For us they 'found' the medical one month after the request date. Do you have info on what date the clinic sent the results to CEM? If you just completed it, they would probably forward the results next week.

I think the general data lately has been about a month to DM. You can check the spreadsheet!

I'm just chatting with my wife right now. She got a call from CEM last week verifying our information and asking about her remed that was done on the 6th of May. CEM had not received it from IOM in Makati. So she called the IOM and was told that they had sent it off when contacted by CEM on the 23rd. You had better call the panel physician's office and make sure they had sent in your results. The fookers added an extra 20 days for no reason.

I dont know for sure, but STEPHC had medical done and received visa all within 1 month, I think there has been quite of few doing REMEDS in the last month and visas already received. Congratulations Im sure you dont have long to wait now.

Oh my gosh.. that was one of my worst fears also. At least Manila is on your case for once, they're actively looking for the medical to issue the visa.

I wonder if that was some sort of 'retaliation' for getting the extended medical.

Today will be spent sending out more nasty emails.
If Dr. Marte at IOM Makati is anyone's panel physician I would recommend calling the office to make sure they sent in the results.

Whats another 20 days, you know the end of this process is near, you have a lifetime ahead of you. Goodluck, at least you didnt buy the airline flight, with hopes the visa would get in hand on time.

I had considered that myself. They didn't make a whole lot of money so make it wait. I will include that in my email. Regardless what is the point of having an electronic system if no one uses it?

It seems highly likely. We know that when they requested extended medicals at the beginning of the year people were waiting 3 months for that Bull. They got their way with the full medical.
