Hi. Just have a question here.
I was married when I was 20 & my husband was 21. We were married in the Manila, Philippines. We didn't submit any parental consent or advice before our marriage took place but rest assured we were given a proper marriage license (I've checked on the city hall & it is valid & registered under our names) & our marriage has records on NSO (have a copy on hand).
Now I'm afraid that USCIS would investigate or look for this parental consent. Do you think they would investigate on that or would they need it in any case?
By the way, I am married to a green card holder & believes that I have to wait 5 or more years before I get an interview. By that time I'm already 26.
I hope you could enlighten me in this situation.
Thank you,
Jana

Phillipines law I believe requires it if you are under 21.

According to Philippine Law: 18-21 requires Parental Consent

Well, then there's always a chance that they'll need it.
