Hi thanks for the input. My fiance is coming on oct. 22 this year and he'll stay until nov.6 lang po. Problem ko kung makakakuha ba kami ng marriage license kasi we will start processing on the 23rd of oct, since gabi ang dating niya ng 22, the 10th day would fall on nov. 1 and it's holiday here... then and working day would resume na nov. 5 which is monday... The 10 days processing period ba includes the holidays, and sat and sunday... btw sa manila city hall kami kukuha.. thanks so muchche76 said:hi, i'll share with u what we did.
my husband only stayed for 21 days only, actually he was supposed to stay for less than that, he just extended it. when i picked him up at NAIA on jan 13 '11, we went straight to canadian embassy to get his legal capacity. we arrived there 1pm, there was no line at all so we were done in 30mins. after that we went straight to binan laguna city hall to apply for the marriage license. we were told that it will be released jan 26 '11 (10 business days). we had our civil wedding on the same day of the release.
please check canadian embassy website coz im not sure if you can get legal capacity everyday so better to check it out first. also, have your marriage cert endorsed para mbilis ang release ng NSO. coz normally, it will take 3mos or so but if its endorsed you can get it in a month or less. when you request for the NSO copy, also request for Advisory on Marriage. try to get at least 2 copies of both coz sometimes CEM will ask again.
btw, never try to get a marriage license without waiting for 10 days coz embassy knows about the 10 day waiting and since your spouse' arrival is reflected in his passport it will create problem.
goodluck on your upcoming wedding.
