I can't really understand what you're saying, but she needs to be your fiancee and not your girlfriend for the K1.

[lost_at_sea 995]

+1 to confusing.

You need to be free to marry for the K1, and you need to intend to marry your girlfriend (so, you might want to, like, ask her to marry you...).

Divorce is illegal in PI, so the OP is saying he got married in PI and divorced in the USA. PI will not recognize his US divorce, so he is asking about the rules. This question is a better asked in the PI forum.

I think what you mean is you got married here in the Philippines and also there in the US with the same woman. If you are divorced now in the US I think you need to get an annulment of your marriage here in the Philippines. Good luck!

He doesn't need to file for annulment. Philippines will honor the divorce papers done in US. OP should send a copy of it to Philippine NSO.

So if they get married here and got divorced in the US they will honor it here?

Only if he's a USC (which I assume he is). If the OP was a Filipino then he would need an annulment.

As long as she has the document (with translation) that lists her name change. She's supposed to have that anyway.

No need to change all her documentation back to her maiden name. Just provide a copy of the document that shows her legal name change. I am the USC and when I petitioned for my husband(then fiance) I just added a copy of the certificate from my previous marriage to show why my name was different than the one on my birth certificate. It states to do so in the I-129F instructions. Do not forget to provide a copy of her annulment papers too.

we got married in the PI Before. am a filipino citizen but now im USC.. we divorced but our marriage is existing in NSo office. Am planning to file fiancee visa for my fiancee in PI.. what happen if i file the fiancee visa while my marriage in PI is still existing...

[Oregon Bound 30]

If you are not free to marry you can not file for a fiance visa.

[Penguin_ie 5,997]

**** Moving from K1 to Philipines regional forum as the recognition of foreign divorce issue is country specific ****

Where did you get divorced? Who petitioned for divorce, you or your ex? If you, was it before or after you became a US citizen?

[biaobiao 40]

I think you do need to have your married annulled in PI. If I am not mistaken, you got married in Pi first then it got honored in US.

Try going to the embassy and submit your divorce papers.. If there is such thing as report of of marriage. maybe there is also some policies regarding divorce or annulment... Just maybe...
