Document background
The Affidavit of Marriage for Immigration is a critical legal document required in various immigration processes under Philippine jurisdiction. This document is typically used when couples need to prove their marital status for immigration purposes, such as spouse visa applications, permanent residency applications, or family reunification processes. The affidavit must conform to Philippine legal requirements and contains sworn statements about the marriage's validity, circumstances of the relationship, and current living arrangements. It must be properly notarized and often requires supporting documentation such as the original marriage certificate, identification documents, and other relevant evidence. The document holds significant legal weight as it is executed under oath, making false declarations punishable under Philippine law. Immigration authorities rely on this affidavit as part of their verification process to ensure the legitimacy of marriage-based immigration applications.
