Payo ko lang po da mga magaapply pa or magpapasa pa lang ng application nila. Yung sa amin po, it only took 4 1/2 months. Ang advice po kasi sakin, isama ko na lahat ng nasa document checklist and checklist ng CEM. Nasa website po yun. And in terms of proof of marriage/relationship, mahigit 500 pages po ang naprint ko for chat logs, Skype calls, YM message archive, emails, FB, Twitter, etc. Sobrang dami kodin pong prinint na pictures simula nung highschool kami hanggang nung kasal. Nakathumbnail na nga po para tipid sa ink kasi super dami talaga. Sa application form din po, pagkkwentuhin kayo ng love story nyo in English, make sure it's in English daw po kasi hnd daw po lahat ng VO eh pinoy or marunong magTagalog. Sobrang haba din po ng pagkwento namin sa lovestory namin. I also included the FULL payment $1045 kasi daw po dun din nila binabase ung pagasikaso ng documents kung bayad na ng buo or hnd pa. Lahat po isinama ko na sa application nuong pinasa ko dto sa Canada. Wala na pong hiningi sa amin na mga AoM or anything else. July 24 pa po ang expiration ng medical ng asawa ko, I dont think na hinabol nila un kasi matagal pa naman. It is clearly base on how u will prove ur relationship kasi po marami po talaga marriage fraud ngayon just to enter Canada. Kung may tanong po kayo or u need my help, imessage nyo lang po ako. I would be more than happy to help. Alam ko po pakiramdam ng magkahiwalay. The greatest weapon here are prayers! Dasal lang po talaga. Lakas tayo kay Bro! Nakakalungkot lang kasi may mga nabasa ako sa ibang forum na nagagalit sila dahil nauna ako. That CEM had to skip them. Hnd ko alam kung bakit pero hnd ko naman siguro kasalanan un. At lalong hnd ko alam kung anong process talaga ng CEM. Before our PPR, mas pinagdadasal ko pa nga ung ibang nauna para next narin kami tapos mababasa ko na ganun. Kaya nga po may forum na ganto para magtulungan tayo diba. Kaya kung kailangan nyo po ako, I will always check this and help u guys. Just let me know!
hello acel_custodio...wow bilis naman...congrats...i would just like to ask kung ano yung $1045 na binayaran mo? para saan yun po? thanks...

Congrats to Acel_Custodio :D that was really fast! nakakatuwa naman :D how long have you been married? sana ganyan din kabilis yung sa min :) and dito ba sa manila nag-medical si hubby mo? ikaw lang ba ang nag-ayos ng papers ni hubby or did you hire a lawyer? You mentioned your love story, we did ours too and wrote it in English and it was really long. We indicated there how we met, then we became friends, all our struggles as a couple and till we got married. What do you think is the reason for the fast processing of your application? Was it the completeness and accuracy of the documents you submitted? Sorry, got so many questions for you... Will appreciate your feedback! Thank you and Congrats again :) I really am happy for you!

ECAS has not been updated; it still shows as "In Process" even though my partner was told to come back to the embassy at 3PM today to pick up his visa.

Yours was a special case jarry. Hmmm. So was it just the NBI which was holding them to send the visa? Good thing you decided to actually go straight to CEM to drop it off.

CEM suggested we could either courier the documents or bring them in to the embassy personally.

I did it all by myself lol. No lawyers. Madali lang naman kasi intindihin ung nasa website ng CIC. Basta sabi lang kumpletuhin lahat pagpasa para wala ng hihingin pa. Sa Makati nagmedical asawa ko nung last week ng July. December na ko nakapagapply kasi ang tagal ng marriage cert namin sa Manila cityhall. Binaha kasi sila nun kaya hnd nila agad naforward sa NSO. Binayaran ko na lahat sa CIC sinama ko ung receipt nung pinasa ko. Kumpleto din kami sa Skype, YM, emails, letters, FB, Twitter, pictures pati wedding details, mga travels together pati tickets and boarding passes, ung mga stamp sa passport namin na 3x ako umuwi to be with him. July 3 last yr kami kinasal.
