Expected ko kasi EOI ko mga. Pero while waiting, kukuha na sana ako ng Police Clearance, kasi matagal daw yun kunin. Pero if 6 months ang expiry ng Saudi Police Clearance, then that means ang IED ko is around 6 months lang din? Tama po ba?
Plan ko sana exit Saudi and lipat deretso ng AU around April 2018.

So no worries naman pala if kumuha na ko ng NBI last feb? Di naman siya makakaaffect sa initial entry date expiry?
Ung NBI ko kasi last feb ko pa kinuha, if 1 yr ang expiration, until Feb 2018 ang validity nya. If magkavisa man within the coming months, mga July-August 2018 ko pa plan umalis, kaya iniisip ko kung makakaapekto ung NBI

May tanong po pala ako. If naclicked na po yung 'Information Provided'. Pwede pa naman mag-add ng files no? Kasi yung Form 80 ko na naupload wala palang signature. Excited lang mag-upload.
