How old of a CENOMAR....can be used...

[DougNHawaii 17]

Originally my fiancee and I were going to get married in the Philippines....but decided that the K-1 route would be quicker.  Long story short, she got her CENOMAR a while back, and we didn't end up getting married.  Finally got out I-797 approval, and I was wondering.... Can we use the CENOMAR we acquired last year?  Or does a CENOMAR have to be within a certain time frame of her interview at the embassy?

 

Thanx!

One more question.....it has been a little vague.....but does my fiancée leave the Manila embassy with her visa....or must  she return home, and wait for it in the mail?

It arrives via 2GO. They will not issue a visa while at the embassy.

Does....2GO.... service Vigan in the North?

Embassy doesn't like the CENOMAR or NBI to be more than 6 mos. old. They will issue an RFE for you to submit new ones if yours are older then 6 months.

You might google 2go and search where they deliver to. They may and may not but if they don't they will deliver to the closes office for pick up.

One of our friends Hank, has created a web site with all that you will need to know to get your visa at USEM; and if it doesn't say so then you return back here and ask.

Thank you...I will look at that!

At what point does this come into play:

 I-864, Affidavit of Support

 

Does everyone fill this out....or only if requested?

For AOS after entry on the K-1 visa then marrying. I suggest reading up on the entire K-1 process from I-129 -> NVC -> embassy -> POE -> Marriage -> AOS -> (LPR) Green card holder -> ROC -> Citizenship (optional).

 

For the K-1 visa, they may request an I-134 t the embassy. Manilla COs usually odn't do this, but it's good to have one ready in case.

Embassy likes the documents to be less than 6 months old, she will need two as CFO will ask for a copy also.
