Its changed again? I know up until August last year, CAVA acted as a courier service for the whole visa process, meaning you sent the application and all supporting documents and passports, etc and then the Embassy checks, verifies, and if they are happy, return the passport with a visa via CAVA. This all changed after the chaos with the problems in Romaina and Bulgaria.

I'm thinking maybe they've partially gone back to using CAVA, but this time to process applications, and to let the Embassy deny or grant visas.

I dunno why they need to keep changing the system all the time, it only leads to confusion, especially when the Manila Embassy website seems to give contradictory information.

Well hopefully it means my Wife will stop worrying about how she will carry the excessive weight which is the Paperwork we have collected and which is growing by the day

Hopefully it also reduce the waiting time for the Applicants once inside the Embassy.

I have a feeling its wishful thinking but one can always hope.

What happened in Romaina and Bulgaria?

Just hope if the Embassy have reservations about the paperwork they give us the Chance to provide evidence to counter that claim.

Having read a site which speclizes in Imgration matters from all over the world a lot of the Embassies in potential hotspots like pakistan etc. Try to avoid having the Applicants enter the embasy due to security concerns.
