Baka may konting discrepancy lang sa Evidence of Work Experience tsaka sa Form 80 data mo? O baka na-random check ka lang at gusto nilang kontakin yung previous employer/s for verification. Konting hintay na lang...

Hi icebreaker1928, my son is 2yrs and 10mos old, hindi pa kasi sya nagsasalita, he only knows a few words, nung nagpamedical kami the doctor assessed him, tinatanong sya hindi sya sumasagot, sabi nung doctor, bakit hindi pa nagsasalita eh at his age dapat he can already say phrases. nilagay nung doctor ung findings nya dun sa medical namin and sinend sa AU. Then AU doctor requested us to see a developmental pediatrician or psychologists to assess him and the result of the assessment is autism. Basis is that he is delayed in speech, social interaction is poor, he has repetitive actions and his eye contact is very short. Everything was done here in SG. We are planning to seek a second opinion in the Philippines pag-uwi namin next month. Mas may tiwala pa din ako sa mga doctors sa atin.
Bothered lang ako if makaka-apekto ba ito sa application namin. Sana hindi. Our faith is in the Lord.

Sa case namin, may dalwang PCCs kaming kelangang i-meet. So the status looks something like this:
Character Requirements Penal Clearance Certificate - Required
Overseas penal clearance certificate 2 - Required
So baka yung "Met" status na nakikita mo is only for the uploaded NBI clearance. Check mo yung status ng isa pang required PCC.

Good luck sa mga nagpa-process pa ng application.
