Philippines Visa Office is slow. NDVO is now giving MRs to September applicants but for us they are still stuck with June and July applicants.
Question, what do you think is the factor why they are asking some people for updated POF? Is it because their salaries and other financial proof don't suffice or justify the accumulation of Proof of funds?
Hi MSDEETAN,
I agree that CEM is really slow compared to other VO. They were only fast at the beginning
. 7 Jan. PER here and no Second line update yet.
What i observed, mostly applicants with local employment back in the Phils. were asked for updated POF. In my opinion, it is a doubt from a Visa officer with regards to the accumulation of POF due to low compensation structure in the country as well as those applicants who earned few years of experience, meaning, not sufficient to earn that required POF in a matter of few years of employment except to those applicants with other source of income (business,etc.). Also, i think an applicant from Phils. who have been working for longer period with good salary history may not be asked for updated POF anymore and to those who are working overseas. If i'm not mistaken, I have not heard from the forum of any "OFW" applicants who were asked such updated POF as add'nal requirement prior to MR.
Same fellow Pinoy here with work abroad. Wish you good luck in your application.
God bless
Cheers
