Well its now official. My wife just got her PPR and Appendix A and waived interview. She also did her abbreviated medical. The visit with the panel physician took about 20 minutes but the wait to get the x-ray took all day.

Now we wait for the COPR.

Rough Weekly Averages:

Monday 2 PPR's, .5DM, 1.5 visas,
Tuesday 1PPR, 1DM .5 Visa
Wednesday 1PPR, 1DM, .5Visa
Thursday 2PPR, 1DM, 2 Visa
Friday 1PPR, 1DM, 1 Visa

Interesting.. almost one per day.

I am really curious to see what volume they actually do at the CEM.

I thought Scos said once that we represent 10% of the volume in Manila.

Thanks everybody.

Steph do you mean the people on the forum represent 10% of the Manila volume?

Yeah, I think I saw him say that.. I guess you can just look at the official data from manila and compare it to how many people are on the spreadsheet

Yes that's correct, forum members represent roughly 10 to 14% depending on the month.

So on an average day they would do 10 PPR's and on a Monday or Thursday they would do 20.

I'm curious to see how the re-meds are being done, from the data, roughly month and a half from re-med to decision made (of course that depends on the actual medical date)

Based on that, users than should expect some activity are:
april20
spmorty
joreen
comarxx
simatar
NestleAducal

Mind you, some of the above also have additional docs requested that could be holding things up.

Also, We should be due for GCMS this week, as we applied on Apr. 10, as well as an email to cem medical processing department on Wednesday to maybe offer a nudge.

Cheers!
