CENOMAR

[Hank_ 9,173]

how am I wrong?

Advice tends to make the person believe they do not need to request a CENOMAR, just have the anullment documents, reality is they HAVE to apply for a CENOMAR.

OK?

I was married but then already terminated. So all i need to bring is my proof of annulment?

Thank you!

yes bring it.

Annulment papers are not "all' she needs to bring. I would advise her to apply for her CENOMAR and bring the resulting Form No. 5 to her interview because the consular officers can, and do, ask for it. Keep in mind that annulment papers do not prove she's single. She could have remarried since her annulment.

Further, the U.S. Embassy Manila K-1 interview preparation instructions specifically list a CENOMAR as a required document for the interview.

Additionally, consular officers also can, and do, ask for Certificates of Marriage for those who are annulled, for those who's husbands are deceased, and for those whose foreign divorce was recognized by the court. It's advised to bring those to the interview too, unless you want to risk a 221g.

how am I wrong? you cant get a CENOMAR if you been married in the Philippines and it was filed with the NSO.

I went through a K-1 process in Manila already, I even went there to the interview with my fiancee at that time. We were approved. So I have first hand experience. She had never been married so she had a CENOMAR but while there I was chatting with other people there for their K-1 interview. One girl was married but her filipino husband died, she had the death certificate, they never asked her for a cenomar or a cemar. This was in 2009 but I dont think much has changed except now the Embassy has a new building, I was there 3 weeks ago, its nice.

I encourage you to keep reading here on visa journey because you will find out that others have very different experiences than the one person who you talked to at the Embassy.

Bring the CEMAR along with your proof of Annulment. While it's ture that they don't always ask for it do you want the take the chance of being one of those who is asked but didn't get it?

My wife was never married before and they asked for her NSO CEMAR for her CR-1 Visa! Luckily we had obtained it so there was no delay.
