hi everyone, would you mind sharing how you received correspondence for passport request or additional request from CEM? Did you get the requests via email or snail mail? thanks!

scos, can I request a column to be added for that in the Manila spreadsheet just to see the stats. thanks a lot!

There was an older spreadsheet that had such a column. I didn't put one in because it was pretty much a waste of space. Every app on the sheet said "e-mail". And where it didn't there wasn't anything at all (or a date was there instead).

that implies the embassy uses emails frequently then. exactly my preference. thanks, scos!

HERE JEEPGUY a final cleaning tip,,, CLEAN YOUR MATTRESS:
Pour about 1 cup of baking soda into a Mason jar & drop in 4 drops of lavender essential oil. Put on lid & shake jar. Using a kitchen strainer, sprinkle the baking soda mixture all over the mattress & let it sit for an hour or more. Thoroughly vacuum the mattress. Bye, bye dust mites, & other nasty things. The baking soda helps draw up any moisture & deep dirtiness. It deodorizes & leaves the mattress smelling fresh & clean.

Tagum, what da F000K 8)

Ya. I think we will all experience some personal problems as things try to get settled. These are big changes to make for everybody especially if money is tight.

That would be a bigger problem then just getting settled.

The person immigrating really has to reinvent themselves from scratch. Whether they want to or not. This is really a tall order.

He's having a great time. Scaring me shitless driving my car. Got a job already, evenings in a Bakery. Enjoying all our nice food that he can't enjoy at home. Only complaint is the house is so boring when I'm at work.
