Hi Nestor,

Just wondering, why is your timeline so long? Are you a special case? Just kind of scared how this processing time for passport is taking forever.

Thanks,
yes that's the way it is with the VO's. My passport has been with CEM for more than 6 months now. All processes have been completed and my sponsor is just waiting for a landing interview (LCP program, simultaneous processing for sponsor and spouse/dependents).

I guess it has something to do with the quota. Towards the end of the year is very critical because the few remaining slots, perhaps, are given to immigration consultants accredited with CIC. They have direct access, we know that.....plus some other things. It's normal.

Hopefully at the start of the new year they will go full blast with the new yearly quota. My medical expires in March, I hope all will be over before that date.

It's been too long, but others have taken much longer.

Hi Everyone, meron bang November applicants dito? :)

CPC-M received our papers on Nov 17 and I just checked the website, they are processing applications received as of October 20th na. Konting konti na lang! Nakakainip but nakakaexcite at the same time.. Sana sa January mas mapabilis ang processing... I am so tempted to go back home na to be with my husband! Tiis tiis muna for now pero ang hirap talaga :(

It's to certify that you're married. Somewhat like CENOMAR for single. Just get it from NSO. They already know about it.
