>Any advice is apprecitated. Thank you Hi, it is possible to get an anulment of marriage in the phillipines but the cost i believe is in the vicinity of 100,000 pesos. Your girl friend then needs to be in the phillipines to apply for a spouse visa whether it be married or defacto.For defacto you need to show that you have had a continuing relationship for 12 months or longer.you cannot apply for a different class of visa if you have tourist visa.if your girl friend has exptred tourist visa she runs the risk of deportation and exclusion from further visa applications for 3 years. I married a girl from Phillipines last year and still going through immigration red tape.good luck with it. ps legally a defacto marriage is just as recognizable as full marriage so my advice would be to collect as much evidence of your relationship as you can ie photos together, social pastimes together, committment to each other, finacial affairs together including joint bank accounts and bills in joint names etc.immigration cannot discriminate against your genuine defacto relationship. she needs to go home and apply with you as her sponsor from the phillipines, best wishes bill

im in the same boat, but what i heard, which i know everybody hears different but i was in the u.s.embassy once and was told that if the citizen of the phillipines tells the court that her/his spouse was not doing there job as a wife/husband that an annulment can take up to at least 6months which sounds better than the options, we got. does anybody have any other advice or information?

Yes you can file for an annulment that takes 6 months if you can prove no contact for atleast 7 years etc.

Also I can tell you this...You cannot rush to get anulment then take it to the embassy for a visa. you cannot get an anulment for the reason to re-marry. period!

>I have met this Lady in the phillipines! We want to get married. She lives in the phillipines, I live in USA. Another fillipino Lady here told me for her to be able to come to the States I have to go to the Phillipines to get married? Also I was told her annulment was going to cost $1200.00 to $1300.00 American Dollars. Is this All True.

Yes that is true and in most all cases it will not be able to get the qualified required stamp of approval and will not go through !!!

There are 2 ways inorder for you to get your filipina fiancee. 1)you come to the Phils. and get married then you file for a petition for her to come with you in U.S.A. which takes at least 6 months waiting time or 2) File a fiancee visa for her which will take longer than 6 months. if you intend to get married in U.S.A. GOOD LUCK!

Oh by the way the cost of the annulment depends on the lawyer you will get. I know one who paid P180K and took her 10 months. I have mine filed in March and will have a pre-trial in Aug but didn't pay that much. I hope you'll get a sensible lawyer. Good Luck!!
