matanong ko lang po, san po ba mas okay magpa medical?
St Lukes or NHS?
Saan kaya mas madami nagpapamedical?

meron pa kami pending document, inaantay pa namin yung bank statement.
then medical and nbi na.. pero gagawin pa lang namin yan on our 6th week of visa lodgement.
kelan ka po nagpamedical sa St. Lukes? No need na po to call their clinic to set an appointment? tama po ba?
if i may ask din po, when ka po nag lodge ng visa?
