Greetings! I'm a bit new here so I would like to ask some questions regarding Skills Assessment through Vetassess? I'm currently working in Dubai and I'd like to ask whether the Practical Skills Assessment will be held here? Will the Assessing Authority send someone to conduct the tests? Apologies for the number of questions.. Hoping for a response. Thanks! God bless!

ask ko lng, sa requirement kasi nakalagay "Do not arrange for police certificates until we ask you to"
Meron na ba kumuha agad ng NBI even before pa nila iask at so far di nireject and eventually na approve ang PR?
Thanks
