I'm just posting this to see how people are doing with their visa applications during the busy Summer season and given that the Embassy relocated offices last week. My wife submitted her spouse visa application on 20th June 2008 and she is staying with family near Manila, partly because she anxious about travelling on ferry boats to Romblon even at the best of times.

So it is a tough time waiting especially as I had to fly back to London 3 days after the wedding. Well we did have a sort of mooneyhun before the wedding.

My sympathy to all of you whose boat is becalmed. My thanks to the many experts who have been through the process and who continue to post in such a generous manner.
