People get married on tourist visas all the time. Unless something has changed in the last five years, you can do so. Good luck.

We are not planning to live in the USA. We are only seeking a K1 because getting a tourist visa for a Myanmar citizen is not easy. There is no law that says we must stay in the USA after we marry.

Thanks!

Your marriage has to be annulled in the Philippines as they do not recognize divorce, before you file for a K1. You cannot travel to the US With a visitor visa with the intent to marry and adjust status, it's fraud and could lead to a ban. Your fiancé will have to file a 129f for k1 after your marriage has been annulled. Best of luck.

Thanks!

Your divorce situation may make getting the K1 visa difficult. I suggest you just get the tourist visa. Run to the courthouse for a wedding when you arrive in the USA. You will not be required to show proof of your divorce for the wedding. Apply for an adjustment of status in the USA.

Getting proof of the divorce will not be hard from the USA. You may need it for adjustment of status.

I have a tourist visa actually... Could I possibly get in trouble getting adjustment of status knowing Im using a tourist visa and marry there? Can I get deported back to my country? Has anyone got deported taking this route?

Follow up, in Phils. no such thing as divorce, and annulment is 1-3 years, (knowledgeble sources) and very expensive and from personal experience, may never happen.,...,., wish I could give you a better post.,.,but I "think" you have a huge problem with this, and please, it would be nice if your new BF, has all of this, and what may lie ahead.

Â

This is just an opinion, but the length of annulment is accurate, and that it may never happen is also true!

My new BF knows all these so both of us are looking for answers and options there are.

Wow, you have a really different situation for sure.

ÃÃÂ

My wife came from Cebu, so I know only a little bit, but knowing from what I read and what is in the Phils, you are not divorced in the Phils., as there is no such thing.

ÃÃÂ

I may be way off on this, and not understand your post, but your ex, divorced you in the US,,.,. but who divorced you in the Phils.?ÃÃÂ Are you still married in the eyes of the Phils.?

ÃÃÂ

You really have a unique situation, and I hope one of the experts on this site, weighs in on this, as I would love to see the real answer,.,.,.,but I think you are still married in the Phils..., if you were married THERE!

Yes, my ex divorced me in the US and nobody gets divorce in the Phils as there is no such thing. So my first question was would the US embassy in the Philippines honor the divorce paper I have from my ex husband?

Hi, Im a newbie to this site. I joined here to get some enlightenment regarding the situation Im in.

I was married almost 5 years ago to a Filipino here in the Philippines but we separated (not legally here) 2 years ago. We have a daughter. My ex got divorced in the US and now has a new family there.

3 months ago I met an American in a dating site. Our long distance relationship is going very well and he's going to visit the Phils next month to meet me. He wanted to get a K1 visa for me and K2 for my daughter but I am wondering if I am qualified for that visa since even though my ex and I were divorced in the US Im still married here. So can my boyfriend get that K1 visa for me?

By the way, my daughter and I have a tourist visa. So ever if I am not qualified for the fiancee visa, can I go to the US and get marry? We are looking for ways to get me and my daughter there and live our lives together.

What are other options being in this situation? Please advise.
