your friend) while still married to his wife.

If your friend does get her visa while her boyfriend is still married and immigration authorities find out, your friend is highly likely to have her greencard taken away, deported (kicked out of the US) and banned (prevented) from coming to the USA again...EVER!!! Because what she and her boyfriend did would be VISA FRAUD.

Divorce timelines vary. How fast it takes to finalize a divorce depends on how many assets a couple shares and how soon the couple comes to an agreement on who gets what. Some divorces take a few weeks and some take a few years.

^I agree. Theres no way to know how long the divorce is going to take.

And the above poster is correct, if he files a fiance petition quickly after his divorce is final, they may question her about it, however it doesnt mean the petition will be denied. its just something the person conducting the interview will look at and possibly question her about.

As for the whole his wife is going to 'block this'. Once they are divorced she can not block anything. He will be free to do anything he wants, including petition another woman on a K1 visa from the same country.
