whats the difference between marraige cert. and cert of marriage?

Only kind of true. My wife went through the same issue. CENOMAR before marriage, CEMAR after marriage. Guess the USEM wants to make sure that the marriage was actually legit and that's the piece of paper that says it was.

Too late to do anything about it now. Take what he has. If not enough or not the correct document he'll get a 221g which may delay the visa by a week or so. It's a common problem with CR1 visas. Another P200 or so and a trip to Pasay City. Just another bump in the road.

The requirement or a CENOMAR are in the Embassy Letter and it states:

CERTIFICATE OF NO MARRIAGE RECORD (if applicable). You must also submit a CENOMAR issued

by the PSA and printed on PSA security paper if you have never contracted a marriage or as deemed necessary by

a consular officer. You may call the PSA Information Center at (632) 737-1111 to inquire about obtaining a

CENOMAR or visit their website at http://www.census.gov.ph.

Like Brassballs stated, bring what you have and if the need something else they will issue a 221g and you will follow the instructions contained within the 221g.

This will slow you down 2-3 weeks.

2-3 weeks?! Praying not that long

ok thank you

As I've been reading through interview experiences I see that they asked for the original Cenomar. I read through on NVC and the embassy for what to bring and nowhere did it say to bring CENOMAR. My husband has only the scanned copy of our Cenomar.

Will that be okay? Could they turn him away for the interview? Would it just delay him able to receive his spousal visa?

His interview is tomorrow morning Manila time.

Have they started scheduling again this month? I see a few people still getting interview dates, but it seems kind of isolated. They should start again next sometime next week, right?

Yeah there was a moment where so many got their interview dates on this thread then it slowed down...

Well hey, this is the internet age where you can meet someome online, have a fake "dating" and "fiance" period, then get married, and after that actually learn about each other.

It isn't a bad idea to have these threads around because the majority of relationships begin by meeting online and people ignore a lot of the red flags you would see far better if you lived right there to observe their daily behavior, their family and friends, school mates, etc.

Some of the other threads another person posted links to - geez. When you get together it ought to be about the happiest time of your life. Mine works her fanny off for our family and I am very, very grateful for her. She dropped whatever bad habits she had as an immature Filipina teen before we got engaged to marry. Sometimes these teenagers can be a handful for a 50 year old but if they don't behave, just get another one because there are millions to pick from and they make the best wives on the planet.

This was going good until the end

Seems like you guys are against each other. You are married now... for a year. Remember that now that you two are PARTNERS in this life. Sharing one life. So it shouldn't be "####### for tat". If you both are aware of always meeting in the middle, compromising, and helping each other in your LIFE (not lives) then you guys are set for an amazing LIFE/marraige.

Speak to him about his concerns. Does he feel like he won't fit in school? Does he find english hard to speak? Does he feel alone? Get to the bottom why he truly wants to go back to the Philippines. Let him know you're on his side and you're willing to help him. If he misses his grandparents, let him speak to them on Skype. Maybe he won't get that choice to go back home, but don't leave him feeling the way he does... Help him feel America is home now.

I salute you for your honesty! It's true, easier said then done when you're not the one being questioned.

Subject: Your case number

Petitioner's name

Beneficiary's name and birthdate

Write the mistake they made.

Attach scanned passport ID with the name and birthdate clearly on it for proof

The difference is that you already had an interview date scheduled by NVC, meaning your case was already completed. The OP is still in the NVC stage, and does not have a CC yet, so yes, he kind of got a little ahead of himself because he is still not sure if a checklist will be given (hopefully not though).

Just hope for the best! Goodluck!

Oh! I didn't see the part that he didn't get case complete yet. What he did was actually really risky.

So good luck OP! Pray for no RFEs and a Case complete before August!

I'm a CR-1 and i booked my own interview even though NVC scheduled me an interview. It was OK with the Manila Embassy

Try calling NVC if they can email you the approval letter

i think you were to receive an email of the approval. So you can print that.

My husband had his physical exam that day too! he was there at 4am and done by 7pm! Late because they messed up his papers! I'm sure you guys must've been within feet of eachother hahaha! We were so glad it's just one day!

Congratulations to you

GOD is GOOD

Medical done for my husband in just one day as supposed 2 days! There were mistakes made by the health care workers with his paperwork which made it longer wait for him but its done at least!

If you set an appointment they've already e-mailed you the appointment letter. That's what you print for the medical

Same thing happened to my classmate, a USC, but he thought he could get away with it. The school couldn't give him his diploma since he was supposed to be registered as a foreign student. The Cebu immigration is a bit corrupt so he got away with it. Did you have any issues with your school?

Finally I got my CC today Congratulations for those who got approved and CC .

Now another wait begins for interview date. Good luck everyone.

Congratulations!! I hope you get your interview soon

ok thanks!

So you have to go back to the CFO place to get your sticker when you have your visa?

Hello all, my interview is tomorrow July 8th at 7:45am in lagos. Please guys I really need your prayers. I know it is settled. Goodluck to all others that have interview same day an beyond. God will see us all through.

God bless!

To all those Americans and soon to be Americans, Have a happy Independance Day !
