Anyway, buti na lang we were able to get an Endorsement Letter from our CO kaya naging smooth ang transaction namin. It is a formal letter addresses to the SPF. Kaya I suggest to get that letter para wala ng aberya.
Hubby's going to pick-up the COC on Mar 5.
NBI clearance na lang kulang namin.

1. No need na mag set ng appointment, basta lang ppunta sa Cantonment M-F before 8am (?) para pumila.
2. Bring all required docs. Minsan nakakalusot ang visa summary lang, minsan kelangan talaga letter from CO. Tanong, eto lang po ba ang required docs:
a. Visa documents
b. Passport and photocopy of passport
c. Work pass and employment contract (old copies and current)
d. 2pcs passport photo - kelangan po ba ito?
For item b&c, all documents that would serve as proof ng stay dito sa sg.
3. After 2weeks makukuha ang COC. Either Persona ang pagclaim or thru proxy.
4. Pwede ang visa applicant ang magsend sa dibp thru color scan copy or Sg police ang magsend thru mail sa dibp.
