US EM in Abu Dhabi Interview - CENOMAR

[jetlagged 3]

Hope you are all well!

I have received a letter from US Embassy in Abu Dhabi abt my interview on October.
In the letter, nothing was mentioned about bringing CENOMAR/ Cert of No Marriage but I have been seeing Filipinas working/residing here in UAE that they brought it to their interviews. I wonder if in their appointment letters, is it specifically states to bring cenomar?

Also, for the Dubai Police Cert, can u let me know how to obtain it?

Thanks in advance!

CENOMAR is one of the requirement to prove that your fiance can legally marry... so it is a MUST... (by the way, is your fiance is a filipina?)

Cenomar is required if you are marrying a Filipino. There's no harm on checking it and getting a copy.

A friend of mine intended to marry in Abu Dhabi too. Asked her mom to get CENOMAR for her. Ending up she already got married. Someone used her name. Now she can't get married need to spend a lot of money to clear her own name. =(

Thanks so much for the info guys!

Fiancee was in Phil Consulateto secure NBI clearance but it turned out they will just give you fingerprint card and she has to go to Dubai CID for finger printing, then go back to the phil consulate for some more processing then we have to send the papers including authorization letter to manila and have someone secure it for her.

for the police cert, she will apply for it probably on Sept as her interview will be on Oct.bec we heard validity is only 3 mos

Hello!

We got our NOA2 SMS and email June 7th and received the email from US Embassy Abu Dhabi on July 7th. So after NOA2, we waited for a month to get our interview date which is scheduled on October.

If you already waited for more than a month, I think you have to try to get in touch with the embassy in Doha. Check the consulate info so you would know more about the possible time frame and how they send you the packet 3 and 4. It varies depending on the consulate/embassy.

If anything, dont hesitate to PM me here.

Thank you for the info... i already emailed and called them time but got no clear answer.

can i ask are you or the embassy itself scheduled your interview?! coz that also not so clear for me... after you got your interview dates from the embassy, did you guys submit any forms to the embassy? and can you please tell what are the required documents for the interview?!

i know its alot of questions, but you're the only one can ask or relate with. thanks again..

and can i ask are you a pinoy?! just asking...

[jetlagged 3]

Even if I answer all your questions, it may not be of help to you coz we have diff embassy.

I have no idea abt Doha but in Abu Dhabi, they sent us an email containing all instructions abt accredited hosp for the medical and required documents. All sent via email to the petitioner. Nothing to submit prior to the interview.

Required docs are the usual DS forms, affidavit of support and attachments, police clearances, photos and medical results.

As what I mentioned earlier, it may differ in Doha. You just need to wait for the letter bec everything you need to know will be there. Or I hope you find someone here in VJ who underwent K1 process in Doha.

One thing I learned in this process.. do not worry too much, wait patiently without grumbling and keep praying.

All will be beautiful in His time

Hi!, Im Joanna, also from Ph but currently living in Dubai, I will have my interview on Dec. 11 (which is less than a month away) amd Im getting very anxious right now. First of all, I never received any emails, phone calls or any documents from the embassy, my fiance received an email from the consulate in US stating my interview date but thats all we have. Second, it was never mentioned that CENOMAR is required, so now I would like to ask again from those who had their K1 visa interview if they submitted a CENOMAR or Certificate on Non Marriage to the consulate during the interview? And third, how long did it take (for those who had their k1 visa) or will it take to received the visa stamped on the passport after the interview date?

I will be needing your feedback to somehow make me stop from worrying and thinking so much. thank you!

[jetlagged 3]

Hi there! First off, they will not send you any correspondence. Your interview schedule together with the list of required documents and accredited clinics for the medical will be sent to your petitioner. Secondly, in my experience, CENOMAR isnt in the list of required documents but I had it ready too as what the veterans here in VJ advised me. And during my interview, they didnt specifically asked for the CENOMAR but when she asked me all the documents I have she took the cenomar anyway.

I applied for a CENOMAR online thru this link http://nso.citizenservices.com.ph/cenomar . You can pay online or ask a relative to pay it at any bayad center. Once payment has been paid, they will deliver the certificate to your desired address of a relative. Ask them to send it to you here in Dubai via courier. That's your best option. it will take you probably 1 week if you start taking action now.

After you got approved they will ask you to come back after a week to pick up your passport with the visa on it.
