Owwsss....my brod-in-law went to pick-up our passports and docs from my agency. Unfortunately, the passport of my son has a descripancy. Mali yung spelling ng Middle Name. So, advised by the agency to leave it for them to send it back to CEM for rectification. Haysss....okay na sana, sumablay pa!!! probably it will take daw 3 weeks for them to correct it sabi ng agency ko. 'Am not that anxious anymore kasi may visa stamp na, it's just for them to correct yung spelling ng name. Anybody with same experience? And for those with stamp passports and COPR...double check guys...baka may mali sa spelling!!!

So u mean sodapop, in reality ung pof nyo ay non existing as of now, pero once makiha nyo separation pay ay kaya naman i produce? Paano kyo nkapag provide ng pof sa bank dito sa pinas?

Merong affiliated agency ung ibang consulting offices para sa mga applicants na di kayang i-provide ang POF right away. Isa kami sa mga clients nila.

Hindi naman non-existent ung account. Nag-open kami ng account using our own money then ung kulang para sa POF namin, ung "certain agency" ang nag-provide. Parang nag-loan kami sa kanila para mabuo ung 1M na POF namin. Nagbayad kami ng 6 months advanced interest of about 100k...meaning, for 6 months ay may laman ang account namin na 1M. After 6 months, may monthly renewal fee para ma-maintain namin ung amount hanggang sa kelangan namin.
Yun ang purpose kaya nag-open kami ng bank account sa Pinas para doon i-pondo ung pera para sa POF, kasi technically, ay dito ang aming bank which is not allowed for us to have savings more than 3x our monthly salary...hindi kami pwedeng mag-ipon ng worth 1M dito.

Oo, maipo-produce naman namin ung POF pag nag-resign kami sa mga works namin dito, at yun talaga ang plano.

Hi! ang medical expiration is 1 year. So if you did your medical August 2011 so definitely it will be expired August 2012...but for your daughter, I guess February 2013.

Hello Sodapop! So sad to hear na meron na naman follow-up letter sa yo ang CEM regarding POF. Actually, we have the same situation...andito rin kame buong family of 6 sa Riyadh. You know, when I started my application I also wanted to transfer yung funds ko dyan sa Pinas but my CIC agent advised me not to do so kasi they might question why I don't have an account dito sa Riyadh. Ang bank ko is even linked sa Hospital where I'm working para diretso pumapasok yung sahod sa account na yon. So what reflects sa bank statement ko is yung opening date ng account w/s is 2003 is same time ng employment ko sa hosp. Maybe that's the reason why I wasn't asked to explain about POF. Ang titingnan kasi nila dyan ay yung time ng opening ng bank account and the time you started to live here in Saudi. May I ask kung kelan yun na-open yung bank account mo sa pinas?
As an advised, maybe you can tell na you are remitting your salary straight to your Phil bank account kasi you thought they might not recognize Saudi Banks kasi yun ang fear din noon ng agent ko. Or should we say na you feel safe keeping your money in the Philippines.
I hope malampasan mo yan. Keep Praying and hope you'll get the maple leaf soon!!!

So glad to meet you.

 Hindi pa kasi naming kayang i-provide ung POF namin that time na nag-apply kami, kasi plan namin ay ung end of service award ung gagamitin namin as POF kaya humingi kami ng assistance sa ibang agency na talagag especializing sa POF. Actually, affiliated naman sya ng consulting agency namin.

Na-open ung bank account sa Pilipinas ay 2010. Ang naisip naming reason na gamitin ay nung time kasi na nagbalak kaming bumili ng property, kinailangan talaga naming mag-open ng bank account sa Pilipinas para doon i-remit ung bayad.

Hindi ko nga sure bakit nga ba hindi namin ginamit ung bank namin dito..hindi naman kasi in-advise ng agent namin na pwede pala un....

Sana nga ay maayos ito

Gotcha! You just mentioned the magic word.. That u are not allowed to have savings more than what you earn. Tama yun. BTW, how did the embassy informed you about sa explanation ng pof? Did they phoned u or thru email? Pina su submit ba copy ng passbook nyo?

Okay na rin yang reason mo. You can also add na yun nga you don't feel safe keeping your money dito sa Saudi kasi every year we have to update our account based sa Iqama natin otherwise nafe-freeze yung account natin and it's a long process for re-activation.

 @  sodapop a piece of advise lng.  never never mention about this certain agency providing you a loan. I think its a big NO NO. Meaning inutang nyo lng ang pera nyo at hindi galing tlga  sa inyo, lalabas na niloko mo ang embassy claiming u have enough fund when in truth ay ni loan mo lang. BTW, anung bank un dineclare mo sa pof mo ?

They sent us message with formal letter-naka attached.
Wala naman ibang hiningi kungdi explanation bakit recently lang ung bank account namin na-open at saan galing ung pondo namin sa bangko?

Hopefully nga ay maayos....bigla akong natakot

oo nga, sabi rin nung agent namin na kelangan credible ung reason kasi ay may na-refuse na dahil umamin na nag-loan lang sila

oo nga, tsaka hindi tayo allowed mag-save ng more than sa salary natin hindi ba? hindi tayo allowed mag-ipon ng 1M sa savings natin dito. otherwise maku-question tayo saan nanggaling ang pera natin sa bank since palagi silang nagpa-pa-update ng account?

[dentista04]

Dr sana naman wag na ganun katgal.. More than 2yrs na application namin..

Don't worry! Napansin ko lately, mabilis na ang CEM mg issue ng PPR specially sa mga 2010-2011 applicants.

 @  sodapop you are given 45 days to comply, wag ka magpadalos sa reply mo. Pag isipan mo mabuti, ask GOD for wisdom, pray hard. He knows all you hearts desire and he will definitely give it to you. I wish you all the best, and will keep you in my prayers. You can do it!
