In davao? Well, it's nice to know.. :)

Here in Manila, releasing of NBI clearance takes 10 days from half a day. They said it was the CEM who insisted that the processing of NBI should be not less than 10 days. ::)

I even argued with the NBI staff for instructing me to comeback after 10 days without explaining why which caused them to calm me by disseminating informations. :mad:
that's s crazy my wife didn't mail as she was directed so she went and got another one only took 2 hours to get,,,,i cant believe it is that much difference in manila

I agree to an extent. I can understand why a conjugal app with dependents would take longer than a married with none as there is more information to look at and more to verify. But in general like apps should be treated in a like manner. And they most definitely are not.

I was asking the MP rep why my app seemed to be getting ignored all the time. Is it because they don't like the paper I printed it on? Maybe the toner was a little too light for their liking? Maybe the door on the file cabinet they put mine in sticks or the shelf it is on is a little too high to reach? I also mentioned that Facebook picture of with the stacks of applications and said maybe mine is on the bottom and only gets work done on it when everyone on top of mine gets done. In fact that last one would actually explain the pattern of work perfectly. Apart from some laughter no reasonable explanation was given.
honestly I don't think there is an explanation,,,,its fooking ridiculous I know ive been here longer than anyone and I really have no idea what is going on,,,maybe they just want to fuck up the applicants and see if their relationships can handle the stress they are providing who knows they wont tell us nothing

Don't know what I could have done. My app sat doing nothing until I started making noise. If I was quiet it would probably still be sitting at the bottom of the pile. Do you suppose it is because I didn't ruin someone's potatoes? Maybe they like it that way...

I don't know why they give us a UCI number to check our status,,,which never gets changed until the very end,,,,,,why not have it so we can access our GCMS notes from our homes with this #,,,,at least then we could see when add docs and requests are made,,,,,,oh I quess this is to logical,,,,,,,like I said b4 and others did,,,this ordeal is ridiculous and nothing else in my life has resembled this,,,,,,,there is no reason for this to be such an unorganized ordeal ,,,,,if any business tried to do something like this they would end up folding quickly,,,,it is a total fooked up mess

the worse thing about this crazy fooked up ordeal is 99.9% of applicants are granted the visas and come to Canada,,,,why just not let them come here at the beginning and if they are rejected just send them packing,,,,they would get a lot less emails from applicants,,,,and everyone would be happier,,,,,this again is to logical and the best solution for everyone,,,,,im just glad that I am near the end,,, I can almost feel my wifes breath on my face, how nice it will be soon to wake up each morning with her beside me,,instead of running to the computer to see a digitized picture of her and hear her voice,,,,too think so many people are just starting this ordeal,,,,some will end up like me sitting waiting for months and years without any answers....GOD BLESS AMERICA a spousal visa is approx. 3 months,,,,,or should I say a fiancé visa,,,they are allowed to go to the staes to get married

Landed at about 1:45pm. Everything went great. Never thought it'll be this smooth. Immigration people at the airport are all nice. The IO thought I went here to study. :p i was just asked for the address where to send the PR card. The porter thought I am Chinese :D
That is great . Welcome to Canada. I hope you settle in soon.
