Thank you!☺️

I'll just add that ROM needs to be registered with the consulate that has jurisdiction over where the marriage occurred (not where you live). Based on your VJ profile, I would assume this was in HI and therefore falls under the consulate there. But if you married in another state, then you would need to register it with the consulate covering that state instead.

I don't know that consulate in particular, but I've heard ROM filed in person is quite fast (day/days). No clue on the passport piece afterwards, but probably not too bad either. Sorry i don't have specifics.
