. I am a Filipino national working in Hong Kong for over 4 years. I processed my divorce here in Hong Kong. What will I have to show to the embassy? Just my divorce decree from here? Or do I need a cenomar also from the Philippines?

Being you are processing the K-1 in HK I don't know that they will ask for a CENOMAR, besides you do have your divorce decree.

I would follow the requirements in the embassy instructions letter for there in Hong Kong.
