Hi i got married when I was 20. my husband is 21 during that time. Hubby is an LPR.

-would the embassy look for our parent's consent?

-would they consider our marriage as invalid?

-or the embassy wont notice our age at all during the time of our marriage??

You are legally able to marry at ages 20 and 21 without any parental consent. They won't question your ages at all. There's no reason to.

Marriage requirements vary by country.

In the Philippines:

Marriage applicants who are age 18 to 21 must have parental consent in writing, those age 21 to 25 must have written parental advice (a written indication that the parents are aware of the couple's intent to marry). The revised Family Code of the Philippines, which took effect on August 4, 1988, prohibits marriage for individuals below the age of 18.

I'm not sure if they will require proof of the consent for a CR1.

I see. Im just worried that the embassy myt think that our marriage was just bcoz of my intent to be an imigrant out there. i hope they wont be asking for it. bcoz during our marriage the minister didnt ask for it. would the Authenticated NSO Marriage Contract prove its valid?

Might be easier just to go through the process agin when you are of age.

But you need legal advise, Manilla Consulate I am sure will be fully aware of these issues and if you can not support the validity of your marriage you are jsut asking for trouble.

How far of is your husband from attaining Citizenship? Or have you been married for a long time?

Well I guess you know you have a bit of a wait, in the meantime I would investigate to make sure that your marriage is considered legitamate in your Country.
