Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea!

I went back here in the Philippines last November because my mother got sick. Dapat 45 days vacay lang ako dito satin pero hindi na ako bumalik. Tatanungin ko lang po lung idedeclare ko pa ba un sa application ko na nagSaudi ako? Iinvestigate pa ba nila un? Is it important to/not to inidicate that one?

  @bebengau .. I think (if I'm not mistaken) sa 112 is ung sa 'signature of the student' pipirma if ikaw ung main applicant.. ung other boxes maybe are for those included in your application..
  
  Yes certified true copy lahat.. but ako original ung nso na pinasa ko and employment cert..
  
  Hope this helps.. hindi ako nag-agent kaya don't fully rely dito.. baka lang makatulong konti Goodluck
