CNI question

[aryM]

I have learned from one of the threads in this forum that it will only take less than an hour to get the philippines version of CNI, but i have also read in this site " http://ukinthephilippines.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/living-in-the-philippines/how-to-apply-for-a-cni/ " that you will to wait for 24 hours before it will be released. is this a new guideline?

I visited Uk Embassy in Manila this past April and my CNI was issued whilst me and the wife waited , they were quite busy because it was last day of businnes before public holiday , total time waiting a little over 4 hours .

based on our experience it only took few minutes to get the CNI certificate for my hubby.:xxgrinning--00xx3: and im sure others didnt take longer than 1 hour to have that certificate as long as you have all the necessary documents with you. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The linked i've posted was the CNI (EXPLANATORY NOTICE TO BRITISH CITIZENS CONTEMPLATING A MARRIAGE TO A CITIZEN OF THE PHILIPPINES) revised version dated June 2010.
