Question about CENOMAR

[billding 59]

My fiance ordered her cenomar, when she got it, it said when it was issued (Nov 2019) and that there's no record of her getting married at that time. We just got our case # and are most likely going to interview in January 2020, does she have to get a new cenomar then? With a January 2020 issue date?

 

Also, for the purpose of getting a cenomar she checked the box Passport/Travel and that's what it says on the cenomar.

 

Is that okay? Or should she check Others and then put USEM K-1 Visa?

Your fiancee should be just fine with the November dated CENOMAR..   Most times the embassy likes the CENOMAR to not be over 6 months old, so you should be just fine.   Doesn't really matter as to the purpose for the CENOMAR  .. the forms are all the same, so it is silly to have a "purpose"  .. but then it is the Philippines.    

 

You received your MNL # ?      What is your CEAC status?  If it shows READY you could easily be done with the interview before the end of December.

Good to know, thanks

 

Yea, my fiance thought she had to get a new one again, with one purpose as CFO and one as USEM. Apparently the nbi clearance used to ask for purpose as well and it used to depend on it what you pay. Smh

Status is at nvc. We just got it yesterday, I don't know if we'll make the shipment next week ?

 

We'd love to interview next month but with all the Filipino festivities  I don't know if we'll be able too

They changed the NBI to one form maybe a year or two ago (I lose track on that), use to be a green and a yellow form, the yellow was for employment.

 

Have your fiancee make a copy of the CENOMAR for CFO  ... embassy will keep the original and CFO is good with a copy.

 

Glad the guide is helpful.

Are there time limits on the birth certificates and NBI?

Not for BC unless  you  are "born again."  NBI is one year as per the embassy website

Embassy may state the NBI is valid for one year, but quite often a CO will issue a 221g if the NBI is older than 6 months.

 

Never heard of issues with the BC not being "fresh"

I imagine "quite often" is one or two over the last several years
