hi, yung sa sg police clearance almost 1 month yung process. wala naman ng question yung gov dito sg nor yung SG police as long na may letter galing DIAC.
1. Magpapadala yung DIAC ng request letter para sa sg police clearance.
(sa agent namin pinadala yung request letter then finorward sa amin nung agent)
2. pag meron ka na nung request letter apply ka ng appeal sa SG police para sa Cert of Clearance (COC).
(mga 1 week duration nito bago lumabas yung result ng appeal pag positive yung appeal dun ka pa lang mag apply ng COC.
Basta may letter from DIAC usually positive naman ang result ng appeal since may kasunduan na yung SG and OZ dto.)
3. pag positive yung appeal, apply na ng COC sa SG police (2 weeks yung inabot samin bago nila npdl sa DIAC yung COC). Yung SG police na din ang magpapadala sa DIAC thru registered mail.
Agent namin dito SG is AUMigrate (www.aumigrate.com), James Alan Hall name nung agent. SGD3900 yung binayad namin sa kanya. Dapat dito na lang kayo kumuha ng agent at least pwede nyo mapuntahan ng personal if ever may question or my worries kayo.
