I have visited the Bureau of Immigration in Davao in order to extend the stay on my Visitor's Visa.
While there, we enquired about the process of applying for a 'Non-quota Immigrant by Marriage' Visa. Most of the process seems to be okay, but two things concern me, and I wondered whether anyone on the forum could offer advice.
One is that I require a 'Police Clearance' from country of origin. I wouldn't know how to go about obtaining this even if I was in the UK, but how can I obtain such a document while in Phils?
The other worry is that the guidance notes state that 'Documents executed outside of the Philippines must be authenticated by officials of the Philippine Foreign Service at its place of execution, or nearest it.' This suggests to me that documents such as my UK divorce certificate have to be authenticated by the Philippine embassy in London.
It seems that I may have to schedule an early visit back to UK in order to progress my application, or does anyone know of a better way?
