Thank you all for the reply. I didnt marry the fathers dad in philippines. For now, my husband knows that i am confused with the situation that i have but he said to think about it before making decision. I dont want to hurt my USC husband but i also feel that im not happy anymore.. Im also thinking about my 2 kids coz they have better future here than in philippines. It will be difficult if we will go back to philippines since they are already studying here. Appreciate all your comments.

since your not happy anymore, you dont have to wait for citizenship, JUST LEAVE. if you stay for just that and use ur kids as an excuse that they are studing that #######, your just using your husband and i am sure he doesnt know the whole story. if he did you and your kids would be free to return back home with dad and live happy ever after with out citizenship and after awhile green cards will expire. its someone like you that come to website like this with people busting their humps to bring over their loved ones and your FRAUD ways set everyone back because we have to jump thru more red tape because YOUR A FRAUD.

Yes and I'm biting my tongue on what I think about that side of it. But wanted to point out that a Filipino citizen can get a divorce outside the Philippines legally after it was said they legally cannot. For those with some wealth that live in the Philippines, getting divorced and married in countries outside the Philippines is not uncommon way to get around the no divorce law there.

yes more than likely a troll. But a good troll poster comes back to feed the frenzy.

So I am curious about this... Let's say Filipino citizen becomes USC, so dual citizenship, and then initiates the divorce in US for whatever reason, would Filipino be able to get a CENOMAR even though they are still a citizen and didn't annul the marriage?

Based on Article 26 of the Family Code of the Philippines, “Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall have capacity to remarry under Philippine law.” my guess would be still be no.

My interpretation of this is that the foreign divorce is only recognized if initiated by the foreign spouse. But in the situation of a dual citizenship, it gets really murky...

For all who are judging me thank you for taking time to read and leaving comment. You can say whatever u want but pls dont judge me coz u dont know my story. My husband knows everything.. Its gonna hurt everybody thats why i have to think million times before making decisions.. Thank you again.gotta go back to work..God bless everyone

So your husband knows of your idea of divorcing him after you become USC? Talaga? What are his thoughts about that?

Something you should have thought long and hard about before involving another human being with emotions. Life isn't all about you. When you marry, it's an "us" thing. His feelings deserve more consideration than this. Seems you want your cake and eat it too.

I'm going to stop posting as this has me all twisted emotionally. I just can't even believe what I'm reading.

Well said!

I'm sure your million times thinking is more along the lines of "how can I frame this in my mind so I don't have to feel bad about myself?" Instead of "am I really doing the right thing?" All of my original suspicions have been confirmed.

This kind of post really rubs people the wrong way because we all are working/have worked so hard to be with our loved ones. What you're going to attempt is clear cut immigration fraud. Your actions are the reason legal immigration is harder for the rest of us.

Judging or not, that's why you're getting attacked on here. So if I were you, I'd talk about it with your husband and your kids and leave Visa Journey out of this.

I only mentioned her ex because she said her first marriage to the father wasn't a sham, so I assumed she was married.

I didn't know Filipino's couldn't get a divorce, and here I thought the US had it bad. NY only added no fault divorce the other day so to speak.

I got confused there too... I though she was married to the father of her children (thought that's the first marriage she was talking about)

As far as i know, there's no divorce in the Philippines, but there's annulment of marriage which is, as I see it, worse, because the marriage did not basically happen.
