Recognition of Fiancés Divorce

[BOKURAGAITA 101]

Helly VJs! 

 

My fiancé (usc) was married before in Phi, Pastor ceremony, processed Spousal visa and got divorced in US in 4 yrs.

 

You can educate me on this since i have no idea what is going on. 

 

Me and my fiancé is in K1 process (interview stage wait) and he wants us to get married also in the Phi when his Recognition is done. 

 

We hired a lawyer, we paid the atty's fee and all the documents are ready to file (delayed due to covid) now once its filed how long do we need to wait from posting it (bulletin) until its ready/done from the court.?

 

Will it be a problem if my fiancé cannot take oath or appear one of the hearings because of travel restrictions? Is there any other way? 

 

Thank you and Godbless!

You can NOT get married in the Philippines if you are processing a K-1 visa.    K-1 is for getting married in the USA only!!  

 

If you get married in the Philippines you can kiss your K-1 visa good-bye, then you can start over with the IR/CR-1 visa process.

I forgot to mention that WE are not planning to marry in the Philippines while Processing our K1 ofc we cannot marry while Processing that talking about two years from now. 

 

A wedding in US for K1 and another church wedding in the Phi like 2 yrs from now.

You don't need the recognition of divorce for "later" as that isn't an actual wedding (you will already be married in the USA), that will simply be a renewal of vows ..  No documentation.

What is the point of hiring an attorney for this process?

 

What can be benefited from this?

I only asked  because we are supposed to get married in Phi first but his status in Phi is married "still" to his ex wife.

 

They may be divorced in US but he's still married here. Im confused, sooo confused.

We asked an atty because i thought he knew the law or knoews what to do. 

 

Especially his ex wife is acting like a filipina version of "karen".

You're DO-DO ing all over the place.    

 

You are not, ACTUALLY, getting married in the Philippines.  

 

Total waste of time, money and brain cells to get the recognition of divorce.

We paid before we file our petition. That is a mistake, i admit. 

Yes its stressful knowing we do not know what to do. It's fine not to have a church wedding but a renewal then the problem we cannot owned a property because he's legally married. 

 

Thank you.

As was said, getting the divorce recognized is not going to affect your ability to buy property or his inability. The bigger concern is that the Karen could file charges of adultery against you and I suppose bigamy against him unless he is divorced. Sounds like the recognition is something you would need a lawyer for. It's not really visa related, other than other people working on visas might have faced the problem.
