Hi all,
I'm a dual citizen (Fil/Am) who is currently engaged to a Filipina i met 3 years ago when I was still in college in the Philippines. We are looking into filing a CR-1 visa, which plays into her part as she is still in third year college, and I estimate that she would graduate before the visa gets approved.
However, I am an officer in the US Navy, so my opportunities to file leave is very limited, making marriage in the Philippines very difficult. Would filing an online marriage, meeting when I get the chance to certify the marriage, then filing the visa be viable? How would being a dual citizen (born in San Diego, CA to Filipino parents) and my fiancé still being in the PH also affect me filing ROM?
TLDR: I don't have enough time to be married in the Philippines so me and my fiancé are considering online marriage.
