Country-Specific Requirements

We are familiar with the Philippine document requirements for immigration authorities in each country we serve.

United States (USCIS / NVC / DOS)

USCIS, the National Visa Center, and US consular officers follow the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) for Philippine document requirements. We supply documents that meet these standards — original PSA security paper, apostilled NBI clearances — for all immigrant and nonimmigrant visa categories.

Canada (IRCC)

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada requires original Philippine civil documents for spousal sponsorships, work permits, and permanent residency applications. DFA apostille is accepted for Philippine documents submitted to IRCC. We handle the full procurement and authentication chain.

Australia (Home Affairs)

The Australian Department of Home Affairs requires Philippine civil documents for partner visas (subclass 309/100, 820/801), skilled worker visas, and citizenship applications. We supply apostilled PSA and NBI documents meeting Australian requirements.

Other Jurisdictions

IGRS documents are procured with DFA apostille, making them legally recognized in all Hague Convention member states. If your client is applying in a jurisdiction not listed here, contact us to discuss specific requirements.
