Cool Scos! I will have more time tonight
Is it possible to arrange the columns in order of * additional docs * interview * remedical *
That's the order they seem to take, so it will make more sense visually when I fill them out.
I'm horrible at excel!

I feel like I'm getting greedy now, but is there possibly a shade we can use for somebody who we think is an inactive user?

 

[Luckyman]

I'm getting greedy too.. Haha... But can we anchor the column labels?

Don't know if Google format will allow that though.

UPDATE: I noticed the column labels are anchored, so maybe it's just when I access from android....or scos is super quick (Thank you!)

I updated my dates Steph

Cheers!

I'm 35....our plan is to retire in Cebu at 50....then my daughter will be 20, and she'll always have a good place to stay for great vacations.

I've been noticing the php is going slightly up the last year....and general cost in phil is slightly increasing. So It'd be a good idea to buy some land now. Even if you change your mind about location...It'll just increase in value.

Cheers!

We have already started on that and try to aquire 1 property per year until we are ready to pull the plug. Maybe 12 years.

i've been waiting what number CIC will post as waiting time, processing time? whatever, by visa office. by adding seoul batch, it would be longer. just like they did for step 1 for nov files, they may process all files transferred from seoul first, then it will be 15 months.

someone my in-law mother talked recently advised, call the office often like everyday so they get annoyed and process theirs before others. first, we can't get to talk to anyone as their clever machine hangs up on me, second, if we did, they might process before others to reject me.

it's been 6 months since we arrived, i am tired of sitting in the house alone all day.

 

[Luckyman]

Stop calling the office and taking up the visa officers time from processing applications!

LOL. Some guy applied through Hong Kong in November and has already been processed. 4 Months from a visa office who claims their processing time is 13 months.

LOL. Some guy applied through Hong Kong in November and has already been processed. 4 Months forma visa office who claims their processing time is 18 months.

There is one in our February thread who just got her COPR form Paris VO.
Only 2 months!!! : : :

 

[Luckyman]

Hahahaha.....and this is supposed to make us feel better.....how?

just joking....Cheers!

Well, I'm sorry but I guess you're right, it doesn't really help.

I was just replying about CJG's post about the hongkong applicant.

[Dan_from_Surrey]

He doesn't work....he has enough money from a paid off house and rsp's.

Just to note that I'd love to move to phil....and I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I can't leave my daughter. I've had several goood job offers in my travels in Phil.

We'll save it for the retirement plan...haha

That what I keep trying to convince me misses we should do to

My wife and I are thinking along those lines. Though it may take us more like 20 years. But the problem is with land how do you ensure you still own it when you want it. Land rights there are very tricky.

Ok, the columns are re-arranged and the new color for them is (drum roll please).....

Black text on purple!

The old color, white on dark grey can be for inactive. So anything inactive (inactive and denied applications) are white text, everything else is black text.

I also locked the columns on the 2 query sheets, I forgot to do that last time. And 2 applications that haven't been updated in a while I set as inactive.

So time for you to put your investigative skills to work!

 

[scos]

While I was at it I added one more query for meds that have expired. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of medical dates to really show much there but there are some there with no remed requested. Maybe more will become clear as we add those dates.
