Guys! I went to VFS this morning. I suggest bring an eco bag for your stuff - documents, wallet and cellphone allowedninside pero patay dapat cellphone. Dont bring a leather bag anymore. Powerbank bawal also. Charge for locker is P75. Tapos my pic got rejected. They are very strict. They will instruct you to go to the nearest photo studio which is in alpha land pa na you have to ride a jeep pa tapos 10am pa mag open. Decided to go back to my photo studio- kodak in glorietta cz its near my offoce. They changed it naman for free. Yung specs ng pic butasan nyo na to make sure pasok ang face nyo. Good luck!
Same experience, when i went there last Friday Ano Po pala timeline nyo?

Hi! They started my application January 23 here in Manila too. We have the same timeline,
my last update of my application, they ask for additional docs. Last March 16, advisory of marriage.
I'm hoping for the Good news next month.

I received their request thru my online account, but some applicant, receive thru email.
But if you are confident that you have send your application complete and everything is upfront.
Maybe you don't have any additional document needed.
Just wait for PPR
Or another option you can request GCM notes.

After you went to Kodak did you go back again to VFS and in-accept naman nila yung photos nyo?

Appreciate all the tips you mentioned :)

Hello, Katatapos ko pong mag PDOS from CFO Clark Pampanga, walked in po ako at pwede ang walk in doon no need to have an appointment. Basta dpat dala ung COPR at Passport with visa.. Doon na rin po mag fill out ng form. 400 pesos po ang payment. MWF po ang schedule nila for Canada, bale sabay po ang seminar ng USA at Canada. I suggest sa mga mag p-PDOS o mag walk in sa clark agahan nalang. 20 slots lang nklgay. Tapos pagdating doon ililista ung name. Nag o open po sila ng 9:00 am. mas maigi kong andoon ng mas maaga. Godbless.

Hello Ask q lng po mag aapply palang po ako ng spousal sponsorship s asawa ko po n asa pinas... bka meron kayo pwede tip skin bago ko po isubmit. salamat po Gudluck to all of us!!!
** Just make sure you have all the required documents esp PSA copy of your Marriage Certificate (MC), Advisory on Marriage (AOM) of the PA, Birth Certificate (BC) of the PA, if you are a PR you might want to send na din your PSA BC.

** Follow lang what the Guide says about total number of photos and supporting documents.

** Double/triple (or so) check all the forms filled out. Make sure both your signatures are original and dated.

That's all I can think of pa lang right now. Others will for sure give you more tips :)

Good luck!

Lbalcueva, you and I all have the same date of processing here in Manila. I have not received AOR2 at all and just like you, I have not heard anything from the embassy up to now. I also submitted everything upfront. Na-link mo ba App mo sa MyCIC?

Yes na link ko naman po sya.. ang worry ko lang po since in the middle of process ako gumawa ng account baka maguluhan na si cic whether to send me letter or email kasi diba po originally pag walang account by mail sinesend yung update.. baka lang po mas lalo tumagal sa ginawa ko ☹
