I-129F Filipino fiance - letter of parental advice?

[JGP 1]

Hello again to those who've read my posts before (and to those reading for the first time) I hope I'm not being too much of a bother but I just want to have everything together for filing the I-129F.

My fiance is Filipino and she's 22 years old. I've read about getting married in the Philippines (although I'm not doing this) that one needs to have "parental advice" between the ages of 21-25, I understand this to be a signed written statement from the parents.

My first question is do I need to include this in the I-129F package?

My second question is; if so, is there an example of a form letter for parental advice that I can take a look at?

I've been unable to find anything so far.

Thank you again in advance to any and all who reply!

It is not needed for the K1 application but she will need it for the CFO interview once she gets the visa.

She can get one at City Hall where she could also get a marriage license. They will have a blank form.

The parental advice/approval letter is a Philippine CFO policy, not a US embassy requirement. So it is not necessary with any dealings at the embassy.

I needed that letter for my wife as she was 22 at the time of our petition (july 09).

The letter was simple, 3-4 sentences if I remember correctly. Both parents sign and simply say in the letter that they have advised and approve her engagement/marriage to you (by name). She had it notarized by an attorney, but I am unsure if a notary was really necessary.

Others mention a form is available which would simplify the process. We did not have the form and just had the typed letter. CFO accepted the letter with no problems.

My advice is to get hand written letters in english from both parents showing that they met you and approve of your marriage and etc It won't hurt anything for sure and they like to see that the family is happy with you/approving

Hi. I need help regarding my situation. I am 23 and it says that I need to get a Parental Advice that I am getting married and travel in the US. 

 

However, I grew up with my grandmother side and I didn’t have the chance to meet my mother since 3 years old. On the other hand, I have communications with my father. 

 

Should I ask my father and grandmother to sign the parental advice on a different letter?

 

Please help. Thank you in advance.
