Thanks to everyone, I'm done with the visa. and will sort out my CFO this week.
Next step is yo get my ticket for the April flight.

BUT, i would like to stay in HK for 2 or 3 days b4 i go to UK. My sister is working in UK and I'd like to meet her b4 i go. I asked the visa section in manila and they've told me it won't pose any problem in UK immigration. But i'd still want to be sure, as my travel agent has told me that Cathay will not allow it. So he'll look into another airline so I can stay in HK.

Has anyone been into the same predicament? Should i just abort my planned stay in HK? Honestly, I'd really want to. And hubby was even d one who suggested I do so. PLease advise.

thanks!
