We just got a response from our MP.... Our medicals are valid, background checks are finalized, fees have been paid all were waiting for is a decision from our Visa officer (which probably might take forever :'( :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:). We were advised to follow-up again on September. I don't know what else they need. This is really getting too frustrating :'( :'( :'( :'( :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Hi emern ano un back from the start ulit? Bat naman ganun sila ano pa ba need natin gawin dito na mga naghihintay...minsan tuloy gusto kong maniwala na sa mga sinasabi ng iba na once pinataggal ka at alam ng lahat na wala magiging problema sila ang gagawa because they need something...hay naku...so worried na din tuloy sa application ko...

Konting tiis pa emrn. Ang tagal na ng pinaghintay mo, konting konti na lang... Mabusisi lang talaga sila sa conjugal relationship. Nabasa ko kasi meron kang 3 kids and hindi ka pa legally separated or annuled from your ex-hubby. Baka yung situation na yun ang nagcause ng delay. Mas mabuti pa nga minsan na ma-interview ang mga applicants para mas malinawan ang VO tapos same day makukuha mo na rin visa mo. Anyway, basta keep the faith. Darating din yan emrn.

having an atty is no guarantee that it will speed things up, they actually don't advise it as this will just be a waste of money and there are a lot of immigration lawyers that can really take advantage. That is the reason we sought the help of our MP kasi we know that they wont take advantage of us and it is for free, somehow our MP is doing a good job with us if not for them di namin malalaman na na misplaced yung medicals namin, and di din namin malalaman anong standing namin sa app. So far ang laki ng tulong nila sa amin.

sis yan din ang lawyer na kinuha ng friend ko na si brianmich tingnan mo nangyari sa kanya. Actually what our MP did was inquire on our behalf about our app kaya nalaman namin status namin, iba-iba kasi ang mga MP sis pero usually they dont step in until 12months na. I know sis mahirap talaga ako nga mag-isa lang ako dito sa condo, wala akong work puro nasa utak ko yung application na yan iyak ako ng iyak na para akong baliw. Kung saan-saan na ako ngpupunta para mgnovena. Ultimo mga crystals pinatulan ko na (yeah what boredom can do to u ::) :-[ :-[ :-[) Kami din ng hubby ko umiiyak kami kasi ang hirap talaga ng ginagawa nila sa atin. At ang unfair pa na yung mga 2012 applicants ngkavisa na. Did u try ordering CAIPS-GCMS notes para kahit paano magkaroon kayo ng details sa app nyo pero 4 weeks din yan eh. Sa totoo lang sis they really dont recommend a lawyer but if u think its worth a shot and u can afford it, u can give it a try.
