Hi guys,

Nabasa ko yung discussion about POF.

PPR na kami, kaya lang last day napadala ng message and CEM regarding our POF.
Kinu-question nila ung history ng savings account namin kung paano kami nagkaroon ng ganung amount (4 family members kaming aalis, around 21k CAD-POF).

Since 2006 ay dito na kami nakatira sa Saudi Arabia ng buong family ko, 1 month/ year lang kami umuuwi sa Pilipinas. Kaya ask din ng CEM bakit sa Pilipinas ung bank namin gayung dito kami nakatira?

"Failure to explain these queries within 45 days will mean refusal of our application."

Nagulat lang ako kasi ay PPR na kami tapos may biglang issue na ganito.

Ang concern namin ay nagpatulong kami sa ibang agency with regards to accumulating our POF. Kasi ang plan namin, yung talagang pera ay manggagaling pa sa separation pay naming mag-asawa from our works..so wala kaming cash nor property at hand na pwedeng mag-suffice ng worth 1M for our POF.

Worried lang ako na sa kabila ng lahat ay possible pa palang mag-deny kami...

Sa ngayon ay gumagawa na kami ng written explanation sa lahat ng queries nila, hopefully maging enough ito para matuloy na talaga ang lahat.
Actually, nasa CEM na ung passports namin....

May iba pa ba kaming dapat gawin?...I would be needing your smart suggestions just in case may hindi kaming nakitang points na supposedly eh ginawa namin..

Hope to hear from all of you soon, thank you much!

I'm sure you'll get your visa soon, just give them your best explanation,,, Good luck! :)

@ sodapop you are given 45 days to comply, wag ka magpadalos sa reply mo. Pag isipan mo mabuti, ask GOD for wisdom, pray hard. He knows all you hearts desire and he will definitely give it to you. I wish you all the best, and will keep you in my prayers. You can do it!
Thanks Cath, actually we have 30 days nalang kasi ung message ay dated July 20 pa, nitong 27 lang forward ng agent namin.

Yes, we will definitely consult this to Him alone...honestly, so afraid of this..that we might get refused in the end..but we still believe to the fulfillment of His promises to us.

As of the moment, we are gathering the supporting documents, blessedly..everything has been provided already...not merely coincidence...as we are trying to mend the explanation...talaga palang iyon ang reason ng lahat, kung bakit nangyari ang mga bagay-bagay sa amin...iyon pala ang purpose...na magagamit pala namin talaga sya dito sa present case namin.

Prayer support from all of you is what I'm asking as of now.

thanks doc,

We are mending the best explanation, at the same time we are trying to reflect on the truth behind the lie :(

We didn't intend to lie, call of the situation that time, we needed to come up with the fastest solution for our POF.

So far, the Lord has been providing all the papers to support our case..and we'll be needing your prayers too.

Thank you for the kind words...After all these things, the moment we land to Canada...I think I'm gonna embrace all things I'll be seeing there the first time.

The span of 12 months has been so tough on our application..lahat na yata ng unimaginable circumstance ay inabot namin...pero still, nandito na kami sa almost last stage..hopefully...by faith...matapos namin hanggang sa makaalis na kami ng maluwalhati....May God bless us!

Salamat sa lahat! ;D

hi,

Thanks for sharing your view.

Here is the thing, we can produce our POF, yun nga lang hindi nung time na required nila. Kasi we planned to get the fund from our end of service award..or the separation pay that we'll be getting upon resignation from our respective offices. Kaya lang that time, immature pang mag-resign kami pareho kasi nagsisimula palang ang application namin to Canada, wala pang kasiguraduhan ang lahat. So we decided to look for possible solution the soonest possible time kasi very limited lang ung allowance na time to comply to the requirements di ba?

So nag-offer ung consulting agency namin ng additional help. Ang mindset namin that time ay para ma-comply ung required POF, at by the time na may decision na sila sa application namin, say, we are to fly to Canada, we can produce the amount and can bring with us.

Ang questions lang naman ng CEM ay since 2006 pa kami nakatira sa SAUdi:

1. how come very recently lang kami ng nag-open ng bank account sa Pilipinas which is 2010?
2. paano namin na-produce ung amount na nasa savings namin, saan nanggaling ung pera namin?

So far ay inaayos na namin ung detailed explanation, pati narin ung mga supporting documents.

Hopefully everything will turn out fine.

Hi Doc,

I just don't understand..pwede bang gamitin ang payroll/payslip sa POF? Hindi kasi nabanggit ng agent namin na pwede un.
My husband's been working here in Saudi since 2003, eversince may bank account na sya dito. Good standing naman lahat ng financial obligations namin, never been black listed. We were able to acquire bigger properties here, such as our dream car.

Kung susumahin namin ung salary ng husband ko, kayang mag-accumulate ng POF amount...un nga lang syempre, nagagastos namin dito ung pera kasi nga dito nakaming lahat nakatira....
