Manila Visa Office?

[mattjp1]

Hi everyone,

Has someone applied through Manila LVO? I am trying to understand if it is one of these fast processing local visa offices... or not.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you.

Not sure if Manila LVO is slow or fast. Since there’s backlog especially for PNP-O applicants, processing would be more than 6 months.

What’s your timeline?

CIC informed a couple of weeks back that my file is being processed at Manila visa processing center.
I am an FSW-O applicant, April 25th AOR. Med's passed on 20th June and Additional Document Requested.
No update since then!
Will contact Manila after 25th OCT (when 6 months end!) to see if I can get anything out from them!

That sucks. We always thought that FSW is way faster process unlike us under PNP.

I’m PNP-O with e-AOR 03 March. My application is entering its 8-month, which translates it sucks big time too.

Sorry to hear, but I would tend to think you're nearing the end of the process!

Feel free to share a contact number in Manila LVO if you have a good one.
Thanks

I'm FSW-O, August 11 AOR and additional documents submitted. No news since then. Most FSWO with August AOR have been approved, not sure why some files take so long.

Thanks for your comments.
My brother applied on May 20th and got PPR and Visa in August and here I am also telling myself that I will get a decision soon!
Will share my experience once I get in touch with them after the 25th.

Looks pretty fast for your brother! Also Manila LVO?

Yes mate you're almost at the end of the tunnel

Well, since his file was processed so quickly, he never had to contact CIC and didn't even know where the file was processed.
All he had to do was send the passports to SGVO through local VAC!
I guess only the people (like mine!) whose applications get stuck forever get anxious and jump guns around!

Wow, we almost have the same timeline (my timeline is in my post signature below). However, I got PPR about 90-100 days from AoR and we were processed in Ottawa. I wonder what's been keeping the LVOs from processing faster?

I had to provide additional PCC from Japan which probably explains some of the delays!
That's all I am telling myself to give hope!

As long as you're not past the 6-month mark, then this may be all there is to it. Fingers crossed for you, dude.

Thanks!
Approaching 6 months in 9 days!
Only a miracle can change the end of my story now!

Not much.
Medical passed on 20th June and Additional PCC request.
That's all!
