reyes888, wala naman siguro kasi wala naman akong na receive na requests for additional tests. I made already 2 follow up letters and both were answered na under review pa daw application namin. I am so desperate in waiting for 6 months already since my medical.

Ano po kaya ang nangyari sa application namin? Anybody who can comfort me? :( :( :(
Hi Barok, sometimes it is not the medical that is problematic, if your DMP did not call for any additional test (Like second x-ray or Blood test), see if they find anything inadmissible doon sa medical mo by this time makita mo na ung rejection... Now most of the delay can be about your background check, You know the check that they do for everything, like if you declaration sa mga bansa na napuntahan mo tama, mag cross reference yan sa lahat ng records (NBI,INTERPOL,FBI at kung ano pang gusto nila). Minsan kasi meron tayo same name sa buong mundo na nasangkot sa mga undesirable activities like terrorism.

Ung letter of inquiry space mo ng kahit every 3months. kung sumagot naman sila at least meron ka evidence na di ka nagpabaya sa application mo.

Head-up one fine day, makareceive ka na rin ng PPR... ;D

Hope to be of helped. :)

i agree. Wla naman ata findings diba? They said its common and its almost normal so no need to tell the DMP about it. Hayaan mo sila makadiscover. I had UTI pero d ko sinabi.. then sa U/a ko clear naman, I believe may history si hubby ng kidney stones nung college xa.. we didn't tell them..then sa exam, lahat normal :)
thanks, imbubbles!

Hi guys, i finally received my 2nd AOR from Manila VO after 4 months of waiting. Have sent my full docs last April and i received an email telling me that my application was temporarily suspended because there are issues to be resolved in my processing fee payment. Hayyyss! I did some inquiries at my bank (PNB) asking for the clearing date of my demand draft, even requested for a scanned copy.
Did some follow ups in Manila VO (naka-2 follow up ako) and in my last one i had attached the scanned copy...

Seems like PNB asks for more requirements from the recipient bank... hayy government bank nga naman! Unlike kung BPI or any other accredited private banks...

Kaya to all those of you who will send demand drafts, choose BPI instead of PNB. ;D para maiwasan ang hazzle. sayang din yung 4 months.. yung mga kasabay ko dito PPR na ata..

Sharing lang..
hi carl...musta..welcome back...natatandaan mo pa ko? ako ung halos kasabay mo timeline....congrats at okay na din at may 2nd AOR ka na...as for us ng CLP ko...pinatawag kami for interview nxt week..nakakatense.. :D...pero sana maging okay din lahat...

God bless!!!

good evening po,

i submitted my app last april to CIO and got my 1st AOR last 30/06. We are currently completing our docs for submission probably by end of this month sa CEM.

Question ko lang po regarding personal history since 18th bday. As indicated on the question na under activity, occupation and ilalagay kung working, then if not e saka ilalagay kung unemployed, travelling,studying etc. What I put only was yung mga occupations ko at the time as well as my employers, then unemployed naman nung naghahanap pa ng work, and student prior to that.

Ang siste kasi e medyo marami akong labas sa bansa, twice as tourist then about 30+ due to the nature ng work ko since 2007. I work as service tech and we constantly travel across asia pacific. Di ko ito nailagay sa form na sinubmit ko sa CIO. But now I think it is relevant para na rin clear sa VO.

What do you guys think is the best way to do it. Gawa na lang ako ng excel then ilagay lahat doon ang in/out based on immigration stamps sa passport?

Also, kelangan din ba kumuha ng PCC kung di naman continuous yung stay ko sa isang bansa, bale max 2 months then bakasyon 1-2 weeks then balik ulit? Overall I've been there for 283days spanning 14 months, all of it on business visa.

Salamat in advance mga kabayan.

hi batang! i think its best to put everything there, lalo na nasa passport mo that u were out the country for a specific period of time. Dont worry because i dont think they'll ask you to secure a PCC, as ive heard only those who stayed in another country for more than 6 months weere asked to provide one :) My agent kasi told me to put everyting, even my vacation for 2 months in baguio. hehe... lalo pag out of the country :)

Hello there , my tanong lng ako sa mga nakaka alam. In relation to inquiry above, Pano kaya dun sa case na over 18 months sa cruise ship. I used to work before as a cruise staff in a luxury ship. Our destination sails Singapore,Thailand, Malaysia. Pano kaya yun..Kasi hindi nman ako land base dun nasa barko naman kami naka tira. Those who had a ship board experience, I hope we dont have to get police clearances from these countries? Just to break it down, 3x times / wk singapore, 2x in malaysia, and 1x in Thailand in a period of 18 months. Thanks forummers. Sana may makapag bigay ng opinion :)

hi imbubbles, thanks for that. san mo nilagay, sa form or gawa lang ng excel. mahaba habang kwentuhan kasi ang summary ko pag nagkataon...

btw, tama ba pagkaintindi ko doon sa rule s na :"have lived for six consecutive months or longer". kasi kada 2 mos. naman e umuuwi ako, then tourist or business visa lang ang gamit at walang work permit sa countries na me project kami; so i don't need to provide na PCC for that, kasi di naman consecutive na 6 months? One case kasi, sa Pakistan, almost 14 months ako pabalik balik na pa 1-2 mos. each stay.

thanks

batang, un alam ko... if u lived there for 6 consecutive months or more. pero its best to wait for others to comment, kasi baka mali ako.. more than a year na kasi yan, although d ka nga nagstay ng tuloy-tuloy.

as for the forms, pinaxerox ko lang.. so parang ilang copies na ganun pero ung area na un lang ang nafi-fill upan :)

Ask ko lang, 2007 pa ung Red Ribbon ng husband ko from CHED, me apply kasi sana sya before di natuloy. Puede ba yon na lang submit nya, or to be sure yung certified true copy from the school na lang pasa nya? He's the principal applicant. Kailangan pa rin ba police clearance bukod sa NBI? Thanks

Hi Floxs, yes of course i remember you! Sobrang busy sa work in the past 4 months kaya bihira maka-visit dito. Ei congrats, good to know interview ka ng and you CLP. Same NOC tayo, right? Good thing nakahabol tayo before magpalit sila ng in-demand occupation list. ;D

Kaya mo yan, sanay na tayo magpaliwanag or mag-explain dahil sa work natin.. :D

Rogue 2578 - Dont worry about PCC on those countries the rules said "have lived for six consecutive months or longer". However on your work experience and whereabouts na forms, fill it up with this information, like aboard "name of the vessel" company name at mga port of call ng vessel. I don't see any problem for PCC kasi di ka naman landbase. unless of course sa second AOR mo ask ang VO mo.

Hope to be of help. ;)
