Is CENOMAR needed for Naturalized US Citizen?

[Bluela 42]

Hello Everyone! I petitioned my Boyfriend in the Philippines and recently we just got our NOA2. We are just waiting for the case # from NVC at this point.

 

I turned 18 in the Philippines on 03/2/02012 and on 03/12/2012 was when we moved to the US. I got my Naturalization last year and immediately submitted the I129f application.

 

My question is, does my fiance need to present a CENOMAR under my name too? 

 

Also, he is 25 years old and I am 24. Do we also need to present letter of consent from both our parents for CFO purposes once he gets his VISA?

 

Thank you so much. Just getting all the documents ready before the interview.:)

No you do not need a CENOMAR for the visa application process at the embassy, you did not live in the Phils for 1 year after reaching age 18..

 

"A CENOMAR is also required for a petitioner who was born in the Philippines and lived in the country for at least one (1) year upon reaching the age of 18."

 

This is the embassy checklist for the K-1 visa process:   https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/

 

Here is another website that may be helpful:  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html

 

Once your case file is at NVC:  http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/nvc-k-1.html

 

As for the consent letter for CFO .. you are a USC it doesn't apply to you, and your fiancee is 25 so he most likely will not be asked either, and if he was it would be an Advice Letter because of his age.   CFO does not always ask, and with guys they ask less often .. I know sound sexist .. but that is the Philippines    

 

 

** From the Family Code of the Philippines**
 
It states;  21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent. (Some have noted that they were not asked for this, yet others have been asked, so be prepared) Bring the ID of the parents, plus copies, postal ID should be adequate.
 
An attorney in your area should have this form, being they will also have to notarize it for you.

Also regarding CFO your fiance can attend the GCP seminar before receiving the visa if he so chooses, then return to get the sticker in his passport after receiving his visa.  Some like to get CFO out of the way early, just for the peace of mind.

I'm a naturalized US citizen and needed to get a CENOMAR but my fiancee was never asked for it at the embassy. The embassy staff even looked at her strange upon seeing my CENOMAR.

I guess they’ll only need the beneficiary’s cenomar.  Cool!

The requirement for a Naturalized USC to need a CENOMAR is they must of lived in the Philippines for one year or more after age 18.    < If you fit that and the embassy didn't catch it .. no big deal, it is their option to ask or not ask for any documents.
