Hello, I hope someone here has gone through this and can help give some insight on the subject.
My fiancee in the Philippines just went through the court process of correcting her BC. The judge ruled in her favor on July 3rd. My fiancée received the court ruling in her mailbox on July 10th. She was told all other parties with involvement of the case must be notified, before they can produce the certificate of finality. As of today August 20th, her lawyer said he filed for the certificate of finality this morning and the judge told him they want to make sure that the case does not get appealed from the OSG. We are confused about this because as he stated and as Philippine law states, if I’m not mistaken, is that the standard waiting period is 15 days and it’s been almost 2 months already......
So if anyone could please help Shed some light on this for us we would appreciate hearing about your experience. Through this entire process we have been told one thing from the lawyer or people in the court only to hear another and have to endure more waiting time. It’s very frustrating for both of us.
So really my ultimate question is....
if anyone has gone through this process recently or a similar one, how long did it take from the time your lawyer filed for the certificate of finality, until you actually received the certificate of finality?
We can’t wait to get this process done. Once we receive the certificate of finality, then we need to wait on the PSA process to release the annotated BC. Does anyone know how long that usually takes after the LCR sends it LBC to the PSA in Manila. I only see that in old posts on here and I see anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. BTW, we will have inside help at the LCR and the PSA from a friend once we send the documents there.
Please if anyone has answers on this we would appreciate your response. Our NOA 2 was April 26th and we are still waiting on this court process to complete, that was started last August already 😢
