CR1 Physical, Philippines

[dle3452 7]

Hi,  

So far no one has mentioned the physical for a CR1 spousal Visa,  How and where near Manila can we go for her physical?

Our Journey so far,

I filed May 27th, 2023, I got approved Sept 2024, before I was approved they asked for more proof of our marriage.  Apparently they didn't see where her marriage was annulled, they were looking for a separate document, in the Philippines they annotate on the boarder of the marriage license the annulment information, I drew a thick black boarder around it with arrows pointing to it, sent the package back in digitally, with in 3 days I was approved and my case was closed and moved to the NVC (National Visa Center)

Once at the NVC,  things started rolling along fast, after all of our documents were approved it slowed down again.  If you don't hear back from the NVC with in a reasonable time,  go to this website, https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visa-inquiry-form/, fill out the form and ask your question, they always got back to me with in 7 working days. 
There is a process you must go through to get to the area where you can make your biometric and final appointments.  The biometric is to prepare you for the final interview, they take your finger prints check you documents and so forth, this is not at the embassy, they will provide the address when you get to that point. Her biometric appoint is in Feb, final appointment is mid March, hopefully she will be here in the US by end of March. 

Thank you, and good luck on your visa journey

The separate document they are probably looking for is an "Advisory on Marriages" or a "CENOMAR".  She may make it past NVC by highlighting the annulment annotated on the Marriage Certificate but she won't make it past the Embassy without one.  They are strict on that point so do go ahead and order one.  You can get one by ordering a "CENOMAR" online at https://psaserbilis.com.ph/ or you wife can pick one up at a local PSA office.  Order a CENOMAR and whatever document she receives  (Advisory on Marriages OR CENOMAR) is what the embassy requires.
