AUGUST 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[Ellazizi]

Hi everyone, I got the mail from our immigration lawyer as regards the update on my application. I find it kind of confusing. Can someone please explain to me in clear terms what they mean because my blond roots are beginning to surface. But I think it has to do with payment for the right to become a permanent resident but I don’t know if my passport is included. I’m just going to copy the mail forwarded by our lawyer.

Ø RPRF: Pay the Right of Permanent Residence fee

If you're paying a lawyer, that money should include them explaining to you what these letters mean.

At any rate, it's simple: when you applied, there were various fees (biometric, etc). Some of those you had to pay right away, others you had the option of paying later.

The Right of Permanent Residence fee is a separate fee which now you must pay.

That's it, pretty simple. You can pay it online.

Yes we hired a lawyer but he’s the reason I’m still stuck here. He took almost a year to do background check on my hubby and I before submitting our application. So basically he was trying do the job of the immigration, knowing fully that’s the Job of the immigration, wasted our time! we had to called him several times this week plus mails before he finally responded that he’ll track the mail.
He told my hubby I can travel once the fee is paid without passport request.
I told my hubby that doesn’t sound right. Which is why I brought it here.
So apparently it means my application has been approved but We need to pay this fee which the lawyer should have paid from the get go.

I would have removed him a long time ago. I believe you can call and ask you have a right to your file. You will still have to pay the fee. Be careful who you hire to do these things. Most people do not use lawyers unless the situation is complicated. If you want to fight it out with your lawyer you'll take longer. You only have 30 days from the letter to satisfy the requirement. Good luck

I know right. He’s seem retarded that’s all I can say now. But my real question is how to pay this fee. Should I go to the VFS office or pay online or should my hubby do the payment over there?
I’m scared if we send the money to the lawyer, he’ll delay and everything will go awry.

You can simply pay it online and raise a webform. Theres an option to attach documents with it and you will be good to go.

Hard to say but since VFS is open in MNL and Cebu and MVO is operating I would guess not more than a couple weeks, could be longer since the courier companies are not operating at normal delivery times. Congratulations.
