IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Well YAY for the divorce happened. And Boo for husband being a D$@K ummmm (not nice person) and not sending copy of divorce decree. At least I hope he said where he filed so she can get a copy. Now for my PSA to anyone reading this. Please please get your affairs in order and ducks in a row before filing. I have had 3 friends have to deal with this. One went got married in his country comes back getting ready to file and Whoa nellie she is still married to 1st husband. Now she has to fie for divorce and wait the 6 month waiting period than remarry 2nd hubby than she can file. OMG Next one getting ready to marry getting her things in order and OMG still married (its been 8 years since she last saw him and he is in prison and won't give divorce) now her relationship and upcoming wedding all blown apart. Next friend (this is like the OP's sort of) goes gets married files and they say nope u still married she says no seems the date and the filing and all that was after the fact. fast forward almost 3 years later all fixed he comes on a K1 (even though they married years back and it was legal) and phew all is well. Just please do your due diligence. OP your friend will have to explain why she just forgot that she got married. It doesn't matter whether she thought it valid or not (why would she think so anyway). She signed a document of marriage. She lied on a government form and said she was single. This isn't a case of "what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas". She needs to explain and explain for real and throw herself on the sword of truth. Move the interview. Get copy of the divorce decree. Have a new fresh form with divorced checked and a very good honest sorrowful explanation. The truth always wins in the end. wow a nice one.. thank you very much....i hope everything will be come out good. ty	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-26 10:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Well duh! it was not registered Because SHE never reported herself as married... It's not like a worldwide wire notification goes out for every marriage. It is up to the married person to file and register their marriage! Anyway.. Good luck haha! ty	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-25 23:26:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Good on that front... At least she was divorced... Now to handle why she did not list it on the application... Misrepresentation is a biggie and I am sure others will chime in how maybe to address this issue.... Best of luck for her. yep hopefully she will get trough to this...if not she will be staying away for the hubby forever..unless the hubby willing to give everything in the US just to be with her... she said how come in the philippines her status is single?	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-25 23:08:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Beyond stupid... Yes.... But laziness and/or ignorance abound in most stupid decisions. Just because everything in Vegas is fake does not mean the marriages are as well! Those are real and in ths case, it has real consequences. If no divorce is filed from the ex husband, I would think that it would not take much persuasion for him to do this since it would mean that he is in a bigamous relationship which would be terrible for his life as well. However... First I would cancel any interviews with uscis immediately pending further investigation! my friend said that she get intouch with the ex and he said they are divorce last february 6 2007 but he will never send her the copy.. at least she got an option order a copy online	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-25 23:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Sounds like her ban is over. Assuming those dates are correct. I wonder what she about her previous marriage, the Consulate know they issued a K1 previously, know when she came back, did she say they never married? yes she said never married and the k1 visa never work she stay there least then 6 months	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-25 21:49:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	HOW COME THE FIRST HUSBAND GOT MARRIED TO A NEW FILIPINA..IF THE FIRST ONE NOT YET DIVORCE TOO... yah that's my point too...so i guess he filed the divorce without the first wife.	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-25 21:43:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Just because Clark County shows she is married does not mean a divorce was not issued in some other county/state. Find the divorce paperwork and amend the paperwork or have originals with them at interview and come clean there. I am sure it will go into AP but that is much better than a lifetime ban for trying to pretend it never happened. thank you for the help its helps a lot thank you for the help its helps a lot the guy live in hawaii do you have any idea if they have a public search for divorce decree?? thank you	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 11:37:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	true. Its not yet too late. It might be confirmed she is married, but the divorce decree is separate. The wife should check with the state where the husband#1 lived maybe she can obtain a divorce decree. Or she can contact husband#1 to seek help. thank you very much for the help.	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 11:01:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Clark County recorders search Use this link search for the marriage. This is where Vegas marriages are recorded. If she is married she needs to NOT go to the interview and straighten this out. Claiming you aren't married there isn't going to work. She plans on being in the US soon and it sounds like she may be married here still and as soon as the government figures this out she will be deported and banned for life. If the ex got a quickie divorce/annulment she may be ok but she needs to document this. They will already know she had a K1, they will ask about that K1 during her interview, what was she planning on saying ? wow that is very effective i search it and it was confirm i wonder what's her reaction gonna be... i am very sad for her. what she gonna do now? she send a the ds230 ohhh myy Edited by seventeen hearts, 23 March 2013 - 10:08 AM.	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 10:03:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	i strongly suggest for your friend or her husband to find out if there was a divorce filed in las vegas for their marriage in 2007 or where his husband currently lives. Maybe ex husband will give her a hard time obtaining divorce papers. As what they advised, it can be grounds to lifetime ban in US. goodluck. i was referring to ex husband thank you so much Either he got a divorce before he re-married, in which case see my option 1 (and if he re-married another Philippina and petitioned her, this is likely), or he is also a bigamist. Just because he re-married doesn't mean everything is ok, she must get the divorce cert to prove she was free to marry. Marriages are legal in most countries, even if you married in another country. Ie just because she married first time in the USA does not mean she was single in the Philippines. Married is married. *** two topics on the same issue merged and a third post tacked on as a reply to an old topic of another member removed- please do not post more than once on an issue **** oh i am sorry	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 09:15:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	Op stated the ex husband is also remarried? Either way she's gonna need a certified copy of that divorce decree won't she? Or annulment paperwork if that's what he did. yeah re married same year she came back philippines and that was 2007. and my friend got married here in philippines last 2010 Op stated the ex husband is also remarried? Either way she's gonna need a certified copy of that divorce decree won't she?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	that i don't have any idea. but here in the philippines she never been married..and the ex hubby married couple months after she leave the states last 2007 tsk tsk... by the way my friend got married to another USC last 2010.	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 08:39:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	they have to check in las vegas if the marriage is indeed valid. In PI, if it was not reported to the embassy or consulate i doubt it will be on records. Best option is to double check in las vegas where they got married if it was registered. I do not their policy. She better be prepared during the interview. that i don't have any idea. but here in the philippines she never been married..and the ex hubby married couple months after she leave the states last 2007 tsk tsk...	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 08:36:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Previous k1 visa, no divorce, now CR-1- problem?	The OP said her friend got remarried in the Philippines in 2010. The marriage is not legal if she is already married. Maybe the last husband got the divorce some how, not sure how that would be possible. yah me too and the ex hubby married before that year which is confusing. no papers was sent to her.. she went to NSO to get her cenomar it says there that she is never been married...	seventeen hearts	Female	Philippines	2013-03-23 08:25:00
