Hello everyone!

I had a question and I hope somebody in here have the same problem about my American friend. My American friend married before to a Filipino but their marriage its not working so they end up of divorced, a Filipina filed divorced to American but the sad part the Filipina filed also of restraining order to American re: Domestic Violence, but honestly the American guy never put his hand to that women. Oh well.. but they already divorced last year coz the incident happened year 2012 after the Filipina got her 10 years GC. It sad but that's true. I am a Filipina also but I want to help my American friend coz I know his innocent.

My American friend meet a girl from the Philippines again, that would possible to petition her even though had case happened in his previous marriage?

What is the best way he do, married in the Philippines so he can petition her as CR-1 or K1 visa?

Guys, I need your help and advice.

Thank you so much.

You complete me...I love you so much my husband.. YOU and ME FOREVER...

As of now, K-1 = much more expensive but shorter wait; CR-1 = less expensive but much longer wait. I chose K-1 because time is invaluable to me. With K-1, I can buy a few more months to 1 year of waiting time with money. So it is a no brainer. Assuming I can live up to 80 years, 1 more year of waiting = 1.25% of my life time wasted. Which way to go is up to you though.

He can file either or but he better get ready to be scrutinized about the domestic violence in his record,assuming its on his record.

He will have to let his new filipina know about all the circumstances surrounding that domestic violence lncident.
