Remove the wait and get married online and change your Process.

Kabayan party-list Rep. Ron Salo files bill seeking to allow “virtual” wedding using video, audio and data transmission devices.

Republic of the Philippines HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Quezon City, Metro Manila EIGHTEENTH CONGRESS First Regular Session House Bill No. 7042

This will allow you to get married online, and start the process of either a CR1 or a 13A to return, since the Philippines has cancelled their SRRV.

Key Take aways:
(1) legal capacity of the contracting parties who must be male and female; and
(2) consent freely given in the presence of the solemnizing officer
(3) Physically being on camera
(4)  WHEN THE MARRIAGE WAS PERFORMED VIRTUALLY, THE CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE MUST BE NOTARIZED PRIOR TO ITS REGISTRATION WITH THE LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRAR TO ENSURE ITS AUTHENTICITY AND DUE EXECUTION, AND TO PROPERLY ASCERTAIN THE IDENTITY OF THE CONTRACTING PARTIES.
(5)  Everything else required to get married in the philippines.

Not valid for US immigration to start the CR-1 process  until you have been together....after the ceremony.

My understanding and I will do more homework. I just found out about it. Is there is already proof of meeting since there is a K1 process already started. 

 

I am likely wrong, and will update after more research

Okay I will edit that one and it works for a 13A visa to enter in and have the post wedding face to face meeting, then will allow for a CR1

Correction: You will need to get a 13A travel to the philippines for post marriage and from there start the CR1. 

 

Thank You for the correct :)

It will also get you into PI on the Balikbayan Visa/Stamp "if" the bill ever passes and becomes a republic act, which looks like a it will be an uphill battle all the way and I don't see it passing.

Per the uscis the requirements for a CR1 or even the K1 filing you have to meet in person no matter what another country does for its laws.  Without the actual meeting in person you may not qualify for immigration to the USA.
