    @imau di na po need ang contract kasi mas matibay na evidence ang certificate of employment kesa contract. sa time ko ni isang contract wala ako pinasa. :)

    @maryowni09 best advise na nabasa ko somewhere. after daw maglodge ng visa, kalimutan mo na muna.

    btw, you mean hindi credit card gamit mo? pwde matanong kung pano mo snettle yung visa fee? tia.

    @tofurad Ako po rin po hindi credit card ang gamit ko kundi debit card lang na Mastercard. Nung una ayaw magproceed yung payment kahit na may funds naman yung card. Yun pala may limit yung mga debit card na nakadefault na 50kphp lang ata. Need mo itawag sa bank na itaas yung limit based sa need mo na ideposit. Tapos tatanungin ka rin kung ilang days yung effectivity nung pagtaas mo sa limit. Sa akin nung naglodge ako pinataas ko ng 160kphp tapos 1day validity lang then balik na sa normal. Ayun. Naprocess naman. :D

    @tofurad nanghiram ako ng CC. hahaha ayaw ko kasi talaga kumuha ng CC dahil panira sa spending. I know nasa discipline xa pero prevention is better than cure for me. hahaha. tama ka nga siguro na kalimutan muna kasi ndi n ako nakatulog kagabi kaka isip.

    Kami CC ginamit tapos itinawag ko sa bank after payment kung pede installment ng 12 months . Mas ok na yun para di rin bigla sa savings kahit na may maliit na intrest rate sa CC. Buti may flexipay yung CC ko di nakakabigla sa intrest rate.

    @jon1101a tama focus ka muna sa ibang bagay . Ako nun todo check daily ng progress ng Immitracker then came 4th month wala pa din status change . Nakikita mo na na mga kasabayan mo nag apply may grant na . Pero keeping the faith and todo dasal after 5 months dumating din ang grant . One thing napansin naming dun sa application naming nawala yung Middle name , sabi ni hubby siguro may tumingin na ng application namin. And true enough nagka DG after 5th month.

    Darating din yan basta dasal lang talaga na mabigyan ng Grant .

    @tofurad ibig sabihin my tumingin na nun application namin. Ksi before August yun name is last name , first name , middle name tapos biglang naging last name , first name n lang . Sabi ni hubby siguro my tumutingin na kasi di naman kami nag update . True enough by end of Sept. may DG na po kami natanggap. My kakilala kami kelangan naman nya mag add ng docs pero since nasagad na nya yun 60 nag submit sya feedback yata . After nun na CO contact naman sya.

    Updating lang rin in case maka tulong sa iba. Got invited Aug 11 (di ko sure yun ba yung batch dito?) kasusubmit ko lang today (Oct 4). Medyo nakakakaba kasi hanggang Oct 10 lang tapos ka panic din yung payment option. Hehe

    Ginamit ko BDO credit card. Advise ng BDO, if debit card kaya ipa request via call center na increase up to 200k (pero hanggang doon lang!). So ang case ko (kasi kasama de facto ko so lampas 200k) nag advance payment ako sa credit card para maging "negative" yung outstanding balance/ magkaron ng credit card "limit". Nagkaproblema ako kanina sa debit card, una kasing sabi sa akin basta may funds mag pproceed yun. Nung nadecline tsaka ko lang nalaman yung 200k limit. After pumunta akong bank today to pay the credit card, mga 4pm na ata yun. Pagdating mga 11pm ok na, na credit na yung amount sa account ko. Tapos nag proceed naman transaction. And nakapag lodge din, FINALLY!

    Ginamit ko paypal (kasi 1% lang surcharge) vs debit/credit card na visa/mastercard na 1.32%).

    Ang hirap pala ng antay nagulat ako na 9-11mos na ang processing based sa advise nila. All the best po sa lahat!

    @angelmatiga Mas mabilis po sa 190 compared sa 189. Pero di naman po ata nagkakalayo na either DG or CO contact starting from 3.5 months to 5th month of waiting.

    visa 189 - 9 to 11 months
    visa 190 - 6 to 8 months

    Eto po yung reference. Nagbabago rin po yung processing times depende siguro sa backlog nila

    Hi @rnmh and @maryowni09 , i think better if sa OCT 2018 batch po ninyo ilagay yung tracking nyo po. Kasi sila na yung magiging ka-batch nyo sa waiting game, at mas accurate kayong makakapag antay. Kumbaga ang tina-track po natin ay gaano katagal ang processing times ng Visa Lodge to Visa Grant and EOI to ITA.. (i.e. parating na ba ang grant ni AA kasi same week sila nag lodge ni BB? ) :) Hope this helps

    Hi. Just want to share the great news. I got my direct grant 189 visa today, 9 am to be exact. I am a silent reader here. Thank you sa mga nag popost dito. I learned a lot from you guyz. Mahirap din pinagdaanan ko but never give up lang. Here’s my timeline/struggles.

    march 2017. - left abu dhabi with heartache after working as a Nurse there. The best kasi experience ko doon. Happy place tlga. But walang forever doon eh.

    March-june 2017- had my IRON bridging to become a nurse. (Ubos ipon ko from uae)

    June - umiwi ng Pinas. Struggled to find a sponsorship job as a nurse.

    July - got my license. Pero walang work at super broke.

    September 2017 - lodged my eoi 65 pts. Hirap ma invite. 70 pts (victoria)

    Feb 2018- went back to aus. Hanap ng work, hirap parin. Wala parin invite.

    March - took pte. 81, 78, 90, 78 . :(

    April - took pte again. Hearbroken again.

    May- need to exit. Losing hope. Went to US, hanap ng pede pagkakitaan.

    June- i took PTE again. Finally - 90, 79, 90, 84

    June 16- i got invited for 189 (75 pts). Initially, i did not opt for pr, may nag sponsor sakin remote hospital. I go for it kasi wala na ako pera. Can’t afford for 189 :(.

    July - Flew back to Melbourne. expired na pala nbi ko so sposnoring company cannot lodge my tss visa. Sakto, may nag pa utang sakin. So i figured I can lodge 189 na.

    August 08 2018 - i self lodged my189 visa onshore. Complete documents including medical and pcc.

    - nga nga waiting moments- nakaka paranoid mag hintay.

    6 October 2018 - DIRECT GRANT! To GOD be the Glory!

    Ang haba anoh haha. Pero alam ko we all have different struggles just to pursue that golden email. But as they say, tought times won’t last, tough people do. So laban lang tayo. Good luck sa mga naghihintay. Keep the faith. Always pray. Kahit mahirap. Pray lang always. God will never leave us!

    @jonigram congratulations po. Sometimes it is not about the destination. It is about the journey.

    Ang bilis po. Kakalodge nyo lng nung Aug 8 tapos DG na agad ng Oct 6? Less than 2 months. Or may factor po yung onshore kayo nagapply? Different process po ba kapag onshore application.

    @jon1101a Thanks po. Opo na amaze nga din ako sa bilis eh. Pero may kakilala kasi ako dati ganon din. In 2 mos na grantb sa kaniya. I am not sure if factor ang on/ofshore. Kasi may nakita ako sa immitracker, kasabayan ko nag lodge at nag grant, offshore nga lang siya.

    Factor din cguro na single applicant ako at hindi complex ang case ko especially ang work history ko. Then inorganized ko tlga ang documents inupload ko. Proper file name at I made sure na complete. Kaya din siguro napabilis.

    @jonigram meron din po ako nakita sa immitracker na 2.5 months kaso di ko sure kung legit. At least po napatunayan sayo ngayon na may mga ganyan kabilis na cases pala. Or baka mabilis sa occupation nyo?

    Ako rin po single applicant lng rin. Sana magrant na rin sakin since nasa Aug 8 na yung mga inaassess na application.
