Hello! I need some advice. 
i am filipino citizen married to a filipino citizen as well back in philippines. We're currently residing here in UAE but we got seperated way back 2020. We both have partners already and decided to get a divorce here. My current partner now is a US citizen and he's planning to file a k-1 visa. My question is, will the US embassy recognize my divorce here in UAE if ever he file and petition me in the philippines?

Thank you in advance🙏

Petitions are filed in the US not in a foreign country.  The US WILL recognize your UAE divorce for immigration purposes even if you plan on applying for a visa in Manila 

 

PS.  This is the second thread you have started with the same question.

Is there a chance that they will decline my application if ever? Cause i've been reading some comments that its not applicable since there's no divorce in philippines. 

This is not an uncommon situation and Manila deals with it all the time.  The US is not bound by Philippines law in this regard.

 

If you will still residing in UAE at the time of the interview then you can have the interview done in Abu Dhabi instead.
