@wizardofOz bro, ang sabi kasi ng agent namin 4-8weeks daw ang processing ng medicals. sabi nya after 2months at wala pa eh magfollow-up na daw sila. pero sa lagay now na summer hotness ang panahon eh nakakainip ng magantay. haha kaya gusto kong kulitin yung agent na magfollow-up na this week. baka kasi narefer nga sa MOC ung medicals namin lalo na G6P deficient and baby namin. sa tingin mo bro? ipa-follow ko na sa kanya? salamat ulit.
