Source of statistics on Filipino-American marriages?

Here's another question: How do you know the "Single" Filipina is REALLY SINGLE, LEGALLY speaking? I wonder how many unsuspecting Kanos have married a Filipina, not knowing that her former marriage to the Pinoy husband was never annulled and in the eyes of the Philippine law, still married?

This is a damn good good question... 'specially if you're going to live in the 'Pines.

CENOMAR. It's a doc in PI and is pretty strictly adhered to. If you are in PI and have any doubts ask to girl to show you a copy of hers (assuming it isnt forged). If you are out of country and bringing the girl to live with and marry you, your immigration will require the CENOMAR to demonstrate she is legally available to marry. BTW, you also have to prove you are legally available to marry if you want to obtain a Fiancee Visa.

Been there done that!
