Those who applied as self-employed, let's connect

[winter]

the manila office had a refusal rate of 100% in the last 12 months, they refused 7 applications and approved none
but you're in luck, as of January his year they only had 2 cases in the queue, compared to 1200 cases in New Delhi.

i can see in the table that manila office has an approval rate of 100% for self-employed in the last 12 months, as opposed to what you said as 100% refusal rate.  i hope im seeing the table correctly 
not sure though about how fast or slow they process the applications.

i wont get my hopes up though.  i believe this can be purely luck and trust in the Lord.

thanks for your answers..

I guess I got confused too, now I am seeing in the updated table for th elast 12 months:
2   -   100%   9
approval   refused approval rate  visas issued

in any case as I said you're in luck Manila office is working unlike New Delhi and what once was Damascus where my applicatin was which were not working on applications.

Hi

i'm quite confused with the table.  does that mean this year only 2 applied for self-employed in manila and both are approved?

No, it means that 2 applicants had the visa issued.  They probably applied 3 or 4 years previously.  None were refused in the past 12 months.  Change the reporting period and it should show the numbers of applications for the past 5 years and the refusal rates.

Thanks for your responses ihabkal and PMM.  Am still not decided if i will send my application, still praying for it.  I understand in this category, application fee is not refundable if not approved, right? That's one to be considered, too.
