Ah ... yes :icon_rolleyes: ... feelings MOST of us here can identify with only too readily; :cwm25: hopefully, you won't be kept waiting much longer.

:iagree: ... having twice been, myself - and spent 3 months there the second time - I found the humidity was my only complaint.

Hello everyone :Wave:
I just want to update about my wife visa application.We provided all needed documents to support our visa,but ECO ask us to provide letter from my work,I did sent them that letter,we recived confirmation email from Manila that 'theyve got my document and forwarded to ECO.That was last monday-22 oct'12 so now we're waiting for email or any message about our visa.We applied on 9 august 2012 so its 11 weeks now.
I wonder if ECO can ask us agin to provide some documents or He'll make decision now? I reckon if ECO wants more documents from us,He will us ask to produce more documents together with letter from my work..well...thats my "reckon",but Im sure that they can do everything what they need to do :smile:
Have nice day all despite that foggy day :smile:

[Terpe]

Andrew,
I've notice that the ECO's are providing a reasonable customer service and asking folks to supply missing documents.

No offence intended here, but why didn't you submit that document with the application?

[Andrew1971]

Hello Tempre :smile: Thank You for message :smile:
We did submit letter from my work,but that letter didnt say about my salary and it was dated:01 march 2012 so maybe too old?I think that is why ECO ask us for another letter from my work,this time we provide with all details.
Please dont worry about asking me question:smile:
You said that U've lots of family in Pantukan.My wife is from Pantukan-Lahi.When I was there,we often did shoping in Pantukan market,there is my favorit cake shop....5 pessos per lovely yummy donut! :smile:
