This is forum...you can not get a specific answer you want ..this is sharing of ideas..thru experiences. If you wany specific answer hire a lawyer. Anyway you made 3 posted topics with the same question...about annulment. My suggestion is hire an attorney . You need to be sensitive if youre planning to marry a filipina.

thats why i suggest annulment..yup took almost 200k in peso..including psychiatrist and all. but it took  only 11 months on our part. and my ex husband also didnt appear on every hearing.

its not 150k usd...its 150,000 in pesos. oh maybe i really need to do some search about islamic law..Im not a scammer...im just sharing my experience doing the annulment thing. and yes..a catholic woman (like me) can convert to whatever religion she wanted to join. But im still not sure about the divorce thing..

and FYI im not a scammer..im also an applicant having my visa journey.

sorry i didnt answer your question and i think i didnt help

First, no divorce in the philippines. You can file an annulment. There is what we called "package" you just need to pay 150k and your case will take 11 months. No need for the husband to appear in court.

Im a filipina...me and my husband mer in kuwait dated for one month yhen my contract finished and I didnt renew it so I went home in the philippines. We continued chatting..I never ask money from him. Never. He decided to visit me in the philippines .. I booked a hotel in Boracay..a flight in cebu pacific for a three day vacation with my own money. He visited and we decided to get married. We live in kuwait together..still not asking money from him. He will juat give me money if I need to go to the store and buy groceries. Sometimes its a problem to me because im not working anymore and I also have things I need to buy . One time we talked..he told me he will be in control of giving me monet because of what he heard in other americans having a filipina wife...they asked too much that even the neighbor is sick and ask money for it. His contract in kuwait ended and we had just file our visa that time..worst thing happened I went back to philippines and he went home to US. He need to find a job for our visa application. Yes until now he's in control of giving me money..500usd a month with a 2 year old son. My husband is sweet caring . He just heard a lot of stories about filipina asking too much money. I didnt ask for money even the 500usd is not enough for me and my son. I want to prove that im not yhe "typical filipina" as what other american say. We both love each other I know that...I just need to earn his trust and erased what is being told to him by his fellow americans in kuwait. I am a nurse

And oh i didnt ask money when we are still bf and gf we met in Kuwait and im working as a Nurse there. When he first visited Philippines i was the one who booked everything for our three dayvacation..

PhilippinesIs Friend's Fiancee Scamming Him? How to convince him?
Im really sorry your friend didnt find a nice girl here in the Philippines, that he's not lucky finding a "typical filipina". I myself is ashamed hearing about "typical filipina"yes the "give me money my family is sick" but this is the first time i heard a filipina talking of F U here and F u there. Me and my husband is married for two years now but i never talk to him like that or utter any bad words to him, its a sign of respect. Likewise if he suddenly say a bad word infront of me and realized i was there, he will say sorryim a filipina, tell your friend shes not the right girl for him. Money and maybe greencard is what matters to this girl.i know im not in the right position to say this...but shes a disgrace for us filipinas.But not all are the same...we are both filipina but we have our own personality.goodluck to your friend

Send your wife to manila to do the application because passport would take 4 weeks maximum. But first google what are the documents needed,a proof that the child is yours.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 cancellation???
Did she received a decision from the court when she filed annulment? Because annulment will not automatically appear at NSO. After you received the decision you need to bring that to the municipal hall where the wife is living and another in municipal hall where the husband's town is.then the papers from two municipal hall will be brought to the nso so the marriage of two parties will ne null and void.
Anyway if she received a decision from the court with the signature of the judge I think you can present that at Embassy

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNewly Wedd - American & Filipina I-130 & CR-1 ( Process Help)

 
You missed the point, I wasn't speaking about the CFO Seminar, I was telling the OP that there is no requirement for his wife to change her name if she doesn't want to do so.  I also Googled the page you mentioned and I didn't see anything on those pages that requires a woman to change her last name when she gets married.


i got your point now. You should have not quote my post coz i just told him to change famiky name here in the philippines she must attend CFO seminar. And yes its not really required fir a wife to chsnge her famiky name to married name...but in USCIS its included in a document to prove a genuine marriage....any ID that uses the married name, well as I remember.

try google renewal of passport in the philippines/ changing family name to a married name .
anyway attending CFO seminar is not a waste of time. She will use it too before leaving the country, so its two in one purpose.

Im sorry but not here in the Philippines. Department of Foreign Affairs will require you yo attend CFO Seminar , you will then present the certificate when you want ti change your family name to your married name....IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO A FOREIGNER. I Just did. Go ahead google it DFA Philippines
Different countries has different rules

 
 
Incorrect, there is no requirement for any person to change their last name when they get married.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy patience running out

we had completed our ds 261 last july so does it mean ill expect iv invoice this coming week. Gosh im losing hope with this journey.
 
My DS-261 was received on July 10th, and I got my IV invoice on August 15th, so don't panic just yet! It may show up in the upcoming days. Just start preparing your IV package, if you haven't already.
 
 Based on other people's timelines it's been taking 30-60 days to get a case complete after everything has been submitted... 




malenliamFemalePhilippines2014-08-18 05:24:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIV payment, still can't see it?
Im afraid it will take 60 days to appear the iv bill after you filled up ds261. Nvc started sending email last month apologizing for 60 days before they will review the papers after they received it. I am done with my ds261 last july 7 until now iv bill still not appearing. But I saw some applicants filled ip their ds261 july 10 and iv bill appeared last week. So im hoping my iv bill this week. Ctosdibg my fingers.
malenliamFemalePhilippines2014-08-18 17:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone lately got their IV invoice from NVC?
My husband didnt fill up the ds261 right from the start it appeared together with the aos bill..he thought he dont need to fill it up..I thought he knew about ds261 is important. One month we had waited for the iv bill to be issued..he already paid aos, aos package already sent...until I asked him if he did filled up ds261 and he replied "what ds261?". My husband is so busy at work. And we dont hire atty. I keep on reading everyday here at visa journey. So now...after he filled up the ds261 july 7 Its like ill start counting the days until forever. Im losing hope. OUR CASE STARTED JULY 2013. Our case reached NVC last April this year. I guess I still need 5 months more for the case to complete... waiting is the game I cant stand..

Maybe just go on with the interview and tell the consule that she lost it. If she got approve just tell them passport to follow. Its better to secure new passport..it will take 25 days for express..but if she has a guts to talk to the DFA personel to give her excemption to do it asap, theres no harm in trying.goodluck. I hope she could still find it.goodluck

I went ahead and applied. But you cannot send to a U.S. address. Only to the Philippines. But it would be great if this system can expand to the rest of the world.

Oh..you dont have a relative here. If you have you just need one week and papers will be in your hand.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRFE Marriage Termination when never been married

I am reviewing my petition. We both indicated we are single. I did not write anything on previous spouses. We both input 'none' for both current and former spouses on our G-325A.

Is it possible they think I married the beneficiary from my first K1 petition?

I called USCIS and they suggested to make an appointment with the local USCIS offices but unfortunately the website says that there are no appointments available.

Only other option is to get an attorney.






I think NSO has a website that you can do the online application anf send it to you in US...the payment is using your credit card. Certification of no marriage is the only paper that can prove that you were never been married

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 Approval and How do we update our Timeline now?

Found out that we were approved when I woke up this morning.  Call my love at her work which suprized her cause I have never called her there before.  Actually she thought something may be wrong with me that I called her there.  But when I explained why, she started screaming so loudly.  Good thing she is the shift supervisor and no boss was there.................LOL.

 

As she would say, keep faith in God and all will come to you in good time.

 

Next part, how do we update our timeline?  I can't get the page to open under this new "FB" type of look here in VJ.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDenied!!!

 

Or, maybe he found somebody else, either in the US or in another country, and just used the "tired of waiting" excuse in order to let her down more gently. The reason I think this is because it's the only thing that makes the most sense for him to end this so suddenly on the verge of major movement in their application.

 

I hate to sound negative about this, but he's only human.

"Tired of waiting" is not an excuse... I feel tired of waiting too... sometime.

not easy to have long distance relationship, especially come to the stage of submitted document for K1. I am sure the "negative feeling" is just for awhile... (fingers crossed)

I was denied! Yes, I am! My fiancee denied me before even our papers gets approved.

just to find out that they sent us already RFE mail a couple of days ago...and he didnt even tell me..guess its really over for him.
But still im keeping my faith that somehow miracle does exist for i really love him.
Thank you for this site.so inspiring! Keep it up guys!And Salute to those who conquered the journey!



Not easy till this stage, he must have his reason and don't give him stress from now.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFinished Interview Today

My wife had her interview in Manila today and was approved and they kept her passport, but she was told they could not process her visa as of yet because they did not have her Hong Kong CNCC and gave her a 221(g) stating the same. They told her to check online at the CEAC Visa Status website in 2 weeks. I just called the Hong Kong Police CNCC office and the gentleman that took my call and looked the information up told me they sent the CNCC to the U.S. Embassy on April 24, 8 days ago Hong Kong time.

CNCC only need if she been stay overseas right?
Between, CONGRATS! ^_^
