Congrats!

The name on the green card would be the same one you entered on form I-485 when you submitted the AOS packet. Since the marriage document acts as a legal name change we had entered her new married name on all forms. My wife's GC came was issued with her married name.

After we received the GC we went to Social Security office to update her name there.

Adam & May

'Civil' meaning legal not church? I think either way, a marriage prior to coming to the States renders a K1 visa null and void.

Walk-in Biometrics Successful!

HGTV. 'Nough said!

Divorce is not allowed in the Philippines and divorce secured anywhere by a Filipino is not recognized in this jurisdiction. If you’re a Filipino, it doesn’t matter where you get a divorce: such divorce is invalid/void in the Philippines. This is because under the nationality principle (Art. 15, Civil Code), all Filipinos – where they may be in the world – are bound by Philippine laws on family rights and duties, status, condition, and legal capacity. In certain instances, however, a divorce validly secured abroad by a non-Filipino may be recognized here in the Philippines.

Is there a legal provision that recognizes divorce in the Philippines?

Yes. On 6 July 1987, President Corazon Aquino signed Executive Order No. 209, otherwise known as the “Family Code.” Article 26 of this law, which took effect on 3 August 1988, reads:

All marriages solemnized outside the Philippines in accordance with the laws in force in the country where they were solemnized, and valid there as such, shall also be valid in this country, except those prohibited under Articles 35, 37, and 38.

On 17 July 1987, Executive Order No. 227 was signed into law, amending Article 26 of the Family Code, among others. Article 26 now reads:

ART. 26. All marriages solemnized outside the Philippines in accordance with the laws in force in the country where they were solemnized, and valid there as such, shall also be valid in this country, except those prohibited under Articles 35(1), (4), (5) and (6), 36, 37 and 38.

Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall have capacity to remarry under Philippine law.

What are circumstances that would make Article (Family Code) applicable?

We have a basic discussion on Article 26 of the Family Code. Included in that discussion are the two elements that must be shown before the second paragraph of Article 26 is applied:

There is a valid marriage that has been celebrated between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner; and

A valid divorce is obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry.

Is this provision applicable to former Filipinos?

Yes. Article 26 was later interpreted by the Supreme Court to include cases involving parties who, at the time of the celebration of the marriage were Filipino citizens, but later on, one of them becomes naturalized as a foreign citizen and obtains a divorce decree. The reckoning point is not the citizenship of the parties at the time of marriage, but their citizenship at the time a valid divorce is obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating the latter to remarry. (Philippines vs. Orbecido III, G.R. No. 154380, 5 October 2005).

Article 26 provides that the divorce must be secured by the foreigner-spouse. What if the foreigner-spouse continually maltreats the Filipino/Filipina spouse, isn’t it unfair that the Filipino/Filipina can’t initiate divorce?

It may be unfair, but that’s the law, consistent with the State’s policy of not allowing divorce for Filipinos. This doesn’t mean, however, that the Filipino/Filipina has no other recourse. If the circumstances fall under the grounds for annulment/declaration of nullity, then the marriage could still be annulled or declared null and void from the beginning.

If there’s already a divorce validly secured abroad (by the foreigner-spouse or the Filipino spouse who became a foreign citizen, losing his/her Filipino citizenship in the process), can the Filipino spouse immediately remarry?

No. The existence of a valid divorce decree, however, does not automatically entitle the Filipino to remarry in the Philippines. The foreign divorce decree must be judicially recognized in the Philippines. This means that the proper action or petition must be filed in a Philippine court. For purposes of re-marriage, the divorce validly secured abroad is not automatically recognized here in the Philippines.

Isn’t it enough that I already forwarded the divorce decree to the Philippine Embassy (or the Department of Foreign Affairs) and the National Statistics Office (NSO)?

No. The foreign divorce decree must be recognized here in the Philippines; a process which may only be done through the courts.

Why should we waste money in filing a petition in court for the recognition of the divorce decree?

This is the requirement of law, unfortunately. The divorce decree must be proven, just like any fact, in court. The presentation of the divorce decree is insufficient. Proof of its authenticity and due execution must be presented. This necessarily entails proving the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where the foreigner-spouse (who could be a former Filipino) is a national. One of the requirements under Article 26 is that the decree of divorce must be valid according to the national law of the foreigner.

Thank God you modified your dates (2012 to 2011). the second one Is better but they're right it's still over kill.

Any non-U.S. diploma's, degrees will need to be evaluated to the standards of www.naces.org. there are several member agencies (We will be using (World Education Services).

My wife has a BA in Economics from a university in the Philippines. She is considering obtaining as AA in Physical Therapy Assisting. The school requires international students to get their high school diploma, college degrees and even individual classes certified for the purpose of recognition for U.S. equivalency.

Last I knew, schools didn't accept hand carried transcripts. I thought that had to be sent from the previous school to the next.

sorry I'm just a bit confuse

You're fine. Just take time to read and understand.

I really dont understand your post but what i can say is that i am asking about advice, yes. I see how helpful is this forum and how much it has been usefull for lot of people so why not to ask to be sure abefore doing something, especiallly as its our last chance, i just dont want to send something that could cause prejudice to my case. Ok anyway i think most of people here think that its not a good idea even if we are maried. So like i said before i will not send those reciept. I think it's better. Thank anyway for your post

I don't imply any bad thoughts towards you. I have read posts and some people replied differently ( but based on your post.)

Your embassy asked you for specific things to submit then follow it. If in your interview they ask about money or support, you can or can't tell them.

The CO will know if you are being honest with your purpose.

Us too, we depended on VJers help throughout our journey.

As far as I understand his original post. He from Africa is sending money to his WIFE in the US, correct?

They are Married, that's why he calls her wife. I don't see any fraud or buying a wife in it.

OP: are you being realistic with your journey ( be with you wife and live together) or buying a wife ( immigration purpose). Here is how things go also.

You are or you will what you think.

You are giving people hints of your purpose, I guess. You are not asking help.

JohnnyX sir,

I think everybody have said enough. You were given all the answers that you could get. You have given websites where you can check every info you need, all you have to do is read them and understand. If you are going to hire a lawyer, it would be better to ask him/ her you are going to pa for that anyway. So please stop asking questions over and over because people would answer the same and you are not paying attention to them.

It will just disappoint everyone and could lead to misjudgment towards you.

OP you should definitely get a dich vu because you seemingly don't know a single thing about this process or even have the capacity to read simple instruction. i'd be surprise if you can even differentiate between fiance and fiancee.

I-134 is required when filing for a k1/k3 visa at interview time (I-129F route).

I-864 Is sent to USCIS before the interview for CR-1 ( I-130 route).

If you do a search on visa journey for "I-134 vs I-864" you will a lot more information.

Good luck!

As far as we know, money in the bank is not as important as your meeting of the 125% poverty guidelines.

According to 2012 I-864 guidelines for a household size of two, 125% is 18,912.00. If you support your parents that would be a household of 4 then the 125% amount would be 28,812.00.

I am a Filipino and lived in Japan for 6 years. I needed a police clearance from Japan, and the Philippines as well. Doesn't matter if you are a citizen of a country you lived before or not, you need to obtain a police clearance( lived over a year).
