I have my meeting for my CNI on 29 September, so will have that in place also. Did you manage to change your CNI the same day in manila? I thought from the Embassy website it may take longer. I hope not as would rather like to get to Cagayan De Oro as quick as possible to apply for marriage licence!
Pays to get to the NSO early I know what the queues are like, as I've been there a couple of times.
Well we did change ours same day, but this was a year ago. On another thread? someone said the rules have changed & you have to go back the next day? Like you are saying. That is a real pain, if you have to spend an extra night in Manila.
