thanks for the reply erik

did they ask your friend for additional documents after they sent back his application to him.?

what are you trying to say highstool hero?

that a stamp 4 LTR is not exempt from business permission?
you have stamp 4 LTR for five years and you set up your own business and you have to let INIS know about this andafter that they gave you trouble?

stamp 4 for five years looks like long term residency 2009 - 2014.

Musta kabayan! its better getting a return ticket, there are some Americans being sent back because they have one way ticket.

There is a travel agency in Middle Abbey St. sometimes they can arrange for a cheap return Philippine ticket.

In the end its cheaper to get a two way ticket.

from previous posts here, you can still get approval if you have points exept if you were caught drunk driving or driving without insurance.

I have 2 points myself beating red light. Im waiting for my naturalisation
another guy here got approval with points on his license.

yep I have Irish son, but my application is not fastracked. Im still waiting for them to ask me additional documents even.

but I remember immigrantone's case, hes been asked for addional docs July 2009 and only after 2 weeks he got his approval. I dont know how they do it in LTR but most of my friends who got theirs like a year ago, has to wait for their approval nearly 2 months after additional docs have been asked. - ...
