Hey Everyone! Newbie here! Thank God I found this thread. makakapag'tagalog na rin. :)

Tanong ko lang po regarding the PERSONAL DETAILS section of IMM0008. In Box 3, humihingi po ng UCI #. May nakita akong posts sa forum giving mixed reviews on this.

Nag'apply kami ng Visitor Visa back in 2014 and it got rejected, will providing the UCI # make a different? Also, if we provide the UCI #, do we need to explain that we applied for the Visitors Visa back in 2014? It does not ask for the explanation so was curious.

Salamat po in advance! :)

As far as I know, you are only issued One UCI #. If you do have one, then you should use it.

Happy New Year!

are you using the old forms still? Kasi may question sa isa sa mga forms if na-deny ang Principal Applicant ng any kind of visa.

Edit: IMM 5669 - Schedule A - Background / Declaration
Question Number 6, letter D.

yeah.. found it. nakakapagod din pala to ano? wew! salamat ha! :)

Ours took about 10 months to get it all done. I get a lot of distractions kasi :) But we are now on a waiting game as we finally submitted the app on the 19th of December :)

Good luck to yours. Hope you get it done soon.

Wow! Buti pa kayo tapos na. Good for u and ur partner. Congrats! :)

We started ours last August 2016 before the wedding until now it is not done yet. My husband advised me to used this forum on asking questions, pero naunahan ako sa takot. If I just listened right away, i maybe not going to review all over again the forms. Saves time. :( oh well..

Hopefully I could get it done before our NSO Marriage Cert will arrive so i can send it to my partner one at a time.

God Bless and Good Luck to all of us here! :) ;)

When did you get married? You could have requested an advance endorsement of your MC. Doing so, you should have a PSA copy of your MC in less than 2 months from the date of your wedding.

P.S.

Once you have PSA copy of MC, pwede ka na din mag request ng AOM or Advisory on Marriages. Ako kasi I sent both na para sure na meron na lahat. Whether they need it or not. Yung iba kasi na may PSA MC, hinahanapan pa ng AOM. Yung iba naman hindi na because they also sent their CENOMAR. Ako lahat sinend ko :) That is why I am hopeful na sana wala ng hingin pa na additional documents later on.

Yes, this forum is really a big help. I was also hesitant at first. CIC website though is indeed good. Pero may times talaga na hindi ka pa din sure sa ibang items on the form/s :)

We just got married last November 8, and got our MC one week after the wedding. I let my husband keep it as well as our CENOMAR coz i can always request PSA here if really needed. After we got the MC, I went to our City Hall and asked for a certificate so I can go to PSA Office and file it on my own, but they did not allowed me. But they have this electronic thingy in endorsing my data to PSA database, will just have to wait 2mos after filing. Hopefully i can have the PSA MC this coming January 18.

I have no idea what is AOM. can u tell me more about it please? Excuse my ignorance. :)

You should ask for an endorsement letter from where the MC is registered para ma-expedite ang PSA copy ng MC. Pag wala kasing endorsement, you will have to wait 4-6 months if you were married in Metro Manila (a bit longer if outside MM) bago pa maging available sa system ng PSA ang MC nyo. Bale yung copy ng Endorsement Letter and receipt ang dadalhin mo sa main office ng PSA para maka-request ka ng MC nyo. In less than 2 weeks from date of request, may PSA copy ka na ng MC. Si PSA din ang magbigay ng date kung kelan mo pwede ma-pickup.

AOM is the counterpart of CENOMAR. If you request CENOMAR and your MC is already available in PSA's system, you will be issued AOM instead of CENOMAR :)

If you already have one, Yes. Para mas madali na makita ang file mo.
