Embassy acknowledging the receipt of application - April
Embassy asking for a new NBI clearance and change of her surname to mine (NSO) - August
Visa received - November

Smiley Goodluck to all.

hi ikon, CEM would surely respond in less than 17 days reckoning from the date of submission of passport or from the date of email. God bless.

Thanks Ellaine .. i appreciate the reply. I'm hoping they will issue the visa in january in time for our 2nd year anniversary.. that would be awesome if that would happen

Make sure you check the airlines directly as well, they quote the prices with all taxes included. I was able to get a flight from Manila to Vancouver for quite a bit cheaper than expedia and other sites by going directly to the Philippine Airlines site (direct flight for $500 booked a few days before my wife left). It's not always cheaper but good to compare.

Sheesh..are you going to wait until the meds expire?
From our notes I can tell that the next due date is December 30..if there's no updates by last week of January I'm going to nudge them I think..for what that's worth..
Do you think it's better to stay under the radar or make waves?

The minion said it wouldn't affect the process by them inquiring. If I have not heard anything by Jan 6th I am suppose to contact them again and they will inquire again. I am going to order the notes soon.

mine arrived at DHL after 5 days, it took 1-2 weeks for others..give your local DHL office a call, maybe they have the package already and just couldn't contact your phone

It all depends on how many people are in line and how many flights come in at the same time. I would make sure you have three hours at least, maybe even more. You can let the person know there that you have a flight to catch too.

 

[thekindofguy]

Dswifey - thanks. See you on the rock. Hopefully it arrives soon as we already have flight booked for end december.

Does CEM email with tracking number or confirmation visa is sent?
