Congrats bro!headcrash4 said:Help please. We got an email from the embassy for passport request. We preferred to send it to them on April 27th. How long will it take to receive our VISA and our mom's confirmation of permanent resident?
Thank you

Depends on where the return address is in the application. You were given a timeline until when/within when to submit your PPs in your PPR letter right? And in that same PPR letter - there is a statement there that reads the duration within where CEM will endeavor to return - can you check that statement? Usually the range specified by CEM is to return the PPs within 90 days - it may differ from applicant to applicant.headcrash4 said:Help please. We got an email from the embassy for passport request.

), so if you have a tracking receipt when you couriered your PPs, then add 1-2 days for CEM to open the package, and then start to verify the details in the passports against the information in the application, print COPRs and stamp the passports and send the PPs back.They only stated on the letter that VISA will be issued if:ragluf said:Depends on where the return address is in the application.

Typically if the return address is outside of the PH then the return time ranges from 3 - 5 weeks (based from returns to applicants from ME and Canada who posted here). Typically if the return address is in the PH - return times are much faster, 2-3 weeks or even a week less - depends on the location (MM vs provinces) - based on the posts here. This assumes no more added verification on the information in your PPs against that included in the application and in the supporting docs (i.e change in marital status, birth of a child, change of address, etc.)
Note return times could be counted from the time the PPs are received by CEM (CEM may differ
/hope this helps....
I was answering your initial post as above. You did not specify the other details as mentioned in your last post as below.headcrash4 said:Help please.

Thank you
I infer from these few details you provided that there is someone in Canada, perhaps the principal applicant and that there are others in the family in the PH. Thus, he/she in Canada needs to fulfill the conditions you stated above before you in the PH will have your visas issued/stamped. You may have been asked to submit your passports, but the conditions above should be satisfied first by the principal applicant or who is in Canada, then your visas will be issued.headcrash4 said:

If I was the sponsor I would be raising hell at my MP's office. To have requested the passports and then not issue the visas without notifying you of any problem is an act of delinquency on their part. Then they let all your documents expire and start it all over again almost a year later. What a bunch of clowns.Eric Mazda said:
They will make you redo the medical. When they informed my wife to redo hers I complained that if they request the medical to be done at stage 1 and they can't complete the stage 2 process before it expires then that is their problem. Why should I have to pay twice for their shortcomings. They then only required my wife to get her chest x-ray and interview with a panel physician. That could not be waived due to the high rate of TB in the Philippines.worrie-ds said:looking at your timeline..u did re medical?our medicals will be expiring this week but never heard from cem..2 weeks ago when i ff/up their reply is that our case is still in queue for the review of the visa officer...so,i guess instead of waiting for ppr we will be expecting a re medical exam...
