Am still stuck with uploading of documents; mejo nakakalito lalo na yung "next step" na column. Anyway, a few questions that I want to know sana:
(1) Where do we classify the CPA License of my wife? Is it under qualification overseas or occupational license?
(2) I made a mistake in one of my upload, can I still be able to delete this?
Appreciate your advise, thanks!
