It is not, but if you have one, you can submit it. Luckily I have it in me the day of my interview. @karlito

Yes, the processing is too long they were just asking about the documents, verifying it. annoying? not so...hahaha shes ok:)

SAK authorization is not needed for the visa application, but it would be a plus point if you have it. I think SAK has shortened it's processing time now that they require you to pay for authorization first before submitting your documents and of course if you have a complete set of documents. I sent my documents end of June 2013, and I got my authorization today, the processing is pretty fast.

Really huh i thought it will take you 6 months to have the authorization.. wow that's good to hear. anyway i just also passed mine today (n_n)

:) I think it all depends on how complete you documents are, so that it would be faster for them to process. I also emailed them regarding follow-up on my documents if they received it or not, when they replied they asked for my case handling fee. I was confused since, I already included it together with my documents, i think they lost it. =_= or misplaced it or something, so they asked me for another copy and i sent it via email. So guys, it's better to follow-up on your documents every once in awhile

If I got my authorization last 2011, how many years it will expired? My email: [email protected].. Thank you so much. ???

What bank did you used to pay the giro?

To: sub-urgs, as to your query on how much did I pay on my SAK application, it depends on the exchange rate of dollar on the day you pay and send your payment. I paid 273 US dollars plus bank charges (roughly Php 13,000). Notary Public charge differently, others may charge you per page /document while others charge collectively. I actually inquired from at least 3 notary publics to compare their charges because it's quiet expensive most especially if you have lot of documents to be notarized/ authenticated. Fortunately, the attorney / lawyer was kind and considerate enough to charge me Php 450.00 for all my documents (TOR, RLE, diploma, certificates etc).

To: mjmj, i filed my application last May and until now there's no result / feedback yet. I read from the Norwegian embassy website which they last updated sometime last June 24 or 26 that the processing time for residence permit to learn the Norwegian language takes longer than before, its says that it will take about 5 months now specifically for applicants from the Philippines.

What bank did you used to pay for the giro?
