thanks Mystec_nayeli,from the eCAs online itself states that EP followed by 9 combination numbers- from the AOR CIO i received UCI (8 numbers) and EP number (8 numbers)- up to date can't able to check status from eCas,strange?!?- BTW, where did you take your medical test? Am from Philippines too and currently residing here in KSA as an OFW, my papers was handled by VO in Manila- am really keen to receive the MR soon. Do you have any idea if i can initiate my medical exam in KSA though VO in Manila is handling my application?!? appreciate your thoughts about this matter...
