I popped onto USEM and they do mention the marriage certificate on NSO paper, interesting the embassy does not include that in their letter.

I am not talking about the marriage certificate.

I am talking about CEMAR(the advisory of marriage form).

Yep, the fact tat they often ask for CEMAR for CR/IR Benificaries at USEM has been common knowledge on VJ since before Anna's interview in Nov of 2009.

At her interview the CO said everything was good he just needed to request her CERMAR from NSO. To his surprise Anna produced the CERMAR and was instantly approved.

Maybe common knowledge

But then why so many people here still not know what it is???

Many people think I am talking about the marriage certificate......NOPE.

You're correct, a CEMAR is not the same thing as a marriage certificate.

What's interesting is that the NSO uses the same form to apply for both a CENOMAR and a CEMAR. At least, that's what I've read here on VJ. I hope someone will chime in on this issue.

Then, the NSO issues a CEMAR to those who have been married. Those who have never been married receive a CENOMAR. I'm guessing that those who have been annulled receive an annotated CEMAR.

Yes, correct....it is also referred to as "Advisory of Marriage". It is basically a cenomar for a married person.

It shows all previous marriages... they only ask my wife for that form because she has a 5 year old child from another relationship.

Yup...A CEMAR is officially known as a CRS Form No. 5 - Advisory on Marriages.

Here is a photo of it: my link.

I would say your last sentence basically answered your question: Despite there being multiple threads (which also specify the CEMAR is NOT the Marriage Certificate) many only skim the threads and miss the details like that...
