Thank you for your input @Ate. I nave read quite a few blogs but it is all mixed up. Has anyone encountered same case as mine? Three things I want to point out if I may.

* Filipina - not dual citizen. That said, I am not holding any other citizenship other than Philippine one as I was not naturalized before my ex husband petitioned for divorce in the UK

* Married in the Philippines

* Applying for K1 Visa in the Philippines - where I am currently residing

 

I have read strories of Filipinas working/residing abroad, granted divorce abroad and filed K1 abroad. I am not sure if this is applicable in my case as I am now in the Philippines and applying here. Also with regards to CFO thing I dnt know if they will issue a CFO sticker for someone like myself who acquired Foreign Divorce abroad. 

1.) You can't apply for a K1 unless you are a US Citizen

The US citizen files the petition.  If the petition is approved, the foreign fiancee applies for the K1 visa.

Thank you @Ate.I was going to say I am the foreign-citizen fiance not the sponsor (my US citizen partner) is @Chris Duffy.

The US Embassy in Manila follows US immigration law, same as US embassies in other countries.  At the K1 visa interview, USEM will accept a foreign divorce decree as valid Proof of Termination of Marriage.

 

As for CFO, bring a copy of your divorce decree and see how it goes.

USEM will ask for a CENOMAR. You will provide them with the CEMAR showing your past marriage + the final divorce decree, showing the termination of the marriage.

No issue....many, many people have done this fine.

Nobody's encountered the same case as yours as every case is unique. But the relevant facts and circumstances with regard to the foreign divorce and a K-1 is not uncommon.

Many thanks! Just wondering how true that aside from getting the Cemar attached with Foreign Divorce Decree one should also have the MC annotated by NSO(now PSA) and bring during the K1 interview in Manila.

First off, PSA do not annotate MC unless I file a Petition for Foreign Divorce Recognition. 

Thought I dnt need to go through the recognition route as Decree Absolute is good to go for K1 visa even when Cemar states still married in Phil. 🤔

No need for any annotations. That's if you want the foreign divorce recognized within the Philippines. It's not needed for US immigration. They recognize the divorce fine already.
