well it seems impossible to contact phil embassy london, as much as i try they don't answer the phone, just keeps ringing, wouldn't be so bad if was put in a queue, at least you know eventually someone will answer,
i only wanted to know which police clearances were acceptable ,
as i have 3 options,
1/ i undestand can get criminal record check from local police at £10, but i dont know if this is acceptable or will be detailed enough,
2/ basic disclosure scotland/ who have not replied to an email enquiry i sent,
3/ acro/apo, a little more needed to send than basic disclosure/ acro, asks for signed photo by a professional to say i am known to them, which if i get my doctor to do it, will cost me approx £25, plus cost to get my passport photos taken
acro replied to my email enquiry,promptly,with answers to some of my questions, but are unable to tell me if the certificate will be acceptable in philippines,
getting a prompt reply has made me think perhaps it is acro is the better one to deal with,because i feel assured now that if i have any problems they will advise,
so i am now in the process of filling in the application,but might be a couple of days before i get my photos done, then soon as i can get photo signature then to post
