I have met and been with a filipina from Cebu and I would like to marry her. However she is still married in Cebu. She came here on a tourist visa and remained. My question is can I still marry her here in the US without her having a divorce. I know there is no divorce in the Phillipines. We would marry and then I would try to obtain her residency here. I have not been able to get a awnser on this. I have called lawyers and have been told different things. I have read post on www.ph.gov that say I can still marry without her getting a divorce here. It is hard for her to divorce here since she has no social security number and also hard to prove residency requirements Any advice is apprecitated. Thank you

It Is sad for to me to answer this because im sure you love her. First of all, It is illegal for any filipino to remain here on a tourist visa, and so therefore getting married while she is here would also be against the law, but even if you do, when you go to the immigration to get legal resident status they would defintely turn her down and deport- due to the fact that she could not prove her divorce document from the phils. Im sorry but they are very strict on immigration and proving a divorce is a requirement.

Thank you for the response Ray. Yes we are close both in our 40's. I am Hispanic and from New Mexico and was married for 20 years so this has been so different for me to deal with. I saw a divorce lawyer and he said she needs a social security number or a tax id number both of which seem unatainable. Also the need to prove residency of 90 days here (in AZ). I do not know what to do? ? Last I did was write a law firm in Las Vegas?

>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!!

Hello, I have a few questions and a few suggestions for people wanting to get married in the PH.
I met my fiance'in Korea. She went back to the Phillipines to file annulment Nov2006. it was done in April2007. It cost us a lawyer for almost 3000 USD, she payed half and I payed the other half while we were living together here in Korea. She has got her red ribbon April also from Malikyang(wrong spelling).
We are comming acrross the issue if we should get a fiance visa or tourist visa OR spouse visa if we get married there.
Im in the army and my company comander will not allow me to go there to get married because he says the Army and US court will not recognize us as spouses by legal tendor.
Also the issue with the anullment, will it be legitiment in the US? We have a 5 month year old son together, will that be enuff for evidence? We also have Chat History on YM and I just took leave there in July to visit my son and take care of any paperwork that needed to be done for our son.
Which would be fastest and easiest way to get married and bring my asawa to the US?
For other ppl wanting to know if the Phillipines support Proxy Marriage..........NO!!!!! If you heard differently, it will not be legal or processed with the NSO.
