I thought I would start here again as it’s been about a year since my last post.
At that time I was looking for information about the dreaded annulment process, and the easiest way to bring Janice and her son here. My last visit to the Phils was in August 09 and was hoping the court’s annulment judgement would have been given, so we could get married, but this was not so.
In January this year she was finally given the courts decision and annulled. To be honest it has taken 1-1/2 years from start to finish, 2 Attorney’s and lots headaches. I was at the point of thinking this is never going to happen, even after the court decision. We waited I’m not really sure why, maybe the court to hand the papers over to the NSO or the NSO. Anyway last week Janice had the official annulment paper back from the NSO. We were both so happy that we can finally get married, we talked and planned about my next visit for hrs.
She sent me a copy of the annulment paper to read, I said I would look at it later when she had gone. We said our goodbyes and I was left to study the paper, I was horrified to see a spelling mistake with her surname. My happiness turned to anger with the NSO.
The next day she went back to the local office to ask for it to be corrected,:ReadIt: they said it was a mistake in Manila and not their fault. She should go there and they would correct it or pay the processing fee again for them to do it. My guess is she walked out of the office angry, not easy to go to Manila if you’re in Mindanao, so we wait again.
My advice to anyone going though an annulment is stay in the background, don’t let the Attorney know you are paying, expect delays and disappointments. Expect to feel you’re in a hopeless situation totally out of your control, oh and expect the unexpected and you’ll be fine. :Cuckoo:
Cheers Mark
