Jim the process is the same,  "Eves" letter should state that she is applying for your Upgrade tp permanent and you are still living together as man and wife. You will need a new NBI clearance. BTW now is the time to do it mate

According to the Philippines embassy website that is no longer the case. Their website is down at the moment so I can't link to the relevant section but it seems to have changed.

Thanks - I'm relieved I got mine before the change. Saved a lot of time and money by going through the process just once in Hong Kong.

Here is the section from the Philippines embassy London.

The non-quota immigrant visa is initially a single entry visa, valid for one (1) year, which should be renewed in the Philippines for three (3) consecutive years. On the fourth year, the applicant may apply for permanent residence in the Philippines

For a 13a, the applicant must be married to a Filipino, The OP is already a Provisional Resident, he is wanting to upgrade to a Permanent

Ah got the wrong quote, should have been hk blues. The 13a is the non-quota visa.

I've got my application documents ready.  Need to have joint affidavit notarized, but due to current habagat (monsoon) rains, I can't get to Angeles BI office due to flooding around Pampanga and region.  I still have until August 10th before my current status expires.  I would think if things don't improve before then, they would make an exception due to numerous states of calamities declared.

Did they tell you it had to be notarized?  We didn't have ours notarized for Balanga.  However, we had to make a new letter because it needed to addressed to the commissioner AND the Balanga lawyer heading that office.  We had that done across the street but still it was not notarized.

Raining cats and dogs here too!
