my fiance and I was able to get the CNI in just one day. The embassy people have been very considerate to us. My fiance's flight was delayed for more than 9 hours and was not able to get the connecting flight to davao last sunday. so he was rerouted to manila monday and we were not able to reach to the embassy on time. there have been misfortunes we have undergone the past days, but we felt very fortunate as we dont nee to rebook our flight to davao because we were able to get the CNI around 4 hours after we apply for it. To God be the Glory! hopefully no more misfortunes now as we are working for our wedding on Nov. 23. Thanks everyone for the infos i got here.
