Hi po...
My app was for FSW NOC38 so am not sure if the statements inside my ecas link would apply to you guys too. Ganito kasi sya noon when I didn't get the MR yet, just submitted the full docs to CEM. This was what's indicated inside the IN PROCESS link once clicked:
"We received your application for permanent residence on mmddyyyy.
We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on mmddyyyy. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
Your application and supporting documents were received by the Manila office. They are pending review.
We transferred your application to the Manila office on mmddyyyy. The Manila office may contact you."
And then nung malapit na MR ko or nung dumating sya and I checked the ecas again, nadagdagan the above statements with this:
"Your application was reviewed and we started processing on mmddyyyy".
And this to me meant the distinction between the page stating "....pending review" and then later adding "...was reviewed and we started processing on mmddyyyy" was that in the latter, the CEM V.O. has started analyzing/verifying your docs to make the MR (congrats, you passed) or DM (rejection at this stage) decision on your app, not just received/opened them and set aside on his workload queue for review (hence "pending review").
Then less than two weeks after the date stated in that latter sentence, I received the MR via snail mail.
But since nag-change ng FSW1 policy si CIC, so I don't know if ganon pa rin internal process in CEM. If it doesn't apply pala, then ignore my input. Lol!
