    Yes, I've been following the thread..... and feel for you.

    It's amazing that they are centering all visa applications for the whole
    regional area in Manila, and it's already beyond their capacity to provide a timely service just for the Philippines !

    Hi Blue,

    Do you think if I'm living in Metro Manila the visa result will be quicker?
    Life can be happier & less stressful if we remember one simple thought..We can't have all that we desire,but prayers will give us all that we deserve.God bless everyone!

    there's no difference.

    It base on applicants situation and supporting documents and depends if the embassy is busy or not. Some applicants received their result less or more than the time limit of visa processing.
    Not an expert, I only try to help.

    ... Sorry, I didn't make myself clear ...

    ... as posted some days ago by another user...

    The UK Border Agency has announced that the British Embassy in Manila will be the new regional hub for visa processing starting January 2009.

    The Manila post will handle UK visa applications for Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea. Other regional offices may also submit its visa applications for processing later this year.


    ... so proximity to Manila means nothing.

    Take care

    Hello Blue,

    Will I be affected with the new visa processing which took effect last month?

    I think only me left who applied last NOV 2008 and no result..The rest got their visas!...My case is too hard to handle

    I would think that you are affected by this, maybe it is the reason why you are still waiting. Manila started dealing with the other nations visa applications in January - so maybe we are all affected by this new strategy - maybe all applications start getting longer now.

    Praise, take this, the fact that one week was a Christmas week, as reasons why you are still waiting. It won't be long now. I know you are maybe tired of hearing it, but it will not be long now. Good luck always.

    When we applied, I was hopeful to hear in 8 weeks, now I am expecting a 13 week wait.

    more likely to do with your age, i might be wrong, but the 2 couples who are waiting the longest were under 21 when they applied ??

    Hello Ady,

    It's bad like waiting for almost 3 months ...It's stressful and tiring.. Now I have doubts why mine is taking so long and some people here who applied last Nov 27,2008 and they don't have any problem about waiting ..

    Hmmmm..I don't mind waiting though as long as it's granted in the end ..

    Am I wishing???...Well I'm trying to build my hope because who knows they will grant me because of my daughter and they will just ignore my age.....hehe

    Ady I bet your wife will get her visa earlier than me lol but good luck to yous as well...

    Cheers!

    Thanks LadyJ,

    I think something is unlikely why it took long time. It's not fair I think to me lol.

    Anyway I have no choice here so all I can do is to sit and wait here..


    Wish me luck

    Cheers!

    My thanks

    for all the "congratulations", "best wishes", "well done" messsages.

    BUT I couldn't have done it without the help & advice of this site, and the
    various threads that have been posted.

    It's YOU who should be congratulating yourselves.

    Once again my thanks.



    (EMPOTT ...... check your PM )
