PhilippinesHow can I track the delivery of the Visa
I know that the delivery service is 2go.com.ph but I don't know how to find out when my visa will leave the embassy and is with 2go for delivery.
A friend said to enter my NVC case number in the 2go.com.ph website but it keeps coming back as invalid.
Can someone tell me how to find out what the status of my VISA is? (.e. delivery date)
It has been a week since the interview with no word on when I will receive the VISA. I am worried because my flight to the USA is on 4/13/2011
Please help if you can!
Thanks!!!

PhilippinesPASSPORT EXPIRING IN MAY - TRIP IN MARCH
I looked it up. 6 months min on passport

ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS: U.S. citizens may enter the Philippines without a visa for tourism purposes upon presentation of their U.S. passport, valid for at least six months after the date of entry into the Philippines, and a return ticket to the United States or an onward ticket to another country. Upon arrival, immigration authorities will annotate the traveler’s passport with an entry visa valid for 21 days. If the traveler plans to stay longer than 21 days, he/she must apply for an extension at the Philippine Bureau of Immigration and Deportation's main office at Magallanes Drive, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines, or at any of its provincial offices. If you are coming to the Philippines for other purposes, please check the Embassy of the Philippines website for visa requirements and/or the Philippine Bureau of Immigration. You may be denied entry or be given a fine if your purpose for entry is other than tourism and you do not possess the correct visa.

You need to go to US Manila Embassy website. There is a requirement to have so much time left on your passport before they will allow you to enter the Philippines. I just don't remember how much time. You should verify but it sounds like you don't have enough time left so you should expedite your passport renewal.
Good luck

PhilippinesCase Completed @ NVC October 2011
Using my home phone and cell phone, I had my wife on the phone to get all of the vital information such as her passport number, expiraton date of passport, family name, etc and I called a USA phone number and was able to get the Manila Embassy on the phone.
I then set up my wifes interview date. Good thing I had my wife on the other phone to provide all of the information requested.

PhilippinesCEMAR
If I recall, my wife had to bring both CENOMAR and Marriage certificate which were both from the NSO to the Embassy interview.
She had to have a copy of the CENOMAR from the NSO prior to us getting married in her town so she already had a copy of her CENOMAR.
Then she obtained a copy of the marriage certificate from the NSO after we were married.
I don't know if she had to prove that she was eligible to marry before we were married because she was applying for a CR1 visa.

How can you get a copy of a CENOMAR from the NSO if you are already married is the question? I don't think you can. I would think that the NSO would only provide a NSO certified copy of the marriage certificate.

You should have her eat a half of dozen Rocky Mountain Oysters.
In case you don't know what they are, Rocky Mountain Oysters are Bull balls. You can dip them in batter and fry them.

PhilippinesHow to Marry...
You mentioned that her husband lives in Singapore. Can you get the divorce done in Singapore? It may be a lot faster.
The USCIS does not care where the divorce occurred.
As long as she does not need to return to the Philippines before your marriage, I don't see being divorced in Singapore being an issue.
