Nilagay namen no sa question kung pregnant ba or not.., pero baka kasi preggy pala si wife..
if ganito, pano ba, hindi na rin kasi mkakapag generate ng bagong referral/hapid..
- sabihin nalang ba namen straight sa health exam na preggy?
- or maglodge na kame ng visa, then take the health declaration from there eventually generating a new hapID?
a year from now, you will wish you had started today
