Question po ulit dear batchmates... sorry mejo madami nangangapa po kasi ako sa procedure. DIY po kasi ako alang agent ganyan...
1. As per my ACS kasi all my employment after 2008 is considered.
Employer 1 - 2006-2012
Employer 2 - 2012-2016
For the above kasi if you notice sa Employer 1, yung 2006 to 2007 is not considered.
Yung 2008-2012 yung considered sa Employer 1.
Sa EOI ko hindi ko na breakdown na under Employer 1, 2006-2007 as not related and
2008-2012 as related. So now, nagfifill up ako ng sa immiAccount, hindi ko po alam if
dapat ba ibreakdown ko na? Would it matter?
In terms of points naman pareho parin yung claim. It's just that hindi ko lang sha na
breakdown nung sa EOI.
2. Yung ACS results po ba hindi na need iupload?
3. Yung mga NBI, Form 80 and Form 1221 dapat na din ba agad agad iupload? Or wait till a
CO advises you to upload?
4. Tama ba? pdeng mag magpamedical na and mag police clearance even if dpa
nagbabayad ng visa?
5. Sa EOI ko kasi hindi ko nilagay yung middle name ko. Since Family Name and Given
Name lang yung input boxes dun. Sa immiAccount ba dapat iadd ko ang middle name ko
like iappend ko ba ang middle name ko under my Given Name? or just follow yung sa EOI?

Hi once you have lodged your visa application you will receive an aclniwledgement letter naka lagay lahat dun ng names ng applicant yun ang gagamitin mo in applying SG COC.
With regards to medical you only need to know your HAP id no. And referral letter na marereceive mo din once nag lodge ng visa.
