CENOMAR for USC??

[John*&*his*GG 2]

My fiance went to some seminar and they are telling her that she needs a CENOMAR for me(the USC) too. Is this true? I thought it was only for the citizen of Philippines.

This is for the CFO

what a USC need is the Capacity to marry and you need to get that here in USM... and CENOMAR is only for your fiance.

I'm not in the Philippines how can I get it?

Legal capacity to marry? how can the USC get it if they are not here? They do ave website and they should be particular on what they ask before making people go there whewww....but anyways, isn't the divorce decree with court seal enough for them? CENOMAR for USC???? doesn't make sense unless they may had seen in divorce paper that the USC had previous marriage in the Philippines...IMHO

yes it is true. You need to get a Cenomar here in the Philippines. That is needed for the CFO. I just found out also that they need a Cenomar for USC. I have two friends who told me about it. One attended the seminar last week and the other friend is in the US now.

if ur on a K1 petition and petitioner is a USC- foreigner then u dont have too, but sometimes copy of your passport and divorce decree they ask for it... but if ur a fil-am yes maybe u should too...

I've never been married. We are K1.

This is interesting. I've been following this Philippines forum for almost a year now and this is the first I've heard of a USC petitioner needing a CENOMAR for his/herself for the CFO, or a Legal Capacity to Marry document other than his/her divorce decree (if married before). I'm following this one closely as well as searching other sources for info.

right Teddy this is the 1st time i read too that a USC needs a CENOMAR from NSO... come to think of it... how will a USC will gonna be issued a CENOMAR if his name is not enrolled in the data base of NSO.. not a filipino citizen... usually i read they're asking.. copy of divorce decree, copy of passport (USC)... but yeah i think if the petitioner is a Fil-Am yes maybe... the CFO will require.. but i doubt CENOMAR for USC...

I reviewed a few past posts here and so far it seems that a USC has to have a document of Legal Capacity to contract Marriage from the USEM before they can get a marriage license and get married in the Philippines. It was some time ago, but I got married in the Philippines and I seem to recall having to get something like that - but that was because I was getting married there. I do remember that it was no easy task to get married there.

I have not found anything yet regarding CENOMAR or Legal Capacity to Marry for K-1 petitioner. I have also sent a message to my Filipina Fiancee VISA Service rep and will post his response as well as anything else I can find on this. I have a particular interest in this since I was married in the Phils before and even though I have divorce decree terminating that marriage here int he US, I wonder if I may need Lgal Capacity to contract Marriage or CENOMAR for my fiancee's CFO seminar.

Personally I think there might be some misunderstanding between my fiance and the cfo but apparently there is a document that I can get from the Missouri Dept of Health. I'm get it and hope that it works. Hopefully they will take a photocopy of it. I figure even if they are telling my fiance wrong one document won't hold us back any longer. Not sure why she went to the CFO before the interview though.

There is no such thing as a CENOMAR for the US citizen for a K-1 visa.
