Inasmuch as I want to remain positive, I am now entertaining the idea that I MIGHT still celebrate Christmas here in the Philippines. :(

I would like to think that yeah, perhaps those who are getting their visas are not from this forum (that's why we are not aware). But as I look at the time sheet, we represent a pretty good sample of the whole population (of applicants). So how come not even one has gotten a visa recently?

I've read from somewhere that a tourist visa application was pretty quick. So the rumors must be true, the embassies are prioritizing tourist and work applications than spousal sponsorship. :( :( :(
keep the faith bro ;)

hi cranberries, we almost have the same timeline... what i think is that cem are giving visas based on the medical expiration. I have a cousin here that had the same timeline as ours except that he had her
husband done the medical last year of September. He received an email from cem like 2 weeks before the expiration of his medical asking for his flight sched in order to grant his visa. I even applied 2 weeks earlier than my cousin so i guess they are somehow basing it on the medicals and not just to those who applied first. What im saying is malapit lapit na ang visa dumating para sa atin since our medical exp will be on november. like a month or so? hehe... balitaan na lang natin ang isa't isa kung dumating na ang visa. Godbless sa ating lahat na nagmamasters in 'waiting' dito sa forum. ;D
yeah that's true pero i e-mailed cem and reminded them of my medicals expiry. they told me it's not expiring in novemeber but january 8th. looks like they extended the medicals by 13 months and 13 days.si pauluz din ganun.. soooo.... :(

@ thrinean, I think they didn't asked for the UCI just the application number. It stated from the letter from CEM (A file has been created with the application number noted above. Please ensure that you quote this
application number in any future correspondence with our office.) ;D ;) :)
