<blockquote rel="clamp27">@lock_code2004 wow ang bilis pala ng sagot dito. Salamat ng madami. Pasensya na bro, medyo na confuse lang ako dun sa isang sinabi mo
Medical and NBI - will affect your initial entry date requirement after visa grant.... if you dont care about that, you can proceed.. or plan accordingly pag malapit kana ma-assign ng CO..
what do you mean it will affect my initial entry date. Hindi naman actually ako sobrang nagmamadali, hinahabol ko lang kasi na wag mag close yung Code na inapplyan ko. So pwede after CO assignment ko na lang sila gawin. Tumawag kasi ako sa St. Lukes bago na daw kasi process, kelangan ko na daw ng parang referral before going there kasi e-health na daw. Online na din pati submission ng Medicals so wala na courier na kelangan.
Hope you can shed more light.
Thanks din sa tip sa signature and thanks for the warm welcome. 🙂</blockquote>
@clamp27 - there is what you call an initial entry deadline (IED); after you receive you PR visa, this is the latest date wherein you MUST NEED to make an entry to Australia in order to activate your PR status. If you the date has passed and you fail to activate your visa, mawawala na yung pinaghirapan mo.
Having said that, the IED is usually 1 yr after your NBI/medical issuance date (whichever is earlier); ang iba kasi dito, they want the IED to be longer so that they can have time to prepare for whatever reasons they have.
Your call on this... Kami we started securing our clearances and medicals prior to getting a CO assigned as we had a target date naman kung kelan kami aalis.
