Cenomar for a CR-1 visa?

[jandk 7]

I'm sure the NSO staff in Manila is overloaded with requests, and may take longer then an office in the provinces. But you will find many people have received the cert mush faster then five day's time..

Well I think countries may differ.. Philippines informed my wife she can get a Cenomar if she was single OR an Advisory of Marriage since she is married. Since we aren't in the "province," how long it takes doesn't matter, she isn't going to travel to a province to get a Advisory of Marriage because others may be able to bribe someone for a faster service(if that applies.) We asked for an expedited service but they don't offer it.. 5 working days only. If this applies to anyone just heads up.. 5 days before the interview is a good thing! not 4 like us

“Bribe” did not apply to my comment, it's just a fact

Good luck at your interview.

On top of the certificate is (Advisory on Marriage) AKA CENOMAR

The e-Census (www.e-census.com.ph) calls it a CENOMAR, Certificates of No Marriage. According to its website CENOMAR (Singleness)

A Certificate of No Marriage Record(CENOMAR) is simply what its name implies. It is a certification issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) stating that a person has not contracted marriage. The NSO is the central repository of among others, marriage records in the Philippines. It receives copies of marriage certificates from local civil registrars pursuant to the duty of the person solemnizing the marriage to send the duplicate and triplicate copies of the marriage certificate not later than fifteen days after the marriage, to the local civil registrar of the place where the marriage was solemnized.

So, saying that... "Advisory of Marriage is the same as a CENOMAR", is not entirely correct sir.. To make your statement correct and have a point.. a CENOMAR CRS FORM 4 IS FOR THOSE THAT ARE SINGLE, and A CRS FORM 5 - ADVISORY OF MARRIAGES. TECHNICALLY it would be two different forms. IF someone goes into a NSO office and ask for a CENOMAR what do you think they will give them? A typical CENOMAR CRS FORM 4. NOW if someone goes into a NSO office and asks for an ADVISORY of MARRIAGES(for those that are married) what do you think they would give them then?! You got it.. CRS FORM 5. So when you say things like

On top of the certificate is (Advisory on Marriage) AKA CENOMAR.

This broad statement would confuse people going through the visa process looking for the correct answers. Here is another example of what your above sentence should read.

On top of the certificate is (Advisory on Marriage) AKA CRS FORM 5.

To sum this 1-on-1 up. For anyone going through the process please ask for a CENOMAR(for cases where your on a K-1 visa journey) or ADVISORY of MARRIAGES(for those going through IR/CR-1 visa journey.)

Thanks for your time.

Good day all! I have read throughout the forums of people on a IR/CR-1 visa process getting to the Embassy interview and the cons requesting a *NEW* cenomar due to theirs expiring.... Anyone know the reason or logic behind this one??? Cenomar of singleness.. but we are married.... Doesnt really make ANY sense to me, but with our interview date coming up Dec 6th it has become a concern.. Thanks!
