Update!!
After travelling to Cebu to attend the pre-departure counselling my wife went to apply for her new passport in her married name only to be told that she could no longer process her passport there. She had then to go to Cagayan do Oro to make her application. This takes 3 weeks plus so she should now return on 28th to collect it.
In the meantime i sent my latest pay slips, flight stubs from my last trip to see her (mid March). It's now 4 weeks since I posted them along with my latest bank statements and they still have not arrived.
We are planning to file her application online on her return to Surigao. It is likely that when she receives her interview date she will travel to Manila with her mother and stay undertaking all the other required activities until such time as her visa is granted.
More updates to follow. Please keep us in your prayers. God bless you all!
