Marriage, NSO, CFO change status, Passport change, Visa - How long?

[IainBusby]

1. Marriage contract NSO Certified ( submit it to your local municipality right after the wedding to avoid delay)
2.Attend the CFO seminar if you have your visa already. you will be given CFO Guidance and Counseling Certificates and Registration Stickers on your passport. if no visa yet, you could attend but you will go back for the registration sticker.
3. It wil take you time if you will change your passport.You could still use your passport in your single status name as long as it is still valid.
4. You need copy of your NSO certified birth certificate

I may be wrong, if I am I hope someone else will correct me, but I believe that the passport must be valid for at least 6 months when you apply for the visa.

Even if they don't insist it would seem sensible to make sure your passport is valid for 6 months or so after the date you tend to apply, otherwise it could have expired before you receive it back with your visa.
