More details to this question:
I want to petition my Girlfriend here but shes still legally married in the Philippines but they have been separated. They do not have a divorce law there and annulment takes so long due to being a Catholic and PRO-marriage country. Does she need to be legally annulled for me to marry her here? Can I petition her as Fiance?

You can not petition her until you are legally married. You cant get married until she is legally divorced. In certain circumstances, the US Immigration laws will recognize a divorce if it is obtained in the USA. This is not a Do It Yourself Project. You should retain counsel to file and work on the case. Counsel anywhere in the US can represent you.
