document verification

[maria teresa 0]

I received some info from my lawyer and i'm not sure what to make of it. I emailed hom this same thing but he usually takes a couple days to reply back.

12. National Statistics Office Documents:

• Applicants whose visa eligibility is dependent upon their marital status (i.e. K-1, K-3, CR-1, IR-1, F-1 and F2-B categories) will normally need to have their documents verified through the National Statistics Office (NSO) before the U.S. Embassy in Manila can issue the visa. Those with a delayed birth or death certificate or only local civil registrar copies of such documents may need to have their documents verified.

• In order to avoid unnecessary delay in the visa issuance process, the U.S. Embassy in Manila strongly encourages applicants in the categories mentioned above to pay the document verification fee prior to their immigrant visa interview. Payment can be made through any Metrobank location. The cost of the document verification is PhP 650 per applicant. For specific instructions on how to pay the document verification fee, If you are unable to pay for the document verification before your immigrant visa interview, you may be asked to pay the fee on the day of your interview. Please note that if you pay on the day of your interview, there will be a delay of one to two weeks in the processing of your application.

What documents need to be verified? My fiancee' had an annulment does that along with her birthcertificate need to be verrified? Do we just take the docs to NSO? Thanks

I think you need a new lawyer (or no lawyer). I have read many posts here that say document verification is no longer needed in the Philippines.

Does anybody know where i can see an official statment claiming that DV is no longer required?

Just get a CENOMAR or CENMAR in your interview. Thats what they are looking for. Some docs needs to be verified even it's authenticated. No more DV , it was postponed for a while.

OK i am now very confused. Why would i need to go to CENMAR if we are k1 applicants? I though thats for K3. Also my fiancee' had an annulment. Will all the annulment paperwork be sufficient during the interview or do we need to bring the annulment somewhere to get them checked?
