Parents are married eversince but on my Birth Cert they are not

[Loveeboo 0]

Hi guys, newbie here. A friend told me about this awesome website ive should've done it before so i dont need to hire atty from AOS to ROC and now im a USC. Oh well.. :-)

I will be in the process of petitioning my mother but on my birth certificate it says they are not married. I was surprised to see that because it's a public knowledge that they are and i haveall the docs to prove it (i was born 1978 and they got married 1975) Anyway, mom is of course using her married name until now even if dad is out of our lives (they are not annuled, more so divorce, there's no divorce in the Phils) And of course, when i start the petition, she will put that she is married because she is.

then, when i asked the Local civil registrar in P.I.,they said i need a lawyer to correct it.

Really? Lawyeragain? Will that "NOT MARRIED" thing on my birth cert affect my petition for mom?

Please help me. It's making me stressed. my understanding is that i have to prove the USCIS that we are mother-daughter.. or should all the information on my birth cert match with hers including her marriage cert?

If you have a copy of their marriage certificate, I dont see any problem.

You can still file for your mom because all that's needed to prove mother-daughter relationship is her name reflected as "mother" on your BC.

Ofcourse she would need to submit her NSO MC to NVC later on. Her marital status will not affect the petition in a negative way so don't worry.

Good luck.

I don't see how married or not married would affect your petition, after all she is your mom either way.

Did your mom get a CENOMAR from NSO? That may be a good place to start.

Your BC is the most and the best proof of relationship as mother and daughter,you are the one who will petition your mother,i dont think there will be an issue about the marriage cert of your parents..and you said you have all the document to prove that they are married..if they have marriage cert from NSO then you are good to go..

That is where I was heading, if you request a CENOMAR from NSO and a person is married they issue a CEMAR - certificate of marriage.

Hank, hmmm yes i think we'll gonna do that Cemar thing. Thanks for making me realize that.

Again, thank you all. Salamat.
