    @jedh_g I'm doing alright. Hope ok din sa side mo.

    In terms of my applicayion, magsubmit sana kami ngayon dahil nameet na naman namin yung period pero pagdating sa page 6 di daw kami eligible. Di namin sure kung anong reason.

    1 factor yung tinitignan namin, yung name namin sa PR di nakasama yung middle name namin whereas sa mga AU ID namin naging part na ng First name yung Middle name namin.

    Tatawagan namin yung immigration tomorrow to know the reason behind

    march 21, my understanding, if wala other au visa like tourist, work or student before pr visa, residence starts when you enter au. so 4 year residence starts from March

    @jmban33 I would recommend to create an immi account each for the family member applicants. Then draft (don't submit yet) the application paper work online. You will know if the application is eligible if the system accepts it prior the submission. To be sure, you should be 4 years consistent within Australia from the PR date for your application to proceed. Hope this helps.

    @agrande how's your application inquiry? Hope all is fine..

    @engineer20 @jedh_g when I checked today pwede na naman icontinue yung application. May delay lang siguro. :) Need niyo ba ng penal clearance? It looks like we need to submit it. Mukhang matatagalan pa ata kami dahil sa clearance. :(

    @agrande just comply what is instructed of you and surely process will just take some time and all will be positive at the end. I think talagang nirerequire talaga clearance pag you went living from other countries. God bless us all!

    Tomorrow na ko mag Lo-lodge kasi busy at work until today. Malaki laki din bayad per head kaya ipon-ipon din. 5 kami Sa application and nasa 180 AUD din per head (Me and my 16 yo daughter applies, si wifey ay Sa December pa).

    And lastly sana maipasa ni wifey yun driving test nya today para yun driver ID nya magamit ko as official Aussie ID nya. 😊
