Does this new cava courier service have limits on what is allowed when you apply for a visa?

Weight, size of photo albums etc?
I don't think photo albums should be in the application. Maybe a dozen or two separate piccies in an envelope, but not whole albums.

We recently sent in the application for my mom in law, and everything was gone through with a fine tooth comb by somebody in the PLDT telephone office, who was on the phone to the embassy checking items off one by one. She sent in a fair wad of papers, copies and originals. You can get a hell of a lot of flat sheets of paper in an A4 jiffy bag.

It took just six weeks from CAVA collecting the pile, to the interview, to getting the visas issued, so things have sped up a lot.

When my wife got hers, four years ago, we were told the waiting list was six months for an interview, but she was given a stand up interview on the spot and it was all over in a day.
