yes bher, i guessed your husband applied direct from Philippines and not just exchanged from the British (CNI)one.
* In Jean's case here...her fiance went to a local register office (UK)and give notice that he wish to marry a Foreigner- The certificate will then be issued 21 days after the notice to marry....that certificate will be brought by him when he comes to the Philippines and have it exchange at British Embassy Manila for the local version of CNI*
