Naka take note pala dun kung kelan ka huling nag follow up so alam nila kung isang milyon beses ka na tumawag sa kanila haha in my case alam nila na tumawag ako 2 weeks ago hahaha.
Anyway, wala daw nagbago sa status ng application ko so tinanong ko kung kelan yung last na time na nacheck ng files ko yung CO, ang sabi last Feb 13 pa, di pa ulit nachecheck files ko ever since nag request sila ng docs huhuhu.
Normal processing daw is after they request files, they give you 28 days to submit then after that another 4-6 weeks for the case officer to come back and look at the files. Which basically means, 8-10 weeks after CO contact. Medyo sagad talaga nila yung 90 days na SLA nila.
A week or two pa siguro yung akin.
