Don't be too judgmental. You just need to understand not every place is America. Different cultures accept different things as norm. It has it's negatives and things that drive me crazy but there are so many things to love about it as well. I have spent years teaching my wife that it is okay to be strong and assertive. But she is smart enough to always do it with a smile. When people get too pushy there it does not work out well either. Just encourage her to be strong and not give up and most of all don't be shy.

So the marriage certificate we got from the Civil registar is not of any use????? Someone told me that it can take up to one year to get your marriage certificate and also to the person who commented about marriage and divorce me nor my wife had ever been married to any before there has to be a way to get a marriage certificate in the Philippines in less than a year. 

Nope.  Not for CFO, DFA or USCIS ... for that you need the PSA certified copy.    It usually takes upwards of 4-6 months to get this from PSA.  An expedite fee can be paid to the LCR to get the document to PSA quicker.

 

I will add that USCIS might be fine with the marriage certificate from the LCR (as they don't know the difference), but when your petition reaches USEM .. THEY know the correct document and could very well reject your petition, thus returning it to USCIS .. .and that pretty much means a DO OVER.
