My Fiancee and Kids got back from VFS Manila today and in total took them over 2 hours of queing. I agree with you Brunei if I knew the service had existed would have payed it gladly just so they did not have to que.

With the Fiancee being pregnant and with our other little one there would have made life so much easier for them. Im afraid I'm in that group that Jim was speaking about one of them Brits that hates queing. I remember my lady queing to pick up her new passport last year when I was there and I was when got to the sign that read 2 hours from this point.

She did pay the 330 peso though for courier and txt messaging when a decision has been made by the Embassy so doesnt have to go back and pick up.

She told me that the VFS make 2 slots of 100 people from 8-1 for applications and then pick up only in afternoons from 1-5.
