Hi everyone. we also applied under old system. we submitted our application last oct 2004 and god a reply from the embassy on FEb 2005. last 2008, we got a letter if we are still interested with our application or would like to withdraw it. of course we are interested thus we did not reply to the said letter. February 2010, we got another letter informing us to send the updated documents: application, proof of funds, payment for right of permanent residence fee. we did send those documents and sometime may of 2010, we received the request for medical and did it last june. Now, we are waiting for the outcome of the said request. Hopefully, we'll get the PPR(passport request) soon.. So, to all of you who are still waiting, don't worry.. it will come. it takes a lot of patience. Let us always hope and pray for the good news! God bless..
