Hi Phyr2009!

If your dad's marriage certificate is not available even though he's married to your mom, then you would have to submit a statement or document from the appropriate civil authority confirming that his marriage certificate is not available. And you'd also have to submit secondary evidence such as the baptismal record, school record, sworn affidavits, etc.

It's all listed on the I-130 instructions.

And just so you know, parents' cases are being processed really fast. You'll probably finish their cases in no time.

Good luck!!!

PD: This is what I found out regarding marriage certificates in the Philippines. It's from the website that the NVC gives you (only specific to the Philippines):

"Marriage Certificates are available at any NSO branch. Procedures are similar to those for birth certificates. CDLI endorsements (see birth certificates) apply to marriage Certificates also. These documents are available at any local NSO branch for a fee.

Certified copies of originals can be obtained from the local civil registrar of the place where the marriage occurred. These are less preferred than Marriage Certificates issued by the NSO."

Phyr2009: Did you delete the topic about the marriage certificate? 'Coz my post above doesn't have anything to do with your I-864 question. I could swear there was a post of yours asking about marriage certificates...

Weird
