Thanks for the advice Pete and Colin. I was able to get my details down on the birth certificate after producing my passport, I knew it would be important. Our baby can get a passport if we get married, in whatever country as she becomes legitimated. However I'll most likely bring her in on the dependant visa as I don't have time on my side really, if you know anymore i'm always checking the forum,,,all the best ,jim
Once your baby is here you will find it straightforward to apply for a British passport - as Baby's birth certificate already shows your name as father
The fee in the UK to obtain a passport is 25/30 pounds - SIGNIFICANTLY less than you would pay at the Embassy in Manila
also when Baby gets to the UK - YOU (not your wife) are entitled to claim family allowance - a whopping 17 pounds per week !!!
please advise when the first payment reaches your account as Pete and I together with other forum members will be round to help spend this government largess
