Si @itchan dati I believe nag-follow up sya kse ka-batch namin sya tapos parang hindi umuusad ung application nya. Nauna pa yung ibang after nya magkaron ng CO kesa sa kanya. Alam ko nag-email sya tapos nag-reply naman ang DIAC. Have you tried emailing them first?
Pag di sumagot, saka natin isipin kung ano pang ways. Hiram ka sa mga kaibigan mong may magic jack ba yon? mas mura ata yung calls pag ganon eh. hehehe.

Kung mapapansin mo, yung mga nag-lodge July-December 2011 eh mejo matagal ang CO. Yung mga nag-lodge ng application ng April-June 2012 eh mabilis. SIGURO kse, may quota din silang hinahabol kaya ganon. Since kailangan nila mahabol yung quota before July 1, 2012, sabay sabay nagka-CO lahat ng nag-lodge ng application.
Yung ngayong system, di ko din sure yung logic kung pano mabilis at nde. Well, knowing your points, I think mas mabilis pag mas mataas ang points. Priority list kayo eh, kailangan mag-antay nung mga mababang points kse kayo muna bago sila. So ganon siguro ngyon..
P.S. lahat to ay opinyon ko lamang.. hehehe
God bless sayo
