    @tiggeroo ano po yung hiningan sainyo ng payslips? ung current job po ba?
    @ann_joli Ang hiningi ay for all claimed work experience lang, so kung sa application mo you are claiming 5 years work experience for 10 points, at least 5 years worth of payslips ang iprepare mo regardless kung palipat lipat ka ng employer. Quarterly naman ang hiningi, so hindi kelangan for every month meron, ang dami nun hehe

    @paulcasablanca1980 @jandm thanks po nang marami. sunod din kayo basta never give up lang.

    @filipinacpa ay sis kinabahan kasi ako nang bongga sa visa lodging dahil namali pala kami nang lagay sa start of date nang relevant experience then it will result na mababawasan yung points ko (pero hindi nangyari.hehe), 2nd natakot akong ma employment verification kasi yung dalawang company ko close na, 3rd hindi nag upload yung agent ko nang tax documents ko at payslip lang yung ina upload niya tapos one payslip of each company pa so baka hanapan ako though binigay ko naman lahat sa agent ko yung mga documents at updated pa na maraming instances na payslips, 4th iba yung family name ko sa Birth Cert at baka hindi tanggapin yung Marriage Contract document nang parents ko. Anyhow, eto na nga grant na at nawala na lahat nang ini-isip ko. hehe
