Anullment in the Phil's, file K -1 with only Court Decision

[JeanLovesTracy 10]

Has anyone filed successfully for a K-1 Visa with only the court decision and Judges signature in the Philippines?

I realize you have to wait 15 days after the decision

Then wait for OSG to send cert of finality , another 4-6 week wait

Then LCR for annotated marriage certificate, more waiting

Then finally CENOMAR from NSO

I realize you need all these documents for the embassy interview.

This anullment has been a two year process and I simply would like some VJ members who have successfully sent the I -129F with only the courts decision

Thanks in advance

Key wording for filing the I-129F is - FREE to marry when you file. At this point can you go get married in the Philippines?

NO they can't get married in the Philippines with just a Court Decision. They need the Certificate of Finality/ Entry of Judgement with an Annotated Marriage Certificate and Cenomar/ cemar to get married here. So technically by Philippine law, she is not yet FREE to marry.

The other party can still appeal after a Court decision, that is why there is a standard waiting time before issuing the Certificate of Finality. Actually I was told by my lawyers it was 3 months.

In my case, I have my decision in February, Certificate of Finality and Entry of Judgement in June. Filed all the LCR/NSO/PSA process and had my Annotated MC by August.

I am sorry to say - you still have to wait for a few more months.

When we sent our I-129 F, I attached everything on my annulment document and annotated MC. I did not attached a Cenomar. I submitted the cenomar/cemar during the interview and she asked for my annulment papers but I did not submit my annotated MC.

Submitting a decision now with your I-129f is in violation of "Free to Marry" and all previous marriages has been legally terminated clause.

Yes I know. THAT was my point. They for sure need to be PATIENT.
