Hi
Hi:
My husband is still waiting for his work permit application results from the Manila Embassy and we would like to know if there's anybody here who can tell me the current timeline of applications. We submitted it on late November 2008, and our medical results were already received Feb 23. Should it take long before we hear back from them? By the way, I am also applying for an open work permit, do you think that will delay the processing?And one last note,I am also a little worried since my medical results were sent to Ottawa instead of Manila. I have done my medicals in Los Angeles. My husband has no problem though since his medical results were sent directly to Manila.
I am hoping to hear back from y'all regarding your timeline.thanks.ciao!
From the Manila site:
Temporary Work Permit
As of the updating of this message, processing time was approximately 12 weeks.
Please note that processing times quoted are accurate at the time of publishing. It is an average range and individual case processing times may be longer due to medical follow-up, missing, incomplete or inaccurate documentation or if an interview is required. You are asked to refrain from making any representations on a case until at least 6 months have passed since the application was received by our office.
