    Thanks @lecia @quantum @tmasuncion . My case is being handled by Brisbane. It requests the Form 815 which was already frontloaded earlier. Either, CO requests for Form 815 upon seeing the medical report and without reviewing the attachments, or they have to follow certain protocol.

    Just updated the signing date and immediately attached the form.

    For good measure, I left a feedback same day for the Department to streamline this particular step which has affected me and lots of others.

    Hi @superluckyclover . Thanks for asking. Form 815 is required from applicants who, from a layman's understanding, had follow up checks during the health assessment before being ultimately cleared, i.e not straightforward cleared. A Medical Officer of the Commonwealth (MOC) determines if an applicant needs to complete and sign Form 815. The CO just delivers that message.

    @zirko sir Environmental Engineer ka rin po pala. Possible po ba na makahingi ako ng CDR/CPD samples? Also, how was the processing timeline po for Envi Engineers? Mabilis po ba? Kakaunti lang kasi tayo,

    Hi @czianczia28! I'll send PM on CDR/CPD.

    I'm aware that there is certain bias towards other skills. From experience so far, Environmental Engineer appears to be at normal priority. Just right. :)

    Thanks @ms_ane . For many years, it has been a known fact that they really require the form for certain cases. Just curious what's stopping them from making it mandatory early on. It would save time and $$$ for both parties :)

    @zirko I agree. sometimes, not because a certain process is already in place e wala ng room for improvement yan. as we go along, certain rules and processes that are effective before may no longer be applicable today lalo na if may mga known issues na. sayang lang din talaga sa oras for both parties. sana nga e mapansin at gawan nila ng improvement yan:)
