Waiting for 5 weeks already. This is absurd.

Looks like it’s going to be a big refund of all application fees. Utter disappointment and disbelief.

Would you please be able to check if my application is processing as it should?

Officers can work from home instead of delaying processing for 2 months no?

In reply to - Teresa Mutiara Yussi Yuanari posted an update Hi, may I ask if emgs knows when immigration will start to continue processing VAL applications?

EMGS is now asking me to leave the country just to apply for the student pass I already applied for 11 months ago!

Everybody is online these days, why not EMGS?! No phones or laptops back home?

Too bad that the recent covid clusters are now resulting into the old flow charts as seen on EMGSs facebook (where ‘new’ students were allowed in) of just a few weeks ago to be thrown out…

The striking question now is; I have been studying online for…[Read more]

After seeing pictures on the EMGS Division-Facebook of a recent respectable meeting with Imigresen, I was sincerely curious to hear if there was a moment to convey the struggles of all the students affected by this ‘solution’ of online education, and if there was any feedback shared on the matter coming from Imigresen.

Thank you, and…[Read more]
