Hi,
We are on the very same boat, we have a 3 month old baby, pero di pa kami lumilipat sa AUS. We plan to lodge visa 101 in the coming weeks. Based on my research (reading the Home affairs websites). Talagang paper-based lang and application ng visa 101. We need to pre-pay the visa application (AU$2415) thru ImmiAccount prior the lodging the application.
For the police clearances, We're hoping na sana di na kami hingan ng police clearances kasi three countries na kukuhanan namin. At tsaka, di ba sa Singapore, they will not provide police clearance kung wala pa request from another entity. So I guess to-follow ang police clearance talaga. Another thing, sa Form 47CH, Part H, 6th checkbox ( see screenshot attached), di ba ang sabi dun ay:
<blockquote class="Quote"> If the child is under 18 years of age and has been adopted
without the involvement of an Australian state or territory
adoption authority...</blockquote>
Kung di naman adopted yung bata, edi di na satisfied yung situation, tama ba? Di na kailanagn ng police clearances, hehe. What do you think? If you guys have lodged the application already, what did you guys ended up doing? Thanks.
