Hi, Sir! I have a question, I have an american husband and we are married here in the Philippines last year, after 2 weeks we got our certificate of marraige and send it to the VA since he is a veterans. Is our marraige valid there in the US? I am now one of his beneficiaries in the VA and now I am going to start school in the Philippines using his GI Bill since it is free. Looking forward to your response, thank you😊

I agree with your legal opinion. I'm just worried that Filipinos in the US who had a prior marriage to a fellow Filipino has also guarantee of a criminal liability in the Philippines. Different jurisdiction, different laws, Atty. Anyway, thanks for this helpful information. Would love to hear from you to exchange information about certain impacts in marriages of Filipino in the US. Have a great day. God Bless you. Stay safe.

Hindi ako maka apply ng fiance visa to U.S.. anu po peding gawin para ma ipa Divorce ko ang kasal namin ng ex husband ko . Sana mag response thankyou ..
It depends in their conscience but if youre in Philippine territory jurisdiction youre still married to that person.If you visit the Philippines,American,other foreigner spouse is not recognize in the Philippines.The Filipino spouse could still claim youre married to him/her legally,Its better to clear air out to both.Annull your Philippine marriage to your Filipino spouse both civil,church(?)marriages to prevent complication of jurisdiction issues,it takes a lot of time,legal financial issues.Filipino citizens are still under the jurisdiction.of Philippine marriage laws.
But your marriage here in the US is recognised ONLY HERE in the US. When you go back to the Philippines, your maariage in the US is noy recognized IF your previous marriage in the Philippines has not yet been annulled
Wow!!! Really??? My God! Thank you. I am 11 yrs separated. I like to be totally free. My God thank you because i can not afford to pay annulment. My wedding is only mayor or civil wedding. Sir thank you. Big thanks i am feeling happy to heard.
I believe you have neglected to say that the divorce you described is not recognized in the Philippines and the person will possibly be prosecuted in the Philippines should they ever return there...please correct me if I am wrong.
The quickest way from the Philippines is become an OFW and get a divorce from that country as they will be a resident there. If they are already overseas resident it’s a lot easier.
How about changing name on the Philippines passport after the divorce process granted, I would probably get back my maiden name how it possible to change since divorce is not recognize in the Philippines.
@@ceciliensiaboc5004 a divorce is recognised to Filipinos if they are a resident overseas in another country. But they need to remain a resident overseas until the divorce proceedings is complete. Some American got done for adultery as he was living in Philippines. went back to the states to file for divorce but was still living in the Philippines with his new partner. Got remarried when the divorce came through and the ex filed for adultery charges. So because he was classed as living in the Philippines the divorce wasn’t valid.
True but if you want to remarry another filipino and you only divorce in the US ,you still required to annul that marriage because you are still married in the Philippines, therefore you cannot merry her unless she’s living here in US as well.
Hello. I'm a married filipina but got separated. Now, I have a Romanian boyfriend. What is the best thing to do to exit the country Philippines if my reason is I was invited by him. Or is it possible that we can get married in Romania?
Thank you for sharing this.video.i've been watching your tv program few years ago, but it was aired late night in the Philippines..i am happy i found on youtube..more power..thanks for your advise..God bless
Even they files divorce in US. Filipino still need to clear or change their name to single. Most all Filipino used their husband lastname. And if the apply for spouse visa they will need all the documents. Like Passport, Birth cert. cenomar and it should be issued by PSA.
We knew there is no Divorce in the Philippines , what would be the status of the one left behind in the Philippines if the other half will file a divorce in U. S.
If a woman from the Philippines has been separated from her spouse for 10 years and she met a man from the US and he filed for a fiancee visa for her to come to America and get married. How can she come over to America if her marriage in the Philippines had not yet been annulled? Immigration papers require women from the Philippines to get a "single status" proof that she is really single and free to marry her fiance? I do not believe it is this easy as he is stating here.
In this case,"the US should not ask any pertinent papers just to prove you are single status"🧐,it's" beyond their law to require what they call here in the Philippines Cenomar?" Not directly necessary to get remarry ,"just be married in the US and register the marriage there,until the Civil registry there would found out you are married within their territory" 🧐🤯,if their "computer program of instructions is automated to release all the personal information regarding Civil Status" there🧐💀😱🔎💯📖🐍Mat.13:18-23,John1:47,"ang hirap pala maging uragon,you cannot just remarry"😋Mat.19:3-9,Mat.5:48, but in my case i can," in other country not requiring certificate of single status",isn't this lawyer is what he tried to specify the problems in remarrying with married status in the Philippines but longtime separated? Huwag na kasing mag-asawa,the way i'm in 52, never to be ambitious to remarry, just to bring back my maiden surname as simple as that should i think about Divorce petition here😍John1:47,Rev.21:1-4,📘or maybe i can remarry much younger than me but physically matured,and mentally immature? And so i am still in balanced😱😋
This could be true for IMMIGRATION PURPOSES. But if the Spouse who is in the USA, is still a PH citizen during the obtention of the divorce, he or she is contracting a bigamous marriage from the perspective of the PH as the divorce is not validly obtained. There are consequences for doing this. Yes, the divorce may be valid in USA if the law states that divorce is valid if it is validly obtained from said country. But this is a circumvention of the law in the eyes of the PH law. In the PH, you are still considered married. Also, how will the divorce court obtain jurisdiction over the person of the spouse who is in the PH? well, unless he signs the divorce papers sent to him (which may be accepted by courts as acquisition of jurisdiction).
You have to annulled first before marry a US citizen.Philipines not allowed to a Pilipino married, to have a visa to married to another foriegn ...They have to know your status..if you abandoned your family or your pilipino husband,just because you find a more good partner...so you have to make legally annulled..
I read that the Pope requested annulment to be free, my future spouse is not quite sure if that is true. Did you hear of that? If the president agreed I'm not sure
Thank you for this beautiful information glad to watched and subscribe this channel Im annulled in the church already but not yet in the civil court here in the Philippines they said it takes time and lots of money to spend So for now I'm so happy that you share about this topic Godbless!
Is there such a thing? Annulment in the church in the Philippines,i think they don't have civil registry there officially giving them authorization to annul the marriage,absurdity though it may helps if it is also recognizable by the PSA-Civil registry that don't require court rulings and erase the marriage any moment allowed first by the church,but impossible😋
Isnt chruch annulment enough? If its already annulled by the church thetes nothing more civil courts can do about a marriage thats no longer existing. Right?
In the Philippines, church and government is separate. If you are annulled in the church but still married in Civil Registry then you are still married under the law of the Philippines
hi atty. michael,is it possible to apply a divorce even you are only under a visit visa?if not what kind of visa only is applicable to file a divorce in the us if you are married in the philippines..thank you

Thank you for sharing this video. My problem was my ex husband he was a US citizen. He don't know how to apply in California. many times we discussed about divorce but he always told me that they will not recognize the divorce in California because we only married here in Philippines and not in US. I was waiting for long time to end up our marriage I wait him to file the divorce. because it's been 7 years since he left and never came back. I hope someone can help me what should I do 🥺. I got so much stressed 😥
You can get a divorce in California, even if you get married to your American husband in the Philippines. Your American husband maybe doesn't want a divorce, that's why he's lying to you.
I'm working in hongkong for over 20 years with return in Philippines, just to shoulder the financial of my children until I found my boyfriend and really wanna be with him
Goodmorning Attorney, Im Joana and Im already married here in the Philippines, and Im applying for U.S. Derivative Citizenship claim for adults. my Question is will my marital status will have a negative effect on my claim? thank you attorney.
What if you didn't get divorced here in America and you are married in the Phils. but you were able to marry an American citizen here in the US what will happen.
In my humble opinion if you are a Filipina woman marrying an American its all good, but if you are a Filipino man marrying an American woman the laws in America makes it too risky and I almost feel sorry for you if you do it..
If my Filipino fiancé comes to the United States i.e. Georgia what are the parameters/requirements for her to file for a divorce from her spouse in the Philippines?
That’s the reason why an American told his Filipina estranged spouse in the Philippines that it’s only him who can remarry after cheating & breaking up with her… even if he won’t file for divorce in US. He loves the fact that she can’t remarry so he didn’t file for divorce. I hope the Philippines will stop allowing marriage of a Filipino citizen with an American in the Philippines. If they wanna get married, they better do it in US to prevent Americans from taking advantage of Filipinos and to make sure that both parties have the option to file for divorce or annulment which is more affordable & faster in US.
I thought that is applicable if the Filipino is already a US citizen, then he can file a divorce in the US and that divorce should be filed in a Philippine court to be effective here in the Philippines. Correct me if I am wrong.
What is the person is living in the Philippines and the American wants to marry that person does that person need the annulment to be able to marry her in the US?
Good Afternoon, My Mom petition me from Philippines to USA. I received my approved US immigrant petition accompanied with my son. Her Mom and I were not married and separated since 2013. I am the one who took care to my son since the time we're separated and nothing support came from her mother. Can I Ask a question Do I need the consent of her mother for our US petition or Not? My Son is 11 yrs old.
Garfinkel just just want to ask you a question if a US citizen is married in the Philippines and they got a divorce in the US can the US citizen Get remarried in the Philippines
Thr problem is that the filipino needs to be under the us courts jurisdiction. this means they need to be living in the courts jurisdiuction a certain amount of time...normally six months. tourist visa is only six months so hard for filipino to do thid
Hello! If a Philippine woman is not divorce only separated no annulment no divorce at all. Can she travel to U.S. if she marry a American citizen? Will the embassy approve her if she travel to U.S? Thank you!
Pls. Make a distinction between civil Divorce and church annulment...if one is married in the Catholic church and is residing in the US even if he or she is civily divorced in the US she or he cannot remarry in the church if she or he is not granted church annulment with her previous Church marriage...he or she can only do civil marriage again but not church wedding...
DF you are correct. As a majority of Filipinos are catholic, the church in the US will require an annulment to be married again in/by the church. This is a Vatican rule.
Hello, i just want to ask if, is it possible to use a marriage certificate through online marriage as 1 of the requirements to apply for visa going to the US? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and stay safe
I cannot find the answer to this anywhere... I was married in the Philippines 7 years ago. I brought my Filipino wife here to the US. After 6 years we got divorced. Although I know my status in the Philippines is still married, but I have been engaged for the past 8 months to a new Filipina. Would I be able to file a k1 visa for her? Even my status is married in the Philippines still? But I am divorced in the US
Sir thank you for this video.I just like to ask,what can I do if I want to go in US as a tourist because I have american boyfriend and I never meet him in person yet I just talked to him online,,I got married and separated and my ex has wife already,but in my passport and identification I am single.what do I need to put in my tourist visa application and what I need to tell for my interview because I don't like to lie.I want to tell all the truth.
Ng apply me Dec 2019..ds 160 visa tourist visa.. Nklagay sa passport ko single name ko but married me at nk process annulment.. Isa yn sa ask Nila... Then denied visa ko.. They don't state the reason pero un lng ntandaan ko un isang tanong sa akin.. Pero married nlgay ko sa status.. Kc dapat totoo lhat ssbhin mo at un ang totoo sa akin..

Yan nman case ng friend ko.. . Kc sa US embassy mga Americans interviewer.. Sa 1st step lng mga Filipino then guard.. Lahat empleyado nla halos American..
I knew someone who did this, she fools her husband in the Philippines. Just to fixed her visa she told to her husband about this. Marriage convenience in America. The husband signed all the documents she sent in the Philippines and brought to a lawyer for a notary. Because he trusted her as a wife. At the end. The husband found that the wife and American guy is living in real and dumped him upon got those documents. But I asked my cousin in USA if the marriage wouldn’t lasted for 3 years. She can ask their immigration to deport the woman.!
US marriage for convenience has been in USA society for decades ago.They use different strategies ,different stories mostly economic matters,Still global existence.Personally knew some of them.
Attorney I have question if I am married in the US but separated since 1990 my husband never apply a divorced, never help me at all can I marry in the Philippines. I am dual citizen and my new fiancée he is from the US .What do I need to do .
Attorney, what about an overstaying tourist who is still married to her Philippine husband? Can the overstaying tourist who is also working without a work permit annul by filing a divorce petition in the US to sever her Philippine marriage? Can she use that document to remarry in the US, using that Divorce decree? Does the tourist need to become either a permanent resident or a U.S. citizen before she can file a Divorce to declare her Philippine marriage null and void? Thank you very much in advance, Attorney Gurfinkel. God bless you and your family always!
What if the guy or the girl contest it via adultery or whatsoever case even if theyre already separated for..like lets say...10 years...but in the Philippines no record for legal separation or annulment...or even in any other country which they recognized marriage even theyre separated?
Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting and informative videos sir.. I'm watching til the end .. I really excited to your next upload. God bless

Get an attorney
You can get a divorce in California, even if you get married to your American husband in the Philippines. Your American husband maybe doesn't want a divorce, that's why he's lying to you.

If my Filipino fiancé comes to the United States i.e. Georgia what are the parameters/requirements for her to file for a divorce from her spouse in the Philippines?
That's good thank you for the this information😘
Thank you this information sir
Can my fiance give me fiance visa? I am married here in the Phils.
Thank you very much Sir, to sharing for us.....
We Were married in the Philippines and now we are both here in US and US citizen. We got divorced here in US. Can I marry again in the Philippines?
Yes, I did that. My only problem is when I am on a greencard, my US married name does not match with my Philippine passport so traveling is a hassle.
Apply for citizenship...
I hope this also applies in Canada
It does.
Thanks for the info atty.
Very informative.
Thank u..
wow nice ...thanks for the info...
Important information.
New subscriber here,thank you for this video
That’s the reason why an American told his Filipina estranged spouse in the Philippines that it’s only him who can remarry after cheating & breaking up with her… even if he won’t file for divorce in US. He loves the fact that she can’t remarry so he didn’t file for divorce. I hope the Philippines will stop allowing marriage of a Filipino citizen with an American in the Philippines. If they wanna get married, they better do it in US to prevent Americans from taking advantage of Filipinos and to make sure that both parties have the option to file for divorce or annulment which is more affordable & faster in US.
Atty Michael thank you so much for information that you shared
If your married in. Philippines and USA do you need to file an annualment in Philippines?
I thought that is applicable if the Filipino is already a US citizen, then he can file a divorce in the US and that divorce should be filed in a Philippine court to be effective here in the Philippines. Correct me if I am wrong.
where's your answer?
Thanks for the information
Very informative, thanks for sharing 🙋

Nice...i hope i could someday and be free...as i am 10 yrs separated😞😞😞

Hello! If a Philippine woman is not divorce only separated no annulment no divorce at all. Can she travel to U.S. if she marry a American citizen? Will the embassy approve her if she travel to U.S?
Thank you!
Wonderful News
A very powerful message
well done 👍 👍 👍
Thanks for sharing this great info. God bless
Pls. Make a distinction between civil Divorce and church annulment...if one is married in the Catholic church and is residing in the US even if he or she is civily divorced in the US she or he cannot remarry in the church if she or he is not granted church annulment with her previous Church marriage...he or she can only do civil marriage again but not church wedding...
DF you are correct. As a majority of Filipinos are catholic, the church in the US will require an annulment to be married again in/by the church. This is a Vatican rule.
No our marriage is civil not church.
Hello, i just want to ask if, is it possible to use a marriage certificate through online marriage as 1 of the requirements to apply for visa going to the US?
Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and stay safe
How about if the Filipino couple divorced in Canada, can the other person marry a US citizen in the US?
I cannot find the answer to this anywhere... I was married in the Philippines 7 years ago. I brought my Filipino wife here to the US. After 6 years we got divorced. Although I know my status in the Philippines is still married, but I have been engaged for the past 8 months to a new Filipina. Would I be able to file a k1 visa for her? Even my status is married in the Philippines still? But I am divorced in the US
Thanks👍❤️

Same situation
I knew someone who did this, she fools her husband in the Philippines. Just to fixed her visa she told to her husband about this. Marriage convenience in America. The husband signed all the documents she sent in the Philippines and brought to a lawyer for a notary. Because he trusted her as a wife. At the end. The husband found that the wife and American guy is living in real and dumped him upon got those documents. But I asked my cousin in USA if the marriage wouldn’t lasted for 3 years. She can ask their immigration to deport the woman.!
Thanks for important news for the people
US marriage for convenience has been in USA society for decades ago.They use different strategies ,different stories mostly economic matters,Still global existence.Personally knew some of them.
Attorney I have question if I am married in the US but separated since 1990 my husband never apply a divorced, never help me at all can I marry in the Philippines. I am dual citizen and my new fiancée he is from the US .What do I need to do .
Attorney, what about an overstaying tourist who is still married to her Philippine husband? Can the overstaying tourist who is also working without a work permit annul by filing a divorce petition in the US to sever her Philippine marriage? Can she use that document to remarry in the US, using that Divorce decree? Does the tourist need to become either a permanent resident or a U.S. citizen before she can file a Divorce to declare her Philippine marriage null and void? Thank you very much in advance, Attorney Gurfinkel. God bless you and your family always!
