Timeline

18 years ago I married a woman from Romania.

it’s was a K3 visa I married her in Romania. Sadly after 9 years and two kids it ended in divorce.

Fast forward to 2015 I married a woman from the phillipines it was a K1 fiancee visa. Sadly after 7 years and one child it ended in divorce.

First divorce ended due to infidelity on my wife’s part. Second divorce she asked me for the divorce to move to alabama to live with her sister. I know your only allowed 2- K1 visas in a lifetime without a waiver. Since technically my first marriage was K3 and my second K1. Would I be able to do a K1 again without a waiver?

Also I understand there is no limit on marriage visas. Please help. Thank you.

No biggie, and odds are slim to none it will be brought up in K1 Interview in Manila.

Wrong.  

YMMV

Wrong.  

Item Numbers 5.a. - 5.d. Multiple Filer Waiver Request. You must request a waiver of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) filing limitations if: 1. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e) and you previously filed Form I-129Fs on behalf of two or more fiancé(e) beneficiaries; or 2. You are filing this petition on behalf of your fiancé(e), you have previously had a Form I-129F approved, and less than two years have passed since the filing date of your previously approved petition.

👍

The above applies to fiance's not spouses.  This is only the second time for a fiance(e) and it has been more than two years.  No waiver required. 

YMMV
