I hope that is the case !!!! will help with the trouble i am having getting an appointment at the british embassy at the moment

None of the mods have batted an eyelid at this. I might be missing something though....but having said that it appears to have been the case for some time that a local CNI from the UK Embassy has been a requirement before applying for a UK Spouse visa.

... that's probably because "ALL EYES" have been glued to the latest thread about the 'proposed income levels'. But here's one now!

I certainly had to exchange my British CNI for a Philippines one ... albeit don't recollect needing to make a prior appointment with the Embassy in Manila. However, that was in December 2008. Processing was carried out on a 'while-u-wait' basis, and took about 20 minutes from start to finish.

When my wife and I started planning our future, before we were married, we simply planned to get married in the Philippines using my NSO CENOMAR. But fortunatley someone pointed out to us that we needed to do more than that and this involved a trip to the UK embassy. We then went to the embassy and found out about the CNI exchange malarky etc

We also have lives outside of the forum. I think you'll find no one gets ignored here.
