    @maiSG03 tumawag po ako sa SG police kanina sabi po nila hindi daw po ako eligible na makakuha nung police clearance kasi 3 months stay lang daw ako. Regardless daw po if may E-Pass ako or may request ang case officer not eligible daw po ako. May email po silang sinend sinabi din nila na 6 months minimum ang stay para mag issue sila ng police clearance. Pwede ko po kaya iaattach ung email sa immi account ko? july 18 po ako naglodge.

    hi @KimBokJoo attach mo yung letter ng Sg police and make a character statutory declaration.

    @Chad If you're coming from PH, you need to get a CFO sticker attached to your passport. Present mo lang sa airport immig yung passport with CFO sticker at print out ng visa grant letter then you're all good to go.

    @amoj It means inupload ko na lahat ng required documents (including emedical info sheet and police clearance).

    @kisses1417 Don't quote me here pero as far as I remember, di daw kailangan ng "cfo" sticker pag temporary visa. I'm not sure if there are other government agencies that should give you their sticker or what. Maybe you can ask a 489 visa holder on the requirements for a more concrete answer.

    @Chad Go to the website of CFO : http://www.cfo.gov.ph/. All information is there including the required documents to bring. Goodluck!

    Who else has 65 points here like me? lol

    Oh man, some days I read the too much into the results per round and over-analyze stuff, sometimes thinking I may not get an invite this year........ and then I see other people waiting waaaay longer than me. I guess this is where patience is a damn virtue really applies. In time, guys, in time!
