Interesting. When did you get DM? Do you live near Makati?
I got DM on 5th Dec, and I'm Japanese who live in Japan.
I understand that depend on officer but there is nothing news from VO so it make me little worried.
Anyway for now , I should wait as patient.

Thanks you Awesomemeg.
All this waiting it's seem long for us but I can only imagine the frustration for those who've been waiting for more than a year.

It is already 15 months,
yes, maybe because it is conjugal it is taking so long,
but be hopeful and you should receive news any time now.

I hope that the re-meds will be asked very soon,

good luck

Good to hear that 8-month processings are still possible out of Manila. (We don't have the same backgrounds culturally either.) There are a lot of conspiracy theories floating around.
Hi truesmile, I'm so glad that you are still in the forum. I revisit the forum because I want to get my son back here in Canada. I hope you can help me how to do, he got his PR and we both landed Nov. 21, 2013. Unfortunately we sent him back to the home last May 2014. Do you have idea how to get him back? Do I need to apply for a new sponsorship?
