I married my wife on May 1, I have been staying here for 3 months so far and I will be staying longer. We have been renting together in Quezon city since I got here. My question is, is it worth trying the DCF route and is it available to me after 6 months of stay? I entered the country on a tourist visa multiple entry.

typically the consulate requires the USC to have more than "tourist" status... you need to ask this of Manila specifically and directly as to what they do

YMMV

I was hoping not to have to go there and deal with the red tape haha I guess I know where I am going tomorrow morning. I'll try to post my results here so other people can use the information.
