US Immigration from Philippines

In order to enter the Philippines these days, part of the requirements is to register for this OHP QR code number. Unfortunately, i unwittingly (ill-clicked) and hired a company to process the Bureau of Quarantine form. Philippines-Health Pass (dot twits) comes up first on the list slyly inserting themselves into the process and collects $65 for their "professional, expert" service. They don't do diddly but send the form to the Dept of Health/BOQ, which then sends back the Code#, and they send it on to you (pfft!). But the required covid test allows a short 48 hour window to align all the little hoops or you get no boarding pass. Anyway, the jackasses were late emailing me the code number, and i missed my freaking flight. They did refund the $65. i'm at the least still out the covid test and flight rebooking fees, not to mentinon the hours of time prepping for a month vacation. My love for this "advanced", new technical world continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

This is where you go to do it right:

I just filed the i130 online for my wife in the Philippines. I had a lot of supporting evidence such as family pictures, pictures from the wedding, joint bank account documents, screen shots of Facebook chats, pics with the judge who solemnized our marriage, gifts from the wedding made out to both of us, and letters from third parties saying that they were at our wedding and we are in an ongoing and loving relationship.

Here is the dilemma. In the section where it asks: "How many times have you been married? Include all annulled marriages, marriages to other people, and marriages to the same person." I put that I was married twice because my wife and I had two ceremonies one civil and one in the church. But in legal terms I guess we only got married once and the other was a religious ceremony. The first ceremony was in the Catholic Church but we did not register that wedding with the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority). The second ceremony was a civil ceremony where we got married in the local municipal hall in which the marriage was solemnized by a judge. We registered the civil ceremony with the PSA because we wanted to fast track the documents to be able to file the i130 ASAP. I read somewhere that the first marriage is the legal one however we didn't register the church ceremony we registered the civil ceremony.

Is there a chance we will run into RFE's because I put we married twice to each other? Is there a possibilty of my petition to be denied because of this? Or did I answer the question correctly? Should I type up a service request for a typo and put that we only got married once and explain that one wedding was a religious ceremony and the civil wedding is the actual legal wedding that was registered with the Philippine Statistics Authority?? Help please and thanks.

Hello,

I am hoping that one of you can give me an idea of what to do.

I am going to be a U.S. citizen soon, and I am planning on petitioning my 63-year old mother.

However, I can not find any record of her birth certificate. I tried getting her record using different possible names and years of birth, but no luck. All I have are negatives saying that she has no record.

Anyway, with the negative birth certificates, we have been trying to do a late registration for her, but this is taking too long and the effort is too much (we got to do the registration of her birth certificate in Eastern Samar and we just don't have anyone reliable to help us with it).

I am also not looking forward to getting her passport and other immigration-related papers with a late-registered birth certificate (they are prone to extra scrutiny).

Does anyone else have other ideas on how to go about it?

I'm not asking for anything illegal, just another option for registering her birth certificate or maybe an agency that can help?

Your experience in dealing with a birth certificate that is 63 years old would be helpful.

Thank you all for your help.

My fiance had her interview today . All the groups that were going in, were out in almost two hours to the minute.

She was denied because she had no CENOMAR even though she was married in the Philippines and then was divorced in Korea.

Unfortunately, she is unable to return to Korea to get an official certificate of divorce, overstay of visa..ugh, all we have (had, officer in the embassy took the original we had even though we had copies in our 129f packet) is a certified certificate of marriage relation of from her former husband.

We have an appointment with the PSA and we are going to request those documents, the CENOMAR, and then send them in with her passport and see what happens.

Everything else went well. After talking to the first person, that reviewed the paperwork, the second person ask 5 questions, and she was done.

And.... No, the petitioner is not allowed inside.

We filed the I-751 but did not include an I-90 and are in the process of filing it now. On my wife s permanent resident card they put the wrong birth year even though we pointed out that the birth year was wrong in the NOA for adjustment of status at the interview for adjustment of status they still put that date on the permanent resident card. In the I-751 there is a variety of documents showing actual birth date such as mortgage documents, visa/passport with birth date listed. Will the I-751 still be processed as normal if there is enough evidence to show they messed up and put the wrong birth year on the card?
