Manila Office On Strike

[cherryB]

Just a question..with the on going strike..can we contact the visa office to make follow up if let's say it passed the processing time for our application. It say's on one site that " the current processing item does not take in to account because of this strike" or maybe i understood wrong? any idea...

I would go ahead and follow up. There are still some people working, someone got their PPR on Monday when they were in full strike mode.

They may just give you a generic 'times are taking longer due to the strike' answer, but it doesn't hurt to ask. You can always contact your local MP and have them do it for you as well, put a bug in his ear that this strike is affecting their constituents.

Contacting your MP may be the best bet right now, I just did that yesterday, after several attempts to get an answer from CEM (well before this final job action) they seem to be very hit and miss with responding.

Be persistent with your MP. Remember they work for you.
