Another peice of advice I'd like to give: Don't waste you precious time in the Philippines exchanging the CNI. Just post it there and you can get your fiancee (or in my case her family member) to do it for you. That way, theres less to do when you get there.
On the other hand, you will also need to show other supporting documents if someone else does it for you. Much easier to go in person. Also the postal service to Phils is 'shocking' at the best of times.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
