SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[GREEN1984]

AFAIK, eligibility assessment checks if you meets the selection criteria in that category that you applied... meaning kung spousal, common-law, conjugal, yung application nyo... they will check validity of your application for spousal/common-law/conjugal sponsorship... they will scrutinize all the documents and evidences that you submitted. They might ask for additional documents or proof (e.i AOM, Annulment certificate, CENOMAR,Certificate of finality) if they are not satisfied.

IF CEM/CIC are satisfied... then next stage is ADMISSIBILITY CHECK / BACKGROUND CHECK which includes SECURITY and CRIMINALITY check. Dito medyo tumatagal ang application since they need to consult other agencies such as CSIS, NBI, Security database and other government agencies... to know if you have any criminal record lalu na if you travel abroad or stayed more than 6 months.

Bottom line, CEM/CIC once to make sure na malinis kayo at hindi kayo threat in the Canadian soil once you land... Mostly, tumatagal sa stage na ito lalu na pag may red-flag under your name...(kung baga sa NBI may hit yung name nyo or may record kayo)... CEM/CIC will have to wait (eto yung time na hindi nila control which further prolong the processing of the application) from local agencies to clear out your name or record.. They might even ask you for an interview during this stage..

Once tapos na sa background/security check VISA na kasunod nyan.

Paulit-ulit ko itong binabasa......Sana malapit na itong sa kin! So depressed na sa kakaisip nito di maiiwasan! lalo na sobrang tagal na nito....Salamat Raniloc & congratz sayo at ng pamilya mo!

I've just read this from a friend's post:


As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned...That's what you call GOD'S WILL.

Tapos na pala CEM sa lahat-lahat....Hintayin mo lang visa mo... darating na yun for sure.. wait ka lang in a few days or weeks..
Minsan nauuna pa dumating yung visa bago DM sa ecas gaya sa amin. ..

u think so? kasi parang antagal na. grabe sana nga rani kasi as in super drained na talaga kami ni hubby, emotionally, mentally, physically and financially.

you said frustating? my wife applied in december 2010 and we are waiting to know the decision from the Manila visa office. Now, 19 months!!!!!!!.

Sorry to heard that? What happen po? Did you follow up your application to your MP also at CEM?

 

[lady01]

Hello forumers! Just wanted to ask if you sent originals of your evidences such as boarding passes, receipts, phone bills etc.? Is it better to keep the originals and send photocopies instead?

Also, meron ba sa inyo natawag na for interview? What questions did the VO ask and what should we prepare just in case mapatawag din for interview?

Thank you very much! God bless us all!

 

[lady01]

Also, nag apply ako visitor visa noong mga nakalipas na taon para bisitahin ang then BF ko sa Canada. My then BF was my contact na nilagay ko sa application and he was supposed to accommodate me there. Nilagay namin na relationship namin is "Friend". That application was denied. My worry is isscrutinize pa kaya yun and maapektuhan kaya noon ang spousal sponsorship namin ngayon?

My husband told me not to worry about it because we have strong and solid proof of genuine relationship, but I just want more assurance.

Did anyone have a similar experience? Please share your tips. Thanks!

Thanks!... it looks like humaba ang processing time ng CEM from 9 months to 12 months na... Maraming backlog siguro kaya tumagal ang processing time..

Di ba 9 months ang standard processing time ng CEM based on their website?Reply ng VO kasi sa MP namin it's still within the 12months standard processing time.Can we ask again the MP for follow up and send her the link regarding the timeline? At least if the MP will know he's gonna be more pushy..What do you think?

@ lady01

we sent original pictures, receipts, cards etc...

i had an interview, its all about your relationship with the sponsor, like how, when, where did you first met, about the wedding so on and so for..

Emrn, don't worry. Lalabas din yan. Mabusisi lang siguro talaga sila sa conjugal relationship.... Lalabas din visa mo.

We just got a response from our MP.... Our medicals are valid, background checks are finalized, fees have been paid all were waiting for is a decision from our Visa officer (which probably might take forever :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(). We were advised to follow-up again on September. I don't know what else they need. This is really getting too frustrating :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

hi emrn! actually you can ask your MP to specifically ask if your visa will be issued before your medical will expire. Ganyan ang ginawa ng MP namin. Nagset din kami ng target date with our MP kung hanggang kelan kami maghihintay ng response/update from CEM. He actually told us to wait for a few more days before nya i-contact ang CEM but i was firm with my request na i-email nya ang CEM sa araw na ni-request ko. Nag follow up sya ng nagfollow up sa CEM, ayun minadali ung visa ng husband ko.

hi. we sent originals but had them photocopied in case the originals get lost. When we were still boyfriend-girlfriend, I applied for a tourist visa but was denied. I think in one of the application forms, there's a question there whether the applicant was denied entry to Canada. I indicated the date and the reason I was denied. Wala naman naging problema sa sponsor approval. Just waiting now for my visa. Have been waiting for more than 2 months from the time I submitted my passport and additional documents.
