Sounds like you are military. You need to make an appointment with the Legal Office. They handle that sort of thing all the time. Best of luck to you both!I have an important question about bringing your spouse to the states?
From what I have read, you have to go to the Legal Department of your service. You have to obtain a Certificate of Legal Capacity.
In case you really want her to be with you in the States sooner, the faster way is not via a spouse visa [which is what you will get if you marry her here] but a fiancee visa. A fiancee visa will take less than 12 months to be processed. She will go to the USA via that fiancee visa, you will have to marry her within 3 months after her arrival and all will be well. A spouse visa takes longer, usually, it's one year. One friend got to leave the Philippines after a year and 3 months.
When you get to the Philippines, you have to go to the US embassy here and obtain an Affidavit in lieu of certificate of legal capacity to marry, in case you want to push through marrying her here in the Philippines.
Good luck and hope that you will have that loving Filipina wife reputation! :)
Well i think you should be contacting the state department and get the offical version
fiance visa is pretty quick. ultimately you should get a immigration attorney. all said and done they are about 3 grand but for all the running around and possible legal problems it will be Worth it and I'm sure she is worth it. women form the Philippines are fantastic and loving. good luck
