3. i'm currently applying for visa 189. may eoi na po ako last august
4. i'm planning to resign and terminate my DOST contract by paying the bond pag na-grant ung visa
5. kumuha ako ng NBI tapos may HIT ako. sa sept 20 ko daw balikan.
Makakakuha po kaya ako ng NBI clearance kahit wala pa akong DOST clearance?
Salamat po sa mga sasagot!
