Ang tanong ko po, meron po ba sa inyo nakaexperience ng ganun dito at ano po ginawa nyo, nagrant naman po ba ang visa? Declare or not? Isip po namin ideclare na lang just to be totally honest kase totoo naman reason namin why nag overstay and wala naman kaso sa immi ng UAE. Kase kung itago at madiscover later on naman ng DIBP don magiging problema kase nag sinungaling kami sa pinasa namin..
Or any insights po? Thank you in advance. More power to all!

Do you think my documents will be reassessed 28 days after since CO stated in her email that I should submitted additional document within 28 days? Or will they reassess it sooner than that?
Thanks po sa magcocomment!!:)
