              Wow, so efficient and fast!

              For Philippine passport, need at least 6 weeks to process!

                micollh,


                Is your maid going to renew her contract for 2 years? Thought she is extending only for a few months till you find a new maid?

                  Perhaps U could :
                  Tell Her this Will be her Last Chance, Keep Her under Observation ....
                  Set Clear Boundary on What is totally not tolerated ....
                  If She Still Can't Toe the Line and Go Back to Her Old Ways, then u really gonna give her the sack ....
