Question about CFO and Cemar?

[redfeather 19]

My gf has a Cemar and an Oregon divorce decree, and I told her that these are both recognized in the Philippines now.  My gf is concerned that when she goes for her CFO that they will ask to see a CENOMAR, and she does not have a CENOMAR...she only has her CEMAR and Oregon Divorce Decree.  I had to submit both her CEMAR and Oregon Divorce Decree when I sent in my K1 packet.  I told her the CFO will accept what she brings which is the CEMAR and Divorce Decree...does anyone know if this is correct?  I believe it is correct, but would like to calm her fear about this topic.

My gf also worked in Abu Dahbai and she returned to the Philippines in 2015 where she has been until present day.  My gf is concerned that the CFO will want to see both an NBI from Abu Dhabai and from the Philippines.  I have told her that the CFO only wants to see a NBI from the Philippines?  Does anyone know if this is correct?  Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Below are the requirements directly from the CFO website.  NBI isn't even on the list.  NBI is listed as a secondary ID but not a requirement for the counseling session.

 

 

Counseling Requirements:

No need to photocopy any registration document
No need to submit ID photos

1. Two (2) original valid identification cards with photograph (see samples below);
2. Duly completed guidance and counseling form to be secured at the CFO;
3. If married in the Philippines, original Certificate of Marriage on security paper from the Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA);
4. If married overseas, original Report of Marriage duly registered by the Philippine Embassy/Consulate or the Department of Foreign Affairs; and
5. Payment of PhP400.00 counseling and registration fee.

Additional documents may be required in the event that the counselor determines it to be essential to complete the guidance and counseling process. It is advised for all the GCP applicants to prepare the following documents (if applicable to them) in advance and bring these documents when they come to CFO:

1. Divorce decree/certificate (of Filipino spouse or foreign spouse, if previously married)
2. Annulment paper (of Filipino spouse or foreign spouse, if previously married)
3. Proof of residency/Alien Registration Card-ARC (of foreign spouse)
4. Proof of relationship (picture together, e-mails, among others)

No problem with CFO and the CEMAR, w/divorce decree .. I know a fair number that had foreign divorces that presented a CEMAR (along with copy of the divorce decree) to CFO .. all completed the seminar and got their sticker.

 

CFO does not ask for an NBI from the Philippines nor police certificate from a foreign government.

Will they ask for any police clearance from Abu Dhabi?  I am under the thought that they only want an NBI from where she is currently living which is the Philippines?  Any additional info about the police clearance and NBI is appreciated.

CFO does not ask for an NBI .. .nor any police clearance.  Abu Dhabi or anywhere else.....

 

Now the embassy is a different story ..

Hank, I am asking if anyone during this whole K1 process wants to see both an NBI and a foreign police clearance?  

If so, who is it within this process that asks to see these documents?

Thanks in advance.

Yes .. the embassy during the interview (but I covered that in my other posting to you .. so we are good on that)

Hank, many thanks in advance...you answered my question in the other thread.  The answer for anyone else reading this is that if a person was working for more than six months in the UAE then the police report requirement is waived by the US Embassy in Manila because it is impossible to obtain a police report from the UAE unless you go to the UAE in person.  So, thanks for a great answer.

This is a well known fact.  With so many filipino OFWs,  your girlfriend isn't the first, nor the last
