    SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

    Hi all. We've just been refused a TRV even though ADR said we should apply cuz our PRV would need to be resubmitted due to a other minor issue due to changes in how they deal with conjugal family class. (I declared we wanted to marry but wanted to do it in Canada so my children could attend...

    Good news. Vancouver office Blue Book first week of May (was rejected dec2013) Aug 1 received mail to say we can call to book ADR Finally got the date from the consultant for Sept 23 (might have been sooner but it's the earliest the consultant is available) Hope that helps for your "wondering"...

    Took 6months for blue book to arrive and another 2months for the call to book ADR. I was told by two consultants not to call them as you could find yourself at the bottom of the list.

    6months after the appeal the bluebook arrived. 2months after that they called for ADR. We made a request for ADR within our appeal cuz this group says ADR would happen quickest.

    Ok so now we have an ADR hearing. I have tons of supporting docs etc so that's not the question. How many ADR personnel are usually present. Can I do a video presentation (I have a 2min video so they can see us talking)? How long is the hearing? Suggested attire? Treat it like a court case...

    Anyone who's dealing with the Philippine CIC... Could you give some insight and timetable for your ADR or IAD hearing thru to visa. Given the typhoon we're trying to figure out timing.

    The notes were so vague you could poke at it and not hit anything. I've scanned the bluebook and sent it to a consultant for advice so we'll see.

    We sent a bunch of yahoo chats. Given we were together for 4months we could only show flights and picks and the apartment we rented during those months. Since the refusal in December we've been living together.

    We're supposed to hear any day now on a ADR hearing. We were told we had insufficient proof of relationship even though we showed: 3trips per year before our application and updated our file with additional trips during our application waiting period. The latter 4months of the application I left...

    Hi all. Been awhile since I've been here. We heard from the consultant two weeks ago (end of may) that the bluebook finally arrived. No contact with IAD though. I've scanned the posts (quickly mind you). Anyone know the typical reply time from bluebook to contact so we can set an appeal hearing...
