Couple of Questions - Searched but could not find :)

[dhc 0]

Hello All

Beginning the Journey..and hope to mail the package this Friday but maybe I'll triple check it and send Monday.

This board was instrumental in deciding to just put the package together myself and skip hiring a lawyer.

1. What if the address on my personal check is not the same as my current address? I moved and have not had a chance to get new checks printed.

2. My Fiance`e has sent me a copy of her province's Regional Trial Court papers ...I guess it would be and equivalent of a Divorce Judgement for us in the States.. It is labeled DECISION and the last page where the judge would sign it's stamped with the words ORIGINAL SIGNED and the Judges name in Capital Letters.

However it's not stamped with a court seal nor signed by the judge or clerk like a certified copy we would get here in the states Local/Superior courts.

It does say the marriage is Null and Void and an order date and the civil case number..I'm assuming the court system in the Philippines is old school? Would this be OK to include in the package as legal proof that she is again able to re-marry? I believe they will require the official NSO registration documents at the interview and not during the I-129f Filing? I'm hoping someone has seen such paperwork. Or am I worrying for nothing?

Thank you all in advance for your help and knowledge

Almost forgot.

#3. For the G-325 Form....What if I don't remember my ex-wifes Birthday or Date we were married. I only have the copy of our divorce judgment page and it does not say it on there. It's been 15 years so I can't remember anything at all with my ex-wife.

1. No problem. If the check is good, they are happy

2. Good question. They need an "official" document. If this is what is typically issued as "official" you are OK. I imagine they see enough from the Phillipines to know. Maybe someone more familiar with the Phillipines can say for sure. Certified copies of divorce are not required, only that they are copies of the official document registering the divorce.

3. Wow! I wish I could forget all that! Can you come close? They aren't going to do much checking on that and being a few days off could hardly be considered "falsification" and you do not need to provide a copy of the marriage certificate, so just do your best. Just make it your story and stick to it. Was it in the summer? Winter? Was it snowing when you got married? LOL

Before you mail it I'd have your fiancee get a NSO certified CENOMAR[Cerificate of no marriage] and see what it says.

Hi Haole!

Well...our lawyer said the NSO records would be updated in a few weeks, meaning next month. Do I have to wait for

that? The case just ended last month so were pretty sure the annotation that she is single again is not there yet. I thought we needed to show the CENOMAR if and when an interview takes place and not during filing.

I thought while waiting I may as well start the filing?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply, glad I don't have to worry about the check LOL. And Your guess would be as good as mine unfortunately, I really really can't remember, I suck at remembering dates. HAHAHA.

Do you have any mutual friends? Would your mother remember? Surely someone knows this information.

Oh. Just to clarify the lawyer is the one that worked on the marriage nullification in the Philippines not an Immigration Lawyer.

Thanks

My Step Mother remembered, GOD bless her. Thanks!

Would anyone else know more information regarding the court DECISION PAPERS?

Thanks ALL!!
