Let me try to clarify. I am a u.s citizen. I am currently legally married to a Filipina. We got married in Philippines. We have been divorced in the u.s now for a few years. Since then I have fallen for another lady who is from the Philippines . I know I can't not legally get married in the Philippines via government style. I have found a company based in Utah who can perform a wedding ceremony for us via video call and it be Legal for u.s immigration. She wants family to witness it. My question is this. 1. How does she change her last name to match mine for immigration in on a CR1 VISA 2. Do we have to report anything to the PSA. ( sorry agency's always changing ) Basically I'm trying to figure out what steps I need to take to give her a wedding. She is OK with online style. She is aware I got married in Philippines and understands the issue. She is OK with a k1 process. But I still want to try to giver her what she wants. So my biggest concern is her last name once married not matching Philippines legal documents possibly causing res flags during interview

That's my understanding as well. My concern lays with the new wife being Able to report it to the nsa and it be accepted so she can legally change her name..

Hello. This is just a general question. A few years ago I got divorced from a Filipina who I had married in the Philippines. I know divorce is not legal there . Over the years I have found another lady I'm very interested in and have been chatting with for a while now. We have discussed marriage. However she wants a wedding there for her family. Now I have found a place that is u.s based that does them via internet call and it's legal and recognized via u.s immigration. My questions lies with the Philippines NSA. Should we go that route . Will the NSA recognize the new marriage over the old one if divorce paperwork is provided? And will the lady be able to report the new marriage and change her passport to the married name for u.s immigration? P.s sorry if this isn't in the right group or right portal. Any help would be appreciated thank you
