@Jan_ kaya nga medyo madami nga nirequire na docs.
ang prob ko ngayon yung sa Philippine PCC ni wife, kasi hindi pa naman nka more than 1 yr stay si wife sa Philippines kaya d kami kumuha ng PCC para sa kanya. Siguro nag assume si CO na more than 1 yr stay na si wife sa Philippines. Ano kaya mabuting gawin sa case na to?
Thanks sa sasagot.
