Ran,
I don't think 'bombarding' them with emails will help process the application any faster - in fact it might slow it down. What do you consider 'super delayed' anyway? Mine changed to "In process" on the 13th month and now we're at 15 months. It's kind of hard for me to fathom people who applied in March, April, May of 2013 already "in process" or even landed"

I agree. Which means it is not by priority sequence.

Maradhen,
Despite what they say, I don't believe for one second that the applications are processed in the order they are received. Why else would some applications be 6 or 7 months ahead of mine? I think they are so disorganized, so inefficient and so overwhelmed that some applications get forgotten or thrown on the bottom of the pile. Mine only started to move after I had to point out to them that my wife's medicals had expired. (I also don't understand why some medicals are extended and others have to have them done again - for us at at a cost of $300). I'm heading to see my MP on Tuesday to light another fire under their butts otherwise it might sit on someone's desk for another 2 or 3 months.............

Guys ask lang po about fam sponsorship. At the time po kasi nung sinend namin application ng wife ko, hindi sya nakapag pa medical. The thing is, is it posible na ipamedical ko sya and then update the CEM about it? Or we just wait na i request nila? Naiinip napo kasi kami, baka that way mejo bumilis ang processing ng papers nila. Thank you and Godbless :)

Salamat sa mga nakisimpatya.... medyo nakakgaan din na hindi pala ako nag iisa at my mas matagal pa. lahat kasi ng nasa paligid ko lalo na yung kasabay ko na nag submit nun June 2012 na friend ko nandito na yung asawa nya nun Jan 2013 so 7 mos lang sa kanya...

MLA office told me na visa office doesn't like it if you keep on bugging them with email kasi daw hinuhugot yung papers mo then pag wala cguro silang magagawa eh ibabalik nila sa bottom of the file again.

Maybe I can try to MP again but you know what according to the immigration consultant that i have talked to maling MP at MLA daw yung pinuntahan ko kaso hidni daw kaalyado ng ng party list ng mga nakaupo ngayon yung mga nilapitan ko...have you ever heard of this before? Haym ewan ko sari sari ng kwento at dahilan at explanation and narereciv ko sa totoo lng. Ang sabi ko nga dun sa immigration consultant bakit hidni na lang nila ibalik yung application ko if i screwed up big time like what he is saying to me. ANg sabi nya it takes moe work for the visa officer or immigration officer daw to return our application than keep it for a long time...SAbi ko nga they don't understand the frustration that we are experiencing, yung lost time, saka imbis na kapag start na ng buhay together.. Nasan na yung Family reunification nila? Bakit merong mabilis at merong sobrang tagal? ANg iniisip ko lang if we really screwed up big time dun sa mga application form natin bakit naman tyo ipupunished ng ganito. ganun ba talaga kasi super powerful sila?

I agree!! Mine too.. my sponsorship application was pending in the visa office for many months. Havent heard from them. I kept emailing because that time I was concerned that my husband's medicals will expire. Did not even get a response from them. So disappointing. They ended up asking him to redo his medicals after his PPR, which costs money again. They are very disorganized, untimely, and I feel that they d0n't really care. :<
