Question -- tama ba na yung attachments for "Health, Evidence of" ay if the CO will require any additional documents/tests lang? So if nakalagay naman sa "View Health assessment" ko ay: "Health clearance provided - no action required", no need na to attach anything? Tama po ba?

Pero reason ba ito for rejection? Meron po ba dito or meron kyong kakilala na may same situation ko? Nakapag lodge na kme ng 190 visa pero wla pa kmeng medical and PCC. Advise kse ng agent na hintayin daw namin na mag request and case officer at ibigay ang HAP ID before proceeding.
Medyo concerned kse ako. Thanks in advance.
