Hello

 

Just want to know if you need a PSA issued marriage certificate for filing I-130? Or do they accept any Marriage Certificate? 

I just don't want to have delays with simple documents like this.

Thank you in advance

Did you get married in the Philippines?  This is a little vague.  I know people there who got married in Hong Kong so they used their Hong Kong marriage certificate.  If you were married in the Philippines you need the PSA Marriage Certificate.

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

 

PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

It is required to have the visa in their passport for PDOS and Peer Counseling.

 

GCP (Guidance and Counseling Program) is for K-1 Fiancee and IR/CR-1 spouse ONLY.
