Please inbox me or reply to this thread with what i would need to get her a visa and what my chances are. I am in urgent need of help
If the ex- husband has been gone for a long time then maybe she should look at getting a Declaration of Presumptive Death for the Purposes of Remarriage. Chapter 3 Article 41 of THE FAMILY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

It states that if she hasn't seen him for more than four years, or two years if the last time she seen him was in dangerous circumstances, then she can get out of the marriage this way and it's both quicker and cheaper than an annulment. Although most women who use this route this have usually seen the ex in less than four years, it doesn't seem to matter much because the attorneys usually manage to fix it so it looks like they haven't.
