    @langgam37... wow, lapit na ang initial entry nyo!
    @jenipet20.. goodluck sa ielts!... natandaan ko dati, may trainee kami sa office na expat. panay kausap ko sa kanya. kala nya friendly ako. :D hindi nya alam, pinagpa-practisan ko lang siya ng English convy. hehehe. kasi naman, yung work ko ay sa lab at ako lang ang technician. sino naman kakausapin ko dun...beakers?! hehe...
    kaya, practice-practice ka lang din kapag may time. :)

    @langgam37 Thanks Man, please excuse me, but can i ask you after initial entry nyo, did you do anything like inform immigration that you will not be staying yet, or fill up any forms na mag iinitial entry lang muna kau... and kasi with family yung inapplyan kong visa, is it required na buong pamilya (my wife and daughter) ang makapag initial entry??? or pwede ikaw lang... :)
    Thanks.

    @vibmanacap we did not fill any forms, we just made the initial entry before the deadline. Pwede naman di sabay-sabay, basta yung primary applicant dapat ang mauuna, and yung wife and daughter mo kahit later basta before the initial entry deadline.

    If I may ask, San po kayo sa UAE? I noticed na CE rin po kayo..

    @jenipet, for chemist, merong mga suppliers ng chemicals dito. But i won't advise you na dun. hehe. puro mga pana andun eh.

    may work experience ka ba sa mineral or oil samples? mga tipong galing ng Petron/Shell sa atin? ;) may mga labs na ganun dito eh plus oil companies like Adnoc, Schlumberger (haha, nde ko alam ang spelling!!!), Dolphin Energy, CoreLab, etc..

    or pwede rin sa mga schools.. sa amin (pag-alis ko, hehe), sa Masdar (na ewan ko bakit ayaw akong tanggapin, lol!), sa HCT, or sa bagong ginagawa nilang nuclear power plant somewhere.

    @fireglass hello po… it depends po sa inyo situation and circumstances, if you have money to spare and a complicated case, then you can hire an agent. then if you have time to read and willingness to learn, you can do it by yourself.

    @fireglass, yes, they will only submit it for you pero ikaw pa din maggagather ng docs mo. may mga IE din dito sa forum am sure. if you know you can do it yourself then just read through this forum and learn from the experiences of the members.

    last time, @lock_code2004 gave me samples of CDR kasi plan ko to prepare one for my husband but eventually we have decided na wag na lang ako magclaim ng points for him.
