K1 and Recognition of Foreign Divoce

[Daryle & Rona 0]

Hello all,

I am in need of direction concerning my issue. I have been previously married to a Filipina Citizen. We are now divorced here in the US and I have started a Recognition of Foreign Divorce petition.

 

I would like to know if I would have to wait for that to be completed before applying for a K1 for my finance?

 

Thank you in advance,

Daryle

If your divorce has been finalized in the US, you may file the I-129F for your fiancee, assuming you satisfy the petition requirements.  No need to wait for the completion of the recognition of divorce.

Thank you for responding Chancy, I guess I am not required to provide a singleness (Cenomar) for a K1 visa? May I ask how you know?

 

Thanks Again!

Were you born in the Philippines and spent at least 1 year in the PH as an adult?  If not, you are not required to submit your (the USC petitioner's) CENOMAR for your fiancee's K1 visa application.

 

If you were born in the PH and lived in the country as an adult, you may submit your CEMAR (Advisory of Marriage) listing your previous marriage, along with your final divorce decree from the US.
