Thank you for the advice for my situation everyone. I will take your replies into great consideration and decide what to do. A moderator can lock this thread now.

I see I have my dug myself into a deep hole and I am not even sure that the lawyers would be able to help me since i'm this far in. I will explain my situation to them and see they can do anything. If they can't I don't have too many options. I could move to the Philippines and live there, (Most of my family is in the Philippines anyway and I speak Bisayan). I know that is not the ideal choice but I am dedicated to this girl. You may think I must be an idiot, but I will do what I can to be with her. This may be a better alternative than having her get caught by just pulling the petition and living my life there. Thank you for all your replies everyone, a great deal of helpful information. I really appreciate all of your time.

The same was spelled similarly, but we got a cenomar in 2010 for the because we thought about doing the petition and it was real and not a fake. However the embassy wants a cenomar that is within one year. When we tried to get another it came up with the past marriage. I am unsure how it was linked to her real name. That is why we had to get a fake one.

I have another question about the fact that she was underage when he married her. I wanted to ask here before I talk to a lawyer. Would that not even constitute a marriage and could be declared void?

and also too good to be true. There's more to this story than the OP probably knows or is willing to reveal. The USC can't marry someone under a fake name and fake birth-date. Not to say it doesn't happen, but if it did happen, then they were never married. So, needless to say, I'm not buying the 'fake name and fake birthday' story. If indeed they were legally married, under true facts, she can file for divorce. That's the part, I'm also confused about. In the US NO ONE is forced to stay in a marriage. There's a whole lot more to this story.

To the OP, are you making money transfers? Did she reveal more information AFTER you filed the petition?

From what I know, the reason that her husband had to use fake documents was that she was underage. I know that somehow he managed to payed people to create a fake birth certificate and all the documents needed to get married in the Philippines. His visa was a spousal visa and he managed to get past both the embassy and US customs without ever getting caught for what he did. She did not know his true intent, which was revealed when she was already in the United States. He used death threats to prevent anyone from finding out what he was really doing to her. She convinced him that she wanted to visit her parents who were currently in Hawaii. Then somehow she was able to get back in the Philippines. At with the father of her kids who is not in contact with her. He was in a gang in the Philippines and basically did the same thing as her husband. Which was holding her captive and threatening to shoot her. He is no longer in the picture and is in the United States. Her life was really bad before we started dating.

About the money transfers, I have sent her small amount for food and bills each month. So there is evidence that I am supporting her.

I just spoke with my mother who was petitioned by my father in 1989. She basically said to me that the fingerprints were only used to find out if she committed any prior crimes. Also that it would not bring up prior records that my fiancee went through the visa process in 1999. She also said that back then they only fingerprinted once for the NBI. I am unsure if she is accurate, because it was 23 years ago when my parents were approved. From what I read from the responses in this thread I feel more inclined to take the advice of the posters. I just thought that I should mention this.

Edit: I asked my fiancee if they fingerprinted her in the past petition. She said they did not fingerprint her in the interview and in customs. Just had her sign a paper where she was going to travel. But when she got her green card they fingerprint her on a paper. Then we she got her passport 1.5 years ago she said they also fingerprint her but the computers were different than before. I'm thinking that just the green card fingerprints would be more than enough to get caught.

In 1999, when she was able to get to Philippines he told her that he would never let her leave the marriage. He told her that she was basically free from him when he died, like if he couldn't have her than nobody could. He would be in his 70s by now and we don't know his whereabouts in the United States.

Just out of curiosity, did you know of all the past immigration fraud before you filed the current petition?

On the list of my unacceptable while searching for a suitable spouse was previous visa petitions. In fact not having a passport was very beautiful in my eyes.

Us as USC have a potential criminal liability if we're not careful.

Good luck on this that is going to be an expensive and not guaranteed journey but you can always emigrate to Philippines though.

Unfortunately, I did know of the past immigration fraud when I filed my current petition. I thought there would be a chance that I could get her over to the United States without them finding out. But from the responses in this thread, I see that I was just fooling myself. I am willing to just pull the petition and contact Scott and Associates to see if they can help me with this case. I am willing to pay for it, just to be with her.

Do you think it would be easier for me to hire a lawyer in my home state of Nevada, or is the process available to do across state?

Do you think that it would be advisable to hire an immigration attorney in my home state or hire one in the philippines? By chance would you know how long does it take on average in order to an annulment?

She was fingerprinted to get her first visa. She'll be fingerprinted again and then the jig is up. They'll know

They'll know she got a fake CENOMAR and they may find her guilty of misrepresentation for immigration purposes. Which is a lifetime ban from the US. Before they even ask her a question - the deal is done

So I'm not sure why you say you dont' know what to do. I'd pull the peititon and refile, with the help of a qualified immigration attorney

Good luck

This is what I feared. After I get the prior marriage annulled then I should list all the prior identities on this petition and explain why I am going through the process again? I believe I read that once your petition gets approved then you have three months to set an interview date but you can file an extension. I also read that the annulment in the Philippines can take over a year. So it would be smart to just pull the petition now and get a immigration lawyer.

I can assure you that I am not trolling. I read stories about people with similar situations and they spent many thousands of dollars to fight in court to prevent deportation. I am not sure what to do. Should I even get the interview date scheduled. I know that this situation is very bad, but I will do whatever I can to bring her here.

I realize that there is alot that she is hiding. Do you think that chances of passing and gaining entry are very slim to none? I hear that they are pretty thorough.

Hello everyone. I have a few questions that pertain to my fiancee in the Philippines. First off, she has been petitioned in the past and approved 13 years ago. She was petitioned under a fake name and birthday by a much older man because she was only 16 years old at the time. He was a family friend and misled her what his true intent. He was to rape her and lock her into a house. She stayed in the United States for a few months before she escaped and managed to get him to fly her back to the Philippines. Since then her green card has already expired. She has twins with a different man who abandoned her and the kids. His name is not included on the birth certificate of the twins. She has no contact with either of the two men. Since then I have had a relationship with her for two years. We filed a K1 and K2 visa for her and the kids.

My K-1 visa to the Philippines has already been approved. I am about to schedule the interview date and pay the embassy fees in the next couple days. She has no record of being in the United States under her real name and birth date. We have all the paperwork, NBI clearance, and Cenomar. The cenomar is an official one but it was created by a friend who works at the NSO office. This was needed to make sure it would say she was single. I am worried that if they look it up they will find out that she was married. The older man who did a spousal visa with her when she was 16 will not end the marriage. I am also worried that when she gets her fingerprints they will notice that she was already in the United States, this was done in 1999. I am unsure if they will notice this. She and I are very worried that she will not pass the interview, or that they will find out the past history. If anyone has any advice that would be much appreciated.
