kung anu ang kailangan sagutan online, ganun din sa paper-based application..
either way, kailangan intindihan mabuti, double check before submitting the application..
the only difference, sa paper-based pag nagkamali ka (before submitting), you can print another form, and then complete it again..
ang gingawa ko, sa mga online forms, before submitting it, i make a pdf copy and print it..
then i review ung printed copy..
as i always say, double check anything, let someone read/check it for your..

Bago lang po ako dito,
Base po sa mga nababasa ko sa threads, after you lodged visa 189 it takes 1 to 2 months to grant your visa? totoo po ba un? sabi kasi ng agent ko up to 12 months daw po... Just wondering...... nasa Dubai po ako ngaun at uuwi na sa Pinas this February kasi po nardundant ako or I lost my job due to reccession. Gusto ko lang po ng time frame..... By migration agent po ako nag apply.

I have a question though regarding uploading of documents online. Say for example nagkamali in uploading a specific document (ex. yung na upload is not the certified true copy), meron ba option to undo dun sa online portal? Or does one just proceed to upload the correct document into the system? Would it be advisable to just wait for the assigned CO, and then inform him/her about it, or they may just ask for it then? Would love to hear inputs in this scenario.

Yung problema ko ang second item Taxation Office tax assessment... I am employed in the same company since 2001 to present pero wala na ako copy ng ITR ko from 2001-2007 and our accounting office can not provide me a copy of it. I went to BIR pero wala din dahil dini dispose daw nila mga tax files nila every 3 years. Ask ko lang po kung paano ninyo na manage ang pagkuha nito? Or okay lang ba na ang ibigay ko sa CO ko ay from 2008-2012 lang? Dito lang talaga ako nahirapan kasi pinasa-pasa ako ng accounting office namin at BIR.
