hello po!

newbie here. mag-enquire din ako like you about processing ng spousal visa.

we got married lang last july 6, 2013. Got the local civil register Marriage cert from the church last July 27, 2013.
last week i requested for authenticated marriage certificate (rushed worth PH 260) from tagaytay municipality and sabi ng kausap ko it will take 3 weeks to 1 month before makuha. I need this NSO-MC so i can attend the CFO (comission on filipino overseas) counseling to get a certificate wherein 1 of the requirments for renewal of passport for change status and surname. I'll be waiting for a maximum of 1 month para lang ma renew ang passport then bago marelease ang passport will take 7 days for rushed processing.

While waiting i'll start to request for the ff documents:

a. authenticated Birth certificate (2 copies)
b. Advisory on marriage ---- confuse ako dito, different ba siya from authenticated marriage certificate???
c. Police clearance --- ilan kaya ang need ko i-request??
d. NBI clearance - needed pa ba to??? international ba yung kukunin ko???

Advise ng husband ko na magpa-schedule na ako ng UPFRONT MEDICAL @ St Lukes's. Tama po ba na magpa schedule na ako though wala ako requirements na natatapos? how much po cost ng medical?

Mga sis, paki check naman po kung ano ano pa ang kulang from above info para po maayos ko na din.. kasi 2 months na din ang nasayang waiting lang for NSOmc.


Thanks in advance!

hi fattykat06

yes, advisory on marriage is different from marriage cert.--kabaliktaran siya ng cenomar
yes needed ang NBI clearance..
you only need to provide police clearance if you stayed in other countries for 6 mos or more

hope this helps!! :)

I got an email from RE-MANIL.IMMIGRATION @ international.gc.ca on Aug. 5, 2013. They asked to send the additional documentation required within 45 days. My husband sent it all on Aug. 7, 2013, and via Collect Courier, and the woman guaranteed him, the visa office will receive it in 2 days (Aug. 9, 2013)

They asked my husband to send:
Appendix A, NBI, Original NSO Advisory of Marriage, Written explanation from myself, Copy of my child's birth certificate, and Original Passort.

Has anyone experienced this? What's the next step?
toopieNbinoo.....when did you submit your application?? As someone has mentioned....GOOD news is that they're looking at it and haven't rejected it as incomplete...wondering how long its taken them to look at it..

hi fattykat.... in my opinion, take ur medical once you're ready to submit your appli and docs to your husband, coz it might expire and the embassy will ask you to re-do it, which will take you additional months of waiting. uhmmm, yun scheduling naman ay one week before you take it. may list of accredited clinics, so it doesnt have to be in st lukes (coz mdame plage tao dun).
and you need 9pcs photos (check mo yun specifications sa guide). goodluck.

Hello fattykat06... in my case nagparenew ako ng passport ko since 3-4months na lang mageexpire na sya then sinabay ko na yung change status and surname ko para isahang lakaran na lang. Tama required talaga sa CFO ang MC authenticated by CFO medyo matagal nga yan pero kasi ako after wedding inasikaso ko agad yan since magrerenew nga ako ng passport.
b. yun Advisory on Marriage yan yung cenomar din pero since kasal na kayo pagkumuha ka ulit advisory on marriage na ang tawag at maaappear na dun yung married name mo
c. di na ako nagpasa pero ask mo din yung iba
d. sabihin mo sa purpose mo na for Canada yung kukunin mong NBI, advise ko lang mas ok na kumuha nito paghalos tapos ka na magfill up ng forms para di ka magworry dahil 1yr validity lang 'to

tama si pei about the medical issue... :)

Hi sis Dswifey, thanks saa reply! right now waiting pa ako sa releasing ng NSO-MC namin do you think puwede na rin ako mag request ng advisory on marriage?

I stayed in Dubai for 2 years and just came back lang here sa laguna last may 2013 but my poice clearance expired kasi sabi ng husband ko kumuha agad. Sayang nga eh kasi ang mahal pa naman ng bayad :(

No need na ba ang police clearance here in the philippines kung may nbi na ako?

Also, sa pagkuha ko ng nbi need ko ba na ichange na din yung surname ko to married name?

Sorry ah dami tanong.

TIA!

Sis eeza,

Thanks sa reply!

Yung passport ko will expire next year june 2014 pa. Paano ginawa mo nampag aayos sis? You have a point kasi yung police clearance ko sa dubai is using may old surname kasi single pa ako that time. Ilang pcs ang nirequest mo for your marriage cert sis?

Salamat!
