May nakita ako na nag-mention sa group na before daw it was being done twice a month. Not sure kung magiging ganun pa rin yung frequency this FY.

when they started to do the quarterly rounds, wala silang announcement. Just that walang invites for a few months, then biglang meron na. Basically what happened is they announced the change after they already implemented it. Unpredictable na nowadays

actually sir medyo confused ako sa Aus pcc.. kasi dubai pcc for sure ma rerecieve ko yun this week kasi mabilis lang sa dubai. so meaning pwede ko ng ilodge once my dubai pcc na ako?. parang natatakot lang ako baka bigla ideny if di ako mag submit ng Aus pcc din hehe.. yun di ko nlang sana iintayin, but yeah my nabasa din ako na required lang ang pcc if i wokred/lived at least 12 months in a foreign country..
kasi naisip ko pag dating ko don is lodge na pag my dubai pcc na...

mag lodge ka na pagdating mo sa AU or kahit nga nasa pinas ka, pwede ka na mag lodge, regardless kung andito na ung either/or AU and Dubai PCC mo. remember, you only have 60 days after you were invited. PCC are ok with the Case Officers (CO) na hindi isama sa initial set of documents na ipapasa mo for the 189 visa lodging. kadalasan kasi, pina follow up lang nila. ung iba dito kumukuha lang upon request ni CO. ung iba, nag eestimate ng time kasi nga kadalasan 12 months validity lang. sayang pera kung ma expire. ung Dubai PCC mo, kung makuha mo agad, submit mo na, pray na lang na wag abutin ng expiration bago ka macontact ni CO/ma grant ng visa.
and hindi ka nila idedeny dahil wala ka pang AU PCC - bakit? eh wala ka pa namang 12 months dito sa AU.

pwede mong isama ung PCC sa initial set of docs kung meron ka na. hopefully, hindi lang mag expire. in terms of medical, IIRC, may tanong sa immi account kung nag underwent ka ng medical test for visa purposes in the last specific number of months. kapag pasok pa, pwede nilang tanggapin un, and ipapagawa na lang sayo ung mga test na required na either hindi mo pa nagawa or expired na ung result. once you were given instruction to take a medical exam, make sure na mag book ka ka agad ng schedule - sobrang punuan ang appointment for medical slots. i reckon lalo pa ngayon dahil ang daming naiinvite na andito sa AU.
