Well it looks like you had your medicals done approx two months in advance...which is the same as my case, so I'm sure they will have no problem associating the medicals with your file!

YEEEESSS! that's great new, mabrouk wargo, it's so nice to hear that you finally received the letter, I'm glad it didn't get lost in the long way! so you were approved quite early in the process, which means that your file has been in Cairo for over a month now, which is great! I wish you a smooth processing for stage 2 and I hope that from now on they will only communicate with you by email it would make the whole communication much easier!

Congratulations again! and enjoy!

I only have four days left on my work visa, and I'm still waiting for a response to my application to change status to visitor (and extend my stay). Has anybody been through a similar process recently?

They don't send AOR's for this anymore, and it can take a while for it to be processed. I remember you saying you sent it in ages ago so you could always call them just to make sure it was received. I have never had any problems getting through on the phone when you go through the foreign worker menu.

Congratulations to all who received approvals, AORs, etc...

I haven't posted in this thread in quite some time. Still no updates for my wife. We received the AOR from HK, but since then, no word and ecas hasn't changed - still shows application received on April 13. I wonder what they're doing?? Have they opened our application and put us in the line? I'm going to wait another month or so and then send an e-mail to find out what they're doing...

Good luck to all and let's hope the second stage doesn't drag on and on...

Hey fireluck,

Unless you have something that makes you not suitable for sponsorship ( criminal background etc), they won't deny you - they might ask for more proofs if they are not convinced on something, but normally you will be given the possibility to explain. So you will be fine!

Manilla is a fast VO! average is 8 months, but quite a few applicants get done before that - if you look at the spreadsheet for Manilla for feb 12, you'll see that some are already done ( and that's with a 3 months in stage 1), quite a few already had their passports requested etc... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuGhbUWUr3G8dGV5dU94aTMzdnZvdnZSWmY0RkVlR3c#gid=0

Good luck with waiting,
Sweden

Based on data I have found on forum spreadsheets, I am seeing a majority of 3 - 5 months from the MNL VO after Sponsorship Approval.
