Here is my unique situation. I am a US citizen and I was married in the Philippines. We divorced in the US. My ex is currently ready to file the paperwork in the Philippines for a recognition of foreign divorce which takes 1.5 years according to her lawyer in Phils. I currently am very interested in marrying another Filipina. I understand that I only need a notarized legal capacity to marry certificate when I apply there. My exs lawyer in the Philippines said that I would be OK to get married since I am a US citizen even without having the recognition of foreign divorce. That the recognition of foreign divorce only applies to Filipino Citizens. Just wondering if anyone out there has heard of similar cases or can provide advice. My fear is we go through the entire process and the PSA voids the marriage. Thank You in Advance

haha....yea, he broke it off wit her, and not sure why....he is a rich private contractor that met her and not sure the details. She got hurt bad though.

I assume there is now way unless on the inside I would be able to access "compromising accusations"

I appreciate the replies, I really do. I'm trying to avoid a lawyer with this obviously but, it seems it is a situation that only a lawyer would know. I'm hoping someone comes through. Let's say the ex-petitioner does not cancel the request, then how long does it stay in limbo? I don't want to burn 530 to be told "sorry, there is someone who has applied already." The sad part is that only the petitioner can cancel a visa application. She can't. So, what happens if he just let's it die? How long before it is safe to apply? I honestly only think someone who works at immigration or a well seasoned lawyer will know. At the cost of a lawyer, it would be cheaper to apply 2x. Then, I can share here and let everyone know.

and yea, you're right, I'm the friend

I'm talking about the people who left a laughing emoji

Wow, some cruel people on this forum. Sad.

According to her she filled out I-129F from papers he sent her and then she filled out and sent back to him, and he supposedly sent it 2nd week of September. She also wrote a note saying she was in a relationship with him and planning to marry.

A friend of mine was engaged to a man who said he applied for her a K-1Visa in October of 2022. He then backed out of the engagement. She is not sure if he actually filed an application for her. Is there anyway that she can check? The reality is that she has another person very interested in her and does not want to have an issue of two applications in the system for her. Thanks in advance.
