Ricky, I really like your patience with all these visa process. It is really annoying for some Embassy who can not think sensibly about visas. As if they are paranoid that every asian people, specially from Philippines want to stay for long in their green/cold country. A visit is a visit. They better meet the applicants and interview them so they can assess the visa applicants properly, rather than just look at the documents for God knows it can be fake.
