I hear you, I am just surprised someone would come out on public forum and admit the engaged in corruption.  I figured it was against the rules here : " Condone or instruct, either directly or indirectly, others on how to commit fraudulent or illegal immigration activities in any way, shape, manner or method"

Or admit that "catting around" is a priority when they are on a US immigration support sight...LOL

That is their personality flaw and how many are in jail?

 

When did I say they can get married again in the Philippines.  Having children doesnt require marriage.  My wife's sister bus still married to a man she hasn't seen in 18 years.  She has kids with other men and he has kids with other women.  Neither was ever arrested for adultery and they are still married to each other.

You must be lost or I am lost:  "When did I say they can get married again in the Philippines"  What are you talking about here?

I just report what I see, I was hanging around Jose Cuervo bar on Burgos street and having a few frozen margaritas each night as a nightcap and just sit back and watched what was going down, chatted with a handful of forgieners who were spending a few days in the area before heading off the to the province to visit their gf/wife.

Never heard in my life that both parties can agree to seperate or and get married again in the Philippines, that information is false.

This.  I never said they can get married again so this is not false.  They can't unless they get an annulment.  People separate everyday there so that part is true.  So people do agree to separate all the time.  That is VERY common there.

And how many of those guys were arrested for adultery, which was you original premise.  Zero?  None?  Yes, the Philippines has some of the most beautiful women in the world and the sex trade is as strong there as anywhere.  I still haven't heard many stories of people catting around and getting arrested for adultery.  But, I do have to admit, if that happened then bribery would probably be the common outcome.  It isn't perfect there but it also isn't any worse than any other country.

Biggest issue in my opinion once you get married you are on record in Philippines as married, you go back to PI catting around, or after divorce and your wife or x-wife or their family call cops on your for adultery, then here you go to jail.

Maybe someone planning on "catting around" on his wife or anticipating a divorce should not get married in the first place. 

 

That would be an interesting conversation with your fiancé..."Hey baby, I don't want to get married in the Philippines because if I want a divorce or feel like catting around I could end up in jail"

I am not sure why you are including me on this subject.

 

I agree 1000% people get seperated all the time, it's quite common for a guy to have two families as well, but I am sure you know this.

My best friend was charged for adultery, settled before case got to court but he was born and lives in the Philippines.

That is why I asked since you said cheaters are arrested for adultery.  I've never heard that as being as common as you seemed to think it was.  Maybe just a communications breakdown but there are no challenges getting married in the Philippines and it is an awesome place to do that.  I was wondering what challenges you saw getting married there as we had none and the wedding was awesome.  It is a great option for people who may be interested in doing that.  It does take time as there is a 10 working day delay for the marriage license to become active.  I made two trips since I didn't have enough PTO.

And while you are at it you can also look up birds don't exist and the earth is flat.  Sorry if one arrest doesnt make me rethink my marriage there or that it should influence and US citizen who wished to marry there.  We obviously don't know the whole story and we never will.  Still, there is no reason for anyone to rethink marrying in the Philippines.  There are silent readers who may be influenced by your comments when they shouldn't.  So I will concede this point.  Don't go to the Philippines just to cheat on your partner.  You can upset their family and they may have connections.  If you plan on marrying your true love, there are very few places as beautiful and friendly as the Philippines as that marriage location.

Biggest challenge getting married in the Philippines for me was it took too long to get my fiance to the USA.  Approval times was running 30 days for NOA2 for a K1, Spousals visa were close to a year to get your fiance to the USA.  It was a no brainer for me which one to choose.  3 to 4 months vs 1 year, it was  no brainer for me.

 

Plus I didn't want to have to go to the US Embassy and get paperwork to say I could marry, then wait so many days, have to attend counciling, probably have to throw a wedding part and slaugher a couple pigs and a cow.  Have to pay some one to feed the cow unti it was slaughter time. I can't stand most of the food in the country, so that would of a been another point.

 

I like to keep things simple, not go thru all the hassel and paperwork that trying to get married in the Philippines would take up.  K1 was the way to go, and it seemed like the guys who didn't have money were doing the spousal to save a few dollars.

I would say probably about 50% of the Fil Am will end in divorce, So you got to play the long game.

You don't need to justify your marriage to me, You do what you do and I do what I do. If your happy then good for you.

 

You just asked me what the risk were and I told you: Remember here is your exact quote : Like what?  "We married there without incidence and I also have two friends who did and one that is planning on it next year. What is the risk?  "

 

You may not like the answer, but it is a risk in the Philippines.

50% is the US average for divorce so they are the same.  That is kind of sad.

 

You definitely were at the right time.  That is when the K-3 was created to help with that discrepancy.  In my case it was 11 months to interview with K-1.  Our CR-1 was 8 months from filing to POE.  We got our green cards sooner by being denied, getting married and refiling the spousal visa.

 

I've heard stories about how quick it used to be.  Congrats on not having to do the 12 to 18 month wait that we see now.

I still don't see a risk that is there and not anywhere else.
