We have all the documents for our application.
My wife queued as NSO this today for about 6 hours, despite being near to falling over with a bad cough and fever. She's a hero!
Just waiting for her to recover to arrange the trip to Manila.
Not much chance of it going through before Chriatmas now, the embassy informs me the current time is 13 weeks.
I suppose we can still hope. If it doesn't go through before Christmas, it will be even longer than 13 weeks I should think with the Christmas holidays
