OK supposedly we will receive the decision from the PI court on disillusionment this month. It's been 3 years so far. Met in person almost 4 years ago.

Will the paper work be enough to file for the K-1? or will we have to wait for all government docs to change her name back to family name?

We are having an issue with an address where she lives in Qatar (she is Filipina but working there). Looking into a PO Box will this suffice? Can't use work address. Not sure about address where she lives. I think she doesn't want anyone to know her plans. Ideas?

I am not sure about the annulment process, just know it has to be finalized BEFORE you start the K-1 petition process. Also you need to have met in person WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS, so if you have not been together within the last two years you will need to go visit before you can file.

If you plan on doing the visa process at the embassy in Qatar then using a P.O. boxt there is just fine. For sure she will want to keep things private about what is happening.

Yup waiting on the annulment paper work. Should have soon, but been hearing that for 3 years. Definitley want to keep things private. Just figured the Embassy would want a actual street address.

At the petition stage of this process a P.O. should be more than adequate, they don't mail anything to her.

Not sure how the embassy in Qatar handles things, but I would guess they would only care about a physical address for delivering the visa, unless you arrange to pick it up at a courier location.
