Repost ko lang sana may makasagot.
Question lang, di na kasi namin idedeclare as house address ung present (House A) namin kasi kakalipat lang namin nung July tapos wala kaming nakaaddress na any bills dub. Nasa House B lahat which is bahay ng in law ko.
Problem is, ung sa PTE ko pala ung contact info address ko is House A. Pero nilagay ko sa NBI is House B. Although same subdivision naman sila both.
Declare ba namin si House A? Or ok lang ub? Chineck ko kasi ung test report ni PTE wala naman dun address mismo.
Additionally po, ung 2 companies ko kasi for some reason, iba ung stated office address sa actual address ng office. Ano ilalagay ko sa form 80? Kumbaga dun sa COE ko, address A nakalgay sa kanila pero in reality ang office namin is sa office B. Q.Q

@towbee yun nga din iniisip ko kaso nung nagpunta kami sa Medical nung Friday para read yung skin test ng kids, sinabi naman nung nurse na cleared na daw and within the day update na nila. So assuming na namiss out lang isubmit yung sa youngest son ko. Follow-up ko ulit tom. Pero parang gusto ko na lodge ngayon para nakapila na. Heheh. Thanks sa advise.
@tweety11 wala ka ba nilagay dun sa Give Details portion? Sa taas kasi ng Hap ID nakalagay give details. Thanks.

Question po ah? bale po kasi na grant na po yung visa namin (God is great talaga) and na receive na din po namin ung grant notice. Then dun po sa grant notice na letter, meron po naka specify na you are required by the Commission of Filipinos Overseas(CFO) to attend the pre-departure seminar.
My question po is, need po ba talaga gawin un?
Thank you very much!

1. Most of the required docs were also required for the ACS assessment, can I use the same docs I submitted to ACS? I had my assessment last December lang, but my worry is that like for the Employment Reference/VOE, it was addressed to ACS. Or is it better to request for a new one na lang?
2. Should I submit ALL my payslips, ITRs, work contracts, etc? Or sample only?
3. All documents (except the police/nbi clearance) should be CTC/notarized po no? May other documents po ba sila na irerequire to be original lang?
Thanks in advance! God bless
