she also said they are already doing some background check on all april applicants. they are hoping to make a decision in the coming weeks. i guess everyone will just have to wait a few more weeks.

regarding the 3 month target, girl said they are doing their best to meet that. while there are additional applicants coming from korea, japan, hong kong, etc, priority are filipino applications. :-) hope this gives a little encouragement to those who've been waiting for long weeks now! :-) my sister and her hubby were happy to know this at the very least.

Every little update helps! Thanks for sharing!
