I have a question regarding proof of funds. Manghihingi ba ang CO ng proof of funds pag nag lodge na ako ng Visa? I have been invited to apply for Independent Visa 189 last month. Pero ang worry ko if enough yung funds ko if ever manghingi ung CO.... Please advise..
Thanks in advance.

1. if i lodge my application, do i need to submit the documents of all the dependents included in my application at the same time? family kasi kami with one kid.
2. for certified true copy, do i still need to do that for coloured docs like passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate? nakalagay kasi sa document list certified copy, but i read and a friend told me that no need to CTC for coloured docs.
thanks for the help.
