    Ahhhhh ..if you're planning on submitting your app with an older passport then sure submit a photo copy and note explaining what you're doing. Before Mrs JGM submitted her app she had her new passport issued with her married name though. Seems to me the processing time for the new passport...

    You're going to have to send them the passport so your visa can be stamped with your visa..photo copy won't be any use to them..

    For sure..it's like a sign of life!!! I'm curious if I can ask...did you email them asking about your file or did you contact them by Case Specific Inquiry?? At least they're not ignoring you! If you emailed them...when did you do that?How long did it take them to reply? Thanks!!!

    MAY 2013 PINOY APPLICANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If I understand correctly...our ecas has only ever showed application received..ni mention of medical received.. I asked about it in the English thread on September or October and people there said it sometimes happens.. I think it depends on the VO who updates ecas...or doesn't ever :( We...

    All of our photos were digital...Mrs JGM organized them as Word documents and categorized them as Visit One,Two,Three etc...and captioned each image..it worked for us !! The sequence essentially followed our " story"..

    There's been speculation here in this thread that CEM prioritizes apps belonging to Philipino couples and that mixed race relationships...marriages..have a lower priority and hence have longer processing times.. It is what it is....and from our perspectives is pretty much impossible to prove that..

    More or less yes..there was a second VO opened in Cebu city that deals with TRV and other types of visas maybe.. Time lines? Seemingly it's mostly hit and miss..if you can spare some time read through this entire thread and it'll give you some insight into the recent history of CEM..IT'S A LOT...

    Its a pretty disgusting way to treat people isnt it..there's ZERO respect or dignity offered by our Government in this process and I'm starting to loose patience..like many of us I've always worked, Ive always payed my taxes, and I've never taken from the system more than I was entitled to. Ill...
