My wife is in Marinduque for the weekend and texted me that CEM contacted her by phone concerning her medical. Her texting is limited so I didn't get any other news than that. I wonder if CEM have received it? Its been 20 days since she had it done. No word from the doctor that there was any medical issues.

Back to stressing out again.

This is what I would do: Call the clinic where she had her medical and make sure her medical was clear. Get this info to send in an email to CEM
- the day the Medical was done
- the day it was forwarded to CEM
- of course send all relevant contact info F000XX

CEM also called my partner asking if he did his medical because they claimed not to have received it yet - but they did. Including the date of transfer can help them look it up. They found it a week later. I'm predicting DM for you in June!

Question for you guys: When Manila requests the passport, do you have to send the original or can you send a copy? I read somewhere that you can send a copy as long as you copy every page.

If you're a Philippine applicant then yes, you have to send the real thing. Not sure for applicants from Japan or other places.

Yeah but Japan is a Visa-Exempt country. I don't think the visa exempt countries have to send actual passports.

10-4,,,,,,,,,,,,but wouldnt they been asked for a copy in the application,,,,why would they want another copy,,,,,i would think they would stamp them in all the passports when you enter a country with a visa exempt passport,,,, they stamp it and include the date you must leave,,,,,no reason for the japanese to have to carry another piece of identification
