Have any of the applicants lived in a country other than the primary applicant's usual country of residence? = No
Pero nagfill-up kasi ako ng form 80 tapos meron dun overseas travels. Meron kasi akong 5 entries na dineclare as work, pero ang pinakamatagal namang stay is wala pang 3 months.
1. Dapat ba dineclare ko itong YES? Ang reason for travel is business trip. Nalagay kong work sa form 80.
2. Pwede ba irevise ang form 80 once uploaded na?
Thanks

i have lodged my application last feb 24, 2015 and after submitting all necessary documents, i received a message from the CO and required me to fill up Form 80 with special note (exact note):
"It is noted that you have listed residence in the Philippines from February 2015 - November 2015. Have you been back to the Philippines after this time in hte last 10 years? Please complete the overseas travel and residences sections in particular"
what confuses me is the dates mentioned are future dates. Ano kaya ibig sabihin ng CO dito?
another question, anyone who tried to fill up form 80 but with incomplete travel details due to lost passport? kasi i lost 1 of my passports and i cannot recall the exact dates of the travels.. mga 2 years worth of travels din yun, should i inform the CO to explain? hahanapan kaya ako ng police report on the incident? kasi i have already disposed the police report kasi matagal na yun... mga 8 yrs ago.. unfortunately, required travels is from 10 yrs ago...
thanks a lot!

Question No. 42, Do you have a partner?
Well I am not sure whether I should put YES or just answer it as NO. I have a boyfriend and he is an Australian citizen living in Perth WA but I am worried that if I answer YES, they may question my intention to live in NSW (my nominated state).
What do you think? Is it okay to include or just answer NO to be safe?
Thank you all
