@basia - I only receive application in progress. We're applying for 309/100. Lodgement date 18 May 2018. I think this email is automated default once you reached your 12 months na 'received' lang ang status.
"Your application takes time to process as we complete a number of thorough checks"
Gaano pa po ba katagal yang 'thorough checks' ?? that is if they are checking now? Another 12 months?
