Interesting to note that YOUR wife and MINE share the same christian name!
... this NSO requirement is a pain in the
! Sometimes getting the marriage certificate authorised in this way, seems to take even longer than having the actual spouse visa processed!
And I understand that the blame for the hold-up can quite often be laid at the "feet" of the Catholic Chuch ... which has a tendency to issue certificates rather more intermittenly - and in bulk - as opposed to, say when the ceremony is a Civil one conducted by a judge, and the record passed to the local Municipal Registrar for onward transmission up the line to the National Statistics Office in Manila.
Hope you don't have too long to wait.
