hi Grace, thanks for the infos! well u know I agree with you. staffs in manila embassy are not that great, i prefer cebu eventhough i actually applied in manila. i remember before when i called the embassy in manila to inquire about the tourist visa i was so upset because the girl who answered the phone intimidated me. i couldnt get enough information from her, so I asked my fiancee to call them and he told me that they were so nice to him( which i find it unfair). i tried calling cebu and they were so accomodating. so from then on, whenever i have inquiries i called embassy cebu instead rather than calling manila. i met someone from the cfo seminar and she told me that when she applied in manila embassy there were lots of girls who were discriminated by the staffs there esp those girls who doesnt look appealing to them. When I told my fiancee about it he even felt bad. I dont think norwegians would like their girls to be treated like that. so whenever I go there, I make sure I look good in front of them so I wont get intimidated and I also make sure I have all the requirements on hand and it actually worked.
right now my papers are also in norway and actually with the police. they will interview him one of these days maybe. so I hope everything will just go smooth.
and thanks for telling me that you know someone who got her visa in 5 monthsI miss being with my honey so I wish I can go back there soon. Its been couple of years already since we had been keeping up with this long distance relationship and I think we deserve to be together forever.
yeah, good luck to both of us and to all those who are also waiting for their visa
