Congratulations!!!
My wife should have been there too, haven't heard from her yet. I heard through a family member she has left Manila already and is on her way back home. She is going to be very tired...She traveled all night Wednesday to arrive for Thursday and now traveling all night Thursday to arrive Friday back home. Appreciate all she does for us.!!

Curious on the process in person... How was it?

Thanks! Your wife probably got her visa too. Hubby said it wasnt that bad. He was there early for his 8am appt. Filled out some forms. They said they cant wait inside the embassy and asked him to go back to cem at 3pm for the release of his passport with visa.

Thank you!!! yes sooooo happy the wait is almost over!! I think what helped us out was my wife being in the Philippines for a visit and unable to send her passport to CEM because of her return flight at the end of this month back to Thailand. Of course CEM was made well aware of the coming situation by me emailing them a couple of times. Thanks for the well wishes!

Chris.

There are plenty of Manila threads, but all in Tagalog, so I thought we need to start one in English for those of us who can't participate - for example, Canadian spouses of Filipinos, or applicants from Japan and other countries that are processed though Manila.
