Pwede po ba nmin mawithdraw ang mga documents at passport po kasi po matagal na po kaming nagaantay? Halos kalahating taon na hanggang ngayon di pa makaalis kasi ang sinasabi walang visa. Kung wala pa pala, masyado na po kami pinagantay ng matagal nakapagpamedical na lahat lahat po.

Actually po, this is a violation of the rules of the POEA. Kasi po, hindi po puede na mag-recruit ang agency unless there is an approved job order. Ibig po sabihin, kung kayo ay ni-recruit at nagawa na lahat ng proceso, dapat ay naka-deploy na kayo kung talagang mayroong job order sila. The fact na kayo ay pinaghihintay nila, ibig sabihin po nito ay walang job order.

So, ang usually pong ginagawa ng mga tao sa ganitong situwasyon ay pumupunta sila sa isang abogado ay humihingi ng isang demand letter na kanila nang wini-withdraw ang kanilang application. Sa Public Attorney's Office po, puede po silang gumawa ng ganitong demand letter. Ang isang bagay lang po na inyong kailangang malaman ay kung ang agency po ang nagbayad ng medical at processing ng visa or passport, sila po ay mayroong karapatan na mabayaran doon sa mga bagay na ginastusan na nila.

Please consult a lawyer (the PAO and the Integrated Bar of the Philippines have lawyers who can help).
