Hello,

 

I recently completed the IR2 visa interviews for my 2 children in Philippines. The officer held on to their passports and explained that everything is good. However, they need a certified copy of our marriage certificate.

 

My county tax office offers an electronic certified copy. Can I go that route and just upload it in CEAC? Or do I need to get a physical certified copy too and have it shipped to Philippines and dropped off at LBC?

 

The post-interview document checks off both options, but I’m not sure if it’s just an either-or thing. Has anyone else had experience with this situation?

Correction from earlier: The kids do have their passports.

 

After doing more research, it looks like I'll need 2x physical certified copy of the MC, which I will upload to ceac upload portal AND submit each together with each passport along with this sheet Microsoft Word - PH_IV Document Submission Letter.docx (ustraveldocs.com)

I'll grab 2x physical certified copies of the marriage certificate early tomorrow and have it shipped out to Philippines asap!
