JULY 2015 Visa 190 Applicants

kabre

Hi,

I've recently lodged my application for visa 190 under state nomination from SA. I submitted my application on July 13, 2015, and I'm wondering why there isn't a CO assigned to my case yet. How long does it usually take for the CO to be assigned?

We have already done our medical examinations at Point Medical in Paragon Singapore, and the clinic has informed us they will mail the results of the medical to Australia DIBP next week.

Has anyone had experience in applying for a COC in Singapore recently? What about NBI clearance? I understand you can have your fingerprints taken at the Philippine Embassy in Singapore, and then have a representative from the Philippines submit the application for you. Anyone with experience getting an NBI Clearance from Singapore recently?

thanks in advance for everyone's input.

It's too early...time frame to have CO is 6-8 weeks in average

As for SG COC, you can already apply then frontload it. Check the info here: SG COC

For NBI clearance, not sure with this. Maybe others can give input

Thanks Dantz. Did you have all your documents certified before uploading to DIBP for the visa application? I got mixed information, the official letter from DIBD says all documents must be certified, but according to some of our friends in this forum, they didn't have all documents certified but they didn't have any problems with their application. I guess I was too excited to lodge my application so I didn't have all my docs certified, only those I used for vetasses were certified. Do you think I may have a problem with this?

dantz15

@kabre same here. Confused on that. For me, I have all certified kahit pati ung ACS results ko (Skill assessment). I think ok lang naman ang mix, sasabihin naman ni CO sayo if need nya na certified yung documents then you will have the chance to correct it. Just share here your experience so it can help others. Latest information are better.

@dantz15

thanks. nagbakasakali rin ako baka okay lang, mahal din kasi magpacertify ng documents dito sa Singapore. I think I spent over 200sgd the last time na magpacertify ako ng documents for VETASSESS...

Hi dantz15,

How were you able to frontload Sg COC? I thought required na may letter dapat from DIBP requesting for a COC bago makapagapply?

dantz15

@kabre oo nga mahal talaga. Pikit mata na lang.hehe.

dantz15

@kabre need mo muna mag LODGED (means bayad ka muna) then may acknowledgment letter ka na makukuha thu email. Then yun ang ipprint mo pag apply mo ng SG COC.

question po for the photos - nakalagay sya as labelled - so meaning ung digital photo lalagyan lang ng name using paint or any other related software ng nasa photo? tama po ba?

dantz15

@BringItOn yup tama.Paint will do

BringItOn

@dantz15 salamat! by the way, kay Ms. Sandra ka din ba nag-send for your NBI clearance?

dantz15

Thanks Dantz, nakapag-lodge na ako at nakapagbayad na (aus $6,300 for me, wife and child..ouch). Are you saying tatanggapin sa Cantonement yung acknowledgement letter from DIBP na natanggap na nila visa application ko? Nakalagay kasi sa requirements for sg coc "a document from the relevant authority/immigration that such a document is required. I don't remember if it is mentioned in the acknowledgment letter na required an Sg coc so not sure kung pwede gamitin yun sa pagapply ng coc sa cantonement

dantz15

@kabre yup yan na yun. nalito din ako dati about sa "a document from the relevant authority/immigration that such a document is required".
Pero yun acknowledgment lang ok na yun. Andun name nyong 3. Enough proof para sa inyong mag asawa.

Yan din ginamit namin.

Isipin mo na lang mas ok yun exchange rate nung sayo, mas mataas ang SGD ngyn, so mas nakamura ka hehe.

Hi Dantz, nasa au ka na pala?

Kagabi lang ako kinontak ng CO ko, ininform nga ako na kulang pa ako ng NBI CLearance, this week pa lang kasi darating NBI Clearance namin from Manila.

Ask ko lang sana... almost two months ago na nung ipadala sa IMMI nung clinic dito yung results ng medical check-up namin, pero hindi pa-rin na-uupdate sa immi account ko (see attached photo). Nung matanggap ko email ng CO kagabi, nagbigay ng checklist ng kulang na documents, nakalagay nga ang kulang ko na lang Police clearance from Philippines. Walang nabanggit tungkol sa medical. What do you think this means? Tingin mo pasado na kami sa medical at Police clearance na lang talaga ang kulang? Or does this mean hindi pa nila sinimulan ang assessment ng Medicals namin dahil kulang pa kami ng Police Clearance??

salamat sa reply..

dantz15

@kabre hehe wala pa ako sa AU. Nag initial entry lang ako. nakabalik na uli.hehe
About sa case mo, cguro send ka na lng ng email sa knila para sure, ask mo kung cleared na ba ung medicals nyo. Para atleast sure ka.

hi everyone,

naglodge ako ng Visa 190 (SA) July 13 this year, got an email and CO assigned just this week, Sept 9. CO was asking for additional doc, Police Clearance from Philippines. Incidentally, the next day dumating na ang NBI Clearance ko from Manila, at in-upload ko agad sa IMMI account ko. Ok na rin ang medicals namin buong pamilya, no action required na nakalagay sa "Get health Details". I lodged with 65 points under Visa 190 (SA). I'm quite excited kasi tapos na ang buong process (which was way easier than I imagined, buti na lang hindi kami kumuha ng visa agent at nakatipid kami ng almost 9k singapore dollars) but at the same time very nervous. What if di ma-approve visa? Do you think at this point, we'll be granted the PR visa anytime soon?

thanks sa feedback.

raiden14

@kabre wow malapit ka na sa finish line.. goodluck! balitaan mo kami ha

kabre

@raiden14
Thanks Raiden! good luck din sa application mo! hopefully we'll see each other sa SA in the future

MSS

@dantz15 hi...ask ko lng if hiningan ka ng form 80?..need ba yun? Kc visa 489 sakin on process plng..gusto ko malaman if need ba yun?

dantz15

@MSS may chance na hingan kayo. Depende kasi sa CO. Nung kami while waiting nag fill out na kami ng form80, medyo nakakatamad kasi gawin yun kaya sakto lang pag inunti unti mo hehe.

MSS

@dantz15 ah ok tnx...hmm..one more question...ngkamali kc ako ng tick about migrating members...napili ko yung mon migrating..e na lodge ko na..hinanol ko yung additional dpendents ko kaso nai add lng yung baby ko..pero yung spouse nde.paano proceso nun para maisama sa application?maiiwan sya?

dantz15

Pwede mong hintayin si CO then advise mo sya (kaso bka direct grant ka) or bigyan mo na sila agad nito: Incorrect answer form

MSS

@dantz15 yan yung form 1023 db? Kaso ang nasa isip ko e pang correct lng yan ng details na na claim as in yung sa point system..tama ba?..ang alternative ko sana e gumawa ng letter stating na ngkamali ako ng tick.

dantz15

ah pwede naman.
