Hi Terpe
Thank you
I understand it much better now
I realised this just after I made my last post

In a. couple of weeks time, hmmmm
It's getting closer to that decision day soon then?
Wow, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time now.
We are praying for the right answer that we both need so much.

Regards
Louis & Olivia

Wow it has been now 10 weeks that we wait for an answer from the visa team in the Philippines.
It is hard to be positive in moments like this.
God, what else can we do, but to wait and wait?

Hi all
we are now coming up to almost 12 weeks since we made our application for my wife's settlement visa.
What can we do if we don't hear from them soon?

Hi Louis,

I do feel for you both. It's a long long stressful wait without any communication from the Embassy.

I think if it was me I'd want to make some contact to the Embassy.

You could contact to the general Consular services in Manila at:-
Email: - Cons.Manila@fco.gov.uk
Tel - +63 2 858 2200

For a more personal touch you could also contact directly to:-
Ms B Pastolero - Appeals and Correspondence Manager, Manila Visa Hub
Email: - manilvisaenquiries@fco.gov.uk

Usually Ms Pastolero does reply in a good time.
