Hello all,

I would like to let you all know that my BOWP has been approved. I want to highlight some important points

1) Don't apply for BOWP if your current WP has still 4 months remaining as an expiry date ( you will get rejected)
2) Don't try to get your BOWP at port of entry (border)
3) To apply BOWP under PNP, you have to have atleast AOR for CIO-NS. Do send/attach copy of AOR
4) When choosing type of work permit, choose OPEN WORK PERMIT (v.important)

Hope this helps !

thanks for this tip! what if my work permit is still valid for a year but I lost my job? can I apply for BOWP.. my pnp-PR is already in process.
