Medyo weird po kasi yung case ko. Yung first time ko nag submit ng documents, after 2 days nireject nila halos lahat kasi kailangan daw ng CTC per page. Nag resubmit ako last Jan 7, and hindi pa din nagbabago yung status. Stuck pa din siya sa "Awaiting Documents". Normal lang po ba ito? Worried lang po kasi ako dun sa 30 day allowance nila sa pag submit ng documents.
Nag try na po ako mag email sa kanila, pero ever since, NEVER talaga sila sumasagot sa kahit anong inquiry ko. Ang sandalan ko lang, yung Application Status page, na hindi naman naguupdate Ano po kayang pwede gawin para malaman kung OK pa yung application? #deadlock

Tanong ko po kung kelangan pang isubmit ang hardcopies ng mga document sa ACS after mag apply for Skill assessment? May nakikita ako kc sa timeline ng iba na sinubmit nila ang mga copies ng documents nila thru Fedex. Required pa rin ba yan ngaun?
Thanks po!
