Utah Online Marriage valid for the Philippines? [split thread]
RO_AH replied to seekingthetruth's topic in Philippines
Yes -
Don't over think it. I would put son. Don't make this harder than it has to be.

#4 does not apply to you. Where do you see anything about a green card? Are you immigrating to New Zealand or Australia? So it does not apply to you. 1 valid ID. I am assuming you have a passport that is valid or else you can't travel. They no longer do online.

Having a visa and CFO sticker pretty much tells them that you have submitted all of the documents to get that far. The only other thing that she needs to bring is he confidence. If she seems unsure she will draw attention and scrutiny.

Just show both passports when leaving and he is fine. I brought my 2 sons the same way.

Just to be clear they only have in person now. My wife was lucky enough to be able to do hers remote, if you call being stuck in covid hell and adding an extra year to our journey lucky lol. We were CR1 and married 4 years by then and had 2 children together. Her CFO which I was able to listen in on Skype was only a formality and small talk. I think we had the certificate within 4 hours of the phone call.

The whole immigration process is long and very frustrating. If you don't know this going in, you did not do enough research. If you did your research, you know/knew what you were facing. Just stay positive, like I said I don't know of anyone who has been rejected. It took 3 years to get my wife and 2 sons here due to covid. Was it frustrating? Of course, but I learned long ago to not get bent out of shape over things I could not control. Just focus on having everything you may need, and MOST of all keep a positive attitude for your own sanity and most importantly to be that rock that your fiance needs right now. Never let them see you sweat!

I don't know if I will get flack for this, but Filipinos love to worry and will go out of their way to find reasons to worry. Just a heads up

Really? I built a house there, did not need to apply, file, pay for a building permit. I didn't even need blueprints from an architect. I hired people to build it, told them what I wanted, done. Try that in our free country. My wife had a store that her mom still operates there. If she wants to sell something, she buys it then sells it. Cigarettes, alcohol, beer, food, as long as it's not anything illegal. Try that in our free country. I could go on but you get the point.

Out of every post you have seen here or anywhere in the internet, find me one where a person was denied exit. If your things are in order and your fiance has a strong confident attitude it will be a breeze. Make sure your fiance has all dates regarding your relationship committed to memory. I made a cheat sheet for my wife to study. When we first met, how we met, when we first met in person, each visit I made there, etc. Doing that helps her to have confidence. If you give her or allow her to have as much negativity about the process as you just posted above, it will hurt her not help her.

Do your medical. Don't reschedule interview! What if they get a shipment in the day before your medical. Even if they can't complete the medical, only after that you reschedule.

That is almost 2 months away. I would not start worrying yet.

Confusion Creating Login for CEAC - K-1 Visa Applicant

Hahaha, not just social media, it's all their neighbors and friends too. I have termed it "they said". My wife will tell me something ridiculous and I will ask her where she heard that. She will say "they said". I told her I would love to write a book of all of the "they saids" I have heard.- 12 replies

Sounds like par for the course. They will make you jump through hoops until they have satisfied their ego. They always end up giving it to you in the end. Congrats!

Ok whatever. I did mean active, I am sorry if you feel attacked. I am not posting it for you. I am trying to bring clarity for others that read the post now and in the future. It's not a competition, and if I get something wrong I will not be upset if someone corrects me or brings clarity to what I said.

Been a regular on this forum for well over a decade. I am well aware. It has nothing to do with the interviewers knowledge of our immigration process, and most are totally unaware of our process and have a loose understanding of their own process. Zero crossover, and all about who you get. The only crossover is that they both may require some of the same documents. Also they are always much harder on K1 holders that CR1/IR1 holders and yes it always depends on who you get. My wife's was simple because we had been married almost 3 years and had 2 children already. Plus ours was just a phone call due to covid.
-
Our immigration process has nothing to do with them so that's irrelevant. It's just that mall cop complex.

I agree that the Utah wedding is the best choice. Wait for the recognition of divorce to go through before doing ROM. The only issue you may possibly run into is the CFO. If they ask for CENOMAR you will receive CEMAR as long as the divorce recognition has not gone through yet. However they may still accept your divorce decree as proof of marriage 1 ending.
-
In my opinion you should always just file the ROM. Just make your life easier.
-
The CFO is very odd and sadly holds a lot of power. By requesting a CENOMAR/CEMAR they are wanting to make sure that neither of you are married according to the Philippine Government.
