Unexpected kasi di ko pa nasusubmit ung police clearance ko from Australia, although nagemail ako sa CO na January 27 2016 ako dumating at kinoconfirm if what date ba ako dapat kumuha ng clearance kasi wala pang 1year ung stay ko. Ung form815 lang ung inupload ko and di ko parin kiniclick ung "requested info submitted" sa immi account.
Ang sayaaaa! Thank you Lord! Thank you rin sa lahat lalo na sa pagentertain ng questions ko po
