Marriage Certificate question

[simpson_121919 0]

Hello everybody, I just got married in the Philippines in Tacloban City on August 19,2008. I now have to start the paper processes and have alot of questions. Any help will be appreciated.

I had a question about my marriage certificate that I got from the local civil registery in Tacloban City. I know that the one that we get from NSO that is sent to US embassy in Manila is the one you want. My question is that for filing the I-130, will the local civil registery marriage certificate be enough or will they want to see the NSO marriage certificate. Has anybody done it this way and if so I would really like to hear how it went. When I was down there I went to the NSO and was told it could take anywhere from a month to 4 months so I am hoping I dont have to wait for all that. My wife will be checking up on it to speed up the process.

It will take faster if you do Electronic filing to NSO. It took my marriage certificate appear in NSO database for a month,

We submitted NSO certified marriage certificate together with our application just to be sure. I guess 4 months is way too long. If your wife knows somebody in the municipality maybe she could ask help to do this for her (connection sometimes could be a big help). We got our NSO certified copy a month after our wedding date.

You could request for a NSO certified copy of your marriage certificate (they call it SECPA, i believe). It's on blue security paper. There really is no way you can expedite your registration with NSO...unless you know somebody.
