I just want to clarify, when sending the additional documents requested by the embassy, do you send those through email?

I provided them my email address during the application so the communication was mostly through email.

They also said in the letter asking for the additional documents that All requested documents must be sent as an email attachment unless specifically instructed to submit original.

Then what confuses me is the last part where they say that, Please submit documents by ONE method only. Sending duplicate or multiple channel will result in processing delay.

Please help me further understand these clause as I am confused with the words.

Thank you.
Hi Pop32, as mentioned on the clause "All requested documents must be sent as an email attachment unless specifically instructed to submit original". They will give you specific instruction on how the documents are to be sent. It could be thru email or original copies. In my case, I was asked to send NBI and Police Clearance for additional requirement. I sent it thru FEDEX courier as I was instructed to send original copies. Then the clause "Please submit documents by ONE method only. Sending duplicate or multiple channel will result in processing delay", from how I understand it, like in my case, I was asked to send the original copies of both NBI and Police Clearance. Therefore, instruction is clear so I do not need to send another copy thru email. At any transcation, there could be one method only. Just an insight.
Thanks. Cheers!

Hi viguaiza,

This confused me a lot:

All requested documents, unless specifically instructed to submit an original, should be sent as an email attachment

Documents requested in its original form, e.g. police certificates, must be submitted to thru either VACs or Courier
and
Please submit documents by ONE method only. Sending documents through duplicate or multiple channels will result in processing delays.

I have one document that said "Original". Does it mean I will send that through either VACs or Courier and the others through Email?

Thank you.

It depends ata, passport ko nga nirenew ko lang last week, so yun passport copy ko na sinend ay magexpire na don sa app ko. wait lang ako sa advise nang visa office for updated data noon. Btw kumuha ka na PCC dito?

Hi raecy, you can send it bY courier..
In my experience kasi, the embassy sent me an email for an additional docs, so i send it by mail. though, they advice me to send it to Vac or courier but i sent it through LBC. And i send it by one method only. But i advice you to send by courier.

If they ask you 1 document then send it by courier or vacs. you can send it also through email but in pdf file.
