Waiting was the hardest! I went from obsessed to not minding my application and then went back to it every time may update. I visited AU pa in hopes na another visa application will make them check my PR application. LOL

Also, just wanted to say that I'm one of those who claimed points for experiences before the "date deemed skilled" following my agent's advice. Best to be careful and if you can, consult an expert.

Thanks, everyone! Cheers to more opportunities!

Congrats po! ask ko lang if hindi na po kayo nag remedical ? direct grant po kayo?

Yes, direct to grant, no s56

Oo nga. Pag ganito, sorry nalang ba sila? Jusko ang mahal mahal ng bayad sa kanila. Pag abala sa kanila, need addl payment. Pag abala sa customer, "sorry". Maggrant din naman pero jusko talaga
