Pinoy October applicants 2012

[chelyfan]

Well hello everyone still waiting.... Well this is my timeline.... Our application was sent to CIC August 29/12 with a complete application and fees paid... 1040.00. our application was recieved Sept 4/12. I was approved to sponsor my wife Oct 16/12. filed was transfered Oct 16/12 to the CEM and now have been waithing since with no answer yet. Like they said you have to assume your application is at the CEM. After waiting for our NSO 4 months from Quezon City its been 8 months all together.. nothing but waiting..But I guess we all have to do it...our application was straight forward with no dependents and paid in advance with medicals and police clearence...it says the time will be quicker but don,t see that happening... now CEM is 11 months waiting instead of 9 WOW medical papers coild expire before the CEM opens our application,,, wanna bet they ask us to start all over again due to the time they take to approve or even open our file... and checking your appication online don,t say nothing soon as your app is sent to CEM... Well see you soon... anybody wanna get back...just write...Scott

I've created a consolidated spreadsheet for Manila outland applications. If you wish to use it you can access it at:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtCLbbZupkY_dHJRT2R1alhXS2xaUzFTcHZsTUhVbHc

If you aren't already on it you can insert a line in the appropriate month and add your info, or send me a message and I will add you. You are able to modify your information and there are some rough statistics of current times.

You may notice a pattern over the top part of the sheet with the stats. Those are protected cells. Just go to View and turn off "Protected Ranges" and the pattern will go away.

hey scott, this is what we all call patience in waiting...

just keep in mind though that there are a lot of people who submitted their application way ahead from yours.. there are even april applicants from CEM who doesn't have their PPR yet although i can see in the spreadsheet that june applicants are now that are receiving PPR's....

i'm a july applicant and i didn't hear anything from CEM after my wife's sponsorship approval and all it says in CIC website is application and medicals received...

all of us are in the same boat here...good luck

p.s. - my wife is also white canadian born and raised...

Hi, Kumusta? Ganun din sa akin no updates after CIC received my application last October 15, 2012 and approved my application to sponsor my wife on November 22, 2012. But I think we need to wait for at least 4 to 6 months for the PPR. So just relax and enjoy internet chatting for a while with your husband... Once or twice a year I go home for vacation to visit my wife, but after the application, I think I'm not going home this year of 2013. Post here if you got any news from CIC. Ingat... Cheers!

hey scott, i guess this year is the hardest year of waiting compare to previous years...some june applicants more than 140 days of waiting still no ppr news from the embassy and some MAY applicant over 30 days of waiting for their visa still in process mode in their status. hope embassy realize what other way they can do to boost the long process. and i suggest they should hire more visa officer for them to stop this congested problem in application package. hoping for the best result in our application this year 2013. good luck to all of us.

hello! makikijoin lang, november applicant here. 2nd week of November kami nagpadala, until now wala pang AOR na nareceive yung sponsor ko. more than 60 days na.

 

[greentea]

@ Chelyfan/ Scott

Not even 30 days for visa. Some of my batchmates who had their PPR request last Dec.1,2012 haven't heard anything from CEM. Hope they will speed up the process. Goodluck! Cheers!
