    Hi did they give the March date they are on?
    Two weeks ago when I phoned I think it was the 26th March.

    Ours was submitted on the 16th April so we are now in week 14 also
    Everyone keeps saying have patience but this seems like mental turture
    is there nothing else we can do but wait?.
    I will phone them Sunday or Monday coming and see if they will tell mw where they are up to.
    Mick.

    Hi,
    From the UK, +6328582398 or +6328582297
    They only take calls between 1 to 3 pm local time in Manila.
    So calling from the UK is 6 to 8 am
    I used Skype and call quality was good.
    If you phone please try to find what date they are now processing?
    Mick.

    i have the new 3 skype phone. best thing i ever bought. I will try on monday when i am off work. is this the embassy direct or vfs?

    I'm considering delaying my flight by 6 weeks as a safety net. I allowed 16 weeks from submission but now might not be enough.

    Hi, yes Skype is good, I call my wifes mobile phone with it.

    I think the phone numbers are to the Embassy as they are handling them, but to be honest I am not sure.

    We will not book a flight until we know, how long can this go on?
    Mick.

    Aaaaarrrrrgh - still NO news at all, that waiting is going to kill me
    And on top of everything from what I've seen in their statistics for last month their performance dropped significantly in comparison to May
    I just wonder how much longer they will keep us waiting...
    Still didn't got reply to my e-mails sent to UK Embassy and VFS

    Feel like fg mushroom - kept in dark and fed st...

    Excuse my rant please, good luck to all those waiting and fingers crossed...

    Youre excused !!! now for my rant......hehehehehe, nah, i cant rant, just simmer and stew like a casserole at 3000degsC!!! a 120 day wait would be ok if i knew the outcome would be positive but as some countries are getting decisions in under 2 weeks then the least they could do is give some sort of news within a month. Anyway, ive resigned myself to the fact that there is nothing we can do but wait unpatiently and become more and more frustrated as each day goes by. :(

    Hi rayoflight, LittleFingers and stedyfornow,
    There is definitely somthing wrong with what they are doing, I also phoned early in the 2nd week of July and was also told they were on the 26th March.
    It does not look like they are progressing much does it.
    Little Fingers, ours is a spousal settlement visa that was applied for on the 16th April.
    Stedy For Now, please see what others say but I would think it best to apply as soon as you can to allow for the extended time they are taking!
    Mick,

    hey guys..i feel sorry for the long wait..but just a question..would you think it will be better for us to file our application earlier due to this dilemma so if ever i can fly with him back to UK by december?cos we are thinking of filing it early october but having all these fuss..im not sure if it will be possible to make our plans work..but the problem might be the length of time that we've been a couple?cause that will only give us 3 mos of communicating if we file it by sept..thanks..
