Good day,

 

My live in partner for 14 years is now in the US and we are now planning to get married in HK after she got hold of her greencardI. I am still considered married here in the Philippines from my ex wife because our marriage was not yet annuled. But I have  secured an Apostilled Final Divorce Decree and divorce record from the US. My ex wife divorced me in  2002, she was still a Filipino citizen at that time. 

 

Some of my concerns were already answered 2 years ago and still have a few :)

 

1.) Upon acquiring her greencard, can she travel back in the Philippines anytime (she arrived in the US last Dec 14, 2016)? How long can she stay?

2.) How many original marriage certificate should I secure? Should it  be apostilled? Notarized? I might have a hard time getting it when I return in the Philippines. 

3.) Does anybody know and recommend any civil celebrant/ marriage registry in HK?

 

Many thanks guys.

1)  Yes, not more than a year (make sure to file an I-131 regarding this long of time).  6 months without issues.

You have a certified copy of the divorce decree from the U.S. ?   You are good to go anywhere but in the Philippines ;)  

 

If you are talking for the visa process, you might need 3 certified copies of your new marriage certificate; USCIS, NVC and USEM.  Some are happy with copies of the certified original., but no harm in a few extra just in case, being they won't be easy to get later.

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!
