    Any USC petitioners here married to a filipina before in the Philippines?

    Divorce isn't recognize in the Philippines.

    He is marrying in the US and has acquired Divorce so in US Law, he is free to marry.

    He is a USC and he doesn't CENOMAR.

    USC's second marriage will not be bound by a Philippine Law

    He will less likely to be charged with bigamy.

    USC first wife could be USC now too and can remarry outside the Philippines.

    :huh: not asking for Cenomar.. but CENMAR... ;)

    i am confused too by the other thread... is there a possibility that a USC who married once in PH can ask by the counselor to submit a Cenmar? of course Cenomar they cant have it.. but how about cenmar..? when they got married in the PH before their name was entered to nso data base.. so if they request for cenmar do u think they can have one..? just need an enlightenment about it :blush::huh:

    Hi Tina, Could you please explain what you meant ,"In my case and others it worked"? Thanks!

    ^_^, in US Embassy,Manila they accept copies/ scan of docs. like itr , W2, paystub,- here in US u can download it online...

    I-134 (no need to be notarize)

    Divorce Decree: if u can provide CTC then good... but as Rebbeca Jo said no Orig. copy bcoz it is kept in Clerk's ofc. all u can have is CTC.. but in Manila, they accept even just a copy too, i did that once and even the others did that too... i even asked the Pre-screener if she needs my husband's Divorce decree and she said she didnt need it bcoz they already have it when my fiance sent our I-129F packet... but of course CO are different that's why better to have a CTC if u can provide... ;)

    but anyways, how are u? did u had ur interview already...? :star::wub:

    DIVORCE DECREE: Maybe if you sent cert copy on the I-129F application, a regular copy on the interview is ok. But it's just a regular photocopy on the application, they will ask for the cert true copy or original. Do I make sense? This has been a long confusing and everyone's got different answer.

    in my case and others case it worked... it depends on the Pre-screener/ CO who will gonna conduct the interview... that's why i said in my previous post they accept copies/ scan or if u can provide orig. much better... :yes:;)

    USCIS always accepts copies of any document for case approval. Even the instructions state that copies are fine.

    Consular interview is different. Most times you will be asked to produce originals of "important" documents, such as birth certs; police reports; divorce decrees. This is done because people have been known to forge these documents, so the consulate may wish to see the original. One should plan on having originals on hand for any consulate.

    The subject of divorce decrees is confusing because no one can ever have the "original". The "original" with the judge's signature is always on file with the Clerk's office in whatever county/parish the divorce occurred. However, the clerk's office can always provide you with a "certified copy" of a decree. "Certified" in the legal world means certified by the court to be a true and accurate copy of the original. Certification is accomplished by the Clerk/Registrar placing their seal or signature on the document, thereby authenticating the document. DOS will always accept a certified copy.

    Mental Health Psychiatrist said at St. Lukes

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Don't pay any attention to that psychiatrist. He was just trying to yank your chain. He wanted to see what kind of reaction he would get from you. He must think it's his job to scare you. The best way to deal with the issue is to remain calm and professional and hold your ground. Don't allow anybody to intimidate you.

    Always remember, annulments are common in 'Pinas, and they are the only way to "divorce" someone. Many people use psychological incapacitation as the reason for their annulment. You know it, I know it, the psychiatrist knows it, and the consular officer knows it. That doesn't mean you're crazy, it simply means you wanted an annulment. I'm certain you felt much better after you were annulled from your ex. I wonder if the consular officers have ever gone through a divorce, or had any of their loved ones go through a divorce. If they have, they will understand why you got an annulment.

    Shame on that psychiatrist! :bonk:

    DS-156K says I need to attach documents such as my birth certificate, evidence of engagement etc...

    Do I attach copies of these or do I just wait and take them to the interview?

    DS-156K is to be submitted during the interview by the beneficiary.. together with other legal docs. and evidences.. :yes:

    Over 6 months for NOA2 - how to expedite?

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    Sorry I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble searching for the answer. My NOA1 was received by VSC on April 12. I got an RFE after 5 months, and it has been 6 weeks since they received my response to it. Still no NOA2. I'm very unhappy about this.

    How do I ask this to be sped up, or do I have to wait for 60 days for RFE response to be processed?

    call ur senator to contact them.. just give it a try it might work... ;)

    Can status go from approved to unapproved?

    My fiancée went to her interview on Oct 7th. She and several other women all had 6:30 am appointments. All seemed to have quick interviews with no problems. One already has her visa and 2 more have verified it is with 2GO document service. No word on ours yet. We are checking the 2GO web site and calling them daily. Next call is to the Embassy when they open.

    What do you think?

    I know parts of the overall process can take different amounts of time for different people. Each case is judged on its own merit. But I assumed after the interview and told that you are approved the actual issuing of the K1 visa should be straight forward and not vary much.

    dont worry CO might verfying some of ur fiancee's docs., better to e-mail the embassy so u know if the visa was issued or still pending for review... bcoz even they said she is approve before printing the visa they still need to have final check with all the docs. if they said visa is already been issued then call 2go.. and get ur tracking no. sometimes MNL is there tracking no. but sometimes they give other tracking no.

    NVC receipt of application

    I would like to hear from filers of the Vermont Service Center-how long did it take for the NVC to receive your petition? It's been a week now for us, and I called the automated system, and it says they have no record of our case number.

    in my case... less than a week... from USCIS to NVC after our I-129F approval.. then after NVC got our approve case the next day NVC forwarded my case to US consulate, PH...

    CENOMAR for USC??

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted · Edited by marklovetina

    There is no such thing as CENOMAR for a USC. Unlike the Philippines the US doesn't keep a centralized registry for marriages so the federal government doesn't issue it- no NSO or such kind here.. CENOMAR only applies to Filipinos. Some people need to stop feeding false information. K1 applicants or petitioners are not required to procure or submit a Legal Capacity . You only need a Legal Capacity from the embassy if you are applying for a marriage license in the Philippines which obviously doesn't apply to a K1 since its a fiance/e visa.

    what if the case is like teddy's case..? u think he can request for a cenmar... uhmmm but his name was registered in the data base before when he got married in PH... so i think when he request for a copy of cenmar he can get one... :blush:

    Philis Annulment Process

    in General Immigration-Related Discussion

    Posted · Edited by marklovetina

    Need to see if someone can clear this up so I don't have to pay a lawyer to get the question answered (and probably not get the right answer).

    Question: Once she has the resolution from the court do we need to wait for the NSO to change all of her records so we can file the K-1 Visa?

    once she get her Finality ur fiancee or the lawyer need to register that annulment... to the LCR where the annulment was granted, LCR where the marriage was registered and finally to the NSO... sometimes fee for the registration of annulment is different to annulment fee... yes... u can file the K1 after she get her cert. of finality.. some others do file the K1 by court decision only but still risky.... so better wait for the cert. of finality... :yes:

    CENOMAR for USC??

    This is interesting. I've been following this Philippines forum for almost a year now and this is the first I've heard of a USC petitioner needing a CENOMAR for his/herself for the CFO, or a Legal Capacity to Marry document other than his/her divorce decree (if married before). I'm following this one closely as well as searching other sources for info.

    :thumbs:right Teddy this is the 1st time i read too that a USC needs a CENOMAR from NSO... come to think of it... how will a USC will gonna be issued a CENOMAR if his name is not enrolled in the data base of NSO.. not a filipino citizen... usually i read they're asking.. copy of divorce decree, copy of passport (USC)... but yeah i think if the petitioner is a Fil-Am yes maybe... the CFO will require.. but i doubt CENOMAR for USC... :blush:;)
