Hi! i just have some questions regarding report of marriage..

me and my hubby got married in japan last december 2013..

but we decided not to change my last name yet when we file for us visa so we didnt report our marriage in japan at the phil embassy in japan..now we just finished medical and getting ready for interview on us embassy here in manila on may 2015..now here are my questions:

1. On my interview letter from NVC, it says on the requirements list i need to bring on my interview date is to bring original copy or certified true copy of our marriage certificate..and the problem is the one that we sent them is our only original marriage certificate..thats the one that the ayase city hall in japan gave us coz thats where we got married..its just like a printed paper but thats the original piece the japan city hall gave us..so what should i do or tell them if they ask for the original one?

2. second, i was thinking about the requirements for cfo interview/seminar/meeting, it says that they require an NSO certified or duly authenticated sumthing from the phil embassy on the country we got married into if married abroad, so how am i goin to hve that if we didnt report our marriage in phil embassy in japan? and bcoz my husband aint that rich and we dont hve budget to go back to japan, we dont know what we should do in our situation,,

i really hope someone could advice us and tell us what we could do with our problem...

i really would appreciate...

1. You will need an original marriage certificate for your interview and for the future when asked. So get a couple of copies of the original. Contact the Japanese Embassy in Manila. They are located at 2627 Roxas Boulevard, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines phone 02-551-5710 to see what is the best (fastest) way to secure a new original copy of your marriage certificate.

2. Once you receive your MC, take the original and photocopy of MC and have it duly authenticated by the Philippine Embassy/ Consulate as it is required since you were married abroad.

3. Here is the contact information for the City of Ayase

Telephone: 0467-70-5609

Fax: 0467-77-8477

E-mail:su1220@city.ayase.kanagawa.jp

Good luck.
