    All: Today received email from may CO asking for my wife's TOR and our PCC.

    @hotshot same tayo CO -HL : )....kamusta naman experience mo mabilis ba?
    email ko ka agad TOR ni Mrs sa kanya, received electronic response na they will answer after 7 days.
    ayun! may kapareho pala ako ng CO. yup mabilis sya pero parang hindi sya approachable. isang tanong, isang sagot lang sya sa emails pero mabilis naman sya when it comes to processing and that's what matters most. hehehe. kami kasi dati, FBI clearance na lang ng wife ko ang kulang namin. actually, yun lang talaga nagapatagal ng application namin. hahaha! ayun, pagkasend namin ng scanned copy ng clearance ng gabi, kinabukasan ng umaga, nakuha na namin ang matamis nyang "oo". :)

    Ang ganda ng thread na to ahhh..ako share ko din ang experience ko sa CO.. masasabi ko I'm one of the luckiest of having her.

    First nag email CO ko sakn i'm on my honeymoon pa.. she emailed me telling that my nomination had already been approved and asked me kng kailan ako babalik pra dw ma finalise nya ung visa.. so nagreply namn ako kaagd ng date, den after 5 minutes my reply agad sabi ok ifafanalise ko ung visa mo sa ganitong date.. sympre sobrang tuwa ko prang gus2 ko na kaagad bumalik ng OZ, akalain mo namn my binigay na date kng kailan nya e grant.. so nagreply ako na thank u sabay sabi na I got married.. nagreply namn kaagad, sabi nya dahil ngpkasal ka hndi pa natin ma fafanalise visa mo.. instead prepare dis documents pra maisama sya sa application mo as ur dependent.. at nagreply ako, is that possible na mainclude sya sa visa.. c co reply namn kaagad na ofcourse, just submit the documents needed and I will give u a further instructions after u completed.. prang ka chat ko lg c fb c CO sa bilis ng reply nya.. Kami namn prang ayaw ng tapusin ang honeymoon, gusto ng umuwi pra ma process na lahat ng documents.. everytime ma complete namin lahat ng hinihingi nya, nag eemail talaga sya na thank u for complying the documents at bigay kaagad ng checklist kng anu namn ang next.. eto pa ang maganda, nung nag holiday sya ng 5days inemail nya ko na she will be on leave on this inclusive dates na just in case dw mag email aq sa knya mag rereply lg dw sya pag nasa ofis na sya.. oh dba bongga ng CO..

    siguro pag ibang CO ang nkahawak ng application ko, hindi cguro naisama c hubby ko sa application.. kaya hulog talaga ng langit samin ang CO ko..
