Hey guys, I'm still waiting to hear from the Embassy after my medicals have been submitted to the embassy last Nov. 17, 2014. When I applied (paper based) last Oct. 30, 2014, the processing time for the Manila office was listed at 13 weeks at the CIC site. I randomly checked back, and now it seems they updated the times last Nov. 14, 2014 and changed it to 15 weeks. If this is true, I would be hearing from them only on the 1st- 2nd week of February. By then, it'll be a full month from when my classes begin (Jan 5, 2015).
Can I ask, for those who applied and those who had submitted their medicals on and after Nov. 14, 2014, have you heard from the Embassy? Do you have any updates on your application? I just want to see if we're all affected (so to speak) by the new 15 week processing time.
I wish we could contact the embassy directly, but even if we did, I have a feeling we would be denied of any info, especially since our papers are still within the "normal" 15 week processing time.
