    Hi Guys,

    I am new here. I am anxious with regards to the Global Processing times. 75% processed in 11 months na. dati rati 3-4 months lang. when I lodged on May 30, the processing time was 4 months. So anu na bibilangin ko? yung 4 months or yung 11 months ngayun? and when should the counting start, on lodgement or CO date?

    HELP NAMAN :(

    I JUST RESIGNED FROM MY COMPANY

    @khaleesi0506 Wala po naman sigurong problema. Ganyan din po nagawa ko dati..sa EOI ko at sa Health Declaration ay hindi ko sinama middle name namin ng buong family ko. But sa visa lodgement ay nilagay ko middle name namin sa "Given Names". At hindi naman ako nagka-problema. Na-grant naman kami directly at walang naging kahit anong contact sa CO.

    Hi @Xiaomau82

    I saw you're from Admin.. I just want to get second opinion..

    Can I get a confirmation if my understanding is correct, please... I've been here in SG since June 2007, so over 10 years na.

    So hindi ko na need kumuha ng Pinas NBI? Lahat ng uwi ko kasi sa Pinas, puro holiday lang which is definitely less than 365 days.

    Thanks! :)
