    @jazmyne18 salamat :) ang hirap pala. Iniisip ko kasi kung ma 2nd Co contact, related sya sa 1st na hiningi or clarification ng sinubmit na required docs. Kung ganon pala... tatagal pala ang applicant. :-??

    @macdxb16 as much as possible, ibigay lang siguro lahat ng hinihingi nila. Yung isang nabasa ko, sa sobrang tagal niya, nag-expire ang medical kaya yun ang 4th CO contact niya, medical.

    @macdxb16 feb kami nag start mag process ng visa namin. I remember, march nag start yung mabagal na grant kasi yan din ung month na nagbawas ng manpower yung dibp. Mga housemates kong nauna na mag lodge ng before march. 10days lng na grant na sila. Malayo na ang 1month ung time na un. Ngayon, swerte kana kng maka 1month ka bago ma grant.

    I think possible dahil everytime na may nag rereview ng application mo iba ibang CO ang na aasign based sa experience ko.

    in my case.

    1st Contact (CO Cynthia)- Requesting for additional Employment evidence, Health Dec for child, Additional De facto Evidence, Consent for Child. (okay valid requests)

    2nd Contact (CO Lisa) - requesting for partner's evidence of functional English (nakapag submit nadin kami nito nung lodge palang nag resubmit lang kami ulit)

    3rd Contact (CO Cristy) - requesting new medical for daughter since nag expire na ung medical niya dahil umabot na ng 7 months ang waiting time namin.

    Right now, going 8 months na kami nag hihintay ng decision and hopefully wag na sana umabot pa next year.
