Hi good afternoon

 

Me and my fiance from the US have submitted a petition for a K-1 Visa for me last June 8, 2018. We got NOA 2 last December 19, 2018 and still waiting for NVC to send the case to the US Embassy Manila. However I am worried because it looks like I requested for my Certificate of No Marriage too soon and the date that is printed on my document is June 30, 2018 and we still don't have any confirmation from NVC as well as an interview date at the embassy. What should be the minimum months when the CENOMAR is issued so that it would be valid upon the day of the interview? Thank you!

Cenomar is only valid for 6 months. Yours should be good until June 2019...I dont think your embassy interview would be after June 2019 though...

 

Ofcourse you can always request for a new Cenomar should you need to.

You can email NVC to get your MNL #  once you get the email reply you can use copies of that to complete the medical

Once CEAC status shows READY you can schedule your interview.

CENOMAR and NBI should not be older than 6 months for the interview

NBI now has an expiration date and its valid for 1 year.

 

At least thats what they put in my NBI certificate

NBI has always had an expiration of 1 year.   The embassy doesn't like to see them older than 6 months is the deal

 

Same for the CENOMAR  ... 6 months or younger and the embassy will be happy

Will advise on Thursday as she is headed in with an NBI older than 6 mos

YMMV
