hi to all! im new here in the forum and just starting to read up on spousal visa app. it is stated in their website that spousal visa processing takes 1.5 years, is that true? parang ang tagal kasi for spouse. though napansin ko sa mga timelines nyo parang ang bilis. magcivil muna kasi kami so we could apply na then church the following year. may chance kaya na bigla maapprove yung application before the church? exactly one year ang gap between civil and church weddings. we plan to lodge our application as soon as the marriage certificate is released. thanks :)

We are about to get married in December. So I thought why not gather the documents while we are waiting. My questions are:

- if my girlfriend starts gathering documents like NBI Clearance, Medical & Passports before getting married. Can we use those documents in our application? Obviously, the part where it will say "single" and her Maiden name on all the documents will cause some confusion. Anyone have any experience with this?
