MY INTERVIEW ATUS EMBASSY MANILA

[TravellingNomad 12]

My daughter was 10 when we attended the interview; the officer even asked her a few questions (your 10 year old has to answer unassisted). If you wish to bring a family friend or relative to the Embassy to look after your 5 year old, that person should present two valid photo IDs with signature (e.g. passport, driver's license, SSS ID, employee ID).

thanks for the input marriedtomrg. i'll have to check if sister in law has 2 valid id's. i remember the wife saying she has one ID. but not sure if she has another one. the best plan we have right now is before not to have the driver leave yet when they get dropped off. at least until they can ask the personnel over there to verify.

Marriage Index is the same with CEMAR, the one that you're telling me....

If my wife still has a Cemar from before we got married does she need to get another one after marriage for interview?
