Hi guys,

I have an update on this.

I&#39;m a long way off applying for a visa - this is gonna be a long road methinks. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

I have finnally got my Mrs to get off her ass and try and sort out her paper-work (she does have 3 kids to look after) anyway as you can see from earlier in this post basically my girl has a birth cert that says BABY GIRL&#33;&#33;&#33; and not her name.
So she went to Manila yesterday to investigate how this can be fixed "City Hall" told her to go and see a laywer who said that she will need to pay 80,000 pesoes and it can take up to 6 months.

Here situation is different in that it&#39;s not an amendment but rather a new entry - what a nightmare 800 notes plus six months for a birth cert&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yikes.gif[/img]

Anybody got any experience of this - do you think the lawyer is taking her for a ride or will i just have to pay up and let her get on with it.

Any ideas ?????

She didn&#39;t by perchance mention to the lawyer that she was married to a foreigner and wanted to go to the UK did she?

That would explain the shafting with the 80,000 pesos. She will need to make enquiries as if she is just a poor girl wanting to to try and go overseas as a maid, which should get her more realistic prices for help.

Really, Filipinos will totally screw each other over if they think there is a buck to be made. Horrible people sometimes. I&#39;m pretty sure she could go to the local town hall, or whatever they have, and get the birth certificate sorted. It is quite a common occurence for illiterate peasants in government office to have ballsed up important documentation years ago.

80,000 pesos? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cwm24.gif[/img]

There must be another way - tell the Mrs to ask at the NSO - they are the ones in charge of birth certificates, maybe they will have a better idea of how to get this sorted.
