In truth, they should just accept the affidavit from our embassy without red ribbon because it's already an attestation that the affiant is here in Doha, Qatar. That's what the affidavit is for - to attest that somebody from Qatar - a legal resident with enough income is able to support a visitor. That is why I don't understand if it's really the correct procedure to have the document red ribboned by DFA in Manila. for DFA to attest that the signatory in the affidavit is the authorized signatory in Qatar? Isn't it that in this document the signature bearing more weight is that of the affiant and our embassy is just attesting that he/she is indeed here in qatar? wheeeeewww!!!!!
