FLR Waiting period

[Bluebirdjones]

Mrs Bluebirdjones had/has similar passport.

Some time after getting married we popped into the Philippine Embassy to
both register the marriage, and to amend her name in the passport.

... arrived at 10.15am .... passport ready for collection at 4.00pm.

The "name" amendment is merely an additional entry a couple of pages back.
We then applied for the FLR (for which we are STILL waiting) in her married
name, as both evidenced by the marriage certificate and her passport.

Stay lucky... and keep warm !

as simple as this if you like to put your spouse name on your national card then renew your passport but if u like carry on your single name on national ID then no worries to renew rush ur passport, my opinion

but since you'll passport will expire soon i would suggest renew your passport first b4 apply for FLR,at least nk 2 putok ka isang bala lng kasi rerenewhin mo din soon,i renew mo na din lng pr isa effort lng po

got you on that... but as mentioned in my post, my visa will expire on march 1 (that's 4 weeks after the marriage will take place)..and the thing is, embassy website said that waiting period for renewal of passport would run for 4 to 6 weeks.. website is mute on whether they are referring to just new passport applications or would also cover renewals...in which case, that might pose as a problem when my fiancee visa would expire soon...

the question is not on whether i would want my spouse name in the visa or not.. my concern is actually the time frame when each of these processes would take place....
