Interview Closing.. Need Help! Confused!

[merkin&regine 18]

To all VJ's.

Our situation here is that... I am the petitioner and came to US via CR1 about 11 yrs ago coz I was Married to a fellow Filipina who was an American Citizen and our Marriage took place in the Philippines. To make the story short, our Marriage didnt work out and got divorced finalized this year after 10 + yrs of rollercoaster Marriage., although we've been separated since late 2009. By the time we were divorced, we both are american citizen. Then last september 2010, I met a wonderful girl in the Philippines while I was vacationing and fell in love with her. so then, right after the divorce from my x wife was finalized mid this year, I did file the I-129F and just got approved last week. We are now preparing for the interview but my concern is that, would the US embassy in the Philippines look over my marriage that took place in the Philippines as it is not recognized yet in the Philippines? But it's legally ended in US through a divorce decree. We both can freely get married in US.. this is for sure but not in the Philippines until we file the recognition of our divorce. Do you guys think this would be a hindrance from giving my filipino fiance a K1 visa?

Do we have any situation here that's similar to mine? Pls help us for us to prepare for documents need on my fiance's interview. Thank you so much....

No problem. Philippine law for marriage no longer applies to you because you are now USC and in the eyes of US law, you are free to remarry.

As long as your fiancee is legally single, then no other issues.

you have the divorce decree it should be all fine. as long as you are legal;ly divorced and have all the necessary documents to prove that then you're good to go.. and no this wouldn't be a barrier for your fiancee to have her us visa so nothing to be worried about

Yeheyyyy! Sounds good! You just took out a heavy burden on my head now.. I hope this is really true but legally it is quite right.. I'm just afraid that this could block our petition and Yup! My fiancé is legally single and can easily get a CENOMAR..

Thank you so much for your reply.. Any opinions on my case is greatly appreciated.. I want to hear all sides..

Yohooo! Thank you.. Replies are very promising so far and Yup! I do have a valid divorce decree and I sent it with my I-129F application.. USCIS have it already and they know that it's legitimate as the petition is already approved..

Thank you so much for your prompt replies.. You guys are stress reliever..

There is nothing anyone can disagree with based on what you posted. You're a US citizen filing a K-1 petition for your Filipina fiancee. Under US law, with your divorce decree, you are free to marry, Philippine law has no bearing on you in this case.

Stop worrying, the stress is not good.
