[johnvil 2]

Hi! I am a k1 visa holder, entered the US last Sept 22, 2001, me and my fiance got married Oct 7. I applied for SSN yesterday, my question is, do i need to go to the immigration office here in my place to report our marriage? Or i can just send the application for Adjustment of Status through mail? Anybody here who have an idea? Thank you

You report your marriage to the Philippines Consulate which has jurisdiction over the city where you got married. You will find the application form and the instructions for reporting your marriage on the Consulate's website.

That's correct, you do not need to go to the immigration office to report your marriage. You can report your marriage through the mail to the Philippines Consulate which has jurisdiction over the city where you got married. Or, you can go to the Consulate in person. Or, you can go to one of the Consulate's outreach programs which are listed on the Consulate's website. By the way, reporting your marriage is not mandatory unless you want to amend or renew your passport.
