is it safe to say then that we should tell all the truth to the immigration bout her overstaying in london since it has no impact on her application?
You should tell the truth in so far as it answers their questions honestly, I would stop short of offering anything much beyond that though. Just my opinion

I emailed my MP asking for a status update on our application back in early July (before our PPR) and they just replied now:

Good morning Mr.Panes,

I inquired on the status of your application and this is the reply I received from immigration in Manila on September 17,2013.

Dear Mr. Galipeau,

Please be advised that initial review on the file has been completed. The applicant's medical result is valid until 26 January 2014. The application is currently queued for eligibility review. The applicant will be apprised accordingly of the additional processing requirements that may be needed.

We trust this information is of assistance.

If needed you can follow-up with our office at any time.

I thought the eligibility review is done before the PPR? Is anyone familiar with the flow process CEM uses? Just trying to gauge where I am in the pipeline. And yeah, they extended my wife's medical. She got it done in Dec 10, 2012, now it will expire in Jan 26, 2014
We recieved the same email from my mp a month before they released the visa...

I'm surprised how your MP did not respond for about 2 months, and surprises you with an update. My MP hasn't replied to any of my queries in the last month, I'm hoping they're still getting an update from CEM tho.


I'm not really sure how to answer your Q, but I believe you're almost at the finish line :)

Thanks Iay, I do hope that I'm near the end of the pipeline. I actually kind'a gave up on my MP after i sent him follow up emails but it went unanswered, then when I least expected it, he sent me the email above. When did you sent your request? I'm also waiting for my GCMS notes to arrive. I ordered it last week of August, so perhaps a few more weeks for that one.

I sent it in the first week of Sept., so I'm expecting around the 2nd week of Oct to get it.
Hopefully, my husband would get a remedical request soon after that.

I then would wait until my MP finally responds. I guess he got too annoyed of my weekly email in August. ;D
