share ko lang to guys nabasa ko sa forum na August 2011 Manila Visa.
From user name emrn
d. eCAS common observations: (it's case to case basis)
i. Application Received status >> medical results received, mailing address added/removed
occasionally
ii. In Process status >> mailing address added/removed occasionally, sometimes does not
appear even DM already or VISA has been issued, medical results received sometimes
appear at this stage
iii. Decision Made status >> usually status will change to DM before the sponsored person
receives his/her VISA but there are cases that eCAS not yet updated even VISA has been
issued
iv.2-4 months waiting time from the date of the pp sent before eCAS changes
v.eCAS changes to IN PROCESS and then DM after the said waiting time
vi.Medical result received and DM usually comes few days after IN PROCESS; but some will
have IN PROCESS for 2-4 months and gets DM; some gets visa first before getting DM from
IN PROCESS status.
vii.Medical result received status will appear once or twice. If you submitted your medical result
prior to your application, it will appear first before application received or during the first month of
your application and then in just a few days it will be removed on your ecas. If it again appeared
2-4 months after passport submission then you'll probably get DM within that month or not later
than the next month, if everything goes well.
e. Some factors affecting the timeline: (it's case to case basis)
i. visa officer handling the application,
ii. complete application package submitted,
ii. compliance on additional document requested,
iv. relationship history, background check, criminal/security check
v. proofs submitted to show the relationship is genuine
f. It may require an interview or add'l information and documentation before it can make a decision
about your application. If you are asked to provide additional documents, the visa office will send you a
written request. It is in your interest to comply as quickly as possible. If the visa office does not
receive the add'l information or docs within 3 months of the request date your application may be
refused. If you need to be interviewed, the visa office will notify you in writing in advance of the date,
time and location of the interview as well as of the documents to bring with you.
salamat..
