Mukang remed yan sayo iay.. Masyado maaga yung medical mo para sa pag submit ng application eh 6 months yung layo .. Kasi tingin ko if mag ka early ppr ka man .. Late july pa lalabas or early august which is wala nang enough time para sa waiting period from ppr to visa .. If they would make you an exemption unfair din sa iba .. But who knows diba

Yun na nga bro. I'm preparing myself for that na :D
Just taking chances, kasi it did happen around last April and May.

Anyway, preparing for the worst, still hoping for the best! :p

Yeah bro! But do you think CEM knows the word "fairness"? They are only concerned about their statistics. Last April and May, they have been calling applicants who's medicals are expiring, so they'd be able to beat the statistics and not fall behind the processing times. They love "cherry picking" applications. As sad as it may sound, it really is the deal in CEM.

Anyway, we're almost getting there. :)

Hindi yan bro :) nakita ko post mo sa kabilang thread. It's ok bro, minor lang yan, alam naman nila na siya ung sponsor mo eh. Ang big deal is kapag may anak ka or kapatid na hindi nailagay.

Relax lang, magiging ok din yan! :)

I agree! Nung April and May napakaunfair ang cem dahil inuna nila yung magexpire ang medical .3 months before maexpire yung medical mo may visa ka na.pero ngayon nagbago na sila.Lahat nang nagkappr humahaba ang waiting para magkavisa. Before kahit na sa december applicant pa sila makareceive sila nang visa dahil dun sa meds expiration nila.lalabas talaga ang visa nila before 3 months magexpire ang meds nila. But Im still hoping na bilisan na nila pagrelease nang visa para naman hindi na sila magback logs dun sa 2012 applicant at makapagfocus na sila sa 2013 applicants.

Kagaya din nang dati binibilisan nila ang pagrelease nang visa kapag malapit na ang expiration nang meds. Tatawagan or magemail sila sa inyo na magdala nang booking certificate at passport dun mismo sa office nila at marelease yung visa in one day due to medical expiration.

hehehe..sana nga sis . Im still hoping na by the end of this month may visa na due to my medical expiration.Remember nun ibang applicant before 3 months expiration nang medical nila lalabas na ang visa nila pero depende pa din sa case kung complete ba ang mga requirements na binigay mo sa kanila. Sana maibalik nila yung dating procedure nila .hehehehe

I want to share my time line until now still waiting if approve or not.

In my case, I sponsored my 2 kids 16 and 19 y/o at the time. They received their application for permanent residence on February 2012. Decision made on May 2012 about the application. Completed all the requirements even the medical. Passport request on July 2012 and sent the passport August 2012 until Last week of JANUARY 2013 I DIDN'T hear anything what is the status. so, I made an Inquiry 4th week of January 2013. I check my eCAS and found,

We started processing application on February 21, 2013.

2nd week of March 2013 I received an email regarding additional requirements (update family information) to get another NBI and to do the MEDICAL again and done on the 25 March 2013 and the guard on duty received the additional requirements on the same day.

So far, my children are waiting. I even sacrifice not to enroll my youngest for the trimester (summer) because I assume they will receive their passport last april. THEY TOOK THEIR PASSPORT 08 AUGUST 2012. about to 9 months hold the passport.
finally got the visas for my kids.
Take note of this: DM when i checked on July 1 on eCAS but in the passport it was on 25 June. I wait until after 12 July 2013 no passport/visas yet then i emailed CEM,and replied me on monday 15 July (Phil Time) that they sent on 02 July thru WWWExpress in Isabela and they gave me the TRACKING NUMBER. The PASSPORT/VISAS had been sitting in WWWEXPRESS SANTIAGO CITY, ISABELA SINCE 03 JULY (1 HOUR DRIVE TO MY CHILDREN). SO I CALLED (FROM CANADA) THE HEAD OFFICE IN MANILA. ACCORDING TO THE WOMAN I SPOKE, THAT'S THEIR AGREEMENT. NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. BUT WHY THEY DON'T BOTHER TO CALL YOU OR LET US KNOW THAT THE PASSPORT/VISAS ARE IN THEIR POSSESSION. email addresses, phone numbers are all in the application i'm pretty sure the embassy gave that info.
anyways, be aware just incase you are already DM in your application in permanent residence in eCAS. they used the courier in returning all the docs. after 3 days not yet arrive email the CEM right away.

dont worry bro.Sa tingin ko nakadepende parin sila sa medical expiration until now. Did you see the spreedsheet? Dun sa october batch marami ang medical expiration na september at some of them lumabas yung visa nila nung june kasi they will release the visa 3 to 2 months before maexpire yung medical mo at depende din yan kung complete application ka and easy lang yung case ninyo. Sa tingin ko dito sa case natin since October maexpire yung medical natin meron makakatanggap nang visa this month of july then continue to August . Meron din dun sa october batch na wala pang visa dahil yung medical nila ay october pa maexpire at si visa officer nagfocus muna dun sa september meds expiration pero Sa tingin ko magstart na sila next week dun sa october meds expiration magbigay nang visa.
