    Congrats sa lahat ng nainvite! :)

    question po sa requirements.. sufficient na ba ung COE para sa proof of employment? Ung 1st company ko kasi un lng meron ako. Di ko dn pwede gamitin employment history sa sss kasi mali ung encoding ng sss tapos ilang months daw bago maayos.

    No worries @ecabacis. Been thru the same stage as you. Ask lang dito sa forum, madami tutulong sayo. Kelan ka mag-lodge?

    @jillpot eto po inaayos ko na.. nasa step 14/17 na ako ng form.. di ko p lng sure ano meron sa dulo.. hahaha. Check ko muna para din sure na frontloaded na everything guro except Medical and SG COC. Yung NBI ko pinaprocess na pero sa Nov 2 pa ang release eh, so malamang after undas na ako makapag lodge nito.

    @Gabrielle28 There is no definite timeline. It really depends on your CO. Some others have CO contact as early as 2 days, some others up to 2 months. So mas mabuti siguro na frontloaded na lahat ng docs even before ma-assign ng CO so more chances of Direct Grant.

    The passport appointment system says earliest sched in Manila is on Dec and Jan. We have to go to Legazpi to get an appointment this month! Kaasar, I've read what's causing this delay is a syndicate that blocks schedules and sell them to those desperate to get a rush passport. Hay.
    Does anybody here know a way to get an early passport appointment? Thanks in advance for the answer.

    @melvenb for what yung stat dec? For my case, I need the stat dec for my job description. I went to Andrew EE in Adelphi bldg (harap ng Funan mall sa City Hall Mrt). Price is 80 sgd if they draft it and lesser if ikaw magsulat (I forgot how much). Hindi ko pa na try yung sa Australian embassy :(
