Hi question po, what is the correct and fast way notify case officer (CO) for incorrect name ng baby ko po sa application? Si CO yung nag-add ng maling name ng baby ko as my secondary applicant. With this, mali din yung name ng baby ko sa medical request na finorward nila.
Can I use "Notification of Incorrect answer(s)" sa update details kahit hindi ako yung nagkamali?
Or sapat na mag-add lang ako ng letter sa attachment ng documents sa application ko?
