red ribbon certification Philippines

[msamulski 0]

My filipina fiancee is concerned that she will need to get "red ribbon" certification on her birthcertificate, cenomar, police report, and even her passport before she presents these documents to the U.S. Consulate in Manila, Philippines during her K1 Visa interview.

I told her this is just an attempt by more Philippine jurisdictions to collect another fee. I have not read talk of this "red ribbon" issue in these forums, and I told her that the U.S. Consulate probably doesn't care about a red ribbon since this certification is acknowledged in the USA.

Can anyone share some insight about this?

Thanks.

Red ribbon is not necessary at all and she shouldn't worry about that. Just make sure she have her nbi,police clearances from other country,birth cert etc.

meant to say...... "the U.S. Consulate probably doesn't care about a red ribbon since this certification is NOT acknowledged in the USA".

No need... if she does not believe you... tell her to join this group on facebook http://www.facebook.com/groups/happyladiesvip/

There's absolutely NO need to get those documents authenticated (red ribbon). As long as she presents the original and valid (not expired) documents at the interview, she'll be fine.
