MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Australian nun Patricia Anne Fox on Monday asked the Bureau of Immigration (BI) to reverse its decision rejecting her request for the renewal of her missionary.<\/p>\n

In a six-page motion for reconsideration, the Catholic nun’s camp argued that contrary to the ruling of the BI, the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) it has entered into with the Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on November 10, 1997, did not preclude the extension or renewal of the missionary visa for another 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, when on September 5, 2014, the BI approved the conversion of Sister Fox\u2019s tourist visa into a missionary visa, she was given a new or a fresh period of ten (10) years from the said date or until 2014 to stay in the country,\u201d Fox’s camp said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut she needs to re-apply every two or three years after the date of the grant. This was for which reason that on July 21, 2016, the BI issued an order granting the extension of Sister Fox\u2019s Commonwealth Act 613, Sec. 9(g) (missionary) visa from September 5, 2016 to September 5, 2018,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the group noted the deportation order against Fox is not yet final and executory as the same is under appeal with the Department of Justice (DOJ).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision to grant or deny the application for extension or renewal of her missionary visa should not be based and hinge on the order of deportation,\u201d the MR said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd even Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said that the decision of the BI whether to extend her missionary visa will be \u201cwithout prejudice to the resolution of her appeal,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

Last week, the BI denied the request of Fox to extend her missionary visa, citing the MOA with the CBCP wherein foreign missionaries are allowed to stay in the country for only ten years.<\/p>\n
