    hello guys, medyo nacoconfuse po kame sa ginawa namen, sana may makatulong uli..

    nagfillout and submit na po kame ng myHealthDeclaration application, and naggenerate na ng referral letter along with the hap id in it (for primary), ang pagkakaalam ko po, one hap id lang shared for both primary and dependent, but different referral letter..
    --- nung in-organise ko po ung sa dependant's health to get my own referral letter, naggenerate uli siya ng sariling hap id :( tama po ba to?

    when i was checking po yung myApplicationsSumary -> NewApplication, I couldn't find po yung 189/190 sa SkilledMigration section pati sa ibang sections. I'm thinking kung
    visa lodge na ba yung sinubmit ko, pero it doesn't make sense kasi ang application type nya is MyHealthDeclaration.
    --- after matapos ang health exam, and finally maglodge na kame, san po namen i-aapply yung 189/190 kung hindi po namen siya makita sa options sa newApplication?

    I hope malinaw po questions ko.. cautious lang po and
    natatakot ako na baka mali na pala ginagawa ko.. salamat guys!

    Hi @eujin! Nung time na naggegenerate rin kami ng HAP ID sobrang litong lito rin kami, kaya panay rin ang tanong namin dito sa forum. Hehe!

    Anyway, sa pagkakaintindi ko sa mga questions mo:
    1) 1 HAP ID per person.
    2) May kanya kanyang transaction reference numbers ang My Health Declarations and ang Visa Application mo.

    Let's wait for the inputs of others too.
