thank you guys for taking time to respond and explain to me this topic, i call nso this morning and order certification of marriage CENMAR, and paid metrobank too. Should i call again the NSO just to verify that they receive my payment or they start working on my request.
i need your advices
PS.
i ask the Teller of the metrobank if they receive payments for DV, they said no. So it means DV is totally gone.

Instead of the CENMAR, you will need the CENOMAR which is the Certificate of No Marriage. The CENMAR/CENOMAR can be obtained from www.ecensus.com or the nearest NSO serbilis center.
a friend of mine from here, said CR1 needs to have cenmar, certificate of marriage/marriage index,

Consular Section – Immigrant Visa Unit
Manila, Philippines
MEDICAL EXAMINATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR IMMIGRANT,
“K” AND “V” VISA APPLICANTS
Under U.S. immigration law, ALL applicants for immigrant, “K” and “V” visas are required to undergo and complete a medical examination, regardless of age. The medical examination findings by a panel physician are binding on the consular officer and used to determine eligibility to receive a visa.
St. Luke’s Medical Center Extension Clinic (SLMCEC) is the Embassy’s accredited medical facility. It is located at 1177 J. Bocobo St., Ermita, Manila. The telephone numbers are 521-0020 and 521-8647, and it is open for business Monday through Friday (except on Philippine holidays), from 7:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m.-4:30 p.m. When you go to SLMCEC for medical examination, you must bring your passport and one photo (size: 2” x 2”).
It is important that you must have completed your medical examination when you come to the Embassy for your visa interview. Otherwise, your visa application will be refused or you may be asked to return for another appointment. The medical examination results are delivered directly to the Embassy.
First-Come, First-Served
Applicants are examined on a first-come, first-served basis. Medical examinations may take more than one day to complete. Female applicants may request a female doctor to perform the examination. Unless it is necessary, do not bring companions due to space limitation at the clinic.
Fees
The medical examination fee is US$213.35 for adults (15 years of age or older) and US$185.35 for children (14 years of age or younger). Repeat X-rays will cost US$7 each. Fees must be paid only in Philippine pesos at the prevailing exchange rate.
X-Rays
A chest X-ray is not required for children below 15 years old, unless symptoms of tuberculosis (TB) exist, there is a history of TB, or there has been possible exposure of TB with a known case such as a family or household member with TB.
Chest X-rays for pregnant women are not dangerous if taken with the proper shielding. U.S. Public Health Service/Centers for Disease Control (USPHS/CDC) has approved an exception to the chest X-ray requirement for pregnant women if they do not want to take it. However, pregnant women visa applicants are advised to obtain a tuberculin skin test and any necessary follow-up at the local health department after arriving in the United States. Applicants who have previous chest X-rays must bring the results with them to SLMCEC for comparative analysis.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Test
HIV infection, which may lead to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a communicable disease of public health significance. ALL applicants 15 years of age or older must be tested for evidence of HIV infection. Those under the age of 15 may be tested if there is reason to suspect HIV infection (for example a child whose natural parent is HIV-positive).
**Should there be any dispute regarding the English and Filipino versions of this information, the English translation shall prevail**

VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICANTS
U.S. immigration law requires that ALL immigrant visa applicants be vaccinated against certain vaccine-preventable diseases before they can be admitted to the United States for permanent residence.
Vaccinations currently required are as follows:
• Mumps
• Measles
• Rubella
• Polio
• Tetanus and Diphtheria toxoids
• Pertussis
• Influenza Type B
• Hepatitis Type A
• Hepatitis Type B
• Varicella
• Pneumoccocal
• Rotavirus
• Meningococcal
• Human Papillomavirus
• Zoster
• Any other vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices
Bring Your Vaccination Records For The Panel Physician’s Review
You should bring records to show that you have already received vaccination against certain vaccine-preventable diseases. The panel physician will review the vaccination records and will determine if you meet the vaccination requirement. Only the panel physician can determine which vaccinations are medically appropriate. This could mean that you may be required to repeat doses of vaccines that you have already received. Administering a second dose, however, will not endanger your health.
Vaccination Requirement Waiver
Upon the panel physician’s recommendation, a consular officer may authorize a waiver if it is determined that a required vaccination is medically inappropriate because of your age, health condition or medical history.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may also authorize a waiver if you can establish that compliance with the vaccination requirements would be contrary to your religious beliefs or moral convictions.

PAUNAWA SA PAGSUSURING MEDIKAL PARA SA MGA APPLIKANTE NG IMMIGRANT, K” AT “V” VISA
Sa ilalim ng batas imigrasyon ng Amerika, LAHAT ng aplikante ng immigrant, “K” at “V” visas ay kinakailangang sumailalim sa pagsusuring-medikal. Ang resulta ng pagsusuring ito ay umiiral sa mga konsul at gagamitin para matiyak kung kayo ay karapat-dapat na tumanggap ng visa.
Ipinangasiwa ng Embahada sa St. Luke’s Medical Center Extension Clinic (SLMCEC) ang pagpapatupad sa tungkuling ito. Ang SLMCEC ay matatagpuan sa 1177 J. Bocobo St., Ermita, Manila, telepono bilang 521-0020 at 521-8647. Ito ay bukas Lunes hanggang Biyernes (maliban kung pista-opisyal), mula 7:30-11:30 ng umaga at mula 1:00-4:30 ng hapon. Pagpunta sa klinika, dalhin ang inyong pasaporte at isang litrato (na may sukat na 2”x2”).
Napakahalagang makumpleto ang inyong medikal pagdating ng inyong interbyu. Ang kakulangan nito ay magiging dahilan para hindi kayo mabigyan ng visa o ang pagpaliban at pagtakda ng inyong interbyu sa ibang araw. Ang resulta ng medikal ay tuluyang ipapadala ng St. Luke’s Extension Clinic sa Embahada.
Paglingkod sa Pang-una
Ang pagkasunod-sunod sa mga magpapasuri ay ayon sa kung sino ang unang dumating. Ang eksaminasyon ay maaaring abutin ng mahigit isang (1) araw para matapos. Ang mga babaeng aplikante ay maaaring humiling na suriin sila ng isang babaeng doktor. Ang klinika ay hindi-gaanong kalakihan ang lugar, kaya huwag magsama ng ibang tao kung hindi kinakailangan.
Bayad sa Medikal
Ang bayad sa pagsusuring-medikal ay US$213.35 para sa mga aplikanteng labing-limang (15) taong gulang at pataas, at US$185.35 naman sa mga batang labing-apat (14) na taong gulang at pababa. Ang pagpapa-ulit ng X-ray ay US$7 bawat isa. Maaaring bayaran lamang ang katumbas ng mga ito sa Philippine pesos sa kasalukuyang halaga ng palitan.
X-Rays
Ang chest X-ray ay hindi kailangan sa mga batang wala pang labing-limang (15) taong gulang, maliban kung sila ay may sintomas ng tuberkulosis (TB) o posibleng pagkahawa ng TB, halimbawa dahil sa pakikisalamuha sa kasambahay na may TB.
Ang chest X-ray sa mga buntis ay hindi mapanganib kung ito ay isasagawa ng may tamang panabing. Ang U.S. Public Health Service/Centers for Disease Control (USPHS/CDC) ay pinahihintulutan ang hindi pagsama ng chest X-ray sa mga kailanganin ng mga nagdadalang-tao kung sila ay tatanggi. Gayunpaman, ang mga nagbubuntis ay pinapaalalahanang magpa-tuberculin skin test at magpatingin sa lokal na kagawarang pang-kalusugan pagdating sa Amerika.
Ang resulta ng mga nauna o dating chest X-rays ay kinakailangan ding dalhin para masuri at maihambing.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Test
Ang impeksiyon sa HIV, na nagbibigay-daan sa pagkakaroon ng Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), ay isang nakakahawang sakit na may kabuluhan sa pangkalahatang kalusugan. LAHAT ng aplikanteng labing-limang (15) taong gulang at pataas ay kailangang suriin sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng dugo para sa anumang palatandaan ng impeksiyon sa HIV. Ang mga aplikanteng labing-apat (14) na taong gulang at pababa ay maaari ding suriin kung may matibay na dahilan ng pagkakaroon ng impeksiyon sa HIV, halimbawa, ang isang batang may magulang na positibo sa HIV.

Kailangang magdala ng katunayang kayo ay dati ng nabakunahan. Pag-aaralan ng doktor ang talaan o ulat ng inyong bakuna para matiyak na ang mga ito ay sapat ayon sa batas. Tanging ang doktor ang makakapagsabi kung ano ang nararapat na bakuna. Maaaring ipaulit sa inyo ang pagkuha sa mga dating bakuna.

Ang U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) ay maaari ding magbigay ng waiver kung mapapatunayan na ang pagpapabakuna ay taliwas sa inyong paniniwalang pang-relihiyon o matibay na paniniwalang pang-asal/pag-uugali.

hello,
this might help,
First we file I-130, then prepared to our documents for I-129F for K3 route. after we receive our NOA1, we send our I-129, but then our I-130 gets approved in less than a month after we sent our I-130. So the USCIS return our 1-129F stating that we can no longer file for it coz the petition (I-130) is already approved and they forwarded it at NVC.
hope this help u decide!
by the way, dont worry about filing CRI, is not really difficult, I just sent it my DS23O yesterday, and since we start filing CRI never receive RFE, thank God!..there are also Guides here to make ur processing at NVC quicker!
