I just married a wonderful filipina in her home province of Leyte and we have a marriage certificate issued by her municipality of Kananga but the NSO certificate wont be ready for 6-12 months according to the NSO head office in Manila. Is it okay to use the Kananga certificate for our Spousal VISA application even though the application guide specifically asks for the marriage certificate from the NSO & printed on NSO paper? Are there any special procedures to follow if so? I really appreciate the help!
