Hello, 

 

I hope everyone is doing well. 

I am planning to go home to PH by December. I am a US citizen and my fiancee and 2 kids (not his) are in PH. we are planning to get married when I get home. It is the first time that we will meet in person but we have known each other for 13 years. We just lost contact because of our circumstances when we were still teenagers.  

 

**Please do not judge us on hurrying or we need to know more of each other. We already know that. WE ARE SURE**

 

since we are getting married on our first meeting, it might raise redflags and i know for a fact that we can prove that our relationship is real. My kids know him and he is very well accepted them. 

 

We are planning to get married virtually also vie WebWed after we get married in PH. 

 

I know it's not a "valid" marriage and the marriage on PH is the only that thing that can be recognize by USCIS. 

 

Just want to know your thought about getting married twice and if on some sort, what's the best thing to do.

Once you are married and qualify to receive a marriage certificate from PSA, you are married.  Anything you do after that is just a ceremony, not marrying twice.  No problem doing that at all, but the WebWed is not marrying.  It's just a ceremonial thing.  To seek a second marriage license and legal marriage to the same person would be fraud, as you would both need to state you are unmarried when you ARE married already.

 

As an afterthought, I advise against trying to go around any of the Philippine marriage licensing requirements, particularly the ten day waiting period once you've fulfilled all the other requirements.  You've looked into all that, right?

Yes we had. I'm going to stay for a month in ph. Planning to get married the last week so we can enjoy the first few weeks with our kids. 

 

So doing WebWed is totally fine? It won't affect the marriage we do have in ph and CR1 application afterwards?

Any ceremony you have separate and distinct from your one and only actual marriage, is not only fine, but need not even be mentioned.  Married is married.  The PSA marriage certificate is what you need.
