I am soo relieved after this long Journey. Praise God for it!!! Thank you again to everyone who has helped me through this website; the information and the encouragements have all been appreciated!

In her interview they took the originals of the NBI, BC, and CENOMAR. They would not accept photo copies. The issue is...Her CFO is scheduled for the 27th. Should I reschedule or is it possible to obtain an original copy on short notice while out of town in Manila??

I am not sure about Manila but Roxan was able to get CENOMAR, BC, and NBI all in the same day in Dipolog. But then again she got there at 3am to get in line)))

Where did she go? A PSA service center? I was thinking we had to order them, but It would be easy if we can just got pick them up.

Yes, PSA for BC and CENOMAR and well....NBI for the NBI))) In Dipolog they are right across the street from one another...

Congrats!

 

No surprise with the embassy keeping the originals of the NBI, BC & CENOMAR 

 

CFO  doesn't want an NBI, but they do want copies of the PSA birth certificate and CENOMAR < you can get both of those the same day at many PSA locations.    Only reasons some bring the personal copy of the NBI is that it can be used as a  picture ID.

I went to Dipolog last year. Long tricycle ride from Lopez Jaena. Seemed fine to me. Walked about town a little bit, then took the ferry to Dumaguete.

What is your opinon

It is my favorite city in the Philippines...It is small enough to get around in easily. Has all the amenities I need...small mall, McDonalds and Jollibees))) . It has the best and most vibrant ocean front boardwalk I have seen there. I am the kind of traveller who likes to spend time with the people who live there. I don't understand why people travel to a place and spend all of their time there in a mall or a hotel or various cherry picked and overpriced tourists spots. To be honest you can keep Manila and Cebu, though I do like Mactan's new terminal.

 

As far as safety is concerned I have never had a problem in Dipolog.  I prefer it to the constant begging and badgering for money or services I get in Manila and to a lesser degree in Cebu. 

 

I told my adult sons if something happens to me in my travels that they would know I went out doing what I wanted to do😄

Hi there, just wondering if your fiance got her passport and Visa already.

Its 5 to 10 days after the interview so it is impossible for yesterday's approvals to have received it already

Oh ok, that's what I've thought too. I guess they might consider rescheduling for the CFO, but I'm hoping they will receive it soon so they dont have to reschedule.
