Hello. Feb applicant here. My husband was asked by CEM to submit appendix A only but he decided to send his original passport as well. It was sent to CEM on June 8. They still have my husband's passport until now. Status is still application received on ecas. Emailed CEM 2weeks ago for an update but no response.

hi! we'll see what happens..were planning to do the same thing, in case they only ask for appendix a,,we'll send the hubs' passport with it..hopefully makatulong since ndi na mgrerequest then mghhntay ulit, at least they would have the passport already the moment they need it.

GOODLUCK! ;) this august for sure makakarinig na kayo ng news from CEM..kami naman waiting for PPR.. :D

Well, I don't really recommend na isend mo agad ang passport kung hndi pa nirerequest ng CEM. The only reason why my husband sent it was because we were a bit confused. Ang name kase ng appendix A is "passport request" so we assume na kailangan na din ang passport. I was advised by a member of this forum na nakalist sa additional docs and "original passport" kung isa yun sa mga nirerequest nila. In our case, Appendix A lang ang naka list but again, sinend pa din ni hubby passport nya. As far as I know, may sinoling passport ang CEM sa isang applicant, can't remember if jan or feb applicant, kse nga hindi pa naman nirerequest ung pp nya. I guess it all depends sa case. May non-accompanying dependent child ang husband ko and we got married in California. I think it might be the reasons kung bakit matagal ang processing ng application ni hubby... I totally understand how difficult it is to wait, kahit ako mejo nawawalan na din ng patience, but what can I do.

Thanks for wishing us luck and we really hope na may visa na si hubby this August. Kahit update man lang.

yup, mrs.B mentioned that, but i also know someone who submitted it without the request & it didnt create a problem. so yah, it's case to case basis,. hopefully they would request for my hubs passport so we wouldnt have dilemma about sending it.

Hello sis Mhikyla12.

I think ako yung nagsend ng passport tapos hndi pa pala nirerequest. Kasi ung name ng file eh passport request. We got too excited tapos yun pala ang dami pang docs na nirerequire. I'm a bit worried kasi last July 31 nasend ko na lahat ng kulang na docs tapos nung finollow up ko eh sabi outstanding pa daw eh nasend ko na lahat ng kulang na docs. Grabeh nakakadepress nmn. :(

Hnaggang ngayon waiting pa din ako. January applicant here.
May kakilala ka na January applicant?

Hello I'm new here. I just want to share my timeline here later and need to know if anyone knows what will I do after I get my passport with visa? However I had a GUIDANCE and COUNSELING already from CFO when I needed to change my status for passport but haven't had any stamped or sticker in my passport that I need if I'm not mistaken? And if I get that am I already good to go?

Hello Anj94. To be honest, dko matandaan kung Jan or Feb applicant ung nagsend ng pp then sinoli ng CEM. It could be you. Nabasa ko lang kse dito sa thread. So just to confirm, sinend mo ung pp mo sa CEM without sending the additional requested docs? Kse in our case, sinend ni husband ang passport together with the Appendix A and information about sa mother ng child ng husband ko. So I'm thinking, maybe the reason why sinoli ang passport mo was because you did not comply with other requirements. Correct me if I'm wrong... Pano mo sinend ung additional docs sa CEM? May tracking number ka ba to confirm kung nareceive ng CEM ung sinend mo?

Hello Mhikyla12

Kasi ung attached doc sa email is appendix A tapos ung file name is "passport request" tapos hndi pa pala. yun pala nasa email tlga kung ano ang kailanga. Sinauli ung passport ko kasi inemail ko sila to follow up not until may isang nagpost dto na nag-advise na i-check ung email tapos nung binasa namin ulit, ayun andun nga lahat.

Sinend nyo na ba ang pp ni hubby mo? tapos sinoli? o hindi nmn?

I see. Yes sinend na ni husband ang pp nya kahit appendix A pa lang ang nirequest ng CEM. Hindi sinoli ng CEM ang passport. It's been 2 months na nasa possession nila ang pp ni hubby. Application received pa din ang status on ecas.

Hello Everyone!!!!


Sino po January applicant dito?

Ask ko lang po yung progress sa inu. DM na po ba kayo? In process pa rin po ako.

Still patiently waiting..

Ano po yung balita sa January applicant jan?

Sana maging okay na lahat.

God bless us all...


Hello. I'm a January applicant. And VOH na ako nung July 28,2015 pa. Do pray for Gods will to be done in you. I'm sure he will soon give what you ask in prayer in his perfect time. Don't loose hope and continue to do what he ask of you while you wait for his answer. I will pray for you.

Hello. Thank you so much. I really praise God for this. Actually I didn't receive any DM from my email. I only asked the CEM once- when will they give back my passport with visa. And they just replied it's still in process. Then after that I did pray and pray and pray. Left it all to Gods hands. But also I need to be sensitive how God wants me to use my time in waiting cause it's really frustrating when you feel you've been waiting for so long and there's no progress yet. And as I had that changed of heart and succumb to it. I was no longer focus in waiting impatiently. But waited patiently and productively. It will soon be given by our God whatever we ask of him especially to our fellow forum mates. And will be praying for you too and everyone else for Gods perfect will be done in everyone. I believe whatever you have missed out in giving or you got confused with something it's always with a purpose. And God will show that to you that it's for your own good too.

Congrats Gratefulavender!!!! Thank you for your wonderful inspiring message. CEM has my wife passport, appendix A, and AOM since July 20, 2015. Our status till this day still shows application receive. You're right all we can do is to stay positive, be patient and keep praying to God. It's a frustrating process since you don't know exactly when will it be done. Thank you for sharing a positive message.

Praise God kyo9000 I really told myself when I get my visa. I will signing up in this forum to help out those who are in waiting by praying and trying to answer questions I know and give some words of encouragement.
This forum helped me a lot to observe when my visa will come out. I did base my waiting with Ppr from the time it was sent back to CEM. I just noticed it's like 2-3 months of waiting period most of the people I've seen when we all get our VOH.
For me I thought it will take 3 months but it only took 2 months which is a pleasant surprise. But I always believe that God has everything under his control. He knows what's the perfect time to be with our love ones and we need to settle everything we need to leave behind here in the Philippines. So all we need to do is trust him. Have faith that he has the best plan for us.
