@ nebz, Good day!!!
Bro, you mean to say, you have the LMO already but have not applied yet for the renewal of WP since your existing WP will expire next year pa, March 22, 2012? Correct me if I'm wrong....Also, when do you plan to apply for your WP's renewal?
Bro, the SOWP will be based on the expiry of your WP. Tama si Ailooney, less than 6 months nalang ang validity ng existing WP mo kaya if wala kang application for renewal, wala ka din maaattach na letter of explanation (with proof of WP renewal like yun mail courier receipt na ipinapadala sa CPC-Vegreville at may tracking number) kasi LMO palang hawak mo... If however, may application for renewal ka naman, you have to check and assess your timelines because the processing times for the renewal of WP is 103 days (paper application) from receipt of your application by the CPC.. If mag-apply agad ng SOWP wife mo soon, 2.5 to 3 months lang ang processing kaya most probably wala pa yun renewed WP mo. Mag-online renewal application kaw ng WP instead na paper (same employer). I suggest mag-apply si wifey mo ng mga one month before you expect to receive your new WP...That's what I intend to do, and I hope maging okay ang application namin... Joychel had the similar experience (see page 50).. Yun yung tingin kong option na available for you, medyo konting hintay nga lang talaga..
As to your marital status in LMO, I see no problem with that because as you said October 25 palang kayo kinasal. At the time your employer applied for your LMO, single ka pa naman talaga diba.. Pag nagapply ka nalang, maglagay ka nalang ng letter of explanation though ala na ngayong nakalagay na details ng TFW sa LMO due to Privacy Act, baka kasi ma-view pa rin nila info mo through the LMO confirmation number. Pero I think ang basis ng VO would be the documents to be submitted by your wife like marriage cert, CENOMAR, proof of relationship like photos, remittances, etc to prove na hindi mail-to-order-bride thing....
Don't you worry, palagi mo mababasa dito sa forum, He will grant your visa in His perfect time... Keep on praying. Malay mo may mga dumating ka pang options.. God bless... Good luck!!
