Ask ko lang po bakit hindi nyo na lang sinama sa application nyo yung Cenomar/Advisory in Marriage nung sinubmit nyo yung applications nyo? Nakalagay naman sa Document Checklist na kailangan ipadala yun pag sinubmit na yung application nyo sa CPC-M. Saves you time in that case..

Not sure about ella's case, pero for me sinubmit ko naman yun CENOMAR ko kasama ng application. But when I got my PPR it also asked for another AOM so kumuha ulet ako sa NSO. Even though married na ako wala pa din record sa NSO ng marriage ko kase it was done abroad. It will take a long time bago daw yun mag-appear sa record ng NSO so sinubmit ko na lang ulet yung CENOMAR with my passport last week. I'm thinking humingi lang ulet ang embassy ng isa pa either because they want an updated AOM (kase yung pinadala ko kinuha ko before our marriage) or they want to verify na wala akong pinakasalang iba after our marriage in the States. Not really sure kung ano ba talaga ang intention ng embassy kung bakit humingi ulet sila ng AOM even though nagsend na ako ng CENOMAR the first time. Hay...

dapat meron kayong documentation that youre marriage is legit kung sa ibang place kayo kinasal diba? maybe you can present that to NSO para may proof na you are indeed married. best to get hold for your marriage certificate from vancouver then call NSO on how to go about this issue, or kung pwede bang yung marriage cert from another place ang isubmit instead of NSO.
As for documentation na legit ang marriage, I think that's what the marriage certificate is for.

Ginawa ko din yun e. Pumunta ako ng NSO and I showed them my marriage cert kaso sabi nila dapat daw i-report sa embassy abroad kung saan naganap yung marriage and in turn yung embassy ang magre-report sa NSO.

Especially in regards to marriages contracted abroad, I guess the real question is - kelangan bang naka-register sa NSO ang marriage bago ma-process ang immigration? If so, dapat nilagay nila ito sa guidelines/checklist right? Pero ang sabi rin sa checklist - "If you do not have a record of your marriage in the NSO, send a CENOMAR". NAKAKALITO NAMAN SOBRA!!!! What do you guys think?

same din sa akin dati. binigay na namin intially yung family info form tapos we got our PPR so we submitted my wife's passport tapos exactly a week after we got another letter sa mail asking for the family info form... weird lang kasi sinubmit na namin yon eh, hiningi pa nila uilt. they are known for asking for additional documents kahit nabigay mo na. part of the process talaga..

usually ilang months bago dumating ang visa after ng PPR? sa lunes ko kasi balak ihulog sa courier ang passport ko together with NBI clearance, humingi na naman sila ng NBI pero kakapasa ko 2 weeks ago.. ;D

i wonder bakit yung iba ilang beses hiningian ng CENOMAR, pero ako isa lang....

Just sharing this with everyone, hope it helps.

# OF DAYS from the time passport was sent til DM on E-CAS
Seyshane: 119 days
Rhizzav : 28 days
mrssmith: 61 days
mahalko29: 48 days
blue_plane: 50 days
ilovemywife: 53 days

Average: 59.83 days (so its almost 2 months)

There is no real pattern here? but i just thought it would be helpful for everyone to see.

if you would notice here its only rhizzav who was not requested for additional documents AFTER SENDING her passport. She sent everything when her passport was requested and maybe thats why she has 28 days only of waiting and got the DM. Most of us who got the DM sent additional documents AFTER we sent our passport. seyshane on the other hand sent the the wrong nbi clearance kaya siguro medyo natagalan (no offense seyshane Ü).
hopefully complete din lahat ng info na binigay ninyo para mabilis ang DM
This is just PPR to DM
ang DM til makuha ang Visa is completely different. 2-3 weeks usually ang hintay

Checkout this table para makita mo yung exact dates na nakuha ang visa from the PPR date.

Click on it to enlarge. (updated as of 10/12/2010)

By the way guys, send a private msg to Filipina_love_canadian for further updates on this table, siya na kasi ang magtutuloy ng pag upload ng table natin.

I see. Sana nga sinabi ng checklist na "Your marriage must be registered at the NSO and you must submit an Advisory of Marriage from the NSO" edi sana mas madali natin na-prepare.

When were you guys married? Also, is this the first time you and your husband got married? And finally, pa-share naman ng timeline. I'm really curious as to how this turns out kase medyo pareho din yung situation natin. Being married abroad that is. Maybe you can ask the Philippine Consulate na pabilisin yung processing ng report on marriage nyo for immigration purposes.

Keep me posted, k? Thank you very much and Good Luck!!
