Thank you pushbrk. My situation involved no children, harm, or sex, etc. so I am fairly certain (although I will check) that it is not a Adam Walsh Act crime. 

So basically you are saying that if I get confirmation that it is not Adam Walsh then I have no need to worry at all about getting a wife a visa as long as her record is clear? 

Oh, one other thing. You mentioed copies of divorce decrees.  I had one very short marriage that was Annulled. Does annulment count? Do I have to declare this even though annulment is as if it never happened? The annulment was in the state of Virginia.

Thanks again.

Does anyone else have any info to help me on this? It will choose some major directions in life. 

I just need to know that if I marry a filipino in the Philippines and she has a perfect clear record but I have bad felonies (non child or sex crimes) can she get a CR1?  

Thanks again.

Thanks guys.

Yes, I guess what I saw some posts where people said CR1 was entirely different then K1 as NO criminal history was requested. The I-129F has all kinds of criminal questions but the I-130 (spousal CR1) form has none. 

Someone even said you could be in prison or on parole and get a CR1.  So I am getting conflicted information.

So, I want to marry a Filipino but...

Over 20 years ago I had a felony charge of Kidnapping. This was not involving a child, nor was there any physical harm, violence, holding over 24hrs etc. It was a joy ride when I was a teen that I did not let someone out. 

Besides that over 15 years ago I had 3 DUI's and the third was a felony.

I have not had even a small incident with the law since then but I have had several marriages end in divorce and one where the woman filed false alligations to get a PPO. It was eventually overturned but it was filed.

I am doing extremely well now in life with established career with a very good salary approaching 100k and good ties with my church and friends.

From what I have read, people with my type of past have tried to get a K1 have been denied because there is a criminal history questionaire and the goverment can simply say "visa denied, hes not good for you." 

So I am wondering if obtaining a CR1 is possible if I go get married in the Philippines. Would this be easier or would I face the same problems.

Thanks for all your help.
