for annulled cases that have done k1 visa

[ascxvz 4]

hi, i am now filling out forms and preparing documents for my interview..i happen to notice tha t some annulled beneficiary stated in their post that the consulate asked for the FINALITY OF ANNULMENT...i want to know where possibly they gotit from? cause i have my Marriage Cert. w/ Annotations that stated that my marriage is already null and void and also the decision of the court but the finality, i dont since remembering, i have heard this from my attorney while my annulment was granted by the Philippine court, he will have to pass the finality to the Civil Registry so that the Civil Registry would send a notice to the NSO that my marriage was declared null and void...so i believe my finality was submitted in the Civil Registry, now, i dont know where to get it from? do i get the finality from the Civil Registry or from my attorney? and for VJ members that is done with their papers...did you ticked on DS 156 form 'single' (never married) (as this is the only option i could select). And filled out the former husband's name box and his birthdate...

Hoping that for VJ members who have done k1 visa would answer as this is getting so tricky...i dont get it why its so hard to fill out forms when annulled...its like they need to add it to their system...lots of couple here in the philippines are getting annulled...like when i went to NBI earlier...after lining up for 2 hours when i reached the window, the lady who encodes my information told me that their system is not programmed to put "AKA" (w/c i am requesting to show that i dont have criminal record when i was married) she was telling me to refund my payment and go to Taft Avenue branch for my request...well, i dont want to...after lining for 2 hours (uhg!!!) what i did was i just applied for NBI having my married surname since i have my NBI of my single name last March 30, 2011...(1 year validity)...Was just venting out...sorry guys...its just so confusing for annulled like me...no options for us...need system change for the gov't forms...Lots i know are being annulled now...

HOPING FOR YOUR RESPONSES...THANKS SO MUCH...ALL RESPONSES WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!

did you ticked on DS 156 form 'single' (never married) (as this is the only option i could select).

You must be talking about DS230. According to those who have been interviewed, it is not needed.

You just need DS 156, DS 156K, DS 157.

Just explain your previous marriage on the DS 156 and 156K. You can't provide a CENOMAR since you are "previously married" so a different certification from NSO, I forgot how it's exactly called, Certification of nullity of Marriage????

If we are looking at the same DS156 it is not asked, those questions are from DS230, you don't need it.

DS156 and DS156k are the ones that has something " Do not write below this line"

Oh I am sorry, I was looking at the old version, We need the one with the barcode..sorry. Just say "single (never married)" because. Divorce doesn't apply to you, separated are just for legally separated but not allowed to marry, anyway.

Thanks again for taking time to reply...with persistence i found the link ----- http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwhnv15.html

Female applicants with legally terminated or annulled marriage must tick Single (Never Married) on Item 17.

However, they must explain to the interviewing officer the history of their previous marriage.

The Finality of annulment is included inn the annulment packet that court gives you. That's together with the Decision, annulment decree and certificate of finality.

I am annulled and I clicked Divorced in it. It wasn't a problem with the consul.

Ijust went through the interview under the K1. I was never asked for any other DS forms other than the DS156,157 and 156K

Thanks so much...my attorney only gave me Decision from the Regional Trial Court and Certificate of Marriage w/ Annotation from NSO...i guess i have to get it from him...am i right about thinking that?

yes you are right

When my girls anullment was finished she had to take it in person to the registrar for annotation then send back to the court within 30 days. Then she got her copies from the attorney. Then we got her Cenomar and marriage certificate with the anullment annotation. It is common there for the court clerk to sign most of that so make sure you have a Finality Decree that is signed by the judge. the first two papers we got were only signed by the clerk and I felt we would get an RFE. At NSO we had an employee there help us list maiden and married name as the NBI should include any names or nicknames. Feel free to message me here and later when Augie is on she can explain better than me and in your language if needed. Jim.

Thanks so much for that....so nice of you to help...In my case, i had a contract with my attorney as package...meaning he will do everything and i will just have to pay the necessary fee that he asked (w/c by the way is a big amount). So just waiting for everything and once done...he just gave me the Decision from the REgional Trial Court and Marriage Certificate w/ annotation from NSO (means i have 2) and missing 2 more Annulment Decree and Certificate of Finality...AM I CORRECT ON THAT? THANKS

[Jim N Augie 16]

Your welcome, glad to help. It is always so complicated ha ha. What your saying sounds about right, from what I remember the Finality you want is after registrar notation. But later when Augie is on she can explain better than me. And yeah everything comes with a fee but he should give you your papers with no charge, they owe you a final copy of everything. By the way just wondering how long did your anullment take? Jim.

[Jim N Augie 16]

Looking here at my papers what we have is.......Decree of nullity of Marriage signed by judge , the instruction page telling us to register the decree within 30 days also signed by judge, a paper from civil registrar (LCR form 3A)shows the marriage and annotation at bottom that was anulled and showing registry was forwarded to NSO to be recorded, a new marriage certificate showing it was anulled. Our Finality page was only signed by the clerk thats why we used the others. Jim.
