PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100)

kindred

@Alexia yes everything is free. You just come in, pop the baby, and out you go. Bkit ka pa ggastos. And public hospitals here are as well-equipped as other private hospitals. So the money you save instead of paying a private insurance would go to more essentials at home.

@Alexia we are preparing the documents na, para next month when we hit the two-year mark, complete na supporting docs. I suggest you save your money for something else, as there is not much difference between public hospital and private. You get the same level of care, and hospital staff are equally competent.

@Alexia I had the same apprehensions before, kasi the first time I had a baby in Manila, I gave birth in Makati Med. When I got pregnant again a few months after we migrated here, I wanted to be in a private hospital. But friends convinced me that it would be a waste of money. So ginawa ko was to ring a public hospital and requested for a tour of the maternity block and paediatrics ward. It is well-equipped, clean. You can choose your own birthing room, you can even do a water birth kasi some birthing rooms have that facility.

@st0rm tama ka postponed na nga. dumaan na april 17. wala naman pinagbago process sa immi website. hinde pa ako nagbayad. mas gusto kasi namin pulidosat hinde rushed yung visa application. ok lang madelay ng ilang linggo or buwan man kesa madeny. buti na lang di natuloy changes kaya di na kami naghahabol sa oras sa pag-ipon ng requirements.

Alexia

giginiclaire

@Alexia Justice of Peace. Meron sa mga mall yun and libre sya. Alamin mo lang schedule nila kasi i think 2x a week lang sila available. Pwede din RN kung may kilala ka

Am sooo excited to tell you guys,

Up to now, after ma update last April 24 ang immi account for our new passport at nag expire ang medical April 16,

Maygash Wla pa din ang visa namin..

Susme, two weeks na expired bukas ang medical pano na yan!?!

Nde ko alam ano pa hinihintay ni CO.. napasa na lahat ng additional information requested.

Nupaba?!

basia

@kindred ang mga COs ay playing the waiting game

kindred

@basia Oo nga.. napagod at nag sawa nko mag check ng email.. bahala na sila

Richardson

hi everyone, kmusta mga application nyo under 309? let me share my details

Lodge date: December 2017
first contact case officer via phone call: May 2018
Medicals: April 2018
Cenomar & police clearance request from previous work abroad: August 2018
requested for advisory of marriages cert and latest NBI clearance : January 2019

can anyone relate with our case? Its been 1 year and 5 months (17months) to this day wala pren advice from CO since last jan 2019 nag request cla for AOM cert and nbi. I know its dragging hirap maging away sa partner ;- ( please share your experience it helps alot knowing may kasama nag hihintay. we are under licensed migration agent so hindi nmen freely ma email by ourselves ang CO nmen. hoping for response people ;- )

kindred

@Richardson hi! Welcome to the thread.
Kailngan ko din ng kadamay kasi kami nman partner ko it’s been 14 months since applying. Nag expire na medical last March 16 pero waley pa din.. Ganun din samen ang CO naka 3 requests ng additional info the last one was February pa.. then nung eksaktong one year ang application nag email na application is in progress..mag eexpire n din ang passport kaya nag renew na kmi just to be sure.. sobrang tagal nga nauna pa ang later sten ang lodge.. mayron ngang nung October 2018 lng na grant n last month.

Pag offshore yata sabay sa Manila embassy nag process tagal kasi napakdaming naka pending dun. Sa ibang thread mabilis at madalas ang grant ng mga nag lodge sa other countries like Canada at UK.. kawawa tlga tayong considered ba high-risk country..

Richardson

@kindred hi thanks for sharing your experience ;-)

Hi Guys,

Nag lodge kami PV application May 2018 and til now Received Status pa din. December nag medical na si husband so decision ready na yung application namin. Yung processing time na nasa Immi Account is 15months na ngayon sa Partner Visa.

We applied for his Tourist Visa pansamantala while waiting and by God's grace na grant na so he would be here sa Oz this week. We are praying na by July or before matapos 3 months tourist visa niya they will tell us na me Partner visa grant na siya.

Regarding sa waiting period natin who lodged offshore.. kapag sa Manila ang process mahaba waiting period dahil sa dami ng visa applications compared sa other countries. I heard na if for this year na meet na nila ang quota sa visa then sa sunod na year na ulit ang grant. That means on onwards kasi dito and end of year is June 30 and not December 31. So expect na maraming grants from July onwards kasi mabibigyan ang Pinas ng alloted slots para sa visa grants.

I heard, the mere fact na received pa din ang status or tahimik sila for a long time and not asking for additional documents.. meaning okay na yung documents (sana). They are just waiting for visa slots to open para ma grant mga Partner Visa's natin. Kaya we keep praying and our hope is in our God. Kasi He will not allow for every husband and wife na magkalayo, pero while we are waiting... we wait joyfully and full of hope. God bless!

basia

@yael exactly the same thoughts ang discussion namin mag asawa. kaya lang di ba its agonizing to not hear a single word from them. The waiting game is on. By the way, kami June nglodge. Hopefully talaga...this year mag grant na cya

Hi everyone!

I've been reading about the pv309/100 here for nearly a year now and just want to share our still on going application.

DoL: 28 June 2018, Hong Kong
Biometrics: 6 July 2018
NbI: 21 Dec 2018
Medical: 12 Feb 2019
First contact from CO asking for marriage cert, hk police check: 1 April 2019

I went to Australia in Feb 2019 on a visitor visa for 3 months and got married there. Now we're back to waiting and hoping that we'll get the grant soon. Btw, we have a migrant agent to help us through out this whole process.

@basia - we are on the same boat. Lodged our application 309/100 (off shore) May 2018
Plano ko din pong mag apply si mister ng tourist visa kahit 1 month lang para kasama sa birthday ko early next month.
Ano po bang tourist VISA name ang gagamitin po ba? Akala ko po na di pwedeng mag apply ng another visa while you have an off shore application? Salamat po.

Hello. pag nagpasa po ba ng bank certificate for our joint accnt, nanghihingi pa po sila ng proof of remittance?

HMC72

Philippine bank po yung pagkukuhanan ko ng bank cert kasi dito kami may joint accnt. asa AU po sya

cherew

You can apply for a tourist visa 600 while on a pv309/100 visa. I got my tourist visa for 3 months.

Plus you've got to inform the department that you're in Aus once you arrived. I hope that helps

Richardson

@yael hi thanks yael for sharing. You totally make sense and logical ang timings na mention mo. Crucial ang month of june and july for those who are waiting. Hopefully we get feedbacks soon

yael

@cherew how did you inform the department pala? Do you have their email address where we can inform them about the tourist visa and when hubby is here? No emails nor updates kasi kami na receive since lodgement. Thank you in advance

pauline

@Jars230118 pwede ka mag tourist visa and u really need to exit when the embassy emailed you for your 309 grant notice
