jho,
i agree with imbubbles.... jho pls ask the studio if they had a client who requested the same specifications as the ones requested by the VO. if not, just give them the copy. most professional photographers know what to do with pictures for immigration so u dnt have to worry. and yes, we had our shots taken using a digital cam....

Para sure, bigay ka nalang ng cenomar. Wala nakasabi sa checklist, but, meh konting mention about cenomar, not specifically asking for it though.

It's in a note on section 2. It says something like "birth, marriage, death and no record of previous marriage certificates must be issue by NSO". So baka kailangan na. Ang previous version nung checklist ng manila, wala kasi ganun.

since kukuha ka ng birth certificate sa NSO isabay mo na cenomar.. before June 26 "for all cases" required ang cenomar; i suggest na be on the safe side submit kahit di naka specify for single.. kung kulang docs ang laking delay sa application; goodluck :D
