After months of messing around getting NSO marriage certificates and documentation and statements and all the rest of the small book of forms needed for a spouse visa this English test comes along..

Simple question, we have all our documents to apply now even though the rise in fees up to 55,000 pesos is going to kill me. I have made a date with VFS in manila for my wife to apply for spousal visa for 26th november, does this mean she will get around the having to take an english test coming in on 29th before a visa can be applied for? i know she would need to take it eventually but rather in two years and in England.

Havent seen my nearly five month old daughter in four months

Thanks
Paul
