The alternative to waiting would be to keep badgering them..... Like Jet did for ours.
We were fortunate, that one of her cousins worked for NSO in Cebu, and the lady in question kept an eye on things for us.
But to be on the safe side, Jet went to her place every couple of days for "follow-up"....
Don't worry, mate, you will get that piece of fancy paper, and I suggest you ask for a few copies extra.
You don't realize how handy they will become, we already had to use a couple.
Good luck, and cheer up.![]()
