i applied in manila last jan 2011, just now i received the medical exam request. but i am in uae. is it possible to have me medical here? will it affect my visa application?

does the medical request mean there may be a positive result in the future? how about the interview?

please help. i am very confused and worried.
Did you inform CEM that you moved out of the country? You really have problem if you did not because it is required that you inform them when you change address. This may be the reason for the delay. Just hope that they reconsider it.

They have prescribed clinics indicated in the letter/med request. It should be from one of those given in the list; otherwise you have to inform CEM.

Regarding what to do next, just wait for further instructions from CEM. Why bother yourself? Your VO will give you specific instructions. Refer to the forum as it applies to you, just to get ideas so that you are prepared. You could be misled here because not all applicants and VO's have the same case and instructions.

pahelp nman po...
i received our medical request last dec 27, but the letter was dated nov 14. dapat daw within 30 days makapag pa medical kami... eh more than a month na before namin nareceive ang letter.
what should i do? san po ba pwede tumawag or mag email sa CEM?
thank you!!!
Don't worry. Just go to any of the listed DMP's and request them to write/note on their medical report the date you received CEM advise. The delay is reasonable. Or would you like to write CEM and wait for their answer before you do your meds? Of course not, because you will delay it further.

You know, at any step of the process, CEM will always give you final notice or warning if you are late/delayed to comply. Before that, nothing to worry, although some delays may happen.

After the Wedding: make sure to apply for Advanced Endorsement of you Marriage Certificate at the city hall of the place where the marriage took place to be filed at National Statistics Office (NSO) (Fee is around 6CAD). This will be needed for the visa application of your wife since CIC only accept Marriage certificate in NSO Paper. (Note that usual filing of the marriage certificate takes 2-3months, so ask for advanced endorsement).

My husband and i had a great time doing all these process together without assistance. Dont get fooled when someone would ask you thousands of pesos to make the process easier. We did it ourselves.

Good luck on your upcoming marriage ;D :D


mrsh
hi mrsh, me and my hubby got married last december 11 here in manila, we asked manila city hall on when can we get th marriage certificate at nso and they told us that it would take 6 months, we asked them if there's an easy way and they told us they can't do anything about that..

I would not suggest changing your address because it is there where you actually lived most of the time as listed in your personal history. You can just visit or send somebody to the post office to check undelivered mails once a week. In 2 or 3 times that you go there, staff will be familiar with you and take care of your mails. try to develop acquaintance with some people in the post office. Anywhere you stay, you can not also be sure that you will be there during deliveries.

Happy new year!
