Greetings.
I was divorced by my Filipina wife in US on 2002. Married a US citizen on the same year. They got divorced in 2007. Then she got married again in 2008.
She got her US citizenship on 2008. She and her husband adopted our children on 2012 but were not able to bring them in the US.
My problem is that my live in partner will be leaving next year for US via F1 visa. She is planning to petition me (F2A). CAN WE GET MARRIED ABROAD? and use that marriage certificate for her petition? Will the USCIS honor/accept our marriage certificate abroad or will they require me to get a Philippine NSO certified marriage certificate since I am a Filipino?
Petition to recognize foreign divorce decree in not an option since she was still a Filipino citizen when the divorce was approved. I filed an annulment but was denied. I have secured a copy of our Divorce Final Judgment and copies of her Marriage Records.
Any comment and suggestion will be much appreciated.
Thanking you all in advance.
