Kpag kasi hindi citizen asawa mo yes my seminar and counselling pro ang ksbay mo eh ung nagp PDOS, pag andun kna sa cfo mlalaman mo dhil ask sayo ng guard.umpisa plang kung citizen o hindi, then doon ka nila bbgyan instruction, kpg maaga ka nagpunta ask sayo mga tao doon na prang tindero kc pg close pa sila nag aayos ng.line dhil iba ng line ng spouse/partner ng citizen sa permanent or pinoy pa din pti.ung

catseye12

Pati ang head count ng mag aatend magka iba din, much better call punta ka s cfo pra mas malinaw ang info, kasi ng kumuha ako gnon ang explanation sa amin, at mdami din ang nalito kung saan sila pipila.

what do you think?

yes you need PDOS, 309 defacto din ako and nag PDOS din ako sa CFO

_BABYMUDisLavish

@RF_angel25 thanks for that... i have a foreign de facto.. not married yet, not a pmv as well.... so i have to go for a PDOS?

forevern4always

If foreign husband or Pinoy but Australian citizen, you just need to book for counseling seminar. They start early in the morning cuz limited lng ang counselling. Then after the seminar they will issue a certicate, if may visa na they will attach the emigrant sticker in your passport as well. Ang pdos namn po, is for emigrant n pinoy ang asawa like, PR cia, for pinoys who are granted a skilled migrant. You wont be issue any certificate (correct me if im wrong). I advise everyone here in our forum n basahin ang CFO website and you wont go wrong. Andun po lhat ng contact number nila if may tanong pa rin tayo if di p rin naten maintindihan.

@forevern4always thank you... i was confused about someone telling me counseling plus PDOS pa in this forum... But I already clarified that to CFO when I was there. All I have to do for now is just wait... FOr now, I'm still waiting.. Hopefully soon... nearly waiting 7 months now... I think they're observing appropriate standard time of processing now...

@elcee Q Sto Domingo

Same as ours.

tonti

guys quick question lang. yun mga photocopied na copies ng docs na pinass nyo lahat ba certified?

RF_angel25

@tonti yes if its photocopied it should be notarized para to prove that its a certified true copy of the original document.

Cheers

elcee

@jim_hodge have you heard anything from the CO yet?

elcee

@_BABYMUDisLavish any news from the CO About your visa?

_BABYMUDisLavish

we updated them with a letter from my partner asking the status of the app. but they replied that they're still on the progress of standard checking of the documents. and also saying I'm still within the 9 months time frame of standard processing..nearly 7 months waiting now... they don't update me at all.. I usually take the first step in communicating with them, then that's the time they will reply.. When did you lodge yours? and who's your CO btw? @elcee

Jurus8

Hi PO sa lahat dito

RF_angel25

@Jurus8 hi din! and welcome

elcee

@Jurus8 hi!

jim_hodge

@jim_hodge have you heard anything from the CO yet?

Nothing since we've supplied all the docs they asked for. Xmas is looming now, I hope we don't get the nod too close to it.

hergielyn_rapa

Hi Po, bago lang me sa forum. just want to ask kung anyone here na nag apply ng spouse visa pero annulled from previous marriage and kasama sa application mo yung isang anak mo? ganu katagal ang processing time and anu mga requirements na hinihingi. thanks a lot for the help.

panda26

anyone here expecting for nov grant?

jim_hodge

anyone here expecting for nov grant?

Judging by the activity here of late I'd say no. I suppose since xmas would be the most awkward time to travel our grant will occur then.

_BABYMUDisLavish

Yay... Visa Grant!!! My CO called me while I'm here in Australia. This is such a lovely news for me and my partner.. Waited for 7 and a half months for this. I could really say that " It will be given to those who patiently waits.. "
