Anyway, I noticed kasi sa signature mo Sept. 2010 pa kayo naglodge for 175. Way behind na sa allocated applications ni DIAC. June 2011 na pina-process nila. Nag-PLE ka na ba to followup? If not, I highly suggest you do so. Meron sa kabilang forum nag-follow up sya or tumawag ata sya sa DIAC. After a few hours, visa granted na sya.
