Hi po! I actually read the eligibility ng BVA, BVA holder po ang husband ko. Bale I held a 485 SE then nastuck lang offshore. Sa eligibiliy, I read that you can apply if you held or hold subtaintive visa. In our case, I also held 485. It says naman po na pwede mag-apply separately if hindi automatically granted.
I read further and looks like we are eligible to apply. But hopefully before kami bumalik sa Australia ay lumabas na rin ang PR visa namin na 2020 pa naapply.

I see. So nagka-BVA yung husband mo kasi onshore sya when the 190 visa was lodged. DIY ba kayo with your 190 application? If may agent kayo, maybe just confirm if eligible nga kayo for BVA, and if you have to apply for it before traveling or pag onshore na kayo.
The potential problem nga lang is baka work restrictions ng tourist visa ang mag-apply sa BVA mo, instead of the 485 (no restrictions) kasi yun tourist visa ang in effect pagdating nyo dito

Good day po! It's me again! Hoping to find some answers sa kapwa nag-aantay.
Finally nagalaw na po ang baso sa application namin. It was lodged on October 2020, onshore.
Ngayon po may request for new medical examination samin. Ang dilemma ko po ay meron kaming existing valid medical examination result na ginawa for our Visitor visa application last March 2022. I would like to know kung posible po bang magamit ang result na to para sa 190 application? At magpatest na lang kami ng other required tests na hindi kasama sa medical result sa Visitor visa application?
Thank you po in advance for all your responses.

No use nga po yung agent namin. Di responsive. I don't mind not having working rights naman po on BVA basta makapagstay na lang muna kami sa Australia dahil ang tagal na namin nalayo sa asawa ko.
However, ngayon po may CO na yung 190 application namin. Just last Saturday. Nagwowork sila even on weekends. We were asked to supply more information. Hopefully lumabas na yung PR namin para di ko na problemahin yung BVA.
Thank you po for your responses

Pwede ko po ba malaman ano po ginawa nyo para ma-"credit" yung existing at valid medical exam sa 190 application nyo? Our agent is not very much helpful at gusto na lang mag undergo ulit kami ng whole process para di na sya magtanong sa immigration.

Ni-link ng agent ko yung existing HAPID namin tapos nag pa medical kami doon sa isang test na rinerequire pa (since hindi namin to nagawa doon sa existing medical namin). Hindi ko na masyado maalala, pero hiningi lang nila yung dati naming HAPID tapos nagcreate sya ng bago. Pilitin mo yung agent mo na ireuse yung old medical nyo since additional cost nanaman kung uulitin nyo.
Ganto yung itsura nung bagong HAPID namin.

No. I don't think so. The points you gained the moment you are invited is locked in. Whether your PTE expires before grant doesn't matter as long as it is not before invitation.

Asking for advice again po!
Yung asawa ko nag-renew ng passport just last July 29. At July 30, we received s56 request for medical. Ngayon, hindi po sya makapagproceed sa medical exam dahil wala syang passport. Nag-email na sya sa email address na binigay ng immigration para tanungin anong alternative ID ang pwede nyang gamitin, pero until now wala pa ring response.
Anyone po na nakakaalam how to contact authorities regarding this matter?

Di na sinasama ang lumang passport na inuupload sa immi kasi nakaindicate na yan sa Form 80 and Form 1221.
Pero yung police clearance sa ibang countries na hindi expired kailangan isama. Lalo na if you stayed in other countries for at least 1 year. Kung wala ka police clearance, makacase officer contact ka niyan for sure.
Sa mga tatawag sa DHA, wag kayo sa DHA Sydney kumontact, sayang lang ang long distance call. Sa sobrang haba ang waiting period, oras ang aabutin. Try niyo tumawag DHA Canberra. Matagal rin, mga 30-45 minutes ang waiting period.

hi to all! i have pending visa lodge application for 491 already (1 month ago). and since open na yung 22-23 program for 190 offshore, i am planning to submit another eoi. if i received state 190 nomination, while my 491 visa lodge is still pending in immiaccount, what is the best option --- withdraw my 491 application and submit visa lodge application for 190? hoping for answer and suggestions.

@datch29 pre pareho kayo ng concern
Ang 491 visa po kasi ay hindi PR visa, need po mag-comply under certain conditions for 3 years, then magiging eligible to apply for a 191 PR visa later on.
Ang 190 visa po ay PR visa na, so if straight-forward comparison with 491, mas better ang 190.
Ang factor to consider po for me is 'yung waiting time for visa grant. We'll never know gaano po talaga katagal or ano ang mas mabilis na maga-grant between 491 and 190, nasa kamay na po ito ng DHA.
At the end of day, it's your decision pa rin po talaga, patience-wise and money-wise. Good luck po!
And just to add po pala, 491 visa ang na-grant sakin last June. Happy naman po ako

Hi. Tanong ko lang po kun sino yung may experience lately na magfeedback o magkontak sa DHA regarding visa application? Nasa further assessment po kasi status ng application namin after namin magsubmit ng S56 additional doc a month ago (NBI clearance). Thanks.
