Naku! Kakainip talaga yan kapag parating inaantay. Ako ata after 2 months nun naglodge kami, mga Sept dun na ko parating nagche-check. Yun din kasi yung time na sobrang bilis ni DIAC sa 175. Meron silang naprocess na 3 months in 2 weeks time. Ngayon bumagal. Suggestion ko hanap ka muna ibang mapaglilibangan. Nood ng mga tv series, mag-bike buong araw, libangin ang sarili sa trabaho, magbasa ng mga nobela, magantsilyo. Hahaha! Ako nililito ko muna sarili ko sa pagbabasa ng Game of Thrones.

Actually pwede na po and even medical pwede na din. Kaya lang it will affect your initial entry date. NBI clearance is valid only for 1 year and I think same with your medical. Yung ibibigay sa'yo ni DIAC na initial entry date is date before ma-expire NBI clearance mo or yung medical mo, whichever expires first. Then pag inabutan pa sya ng expiration ng wala ka pang CO, uulitin mo pareho. Pero the best thing na masusuggest ko is apply kayo ng NBI or pamedical kayo mga 2 weeks to a month based sa estimated nyo na magkaka-CO kayo. Malalaman nyo naman if malapit na based sa updates ni DIAC on the allocation dates.
