hi! wala paring pagbabago sa e-cas ko..pero i dont worry that much kasi for sure wala maxadong oras ang mga vo to update us every time may progress sa application natin dba?...mas reliable parin ang letter from them...i got their request through letter, kainis nga eh kasi May 12 ang date then natanggap ko nung May 22 ata un..eh nagsisimula na ang 45 days counting dun..buti na lng nakuha ko agad hinihingi nila kaya naipasa ko b4 the 45th day, though malayo pa din nman...extend mo pa ng mahaba-haba patience mo Yelsha kasi marami pa tayong kakailanganing ganun.. ;D

for those who are bothered sa deadline nila na binigay..If talagang di kayo aabot sa deadline
you can request them to extend by writing CEM
accomodating naman sila lalu na sa International Police Clearance ...usually the processing time is between 2to 3 months..
Just explain and give valid reason and prove them its on process by providing receipts
kasi minsan may mga doc tayo na di madaling kunin it takes time.
Kaya send them mail for extention.
