    Good Evening!

    Good evening all!

    We've been looking in on this forum now and again over the past few months. Today i had finally decided to register and have a good old moan about how long it was taking for my wife's visa to be processed!
    Then this morning- coincidentally - a reponse to an email I wrote yesterday, and then the "tracking system" (I use that term very loosely!) had changed to the long-awaited "with courier"! ... Our settlement visa was submitted 2nd July in VFS Makati.

    We are John & Roselyn married in Quezon City on April 28th. Thats us in the photo (of course, I say that hoping that it has changed from a smiley face or a photo of a hamster by now!!)

    Hello and welcome to the forum
    There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.

    hi john and roselyn
    congratulations to you both


    CRITICIZING OTHERS IS A DANGEROUS THING, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU MAY MAKE MISTAKES ABOUT THEM, BUT BECAUSE YOU MAY BE REVEALING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.

    Congratulations, John & Roselyn on obtaining your spouse visa, and a warm Welcome to the friendly forum. Now that the long and anxious wait is over, we hope you'll stick around and enjoy the fellowship offered on this site.

    Nice photo of the two of you, BTW.

    Congratulation to both of you

    And welcome to the forum
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    P.S. Meant to mention, John, that my daughter and her husband ALSO live in Aberdeenshire ... in the village of New Deer ... and I'd be interested to learn which part YOU belong to.

    Hi John & Roselyn,
    Welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting your visa. It's a very long journey and you've only just passed the first couple of hurdles, so just stay tuned here and you'll get all the advice you need to get over the other hurdles you will come up against. The next hurdle is the CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) http://www.cfo.gov.ph/ , which your wife will have to attend before she will be allowed to leave the country.
    Iain.

    Spouse Visa Received!!!

    I got around 2 hours sleep last night from sheer nerves!...
    The courier called while we were chatting on Yahoo messenger at around 05:00GMT and my wife redirected him to the internet cafe where she was... So I got to witness the courier handing it to her, and her opening it!
    Then about 10 minutes later a DHL guy turned up with some birthday cards that my my family and I had sent for her birthday on Monday.

    When I got to work I immediately booked a KLM flight for October 25th, and it cost me all of £126! I knew those air miles would come in handy!

    All in all it has been a very good day indeed!!!



    Arthur, I'm in a small fishing village North of Banff, living off the proceeds of the oil industry!

    Thanks to everyone for your welcome!!
