I’m onshore. Been here since Feb 2017 but just not lucky. A classmate of mine got theirs last year from QLD. It’s baffling when we both did the same thing and only one of us got picked up.

Nag-add din po ako for Waiting ng Grants.
Tanong ko lang po, once na-invite na, diba po kelangan magsubmit ng mga supporting documents?
1. Anong mga document po ba mga kelangan ipanotarize?
2. Kasama pa po ba yung mga ITR, screenshots ng mga SSS contributions, COEs?
Salamat po!

Lord whispered "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
