Hi everyone!

It's finally over for me. Mr. 14th got a call around 1PM asking him to come to CEM to pickup his passport with visa. When we submitted the documents together with his passport, I asked him to include a letter stating that we prefer to pick it up than having it sent through courier. Fortunately, they listened.

He initially booked a flight for July 17, but he moved it to 18. As for PDOS, driver's abstract, B4 forms and all that, he's finished it all so he's ready to go! ;D

Lastly, ecas never updated for us. It still says application received with his Philippines address. Our MP advised that the next pull up date for our file was July 15 and it looks like they're right because that's when we got the call.

To everyone, thank you for sticking with each other. I've lost hope along the road as to when this will end, but gathered strength from you all. I wish everyone the best of luck and patience.

God bless!

Congratulations! No more CIC frustrations! Just enjoy life!
