Manila Tread for English Speakers - join here!

Thanks Sweden! Then I will be able to send more docs using my UCI and File Number. I'll just wait till my ECAS says oue file has been transfered to Manila.

I don't think your Ecas will ever say that - mine didn't. It takes them awhile to open and process mail. I think you will be okay.

Oh i see. I thought ECAS updates that coz I saw some have a specific date on a file transfer. I know Manila doesn't usually give AOR from VO but some knew the exact date it was transfered. Anyway, il prolly wait for a month or two then il send the additional docs.

 

[Luckyman]

On a lighter note.... I'm sitting right next to my wife in masbate city... YAY!

!

 

[Sweden]

Sweden, did they give you a confirmation that they received and matched the additional docs that you submitted?

no - they didn't. I sent them with registered mail so I knew it had been delivered, but that was it. I sent a case-specific enquiry to London to ask to confirm they had received the documents, and they never answered...

I read that in other VOs, people were able to drop off additional requirements themselves without having to use a courier. Do you think this is possible?

Anyone in Manila VO has done this?

Okay here's some predictions for next week, drawn by a magical fighting cock that is tied to my teepee outside.

PPR's for curious0027 (july), real (june) and Mapol, april20 and Neadesiree (May) and CoCo09 (April)

I will also predict that there will be a first August applicant to get a PPR.. elayam0416 or augustrush.

Any more predictions guys?

I just want to crow, that all the predictions of my magical rooster came true! Except for Real's PPR.. come on buddy, I don't want to have to make Rooster Stew! Friday is not over yet!

Hey Luckyman, how's the weather over there? 8)

edit: oops, I forgot, Mapol also needs a PPR to save my rooster from the stew pot.. I'm starting to smell adobo!

edit again: Looks like Mapol hasn't logged in since August! Now there' somebody who's playing it cool. My apologies to Sir Rooster..

Nice predictions Steph.

I predict that these people will get PPR next week:

(May) Mapol, Nestle Aducal
(June) Real and Likelike
(July)clossycan, melvingai - maybe rmagbanu

the next August applicant to get PPR would either be: Mrs.Winter or huggypoo


Steph, I predict your PPR to be either this week but most likely week after. But for sure, before the month ends.

 

[truesmile]

Adobo?! I was starting to drool over some " tinolang 'rooster' "... and trow some chili peppers in der too!!

I think those sound good! Maybe Mapol already got theirs and Real will get his today in the mail 8)
Also I vote for huggypoo, that is the best user name and I want to write it over and over.

yay.... my wife says that our native chicken is so much better compared to the chickens that you can buy in the grocery stores...

Yes you can always use their DROPBOX.

 

[CanadianJeepGuy]

Looking at the spreadsheet I can see they are working on the applications with SA dates of August 2012. Looks like another 2 months for for those approved in October. By the end this process will have gone well passed a year for my wife and I. Unbelievable.

Good morning Manila! Did those pesky Pandesal vendors wake you up? Would you prefer some ensaymada to dip in your 3 n 1? Oh no, here comes a guy selling Taho

TOTAL

LAST WEEK
PPR - 11
DM - 7
Visas - 5
Landed - 6

THE WEEK BEFORE THAT
PPR - 6
DM - 9
VISA - 11
LANDED - 1

Currently there are 2 April and 3 May waiting for PPR, 3 less then last week, and a few early 2012 and late 2011 applicants who seem to be stuck in the remed process.. seems like this affects Thundersoul, Faith45, Annarella, ronynotada and emrn, among others I'm sure.

My Magical Rooster has gotten all his predictions correct minus one, and has been saved from the stew pot! Too bad, because he is a native rooster and extremely tasty as ihaw-ihaw or inasal for the wife of Doljan!

To save his own feathers, this is what he has to say for next week:

Visa for GoCo09, , Arnel (April), lyndonyumague (May) Krusmaryosep, Gimizz (June), Cade, Pinyako ( may)

PPR: Like like (June) clossyclan (July)

I also predict that I will get a PPR. I know it seems like another week away, but I read my horoscope for this week and it says something like "Just when you thought lady luck had forgotten you, get ready for some good news this week!" I don't usually take horoscopes seriously, but this psychic lady in the paper has always gotten it right.. it's pretty creepy. Even more creepy then her profile pic which is from the 60's.

Below are Iay's predictions. I didn't know you had a rooster! I will bet her an ensaymada at Vancouver Goldilock's! Let's see what happens..

Nice predictions Steph.

Let's hope your predictions are right, and maybe even a few more names can sneak on to that list when the final tally is done, once the week is over.
