pretty? many members on this forum still waiting for their VISA...even myself...some of them waiting more that a year, almost half of the year and some got their VISA in shortest time...it depend on the VO handling your application but the process completion of the application takes 6 to 12 months.

medyo matagal-tagal pa sayo...you're not starting yet with the waiting Game...you're so lucky if you got a PPR in a short period of time...just pray sana masipag yung VO nahahawak ng application mo...6-12 months ang aantayin for completely process the application...on my case I've got PPR and addt'l docs 2weeks after CEM received my application some naman talagang matagal...in fact si Bamboo until now di pa sya nakka-receive ng PPR the fact na April 18 pa sya nag-apply at CEM got her application June 4...so depende talaga sa VO na hahawak ng papers mo...what we can advise is...keep praying...be patient and hold your faith...hope malampasan mo lahat frustration waiting for your VISA...Goodluck and stay tune on this forum and many members her will help you to ease your boringness...God bless po.
