Should I ask for extensions now or since "in Process" naman sya, does it get automatically extended ng 14 months instead ng 12?

Thanks!
Instead of asking for it ask them what if any they're plan is to deal with it..
We got our GCMS notes last month and the "drop dead"date indicated on our file was two months past Mrs JGM's medical..so that tells me they're prepared to extend...they can't have a process that includes submitting medical that are good for a year in a fourteen month process..doesn't make any sense..

I totally agree with u! They should also take into account that they were on strike for.. Was it 4 months?! Omg. I've sent an email more than a month ago (45 days already) just asking regarding the application's progess and no reply! =\

Sis, ask your husband to get in touch with his MP in Canada--he would know who that is. I sent an e-mail to my MP a couple of times to help me out getting an update on my husband's application status. That's all an MP can do for you though.

Was just looking at your earlier posts..cic received your application in march?
Realistically ..you might be looking at a remed because theoretically the fourteen month time line starts the date of the receipt of the application...
Don't like bringing you bad news but if your app was submitted in march then unfortunately May is your drop dead date..

Hi sis, I'm the one whos here in canada though, i'm sponsoring my husband. I just looked it up, i see what you mean! Il email him (MP) and see if the CEM replies to him since the manila office has no plans of replying sakin.

So the medical expires a year after they receive your application? Not a year after the medical itself? Kse my husband did his medical dec 15th 2012. Your saying it expires early May, assuming its 14 months?

Thanks!

Sorry.I know it's confusing..the meds are good for a year..since they extended the timeline to
fourteen months I'vee been
reading cases here where they
extend meds validity past
twelve months when the "drop
dead" date is within a couple
months of the twelve month medical
When I say drop dead fate that's the fourteen month date.
anniversary .

I think because of the three month lag between your meds and your application submission it could be too much of a gap for them to extend... the medical validity...
From what I've read here CEM is a hitt and miss affair anyhow and nobody outside of it knows how they really operate.Every file is unique and they seem to waiver all the time from any concrete process ..
