I was reading a review on the embassy in the Philippines and I noticed that they bring they cenomar along with all the documents to be checked initially. Do you need a cenomar when you go to the interview? I did not see it on the checklist for civil documents unless I missed it? Thank you in advance for your help... good luck on all of our journey...

It is always best to bring it just in case so yes.

 


Does cenomar has expiration? Do we need to get a new one? I didn't know that we need cenomar at the time of interview until I read it on the Philippine embassy reviews

Cenomar has to be updated and probably about 30 days away from the date it was issued. I was asked for it in the interview but the Filipina consul just took a look at it. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck :)

You're right might as well have it ready and bring it in the interview. But how come it was not on the list? Only the marriage certificate. Either way just to be safe we will bring it. Good thing I read the reviews or else I wouldn't find out. Thanks for all of your response.

Well, if you are already married you don't need it. You need the marriage certificate, I just saw that you're going through CR1. My bad. CENOMAR is just for Fiancee Visas.

Again, good luck and just be calm :)

That's what I thought. But I was reading the review on the embassy, and I read that they have given or asked about their cenomar with other documents. I am confused. Maybe I read it wrong that it supposed to be for k1? I need to check that again lol. Again thanks for the info ?

it would surely be best if you can bring it, most of my friends who have done their interviews already advice me to do the same thing. anyway, since you are married already, the one you have to request is the CEMAR (certificate of marriage). That doc. will show whom a person (the requester) is married to and how many times that person (the requester) got married, it will also show if the requester is annulled or something. the form will still be the pink one (marriage cert/cenomar form).

hope this one helps and good luck. :) :) :)

Yes, its your proof that the marriage is real and registered legally in the country. Its fast to get it anyway or if you have time, you can order it online.

Good luck :)

When my husband had his interview, the Filipino consul asked for his CENOMAR (or in his case, Advisory on Marriage) and also mine. It is on the US Embassy website that those interviewing need to bring their CENOMAR to the interview; when you are already married, NSO will give you an Advisory on Marriage, which is basically an equivalent to CENOMAR. Many people have been given 221g slips and placed on AP because they did not provide the Advisory on Marriage/CENOMAR so I suggest having it to avoid delays.
