  Mayang after office maglodge na kami. Kagabi lang kami natapos magconsolidate ng mga records at magfillout ng form 80. Medyo kabado lang sa mga address ng mga documents kasi may mga conflicting dates and address like itr ni misis (address issue).. Sana lang yung madelegate na co namin di mapansin ang mga addresses sa attachments namin. May mga nirerequest ba si co pagmay conflict sa address?

  Hi if I may answer your queries. 1) No, to be consistent sa mga docs pati EOI at sa EA outcome letter, eto rin ginawa ng karamihan na with visas na 2) Yes, okay lang 3) Yes, for my husband we disclosed his employment history for the last 10 years and provided COEs (generic type lang with remuneration) no need for ITRs, we did this kasi sa isang batch last year hiningan ung spouse ni main applicant ng proof of employment.
