CENOMAR for USC??

[Cherry&Ed 4]

John--Hi, I am in 100% agreement with Tahoma. Previous VJ posts describing CFO experience support Tahoma's description/response. Additionally, my fiancee recently attended the CFO seminar and she was asked to show proof of my (never before married USC petitioner) singleness. My fiancee provided copy of my federal income tax return/ tax transcript showing that I filed as single. This was accepted at CFO as adequate proof. Another CFO seminar attendee at same session was asked to bring copy of her fiance's divorce papers. --RK

I think these requirements to attend a CFO seminar are new additions. I remember when I attended the seminar back in February 2009, I did not submit any proof of my husband's (then fiance) singleness or tax returns.

Tahoma is right! High 5!!!

You NEED to rephrase your comment! There is such a thing as a cenomar for a us citizen but it isn't needed for the K-1 visa application

You NEED to read what I wrote!! I stated that it didn't apply to K-1 visas. This is the K-1 forum. CENOMAR does not apply!

I know what you meant but you phrased it in a bad way! You said there is no such thing as a cenomar for a USC in a K-1 visa but there is such a thing it's just not needed!

I reviewed a few past posts here and so far it seems that a USC has to have a document of Legal Capacity to contract Marriage from the USEM before they can get a marriage license and get married in the Philippines. It was some time ago, but I got married in the Philippines and I seem to recall having to get something like that - but that was because I was getting married there. I do remember that it was no easy task to get married there.

I have not found anything yet regarding CENOMAR or Legal Capacity to Marry for K-1 petitioner. I have also sent a message to my Filipina Fiancee VISA Service rep and will post his response as well as anything else I can find on this. I have a particular interest in this since I was married in the Phils before and even though I have divorce decree terminating that marriage here int he US, I wonder if I may need Lgal Capacity to contract Marriage or CENOMAR for my fiancee's CFO seminar.

Me too.. I was married in the Philippines and is divorced here is US already. We are both USC by the time the divorce was finalized. I haven't had my Divorce Decree recognized in the Philippines yet coz we have no plans in marrying there. I then file a Fiance Petition for my Filipina Fiance and just got approved last week... I'm worried if this CFO thing could Jeopardize everything

I know you are close in finishing your journey, Pls. message me about the CENOMAR of a USC. I can have my Certified Copy Divorce Decree Notarized though with ribbon from the Philippine Embassy here in US and send it to my fiance if ever they need CENOMAR from me.

Thanks and please keep me posted.
