    @omeng22 Sa amin din hiningan kami ng CTC ng passport details sabi sa amin sa NSO kukunin. ang weird diba sa DFA yun?. eto exactly sinabi;

    "Certified copy of your passport personal particulars/photo (bio-data) page --issues by the National Statistics Office"

    Pinapa clarify pa namin sa CO pero nagpakuha na kami ng CTC ng passport sa DFA assuming mistake nga ng CO. Pero ang tagal din kumuha ng CTC sa DFA, 2 weeks eh

    kakatawag ko lang sa DIBP.

    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. :|

    @aikee888 true. i think yan ung standard na gusto nila i-align para ma set ang expectations. though may mga ibang case officer na medyo masipag. less than 28 days after CO contact, binabalikan agad ang file.

    @prcand iba iba talaga per CO, ang lungkot lang na di man lang nila tinignan kahit isang beses yung files with the last 2 months. Ang kinakatakot ko lang is baka pag tingin nila ulit ay may hingin pa sila or isang mahabang checks na naman. sana yung first 2 weeks nacheck na nila lahat at kung ano man yung hiningi before yun lang talaga kulang.

    @aikee888 ganyan din cnbi skin last n ngffup aq nung Apr22. Wait 28days after they requested for docs then wait for another 4-6weeks pa daw. Pro ung previous CO sbi skin a couple (2wks) of wks for the CO to get back to you after the 28days passed. Sana nga ok na ung docs na last submitted natin.
