Only have the divorce from HK is not an issue with CFO.   Bring the CEMAR and a copy of the divorce decree, CFO is good with that.

Hello All,
 
New member here.  My Filipino girlfriend and I were introduced by an American / Filipino couple here in the U.S.  They got their K-1 Visa two years ago.  Our situation is an exact copy of theirs...
 
My girlfriend and I have been dating via Skype since August.  She has been working in Hong Kong for five years.  She is married in the Philippines with one 17 year old daughter.  She has been separated from her husband for 15+ years.  As we all know, divorce is not allowed in the Philippines and annulments take a very long time (years).  Just as her friend did, that introduced us, she has filed for a divorce in Hong Kong and will be receiving the divorce decree soon.
 
My question:  Will her divorce decree from Hong Kong be accepted, for the purpose of obtaining a K-1 Visa (as it was for her friend two years ago) or, has the law changed?
 
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I 100% understand that feeling, and maybe I’m not even at the positions to say this.
 
i wanted to withdraw every single day... I don’t know if it was worth it as I think till that visa is in my hands I will feel this stress and awful emptiness and fear...
 
however, I am glad he didn’t let me pull the petition... because I would also be angry at my self. (And know that this comes from a person who also recovered from a depressive state and high anxiety, so believe me when I say I feel you..)
 
especially @Seraphinek without figuring out a solution don’t do this. Because not having any solution in the end will only cause more stress on the current situation. It ends, not easily maybe or early but it ends. 
 
Guys I know it looks longer in the wait but as I said, we didn’t even see the November starting yet, please try to give it 2 weeks from when it starts. That’s when most months cleared up as much as they can. And please realize many here are in the same boat, I’m not saying this to make you think about others by the way, I’m saying this so you’ll realize it may very well just be a normal wait as it is not only 5 people waiting here without explanation, but a big portion waiting under similar circumstances.
