  1. You're wasting your time with a lawyer. He/she is ignorant as to the rules/laws. There really is no such thing as engaged. And a fiance visa is gijgto take you a lot longer than a spouse visa. Good luck!
  2. Yes you never know what the Philippines is gong to do. Things change minute by minute there. No rhyme or reason. So far it appears that USCIS will accept the marriage as valid but now we are talking the CFO. I saw one account of an on-line Utah marriage being used for the American to get into the Philippines to be with his wife. Of course things are constantly in flux in the Pilippines so who knows right/ I am thinking about signing the contract with a PI law firm to have my American divorce recognized in the Philippines. 3000 dollars to get the Philippines to accept our US divorce. More ways for attorneys to make money. I understnad there are only two countries in the WORLD that don't allow divorce The Philippines and Vatican city. Jesus Christ!
  3. Yeah the problem I have is if I begin the recognition of divorce in the Philippine courts and then marry my fiance via Zoom Utah wedding prior to the recognition by the archaic Philippine government. I will be digging my own grave. Whereas if I just go ahead and get to the Philippines, marry her on line in Utah and proceed with the process might I be better off?
  4. Yes, but were you married in the Philippines and then divorced in the USA as I was? The first time I married a Filipina in the Philippines I had been married and divorced in the USA. That time there was no problem but I am worried that since I was married in the Philippines in 2012 (spouse #2) and they will not have a record of me being divorced in the Philippines...might this be a problem? Aloha, Dave O
  5. I finally got a response form an attorney in Manila. They are quoting me the following: "Our fee starts at 150k pesos , at 5 payments of 30k upon signing of a contract then monthly until the150k is fully paid, plus appearance fees of 8k pesos per appearance, plus expenses ( filing fees, court fees,). Only 30k would be needed to start the process. Let us know if there are other concerns, or if you are ready at this time to review a contract for the handling of the case." This seems rather expensive for Philippines??? Does anyone have any suggestions for other attorneys? The one year timeline they give is that realistic, or is it likely to take longer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo, David O
  6. Mahalo, I thought the annulment answer above was wrong. Thanks for the info. Aloha, David O.
  7. Yes, it is possible I will want to marry another Filipina. I have been told that is is not a law that the Filipina report to the Philippine government about her marriage.(Utah marriage) The only stumbling block I see is the CFO classes. Will the CFO class want to see more than the Utah marriage license? Will they go back and check to see if she registered the marriage in the Philippines and if they did they would see she married a bigamist? Any help is appreciated, Mahalo, David
  8. Okay I have one question. I was married to a Filipina in 2012 in the Philippines. (That was my first mistake) I brought her to USA, she became US Citizen and all that. Last year she came home one day "After visiting a friend" and said it was over, there was no hope for us, she would not participate in counseling, church, etc to try to save our marriage. She left. So now we are divorced in the US and every other country in the world except for the Philippines. Does anyone have any information how I can get the Philippines to recognize my divorce. Any suggestions of an attorney in Manila? Estimates of cost and time frame? Any help will be greatly appreciated, Mahalo, David Olsten
  9. 4.) A problem??? I was married in the Philippines in 2012. My Filipina wife divorced me in 2020 in the US. She is now a US citizen. I had hoped I would NOT have to report the new marriage to the Philippines Government as they will see me as a bigamist. I have been told that the marriage does not "have" to be reported to the Philippines. My fear is if we report it to them they will not accept the new marriage. If I understand correctly the Philippines would need our new marriage certificate and a few other items to get a waiver so I can enter the Philippines to be with my new wife. Would they be checking to see if we registered the marriage with the Philippine Embassy? I looked into having the first marriage "dissolved" in the Philippines and so far it looks like it is going to take a minimum of one year to do so. (Knowing the Philippines it would be a miracle of the highest proportion if it took less than 3 years. Then there is the CFO. Are they going to check to see if we registered our marriage in the Philippine Embassy in San Francisco? I had hoped I would get a waiver to enter the Philippines once I have the marriage certificate in hand. Please advise, Mahalo, David O
  10. Yeah I just read that. So 105 dollars (Marriage license, certificate and officiant) versus 899 dollars for WebWed...Somebody is getting rich here. And they have the nerve to make a claim on their home page that threatens that marriages performed via any other method of theirs is a copyright infringement on them because they "Have patented the on-line process of marriage"...that was the first thing that turned me off. I hate liars, don't you?
  11. But don't we still have to do the online thing with a court clerk?
