Hello,

We are confused my Financee (Filipina) was divorced overseas and needs an NBI clearance for the K-1 Visa. She was married to a Filipino so is still legally married in the Philippines because she has not yet processed her Annulment. (she is not Muslim so divorce is not an option for her in Philippines) The form for the NBI clearance asks marital status, she is applying for the clearance from overseas. How should she complete this form as to marital status without causing problems in her K-1 Interview?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Does she have a court copy (certified) of the divorce decree? Will she interview outside of the Philippines? If so the divorce will be recognized.

Answer the question on the NBI form truthfully.

Hi!!! She is not yet annulled? Therefore shes still married to her ex husband. Then on her NBI, shes married.. Thats what she needs to write on the form. But, K1 visa... Both should be free to marry.. How is that possible if shes not yet annulled???? I am afraid you might have some problems later on, coz you need cenomar to prove singleness.

Your Fiancee and her "EX" got a divorce in another country and both are Filipino? She is not processing her visa in the Philippines? Then she is fine.

Status needs to be single.
