US Immigration from Philippines

So I was married 10 years ago in Philippines. My Filipina left me and the kids after 8 years. I am seriously thinking of moving to the PI. My new fiance thinks that would be great. But I think I would want to marry her there.

How do I get my American Divorce recognized in the PI? I am the American. I know divorce is not an option in the PI. Any suggestions and how long will it take?

It looks like there is an option to schedule for CRBA in Cebu City. Can the appearance also be done in Cebu? Has anyone experienced this?

Hello guys i have q question about i -797 form. We already got an interview date next month for my fiance at 06/15/2023 at the embassy for k1 visa but my i-797 form will be expiring (valid from 01/31/2023 till 05/31/2023) should i need to do something at this moment or should i call the u.s embassy so they should entend the validity?

We recvd I 797 from the I-130 petition stating it is approved after waiting exactly one year.

Do we have to file an I-824 petition to bring the child here in the states who is currently living in P.I.?

For a minor child I thought once the I -130 was approved that the ball would now be in Manila's embassy in que for interview for a visa but then I dont know much about all this red tape to submit.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello guys,

I am planning on filing a CR-1 visa for my Filipina fianc later this year. My original plan was to marry her in August or September in the Philippines when I visit again. However, upon further research I see that the marriage process in the Philippines is rather lengthy and complicated. I have been recently informed about online marriage and that the USCIS recognizes them as being valid for CR-1. Specifically through the state of Utah. I am very skeptical about this process as it seems to go to be true. Does anyone have more insight on this? I understand that you can marry online now, but we would still have to wait until we meet again in person before we can file the CR-1. Is this a viable alternative for us instead of marrying in the Philippines? Also if anyone has other suggestions of alternatives we have instead of marrying in Philippines like alternative countries that would be great too.

Thanks!
