Guys, I am positive that they are working on our applications. I sent my papers in in June 2010 and I was able to log in to eCas about 2 weeks ago. Today I logged in and they just added my home and mailing addresses onto my file. So they are working on updating things for sure. Let's hope we get some actual updates on wednesday. Good night everyone!:)
It happen the same to me, they added my addresses. I am also positive and hopefully they suddenly change all the dates.
Can I ask you when did they get your application? and When does it say they start to processing your application?
Did you have only one employer? Good luck!

Hmmm then maybe they put it on everyone's? I sent my application in in June 2010, they got it in 3 days or so and started processing Sept 8th.
 
@bbgliz- i just had olny one employer? why are you asking?

@ Rosellyalung. I heard it is faster when we have one employer but I don't know. you know everybody says different things.
@ AgiHun We have the same date. good luck!
 
@bbgliz-nice one thing to know so that we will be inspired to wait! god bless

I heard that too, they say you submit one more piece of paper , it would take CIC longer time to investigate it.
I don't care the processing time now , because too many applications in line and more and more . I just hope we could do a good job and hopefully cic would give us a surprise when they hear our voice, give us the status immediately as soon as we finish our program or the MPs and the just lawyer and the Philippine organizations could help us to work it out .
Thinking about to contact the lawyer now.
I would like to say sorry to AgiHun , when I see people still care about where they are in the process, I am little fussy. Sorry AgiHun , if I were you , I would do the same . Good luck to everyone.
 
@ying888-ok try showing the letter that we have in the facebook to the lawyer that you know that would really help
 
Let us hope and pray that we will all have a smile on our faces tomorrow when we check the website!!!! :)
 
(sigh) no changes for today i think..
