I called the embassy today and they told me that last week they sent me a letter asking for more documents through the postal service here in the Philippines. I was wondering how long it would take to get to me in Quezon province. My mom said that it takes 1 month through registered mail. Is that true? They told me what documents I needed to send them when I called. Should I just send them what I can even though I haven't received the letter yet? If it will take 1 month to get to me I don't know if I can wait that long. We have waited long enough already. If anyone here can show us a sample letter of what to expect and tell us how long it took for their letter to arrive, I would really appreciate it.

If you send the requested documents before receiving the request letter from the embassy make sure to have the MNL # on a cover letter with the documents at the very least, hate for them to get mis-filed.

I hear nothing but horror stories regarding the postal service in the Philippines.

I've experienced that. Dont wait for the letter. :) Coz probably no letter will arrive. :( Just send what documents they want. Go to 2go, indicate your manila case number on the cover letter and the documents u are sending..that's what I did. :)

Goodluck :)
