Question sa mga nagpa-medical (lalo na sa SLMC BGC) before lodging of visa application. I checked their website and sabi need mag online register sa kanila. Kaso, required ito iprovide sa form: "Lodgement Office where your visa application was filed". Pwede kaya to i-N/A? Or take risk na lang na mag walk-in?
