Usually naman na ni-fro-frontload, ayon sa threads, ay Form 80, Payslips, Police Clearance, Medical etc...
Karamihan sa mga na-gra-grantan ng maaga ay nag-fro-frontload na ng mga documents since wala nang kailangan pang requirements yung CO para i-grant ka ng Visa.
All the best mate!

Nandito rin ako sa Singapore at yung Police Clearance ko rito, nakapag-request ako maaga nung June 27, kahit wala pang referral letter from CO. Ang dinala ko lang ay yung Visa Summary/Confirmation from my ImmiAccount. Tinanggap naman nila. S$55 yung fee.
Sa July 18 ko makukuha yung sa akin. Try nyo rin na mag-apply na ng Police Clearance rito sa SG dahil mga 3 weeks ang processing nila.
