US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionAdditional Documents Ask by Consular Officer
QUOTE (dave&irene @ Mar 24 2009, 07:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
fter my interview this morning march 24, 2009 the consular officer ask me to submit the original copy of notarized child support of my fiance. he ask me that additional document and he said "ok, your documents had no problem but you need to submit additional documents." and thats it....so it means that i passed the interview?if i submit that documents he issue my visa?and also im just confuse coz after i accomplish this, are they goin to interview me again or not?please help us about this...
We had the same case but what they asked from me was my cemar (certificate of marriage). They return my passport with white sheet and instructions. You can send the additional docs thru Air 21 or personally but i advised you to bring it personally. They will not interview you again, all you have to do is get a no. and wait for it to be called. This time they wont call one by one, they will call 5 numbers all together in line to the designated window and will take your passport and additional docs. Theres no time to ask anything, what they will only say is that "you can go home now, we will let you know if we need more docs from you and if not you will just receive your visa". They will not tell you when. But good thing, i met someone from there submitting the same docs. He told me that the consul told him that as long as he will submit the right docs, he will get his visa in 3-5 days and that happened to me. I got my visa in exactly 5 days. Well the consul only told me he will not hold me that long but still no definite time when he will issue my visa. Good luck!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionhelp! I'm afraid I might fail my medical exam!
You will be fine as long as you are fit to travel. I have a friend who came here on a k3 visa with a heart problem and she decided also to have the surgery here. She also submitted all her medical results during the medical exam.

Philippineswaiting time for re-process of papers after submitting addt'l. docs

Hi everyone...I had my Interview last Feb. 25, 2009 and I was surprised when they require me to submit a Cenomar or Cemar before they approve my Visa and the CO told me that he would not hold me for long after i submit that. They've seen my Marriage Cert. authenticated by the NSO and i had no idea that Cenomar/Cemar is still needed coz they didnt require that from the City hall when we applied for a Marriage Cert. I requested a Cemar after my interview and i would get it by early next week. My worry is, how long i should wait to get my visa approve after i pass the Cemar? I heared from other people that it would take 3 months to re-process papers. Is it true?

PhilippinesWhat is there's no CEMAR?
QUOTE (MMW @ Mar 2 2009, 07:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
a CENMAR is the same as the CENOMAR. The CENOMAR is certificate of no marriage, The CENMAR is certificate of marriage. It is the same document. If you got a CENOMAR before you got married you will need a CENMAR from NSO showing your marriage is registered. Take your CENOMAR with you and if asked tell them the CENMAR is in process. Also it is fine to bring your husband to the interview it is actually encouraged. However some CO won't let your husband go to the booth with you it is depending on the CO.



Do you have idea how long they will re-process my papers or approve my visa after i submit my Cenomar? I already had my interview last feb. 25, 2009 and they ask me to submit cenomar/cemar. Other said, it would take 3 months, is it true? Thanks

PhilippinesCenomar problem
QUOTE (Riggs @ Mar 8 2009, 11:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello all,

I am going to the bislig next week to marry my sweetie. She was told at the hall in bislig that her and I needed a Cenomar. I thought this was odd as I will be getting my affadavit in liue of no marriage cert in Manila prior. I contacted the NSO in Butuan and they said that bislig is requireing cenomars for both because recently a foriegner had married in the philippines while he was still married from a another marriage that he had in the phillipines.

However, my fiancee went to Davao and applied for both of our Cenomars, they told her a 15 day waiting peroid. Butuan NSO told me that you get them the same day while you wait unless one of you were prioviously married. My fiancee has never been married but I was in the US and have been long divorced. I think the NSO is confused becaused they see divorced on my application and it doesn't stipulate where I was previosouly married, philippines or us. I believe they assumed I was married in the philippines and that is why they are causing the delay. My fiancee talked to them to try and get them to release it sooner, she said they told her that we could pick them up on the 17 of March. That throws all our hotel reservations out of wack and puts us 1 or 2 more days behing schedule for mariage application process and to marry.

I wish she would have went to Butuan but she went to Davao because her sister lives there and she is familiar.

Does anyone know of how I can reach the NSO in Davao or someone that works there that I might be able to explain this situation to to possible help get the cenomars released priorto the 17th?

I have never been to the philippines before so I certainly could not have married there before.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks much

Steve


I got my cenomar in less than 10 days thru NSO Helpline plus (tel. no. 7371111) but im not sure if that also applicable in the provinces. Ive heared from one of the member here that she got her cenomar in 2 days just paying a little extra charge. My husband never required for a Cenomar, he only get a Legal capacity to marry in the US Embassy and that will only take 1 hour. Actually, I only get cenomar for the US Embassy requirement. I got the staff from the City Hall in my town not to require me that anymore since we dont have enough time to wait until our wedding date. It would be nice If you can make a good arrangement from the City hall. Good luck!
