Is your wife okay with that ??? Anyways, you applied a full 4 months after me, and though my timeline is pretty long it's still within processing time. Give it a bit longer, don't you think she's worth the wait?

Busy weekend guys.. with the spreadsheet ??? :-\ :-X Thanks to whoever was also adding the medical data.. I just have a few months to do tonight after a busy day. I will see what updates we have for last week.. stay tuned :p :p :p :p :p :p

Way too soon to pull the plug. We all want our applications to get processed but I'm not willing to give up my marriage for the sake of 4 or 5 months. Hang in there.

I won't tell you (gortandmugs) how to run your lives, but I would have to chime in as well. Way to soon, (I.M.H.O.) my wife and I are at 22 months, not all to do with C.I.C., we also got screwed around with the Phils Gov. but now, at the 7 month point we optimistic and still hopeful that our saga will soon be over, this close to the finish line, not the time for even thinking about throwing in the towel.

Bear in mind though, the thought of wrapping a few cans up in that towel and giving a few people a smack with it has crossed my mind a time or two :) .... and hasn't been completely ruled out should something else run afoul.

Okay Manila.. good morning to all you Roosters out there :p :p :p

It's another week and I hope all the Visa officers had a nice relaxing weekend enjoying the ambience of the city ::) Who knows, maybe they went to Ocean Park.. or ice Skating in the SM. Maybe they celebrated a birthday in Jollibee or Shakeys.. maybe they walked the waterfront at MOA or went to the Marikina Shoe Museum! Maybe they went to cockfights, church, or sat under the neighbour's tree gossiping. Maybe they have their own relationships to worry about. Haha. Whatever it was I hope they are all rested up - they deserve it after such a busy week last week!

Also a belated happy birthday to Iay who turned 19 last week ;D

For anybody who's reading.. please help us update your medical details on the spreadsheet.. yes this means you! Me and Scos and some other anonymous spreadsheet fairies have been trying to get a nice accumulation of data to help better understand the process - and it's really coming clear! It is starting to look like quite a simple process. :-X We are also hoping the data will help us understand why some applicants are being processed very quickly.. this week saw the first PPR of December, which didn't make a lot of sense, but the November PPR it's clear that the person's medical will expire very soon.. with more data we can understand it a bit better.
