It's the Philippines, so it's too late to fix this.  The "husband" has committed the crime of Bigamy.  If he shows his face in the Philippines to try to "fix" this, he'll go to jail.  They have zero s

I am not going to file a case for him as a bigamist nor letting him get into jail. It was not his intention to marry 2 wives at the same time. They are not connected anymore in 20 more years with his ex. They have been parted to each other in different states many years ago till now. I never blame him to what happened. We both cooperate to fix these issues. I hope you keep continuing helping us by giving us any suggestions. It will be helpful for and much appreciated. Thank you.😊

 

Have a great day!

We just want our marriage to be valid/legal.

Is there any help for us how to do it? I am thinking of marrying him again in the Philippines after he got his final divorce and we will just let the authorized person see all the legal documents we have then will ask for another marriage license again. 

Is it possible? Is there any experts who can help us here? 

 

Thank you.

Read the first post.  The petitioner thought he could ignore the marriage because it wasn't legal.  He then went to the Embassy in Manila and swore an affidavit notarized by a Consular Officer that left out this marriage.  He then married under Philippine laws.  His Filipina wife is now officially married in the Philippines and he is officially a Bigamist .  When they try to "fix" this, he has to admit to Bigamy (and probably perjury).  When he does, he will be arrested.  He can get out on bail by surrendering his passport but they have sufficient evidence for a judge to sentence him to 3 years in a Philippine prison with no jury trial.

If this couple wants to be together, he will simply need to move to the Philippines and live there or just keep visiting.  If they never try to "fix" the problem, THEN the worst case is that she never comes to the US.  If the relationship ends, she can't remarry in the Philippines without an annulment.

This says it all.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.  Read the post quoted just above this.  If you want to be together, don't fix it.  Be together in the Philippines, when he is financially and otherwise ready to be there with you.  Lots of foreigners do it.  My American and other foreign friends in just the small city of Dumaguete number in the hundreds and range in age from 37 to 77.  Making that happen is far more possible than being together in the USA, for you and your husband.

Might still be some issues in the cracks, but could he divorce his new Pinay wife in the US, and since he would be petitioner, she could file that in the Philippines with the court.  Then wait until its confirmed on reflected on the CENOMAR and remarry her post that?

 

Then again, they would still have to explain the timelines on the application so that may be a mess, even if they did a K1 following a new divorce of her......

The "Material Misrepresentation" would still be there.
