Certified documents/letters

[chrisepic 0]

When my fiancee writes a letter and signs it as evidence of awareness or legitimate relationship, same with a letter from her father of his approval, do these letters need to be certified/authenticated/noterized? Or will the originals just need to be saved until the interview?

I can't help but ask, is your fiancee 18 or older? I'm trying to wonder why you would need a letter of approval from her father to marry her? Am I missing something cultural?

Yeah, in the Philippines if you are between the ages of 18 and 21 you need a letter of approval of the marriage by the parents of the Filipina. If you are between 22 and 25, you need a letter of awareness of the relationship/marriage by the parents of the Filipina. My fiancee is 22.

Thank you! This I did not know! Learning something new every day!

Doesn't need to be notarized - just needs to be signed and dated. Send original signatures on all things that need signatures. You can all sign multiple copies so you have originals in your possession and originals submitted with the package.

Don't forget your letters of intent to marry - those are very short and easy - see the examples on this site.
