Nag lodged ako ng visa application under visa 190 state nomination Feb 23, 2017 CO contact ko according sa agent ko ay March 31, 2017 after that hndi na muna nag paramdam Case officer ko tapos September 11 may grant na almost 7 months kya kapit lng kau guys..
Sa nag tatanong kung ganu katagal ang waiting time after makapag lodge ng visa
application depende kc yun.. madaming factors pro nasa website nla yung time span sa visa 189 ata 6-10 months sa visa 190 nman 10-13 months. Nag uupdate cla dun sa website nla kya better to check it always from there.
