Thank you for the reply. Someone told me that USEM will accepts final divorce decree and don't ask anymore the cenomar. Just want to make sure. Hopefully & prayerfully that everything will be ok if we apply for a K-1 visa.

Fingers crossed...

Hello guys, I need your help or advise of what to do next after my fiancée from Philippines got divorced and received already the final divorce decree from UK. Can we proceed to apply for a K-1 visa?

Thank you guys for your help or advise.

Thank you so much for the reply. I really appreciated it.

So you mean we can also apply for a K-1 visa using her divorce decree? In applying a K-1 visa she needs to submit a cenomar from NSO. What did you do guys? Did you submit his cenomar stating that he was previously marriage?

Hello guys, I hope someone can help my fiancé though this is not a visa related. She just want to seek some advise about her case. She is from Philippines and got divorced. She received the final divorce decree from UK. She doesn't know of what to do next? Is she going to file a Petion of Divorce Recognition in Philippines? She's living out of the country and is difficult for her to find a lawyer. Where can we find a lawyer? Is there anyone here have the same situation with my fiance? Thank you so much for your help or advise.

Hello,

Congrats on nearly having a baby!!

Are you able to stay with your fiancee for the next 8 months?

You have 2 options, you can file for a K1 (Fiancee visa) which depending on what state and a few other things takes anywhere from 3 months to 1 year or you can apply for a Marriage visa which from what I have been told is 1 year plus.

There will be more experienced members which will be able to give you more specific info.

Either visa will not allow your fiancee/Wife to come with you and wait while the visa is being processed. You are able to stay with your new family while it is pending (My partner did) but there is no way she and the baby are able to travel to stay for more than 90 days (VWP) while visa is being processed.

The K1 is quicker. For example, We filed in May and have our interview in 2 days so I will have my visa and be able to travel to the USA with in 3 months of applying. This is ridiculously fast though. I only had 11 days between sending my NOA1 and getting NOA2 (Not very common) I was processed at the California service center due to where my partner is from.

On the flip side, there are some people who are being processed through Texas who have been waiting 6+ months with no NOA2 yet.

We hired an attorney (which is not needed) to do our application for us and he suggested the K1 as we wanted to be processed quickly.

Where in the USA do you live? I believe where you are processed is dependent on where in the USA you live. This could give you a good indication of how long you may have to wait.

Good luck. I hope your baby arrives quickly and the Visa process is painless for you!

Hello and thank you for your reply! Yes I am working in Bangkok, so I will definitely be with my fiancée, especially for the birth of our son. I am from North Carolina in the United States. I think that we will probably file a Marriage Visa, but we also like that the K1 is quicker. Since I am here with my fiancee, having to wait a little longer isn’t that big of a deal. It bothers me a little that my family hasn’t yet met my fiancée and they can”t wait to see the baby. I guess that these are things that I will have to deal with the best that I can.

Thank you again,

Jared

Hello. I am an American living in Bangkok, Thailand with my girlfriend who is from the Philippines. I was married before and am divorced. My girlfriend was also married before and recently received the divorce decree by mail. In the Philippines, there is no divorce law, so she plans to get a petition of divorce of recognition. We are expecting the birth of our first child in a few months. I very much want us to get married before the baby is born. My family is worried that there will be a lot of red tape if we wait. Can we go ahead and get married now or will we have to wait? It is very important to me that my baby have my name. I just want to do these things in the right way. Please help and thank you in advance.
