Hello sir ragluf and seniors hope you can help me what to do. Here's the story, I'm the principal applicant. My eldest son adopted by my 2nd husband, and we have the decision and finality from the court. We are on the stage of changing his surname in manila city hall. They will issue a new birth cert. it will take a month so by jan. 2014 and then we will register in NSO it will take a month again before we can get it. By that time we will inform the embassy together with the copy of new birth cert. Today we got our PPR, do we need to inform the embassy? If we do, it will cause the delay in issuance of our visas. And we don't have the new birth cert yet. My sponsor said that it is easy to change it in Canada. Here some part of the letter we received today.
