Hello,

I do have a pending removal of condition application and was given the 24 months extension letter. My husband was given a better job opportunity to work in Alaska for almost a year. During the roc interview, can I just attend the interview and bring our daughter or does he need to come home and attend the interview?

Sorry if this topic has been discussed. I could not find anything.

Aloha everyone!

This post is for information purposes for those of you who have or will have business to attend to with any government or school department in the Philippines. Many of you have important documents like birth certificates that were issued by the Philippine National Statistics Office (NSO) before that office merged with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in December of 2013. This has created situations where some offices or schools have required the newer PSA documents even though the PSA has stated publicly that the documents are identical except for the logo and a different type of security paper. The PSA did say, however, that it was beyond their control if a particular office required the newer documents. This may change very soon. We have been closely monitoring the progress of Senate Bill Number 2450, known as the PERMANENT VALIDITY OF THE CERTIFICATES OF LIVE BIRTH, DEATH, AND MARRIAGE ACT (sorry, shouting caps not intended...this is from the Senate website). The bill, if signed or passed into law, would make these certificates permanent regardless of when they were obtained if it was still possible to read them. It would also prohibit government offices from requiring the newer PSA documents if you could still read the older documents.

The bill passed the third reading of the Senate by unanimous vote and was sent to the Office of the President on June 27, 2022. Former President Duterte had not signed the bill before his departure and the senate website (https://legacy.senate.gov.ph/lis/bill_res.aspx?congress=18&q=SBN-2450) still shows that the bill was forwarded to Malacanang and seems to be as yet unsigned. I will post here as soon as I see any updates or please post an update if any of you see something first.

TL;DR

I'm going to the Philippines in a few months to marry my girlfriend. For the sake of "bonafide marriage" is there a certain amount of time I have to be in the country?

Longer details:

We've currently applied for the K-1 visa, and I already bought a 2-week summer trip to visit her. Then, we decided to change to CR-1 instead and plan to get married during my summer trip. She did some research and it turns out it takes about 2 weeks for the marriage certificate to be processed and advised I should stay an additional week.

I'm kind of resistant to the idea because airplane prices have gone up, my workplace might give me some trouble, etc. But if it's essential, then I'm definitely going to do it.

Just wanted to hear other people's past experiences to help me make a guided decision.
