Are you getting married in the Philippines or USA? If you get married in the Philippines, your K1 will be useless, you MUST get married after arrival in the USA for it. If you are asking about the USA, as the previous poster said it depends on the state, but why will your fiance only be there for two weeks?

From what I understand,,, it is Philippine Law,,, Has to do with posting your intention to marry publically for 10 days.

Keep in mind he also, needs to get an affidavit of legal capacity to marry from the US consulate in Manila before you two can apply

for a marriage license.

You can get all of this done in 2 weeks,,, but, will require a bit of coordination.

Good Luck,

hi! just like to share hubby stayed here for only 21 days & we only had 6 days of preparation f0r a civil wedding. We were able to obtain a legal capacity for a day just be sure everything is complete.

I have never heard of anyone getting it done legally in the RP sooner than 10 days due to the law that states it must be posted requesting for legal capacity to marry. This along with other red tape that is customary in the Philippines makes getting it done in under 10 days "legally" difficult. I say leggaly because I knew of 2 people that paid fixers to get it done sooner. I DO NOT recommend a fixer. Both had issues later on during the process due to cutting corners... I am for doing it the legal way... It is always easier to remember the truth.... Subsequently both friends have had marriage issues as well so maybe Karma happened..... Good luck

Don't think 2 weeks is enough time. He needs to get his legal capicity paperwork. A lot of Civil Registrar Offices now require that not only you get a CENOMAR, but your U.S. Fiance also, plus attend a pre-marriage seminar. I do not now if it is age specific. Go to theCivil Registrar's Office and ask for the requirements as soon as possible. If your fiance has ever been married he will need to bring his divorce decrees. Good Luck.

how about the marriage license? did u actually applied before he went here? i assume you can get the legal capacity in the embassy on the same day.

there are cities in manila that can give you marriage license in a day as log as you are a resident of thatplace. one of them is san juan city to be exact.
