    Now a Mrs. & will lodge a Spouse Visa application on 28th Feb!!! :-)

    Hello everyone!!!
    I'm back, I know, it's been awhile lol! My husband and myself has been so busy. If I could recall it right, my last post was 2 months ago on a holiday with him here in the Philippines.

    Well, just to give you guys a rough idea of what have I been doing..

    Firstly, I'm now a proud, happy & very much contented Mrs of my lovely husband Mike. We got married on 6th December '11!

    Secondly, I had to do everything after a month, eg. marriage certificate (NSO & local) & waited for ages because the local certificate came from Cainta, then I requested that I will be the one to register the copy to a provincial office which is located in Antipolo City. Again, I have to wait for 2 weeks until it will reach NSO Quezon City which is the main office for a final authentication.

    Thank God after almost 2 months since the wedding, I got a copy from NSO, which, is a very vital document.

    And it was really! I did my IELTS general training module while waiting for it & when I got the authenticated marriage cert., I hurriedly applied for a renewal of passport (to change my civil status).

    You guessed it right! It's another 2 weeks of processing though it's a fast track! 7 days the DFA claim excluding weekends of course but it really felt like eternity

    Oh I forgot, before DFA, I did a seminar for CFO SMEF office in Katipunan which was very convenient for me as I was close to the area. I got the certificate of attendance then brought it with me at the DFA.

    So moving on, at last, I emailed VFS to book an appointment (I made sure mike's documents had arrived before doing so) & now, I'm anxiously waiting for Tuesday to turn up & lodge my application by the way I availed their VIP lounge service

    Hope I'll make it this time again guys! I'll definitely let you know the outcome! Thanks for reading my bit & hope you are all doing well.

    Chel xx

    Hi Chel and welcome back. Congratulations on your recent wedding. My wife submitted her spousal visa application on the 18th January and we haven't had any news yet. Things seem to be very slow at the moment but hopefully we'll hear soon.Good luck with your application.

    Thanks juvyjones28! yeah I think let's just keep our fingers crossed with this matter, no matter how quick or slow it will take them to decide, there's still an upside after all this, to be reunited with our beloved

    Personally, me & hubby don't mind at all if it's another month or even a couple, but of course we are wishing for the best! x

    Thanks bigmarco! I know, it's a bit frustrating isn't it? lol but what can we do but wait & don't lose the grip & faith that maybe after a day or two you will hear the excellent news from them!

    Good luck to you guys! & I'll just mention juvyjones28 as well.

    Of course, we will all get there, to the instance we all look forward to!

    Hehe ofcourse gurl! We been there too, I was granted a tourist visa in 2009, went back to phil after 5 months, applied for student visa (denied), we tried again for tourist visa in 2010(denied again).. Its ashamed that the embassy people didn't give us the chance to be together again, but love conquers all so after all the hurdles we are here now patiently waiting for the spouse visa to live together forever goodluck to all of us!

    We all wish you very best of luck in you application. I'm sure all will be OK but no harm in crossing fingers. He he.
    It seems that there is quite a wait these days before you hear anything, so try not to worry too much. Patience is needed.

    I wonder if it could mean that the 'backlog' and 'peak demand' has come to an end

    Let's hope so
