@Hunter_08 Sir, di po ba "Yes" ang dapat sagot dito ni @Lou27? Same kami ng situation, dito sa Pinas lahat ng work experience ko, YES ang sinagot ko. To my understanding, itong overseas na term po na ginamit ng department means outside "Australia". Kasi pag titingnan natin yung Attachment of Documents na Section, nakalagay kasin dun na "Qualifications - Overseas, Evidence of" & "Work Experience - Overseas, Evidence of" . Yung "Overseas" na term dyan covers all qualifications & work experience outside Australia.

@haringkingking @Steven @Hunter_08 Thanks for thinking this question through with me.
Honestly, now I am confused. For those who just submitted their visa, baka you can weigh in by checking your submitted applications. @danj @Desert_Cowboy may I seek your input? Baka some of us are guided by agents.

Yes po. Bale hindi pa naman sya expired when we received the grant. Kaya we were expecting na on or before Jun'22 namin ma-receive yung grant, else they will have to ask us to do another round of PCCs.

We issued statutory declarations po including some of our family members and long-time friends. You would want to cover the financial and social aspects of the marriage, including household arrangements and long-term commitment.
For example, sa financial, you can present bank statements or titles that you both own, remittances, proof of pooling of funds, etc. Sa social, yung Facebook posts before and after the wedding, of course wedding photos, invitations, etc. As long as it's genuine, madaming proof actually lol. Hope this helps po.
