Its strange how the same department or authority but located in different branches has different procedures. When I was in Damansara making enquiries, I did see a checklist on the notice boards and after talking to a guy that married a Filipino as well .... well, I found out more information.
Example ... for application of a social visit pass at the Damansara office, you will need to produce among other documents ... your wedding photograph and also your wedding invitation card.
Now, at Shah Alam, you are also required to produce your wedding photograph but you don't have to submit your wedding invitation card.
The thing is, according to the guy I was talking to ... it was really tough for him when he was making all the applications for his wifey's social visit pass. On first application, they only gave his wifey a 3 months pass. On 1st extension, its another 3 months pass. On 2nd extension, its 6 months pass. On 3rd Extension, another 6 months pass. And on 4th extension onwards, they gave a yearly pass.
And to make things worse for him, for each application for extension, he was told to submit the same documents that he submitted previously. The same documents, copies of marriage cert, wedding photograph etc etc. He just couldn't understand why he has to submit the same things over and over again. Poor guy.
I hope I will have an easier time ....
