Hi guys, question sa mga offshore nag apply for 190 β sapat na ba yung NBI clearance for character check or need din ba natin ng AFP? May nabasa kasi ako sa FB group na offshore pero hiningian nung AFP na may alias? Medyo kabado nako haha, baka kulang pala papel ko π

Lol nabasa ko lang din sa FB group yan, di ko nga alam kung taga Pinas yun. Basta na-S56 daw sya and need daw nya ng AFP checks na may alias (or other names). Medyo nalito lang ako kasi alam ko pang onshore lang yun eh. Buti naman NBI lang sapat na! π

La naman hiningi na other docs for my wife (aside from the obvious MarCert). Ni-attach agad namin yun and yung old passport nya. Kasi nag sagot kami ng Form 80 e and sa pagkaalala ko merong tanong sa mismong visa application about Other Names. We just declared that she was known by her maiden name before marriage.
Direct grant naman

It's really a case-by-case thing. One day there's a pattern, the next day wala na without warning. I've seen some get CO contact shortly, others a few months after lodgement, some redundant CO contacts pa, and others none at all (straight to grant).

For your reference,,
I got CO contact 5 months after my lodgement date . And today, 3 months have already passed since I responded to CO. Imagine the stress na meron ako. Already waiting for 8months. . But need to go with the flow. I've seen someone na same lodgement date at co contact date namin na nagrant last week. May nagrant din ng same lodgment date ko at same occupation (non-priority) same last week, Kaya napaisip ako baka this week mgrant na. But who knows.. Darating din yan. Tiwala lang tayo. At di ka nag-iisa
