Hi, my fiance's annulment should be done soon and we're expecting to have the Certificate of Finality within the next 2 weeks. From the Philippines side, there is still work to be done: getting her records updated/annotated at the Local Civil Registry and then updating her records at the NSO (this could take up to a couple months I think). From what I know the US only cares about the Certificate of Finality (final decree), so I don't think I need her annotated marriage certificate or updated CENOMAR to begin her K1 application, is this true? Do you think it's okay for us to start her K1 as soon as we get the Certificate of Finality? Thanks.

Yes you can start the K1 now but keep in mind you will need the MC annotated and the updated CENOMAR for the interview. This is exactly how we started our process. The annotated MC took about 30 days from NSO. Good luck.

You are correct, you can file the petition now, USCIS will only want a copy of your fiancee's Certificate of Finality for the I-129F petition,. The updated CENOMAR will be needed once you are at the visa application stage in Manila.
