My fiancee and I have been together for almost 3 years now, and engaged since October of 2023. I've had certain marriage legal challenges in the Philippines, but not here in the US. So my question is this, since I already have a legal divorce here in the US that's not recognised in the Philippines could I still technically still have her come over on a Tourist Visa and get married to me in the US and skip her going back to the Philippines altogether? Would that also effect her chances within 5 years being able to become a legal US citizen?

Don't even try. Comming to the US with a non immigrant visa with the intent to marry is fraud and then adjusting status. Go the spouse visa route. Marry in a 3rd country if you have to

As @wildbug100420 said, don't even think about the tourist visa marriage, which is fraud.

 

Putting together the pieces from your previous post,

https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/836171-divorced-from-filipina-in-usa-but-not-recognised-in-philippines/

 

Marrying in a 3rd country, and filing for CR1 from the 3rd country, or filing for K1 from a 3rd country, may technically be feasible, but you will also have a lot of explaining to do for why you are applying from the 3rd country, especially if neither of you are working or living in the 3rd country.

Entering the US via a non-immigrant route with the intent to stay and adjust status is visa fraud......It is a violation of the terms of service of Visa Journey to :

 

Condone or instruct, either directly or indirectly, others on how to commit fraudulent or illegal immigration activities in any way, shape, manner or method.

 

Having said that:
