    @thorVIRUS - still within processing days pa daw since I lodged last 24th May lang, but they will email me or call if the decision will be made, but I am wondering for the person who replied me? i think he/she is my CO :-/
    under her/his name got a PN***** unlike dun sa mga replied email walang PN*** under their name, I can feel those were just a customer officer only?
    bandang Blackburn ako..
