@ipink Salamat po mam. Congrats po, may visa na po pala kayo.
Oo nga po eh, mas mainam na sabihin talaga ang totoo kesa mapansin nila na na somethings not matching up with your evidences or submitted info. Mahirap i risk yung ginastos, effort and time na you have already spent on. Good luck po sa amin.

Ok lang po ba na i leave kong blank ito (neither yes or no) kasi never pa ako nakatungtong ng Australia, or should I answer "NO" pero ang isagot dun sa follow up question of "Write the number of document you used to enter Australia" ay "N/A as never visited Australia?"
Tingin niyo po which one is better? Thanks po.
