    Thanks guys :) @eun08 @xteen091 @jedh_g @cinnamon20 @archbunki @downunder15 @pedrosg @icel527 @fi0na03 @jencandysweet

    Dami namin naging worries pero hindi naman naging issue such as :
    a. Incomplete payslips
    b. Multiple EOI due to change of plan from EOI- Single to EOI-De facto/visa lodged married
    c. NBI still reflecting single status
    d. Marriage Certi (not NSO copy) and incorrect address in marriage certi
    e. Health Exam - mau UTI kasi si misis
    f. Form 1023:incorrect info in lodged visa application affecting work experience points

    Minsan wag masyadong magisip nakakapraning- walang magandang maidudulot satin. Prayer is always our best weapon. Godbless everyone.

    @icel527 Yes, you will receive an email once CO is assigned to you, since wala ka pang CO better to upload all docs that may be required from you para kapag nakareceive ka ng email direct grant na kaagad =)

    @icel527, sa case ko naka-"Application Received" lang siya pero nung nagemail, request na agad ng CO ung nakalagay. saka lang nagpalit ng status. so I assume nagprocess na siya even without changing the status.

    @se29m sir, tanung lng po sa points computation, passing point po kasi sa IELTS for EA is LRWS is 6, dapat po ba eh 7 makuha para maabot yung treshold na 60 for the EOI visa 189?
    or ok na yung 6 as long as pasado ako sa assessment ng EA? salamat!,
