    @d_thugcydal ang naalala ko date ng medical and hap id lng ata required, ang nilagay ko is un date kung kelan kmi nagpunta sa clinic. Wait nlng ntin ssbihin ng mga nauna na nag-lodge. As for the clearance nman ng medical, un samin ni-lodge ko na although dpa cleared un sa daughter ko, pero mdyo iba din kasi un case nya. Initially, plan ko tlga wait ma-clear samin lahat pero since mtgal pa hhntayin nun sa daughter ko, ni-lodge na nmin. I think wla nman yata problem with that. Pero ikaw kung mahhntay mo pa, mas ok din nman na cleared na lahat para sure na din.

    @d_thugcydal : sa case namin hinintay ko muna macomplete kaming lahat before lodging -- which we will do tonight. Medyo natagalan nga lang dahil sa CNY last week, pero preferred namin na completed na kaming lahat before lodging.

    @maren1026 : sa "details" portion, nilagay nyo yung "visit date" sa clinic? No need na ba for the details nung tests? hehe yun ang plan ko ilagay sana.

    To clarify: is it something like:
    visit date: 21 Jan 2017
    submission date (to DIBP): 01 Feb 2017

    Hi Guys,

    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

    @maren1026 ah ok. kung location at date lang ilalagay dun sa "give details" portion. Pwede na siguro ako maglodge. Kala ko kasi need pa result. Thanks.

    @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.

    @PCK be consistent lang sa address. Kung ano na lang nasa NBI mo. Pero make sure yung din ilalagay mo sa ibang forms (like form 80). Pero dapat sa simula pa lang eh new address mo na (house a).

    For address ng employer, kung ako yung nasa coe gagamitin ko just to be consistent. But again, make sure yun ilalagay mo sa lahat ng kailangan sagutan.

    Just my opinion :)

    Hello po madam and sirs,

    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!

    Hi po sa naka visa grant na. tanong lang po sa EOI na part. Yong companies nyo ba na medyo mahaba ang name at di magkasya, ano po ginawa nyo? I tried pero di talaga kasya ang DENR, DSWD at CFSI so these acronyms nalang nilagay ko. ok lang kaya ginawa ko?

    Hi everyone! I'm still waiting to get an ITA, but wanted to get a head start with the documents required. Yes, I'm claiming it na na makakakuha ako ng invite (believe and claim it and it will be yours!) and hopefully makasabay sa inyo for the Feb batch yay. Anyway, question(s) sana :)

    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 :)
