Hi everyone, just come back from sunny Phils, had great Xmas there with wife and daughter. Sean88 I'm also the in same situation as you. I submitted a passport application for my daughter too - back in May - and still waiting. Still told going though security checks. It's so unreal that you give all the right documents and the right information to them and still they take time. Not even a phone call saying how long things will be.

I gave them my passport with my daughter's application in May and I had to fight for my passport back in December so i could go spend time with them in the Philippines in December. It's a complete joke! I had to wait for that passport so that I could file for my wife's visa because of the stupid income laws.

I hope we have some luck coming our way soon. I'll keep you posted on the progress of my application.
