the wait of 11 months is all manila, if you got no information after 4 months contact ur MP, i waited patiently now i realize i lost out on 8 months, i would say the avg for you will be 11-3=8months You can check the spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtCLbbZupkY_dHJRT2R1alhXS2xaUzFTcHZsTUhVbHc#gid=0 to see how May is faring as far as processing time.

Sis Passport number ang pinakamatibay na identity natin sa Pilipinas yun ang nilagay ko sa lahat tulad ng Generic IMM0008 . Saka yun ang pinalagay sa akin ni hubby ko kaya yun ang sinulat ko dati.

Magpa appoinment kana agad sis sa Passport online for renewal mo para makakuha ka agad ng maagang appoinment sandali lang naman yun ipa rush mo na agad 15-25 days lang . Pero attend ka muna ng Counselling sa CFO requirements kasi yun para mapalitan mo ang status mo sa Passport sis kailangan mo nung mga Certificate na matatanggap mo after Counselling . Titignan yun sa DFA sis yun ang requirements nila.

i just for told i need to have a Cenomar to my requirements also its on the kit:

IDENTITY AND CIVIL STATUS DOCUMENTS
1) For the Philippines
The following original documents are required for you (principal applicant, regardless of age) and
for each of your dependent children, if applicable:
• Birth Certificate
• Marriage Certificate
• Death Certificate
• No record of marriage (CENOMAR) or Advisory on marriages
These documents must be issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) and printed on NSO paper.

my question is this only for me as the applicant or should i also request one for my wife (sponsor)? should i request a new one which my status is married already.

You cant get married or you cant apply for a marriage license w/o CENOMAR i took that before then I kept it and attached in our Application then after we got married I took 2 copies of Marriage Certificate from NSO together with it my AOR 1 for me (Applicant) and I gave 1 for my sponsor because we both attached those before on our Application base on the checklist. I got those because my God father working in Municipal Hall and they're the one gave me the request in NSO to get my Marriage Certificate together with AOM .

how about CENOMAR?

Before we got married we need to have requirements to get a Marriage License and this are CENOMAR or singleness for the Filipino Citizen (the Applicant its me from NSO) then Legal Capacity for the Canadian Citizen for my Sponsor (my sponsor singleness we took it from the Canadian Embassy Manila) .

For the Applicants staying in the Philippines and Filipino Citizens before we got married we need to have or to get a CENOMAR so we can apply for a Marriage License because that's the rules in the Philippines. NSO office can only issue a CENOMAR if a person or citizen is still single. Like what I did before , they issue me CENOMAR before for my Marriage License requirements.

Then, after I got married I requested in NSO for my Marriage Certificate andAOM then NSO issued me Marriage Cetificate and AOM Advisory on Marriage.
