    @toking Bro I think kung 1 month na since nag-medical baby nyo, pwede nang magfollow-up kasi wala naming masyado holidays ngayon sa Oz na magk-cause ng backlog, unlike nung towards the end of 2014 na medyo na-delay yung visa issuance dahil daw sa holidays both with DIBP and MOC if ever man may na-refer na medicals..

    Happy Easter to all! Question lng po kasi napa paranoid ako. We had our medicals in March and sabi ng clinic eh na upload na un results last 13 march. Kaso po nkalagay sa immi account na 'requested' pa rin un medicals naming lahat (hubby, I and daughter). So I emailed the CO pra masigurado na nareceive nila. Ganito sagot nya: 'thank you for your email. Please be advised that we are now just awaiting the Philippines police clearance of your husband.' Na upload ko na po un NBI last 31 March. Kaso un medicals nmn eh 'requested' pa rin til now. Meron po bang nka experience ng ganitong scenario? Should I email again pra ask un medical kung kailangan i-resubmit ng clinic or hintay hintay na lng ng result? Nagtataka ksi ako bkit 'requested' pa rin til now un medicals. Anyone of you had the same experience and ano po ang nangyari? Hope you can enlighten. TIA!

    @toking Bro I think kung 1 month na since nag-medical baby nyo, pwede nang magfollow-up kasi wala naming masyado holidays ngayon sa Oz na magk-cause ng backlog, unlike nung towards the end of 2014 na medyo na-delay yung visa issuance dahil daw sa holidays both with DIBP and MOC if ever man may na-refer na medicals..

    @wizardofOz bro, ang sabi kasi ng agent namin 4-8weeks daw ang processing ng medicals. sabi nya after 2months at wala pa eh magfollow-up na daw sila. pero sa lagay now na summer hotness ang panahon eh nakakainip ng magantay. haha kaya gusto kong kulitin yung agent na magfollow-up na this week. baka kasi narefer nga sa MOC ung medicals namin lalo na G6P deficient and baby namin. sa tingin mo bro? ipa-follow ko na sa kanya? salamat ulit.

    Happy Easter to all! Question lng po kasi napa paranoid ako. We had our medicals in March and sabi ng clinic eh na upload na un results last 13 march. Kaso po nkalagay sa immi account na 'requested' pa rin un medicals naming lahat (hubby, I and daughter). So I emailed the CO pra masigurado na nareceive nila. Ganito sagot nya: 'thank you for your email. Please be advised that we are now just awaiting the Philippines police clearance of your husband.' Na upload ko na po un NBI last 31 March. Kaso un medicals nmn eh 'requested' pa rin til now. Meron po bang nka experience ng ganitong scenario? Should I email again pra ask un medical kung kailangan i-resubmit ng clinic or hintay hintay na lng ng result? Nagtataka ksi ako bkit 'requested' pa rin til now un medicals. Anyone of you had the same experience and ano po ang nangyari? Hope you can enlighten. TIA!
    @koykoy, ung 'requested' ba na sinasabi mo is sa emedical client na site?or may letter ulit sa inyo ang CO nyo? may i know your CO team? tnx!

    Why will it hurt your visa application? Immigrant doesn't have any access to your booking (nor are they interested) - the thing you would want to consider thought is: (1) Are you sure you will be given a visa? and (2) Given that you bought your ticket for example, on June 2015 - are you sure that by then, your visa will be granted already?

    It is your choice - and if you feel that the savings far outweigh the risks, then by all means book! :)

    all the best
