A lot of the comments in here do recommend PTE..
I'll look into it. I'm currently reading the MSA. I'm still strolling thru the internet for a CDR Sample. Lol.
Just need to see what others did.

Hi everyone,
I just renewed my passport. I already had it changed to my married name. Tentative release is on October 12-15. Pero di ko pa po pinacancel yung old passport ko under my maiden name. Hawak ko pa. Icacancel lang nila pagclaim ng new passport.
All my docs are okay naman na po, ready na.
If you were on my feet, maglodge na ba ako ngayon ng visa and inform na lang DHA sa change of circumstance pagdating ng bagong passport. Or, wait ko na lang yung bagong passport? Tho medyo matagal pa naman deadline ko sa November 11 pa po.
I need your insights po.
Thank you

I suggest ( just my opinion lang ha) you apply with your old passport. Yan kasi ginamit mo sa EOI na nainvite e. So if you lodge with a different passport and you even changed your name, macoconfuse ang CO. After lodgement, may button sa Immiaccount that you can update you details including passport. I did that with my son, okay naman nag notify naman ng change of details sa email ko.

Hi, sinabi ko lang po dun sa nag-pprocess ng mga documents. Tinanong ko kasi kung mga delay sa releasing ng passports. She suggested na pwede naman huwag muna icancel yung old passport. Pag i-claim na lang yung bago tsaka nila icancel.

Hanggat di mo natatanggap yung new passport di nila sisirain/cancel yung passport mo ngayun. So you can use it. Sa harap mo kasi nila sisirain(not totally sira. Punch lang ng holes ung passport) pag nag agree kana sa new passport mo after mo icheck lahat ng details.

Yup ipapunch nila un. Automatic na pag na issue yung bagong passport sayo, need nila ipunch ung passport sa harap mo. Hindi kasi pwedeng dalawang passport ang valid at a time.
