Having satisfied ourselves that the current fee for Marriage or Settlement VISAs is 43,775 pesos:

it was very disconcerting to find that when Sofi printed her online application the fee stated clearly at the top was 42,000 pesos.
Now, it's obvious that the fee has been altered to 43,775 as of the 1st April but the online form has not been updated. But beaurocrats being what they are there is probably a risk that someone will say 'well, the fee at the top of the form is 42,000, so that is what must be paid'. That is what the teller at the bank seemed to imply.
The implication of getting it wrong for them is 'zero' but as you know for us it means we lose the money and add further to the delay in being together.
Calls and emails to the Embassy and the UK Visa office have not been answered.
What are your thoughts about this please?
