Step 5 2:45pm
Releasing
The Filipino guy on this window was so nice (everyone else are not.. IDK why)
Looked at my documents and gave me my NBI personal copy and told me "Maam that will be the last document that you will have here in the PH, thats your remembrance" We dont need anymore documents from you congratulations you may go to Window 68.
Window 68- 2Go 2:55pm
Asked me if i already filled up a form for delivery, i said is the traveldocs information the i filed the same? Then he said yes maam so you're good to go. Just a reminder once your case stated issued on Ceac on the morning you can pick it up in the noon.
Over all my journey to this interview is very long and exhausting. But if i had to do it again i will coz its all worth it! Im gonna be with my husband soon!
