This is a no brainer.

We collected EVERY docuement, read that to mean EVERY document, including the Police certificate and the consent letter for the children BEFORE WE FILED THE I-129F.

Why one EARTH would anyone start down a very serious and life changing road, in our case for FOUR people, not just two, without having everything you were going to need and knowing you can get it and holding it in your hand?

Agree, this is not about what you or I want, but what governments request and demand.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Since your fiancee is a US citizen, I believe what he needs to provide is a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry.

Yes, you are correct. Its Parental ADVICE. :thumbs:

Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry is only needed if they are applying for a marriage license & getting married in the Philippines. The OP is applying for K-1 Visa.

That's what I thought too... But theres a different rule here in the Philippines we need a parental consent/advise for our seminar we can't go outside the country if we don't have that seminar and in some cases the consul also look for that consent/advise for some of the Pinays who had their interview.

If we Filipinos are 21-24 we need a parental advise

And if the Filipino is 21 below they need a parental consent.

That's exactly right. You probably will not have to worry about it now since you got through CFO without them asking for it. You got lucky. Even a 24 years old member here had to bring advice with her because they did ask for it. I don't think the CO is going to ask for it at the interview. You should be fine with your CENOMAR, but, you never know.

In other news, there is a poster on here that posted within the last couple of days that his I-129F petition was denied. He was given an RFE for is fiancee's parental consent (Filipina). Instead of complying with the RFE, he wrote back that there must be a mistake. He was denied. This was a surprise to me really when I read it. This is a huge exception because this is the first time I have heard anyone needing it for the petition, but the adjudicator can request these things. Unfortunately, he was denied because he didn't respond to the RFE properly. Usually, this "consent" or "advice" form is only asked for by the CFO. I think it's safe to say it is very rare if anyone else is asking for it throughout this whole process.

why would you need parental consent? you're both 23. you're both adults.

PI LAW for the PI person.

The PI LAW doesn't apply to foreign people, only PI people.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

True. The USC doesn't need this unless he/she was marrying a Filipo/a in the Philippines. This would be something CR-1/IR-1 petitioners would need to be concerned with. With the K-1, the marriage will take place in the US, and the USC needs to comply with US laws. In the majority of states, the USC can get married at the age of 18 without any parent's say so in the matter. There is no certificate to legal capacity to marry here either.

When in doubt, just obtain them parental advise and bring them to your interview to avoid delays or possible denial.

Good luck!

Yup.. But just in case that they want to have that parental advise I decided to get jt yesterday, I thought I will just get the form in the civil registry and in my surprise the lady in there gave me a note she wrote down parental advice then the name of the atty. she told to me to go outside the municipal and go to the atty's office. When I spoke to the atty. she told me that she will be the one who will be making the advice and it will cause 1200 pesos that includes the notary of the document. Me and my mother was shock coz the lady in the civil registry said that it will just cause 200 pesos, but I'm caught up and I just decided to pay that 1200 pesos.

Yes...I also read that one. I think it will be a case to case basis and how lucky a one person can be.

When in doubt, just obtain them parental advise and bring them to your interview to avoid delays or possible denial.

Good luck!

Yes. I decided to get it yesterday. Thanks!:)

Do we need to have the local registrar sign it? Or we can have the parents signature then the notary public
