    paano pong overpayment? like si partner kasi may credit card sya. 30K lang ata ang max nya kasi ayaw nya na mag exceed. if mapapamax namin to 100K. tapos visa namns nasa 200K.. kung mag overpayment kami, 100K yung overpayment tama ba? or dapat mag advance bayad sya sa card ng 100K. para pag ginamit, lalabas pa din 100K lang ang nagamit? kasi may bayad na agad ung CC?

    @jigs88 sa tingin ko dapat sa isang immiaccount lang both ang health declaration at yung visa application. I think ang ginawa mo is before ka nagka invite, gumawa ka na ng immiaccount. If that's the case, try mo na lang i-import yung application mo dun sa isa para isang immiaccount na lang.

    Medical will only take a day. About 1-2 hrs lang. then results will be available in 2-5 days.

    @rich88 pg rcv ko ng ita, gumawa ako ng immiaccnt..then i saw my health dec..if e submit ko yun mka generate ako ng referral letter & hap id (i think) taps yun e bigay ko sa clinic..but since 4 kmi, baka ma tagalan pg update( ksdi dba sa prang ang AU ang mg clear nun??) so we're planning ako na lng muna since ako main..then pg okay na sakin, saka kmi proceed to lodge then dun ko na sla e include..lodge visa, frontload docs then mg medical na dn sla until mg contact si CO..so pwede kaya yun na later ko nlng sla e include sa visa application??baka lng ksi mg taka sla, kasi sa my health dec, ng ask dn dun if my additional applicants..

    additional quest: pg ng pa medical need ba talaga referral letter & hap id??or pwede na yun Transaction record number (TRN)??

    @MayoMay pwede ata e arrange sa bank regarding yung credit limit..sa akn ksi debit savings..

    @jigs88 bro IMO, sa health declarations pa lang kelangan mo na i-declare lahat ng dependents na isasama mo sa application mo. Iwas na rin sa complication.

    Pwede mo naman sila i-sunod sa application before ka ma-grant. Take note na hindi ka na pwedeng mag dagdag pa ng additional dependant applicants once granted na ang visa mo.

    For me, hindi advisable yang gagawin mo because it doesn't make any sense. Kahit mauna ka mag clear, hindi pa rin uusad ang application mo kasi yung mga dependents mo hindi pa cleared sa medical. Gagawin mo pang komplikado yung application mo kasi mauuna kang mag apply tapos mag eemail ka pa sa CO na mag dadagdag ka ng applicants. In my experience, sabay naman kami nag clear ng wife ko.

    Payo lang brad, wag mo na gawing komplikado yung buhay mo. Sa simula pa lang, i-declare mo na lahat ang dapat mong i-declare.. isama mo na lahat ng gusto mong isama sa application mo. Bottom line is, hindi ka magkaka-grant unless mag clear kayong lahat..

    Sa requirements naman for medical, i-print mo lang yung referral letter after mo i-submit yung health declaration.

    @jillpot hello po, pwede po maki sabay ng pag process kumuha ng UAE PCC from SG? Si misis kelangan din kasi kumuha.

    Congrats sa ITA!

    Kelan nyo balak mag-process ng UAE PCC? Though nasa business trip pa si hubby, baka pagbalik pa nya maasikaso.

    Basta ang alam ko na process is 1)Fingerprinting sa CID 2) MFA to legalise fingeprints 3) Pay fees in UAE Embassy

    Paconfirm na lang sa nakapag-process na ng UAE PCC here in SG. Thank you.

    @jillpot hello po, pwede po maki sabay ng pag process kumuha ng UAE PCC from SG? Si misis kelangan din kasi kumuha.

    Congrats sa ITA!

    Kelan nyo balak mag-process ng UAE PCC? Though nasa business trip pa si hubby, baka pagbalik pa nya maasikaso.

    Basta ang alam ko na process is 1)Fingerprinting sa CID 2) MFA to legalise fingeprints 3) Pay fees in UAE Embassy

    Patulong na lang sa nakapag-process na ng UAE PCC here in SG. Thank you.
    Im closely tailing your conversation about sa PCC UAE in SG. katatawag ko lang sa UAE embassy in SG na kailangan munang mag-email sa [email protected] attention to Officer Scanif para magpasched ng appointment sa kanila then indicate kung urgent. Im not really sure kung ano ang procedure since di pa naman ako naka-receive ng ITA ngayon, so di ko na muna inusisa ung whole process. God bless sa applications niyo.
