Hello Kabayan, yan po yung standard sa atin sa Pinas. Pero there's a fastest way without paying "under the table". Just tell the Officiant/Solemnizing Officer to have your Marriage Certificate (MC) under Advanced Endorsement, since you will need it ASAP for immigration purposes, you will get your NSO copy of MC in one month or 3 weeks. Just ask na lang po the procedure ng advanced endorsement in your local civil registry (LCR) kasi iba iba naman ang procedure per LCR. And just follow up na lang kasi minsan, may kabagalan talaga sa atin .That's what i did
