Thanks guys
Dami namin naging worries pero hindi naman naging issue such as :
a. Incomplete payslips
b. Multiple EOI due to change of plan from EOI- Single to EOI-De facto/visa lodged married
c. NBI still reflecting single status
d. Marriage Certi (not NSO copy) and incorrect address in marriage certi
e. Health Exam - mau UTI kasi si misis
f. Form 1023:incorrect info in lodged visa application affecting work experience points
