Hi all, I know this is a forum for moving to the US. My question is the opposite, my USC husband will be moving back to the PH with me, a USC and PH citizen.
 
	 
 
	We are looking to apply for his 13A at the Chicago PH embassy.
 
	 
 
	I looked that the PH embassy website and they only show the requirements but no instructions so here goes my questions.
 
	 
 
	1. Can I use my NSO issues birth certificate and marriage certificate? We got married in the Philippines and I don't have PSA issued one yet. 
 
	 
 
	2. Which address should I mail the requirements and is there a prefered courier?
 
	 
 
	3. Are there specific instructions to put in the addressee to identify that it is a visa application?
 
	 
 
	4. How long does it take before we get a decision?
 
	 
 
	I hope anyone with experience can shed some light.
 
	 
 
	Thank you!
