Hi All, I posted how I got my visa here, now going to post how I got my OEC as direct. The most important document to get OEC is the red ribbon (not the cake) POLO authenticated contract. My employer handled this, there will be exchange between both office primarily to get correct wording on the contract. In my case ginawa ni employer is 2 pages of addendum na lang. My document was directly fedexed to me by POLO, all in all this took 1 month. Next is prepare the ff: resume, authenticated passport page by lawyer, affidavit on how you got the job, autheticated diploma/TOR by lawyer (not deped), company profile, certificationn of employment from a previous employer (kahit isa lang), waived medical since AU, visa grant, insurance with repatriation benefit, PEOS certificate (you can do this online). Punta kayo sa 2nd floor ng POEA sa ortigas, be there 730am, they open at 8am para una sa pila. Also make sure you have 2 duplicate copies of all the docs. Assuming walang kulang (pag marin they wont process your papers), they will accept the docs and tell you to wait for 3-5 days for approval. This approval will appear on POEA site on the approved direct hire list. As soon as lumabas, print this list (again 2 copies), you need to go there (with all your docs with 2 copies) for PDOS, now if I remember correctly, AU seminar is done only on Tuesdays and Thursday at 9AM. Do not be late! You will need to pay a little over 6K, the payment receipt is the OEC itself. If you do it right, you only need to make 2 appearance, one is submit complete docs and 2nd/last is to attend PDOS and payment. Hope this helps you get prepared.
