Want a Divorce From A Three Year Absent Foreign Husband

Thank you for the honest response. Just for information, the only communication that we have is international SMS. I do think that just texting is still marriage.

Marriage is what you make it out to be. It takes two people to make it work.

It sounds like you are already seeing someone else (or plan to "accept the new one", but want to start it right by divorcing first). Everyone deserves to be happy. I'm glad you are doing it the right way, ending your current relationship before starting a new one. This is what you're doing right?

Anyhow, go get an annulment. That's the only thing you can do since he refuses to divorce you. Good luck

Is it possible that I could go to US to file for a divorce even if I have a pending immigrant visa petition? Or at least apply for a visit visa just to divorce my husband.

Even if you could get to the USA and file for divorce, you'd need to establish residency in the location where the divorce is filed and follow their rules. As you've elsewhere stated you'd like to remarry in the Philippines, this still would not work. A Philippine citizen can get a divorce recognised in the Philippines only if its filed by the foreigner. In other words, he still has to file for the divorce. The second step is you need to get that divorce recognized in the Philippines, which is another long process. This will also be denied if you were the one who filed for the divorce, leaving you stuck back at filing for annulment again.
