Continued good luck to you! I share your worry waiting having gone through that myself - as well as others here that have gone through that.
Well, imagine paying the processing fee and then PhilPost snail mail was used to sent the MR to us? Talk of mixed emotions of joy ('yahooo......finally tapos na waiting ng MR....tumatakbo ang application ko!!!!) then a downer ('bakit naman di pinangalagaan tulad ng ginawa ko sa ipinadadala ko sa kanila eh important docs ito...original pa naman....?!?!). :-[ :-[ :-[ Then panic (paano ba ako mag-medical?!? Teka - 30 days lang ito dapat naibalik na???!!! Tama ba? Naku....

)
Kaya talagang kailangan kapit ka sa dadanasin mo dito sa processing and waiting. Surely I wish after everything that we have gone through, after landing and getting your papers and settling down, first thing to file for medical is therapy sessions "for the extreme emotional stress endured during the application process in getting here... ;D "
- hope this brings a smile to those waiting....
