hello,

I am confused about this "singleness" document. My Filipina fiance is divorced and we are going through U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. My question is, do we still need this "singleness" document even if we already have the Divorce Decree and Report of Divorce from Philippine Embassy Tokyo? And, if it is needed, how do we go about aquiring it?

In the philippines..its called the CENOMAR (certificate of no marriage) which we can acquire thru NSO. And if your fiancee got married there in the philippines we dont have divorce but ANNULMENT. But it seems like she's married in tokyo ? I guess if she got married in tokyo and didnt report it in national statics office in the philippines then there's no record of that marriage in the philippines and she can still have CENOMAR.

I had to get one in Jordan. They had them on hand at the embassy and they notorized it there for $15 (i think?)

I dont know if that applies everywhere. I just emailed the embassy before I went, try that.

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

You may not need it especially if she already has her divorce decree, it depends on the embassy. Even though my husband is filipino we went through the Abu Dhabi embassy and we were not asked for the CENOMAR. I think there's a japan specific thread around here somewhere that might be a good place to ask.

good luck
