I agree with Terpe. When u lodge your application, you will be asked according to the list of requirements (in order). Following intructions always helps. I have photocopied the important documents that I think they need it as they always ask for originals except some receipts (I didn't photocopy it). I was even advised to take out any staples & clips while waiting for my name to be called. But it's good to keep in track with all your records & have it handy in case you are ask for more papers to submit...You're doing ok. No worries. Keep smiling


Thanks Maria B. I am so thankful that there are lots of helpful people in this forum. I will be going to include the scrapbook so the ECO will just read important highlights of each milestone in our relationship. I have already secured duplicate copies of everything. SO I think I will need to apply online and fly (for the first time) to Manila. Another adventure is on the way! Have you tried using the VIP Premium Service at VFS? Is it worth the pay? I need to have lodged the visa application in ONE day since I can't leave my work for a longer period.
