Hi Che! My current status in E-cas i- " Application Received ". I havent heard anything from them yet, still waiting.
My understanding is that my lawyer submitted my full application to CIC-MANILA around first week of April. Almost 2 months now and have not heard from them yet.

reydon,
don't worry, your AOR is coming anytime soon.
the manila office takes more than a month to open the documents we send.
i sent my full application march 27. they acknowledged receipt on may 14 and took another week for the AOR to arrive to my address.

kabayans thanks for sharing all your stories.....it is really helpful to have this forum.....

BTW...guys london office doesnt specifically mention Certificate of No Marriage, only birth certificate.....what do you think? do i need to include that in my full apli? i still dont have the CENOMAR with me...

another question....did you submit the original NSO authenticated birth certi or only notarized photocopies?

im still trying to get hold of my police clearances here in KSA and Qatar....and they are not easy to obtain....hope i could get it soonest....

Thank you!!!!!!!
Hello Jhun, instructions are quite specific that non-native English speakers take the IELTS. I suggest you take it. There is a thread on trackitt.com regarding an applicant who did not submit IELTS and was assigned 0 points for language ability. The applicant was just a few points short of 67 and since he got zero for language, his application was denied. I just cannot find the thread anymore but that thread was very compelling. It's totally up to you, but if I were you, take it. Unless of course you are able to calculate that even with 0 for language, you will score at least 67.

Good luck to you.
