1. Certified True Copy of all evidences. Since lawyer yun brother nya (uncle in law), di ba magkakaissue since same sila surname. i.e. Applicant and the lawyer certifying the documents. Baka lang kse issue sa approving officer ang relative na lawyer ang magcertify.
Or alternatively...
2. Coloured scan copies of all evidences. As I remember when we applied for our skilled visa, the officer said coloured scan can be submitted as-is (no need for ctc). I'm just not sure if this is also applicable if applying for tourist visa for parents.
Thanks in advance sa sasagot.
