Getting frustrated with these clowns. We did a medical furtherance over a month ago, they just sent us the exact same email to do the same thing. It's not a test that can be failed or needs to be redone, they just don't seem to have a clue that we already did it. Imbeciles.
check with the doctor make sure it was sent to cem and email them,,,,on my 2nd email my visa was stamped 1 day later

Question about sending the PPR in. Do you need to phone CEM and set up a time for delivery? My wife went to the local fedex and they said they could not send it without calling first and arranging a time.

Thank you for taking the time to respond Steph! Any ideas on how to get the AOM added to our application once we have it? The SA is done and all our paperwork should be in Manila by now.
i would just wait for PPR and send it in then, I may be wrong that they will ask for it but they have been pretty consistent with that in the past.

I guess fedex thought you are sending application for visitor's visa. That's how you send your app for visitor's visa you need to call CEM to schedule a pick up. I suppose they got confused and didnt know its for PPR.

I wonder if the strikers were focused on the students and their apps and just started getting back to the family ones because the school year has started.
