FINALLY GOT MY GRANT! (SUBCLASS 189 - PERMANENT)
OCTOBER 6 INVITEE
NO AGENT - OFFSHORE
From planning, dreaming, english exam reviews, sitting in the PTE Room at Trident Tower in makati, gathering of docs and submission for skills assessment. To NBI Appointments, medical in NHS to waiting game! It’s a 4-year journey (including planning)!
Thank you po sa forum na ito. Na naging tambayan for the last couple of years. Journey to BM and Citizenship naman! See you on the next threads!
Few Tips!
*I also submitted Form 80 and 1221. Even without CO asking for it. I submitted these, right after my lodgement/payment where the attachment prompt is shown. I uploaded these under ‘Other Documents’.
*Check all forms EOI, Immiaccount, 80, 1221, and others GAZILLION times before submitting. I remember myself checking all these every time and still finding something erroneous that I didn’t notice from the first checks. Have someone check it too, with fresh eyes.
*Always make your evidence/documentation like passports, and IDs at hand while filling up forms, always check and compare the numbers that are being asked. (e.g. Passport Nos, ID Nos, Addresses, etc)
*Always read the question marks icon for more information.
***Always include your MIDDLE NAME on your FIRST NAMES. **Every single time when you fill up something concerning applications in Au. Buti na lang nabasa ko agad to sa forum, nung may nagbrought up, at buti na lang nasa EOI stage pa lang ako ang waiting pa sa invitation kaya na-edit ko pa.
DIY IS SO SO SO DOABLE. Just equip yourself with knowledge about the visa and the processes. I’ve been reading all these since 2018 to date. I invested my time to study the flow and corners of these processes. It took me just a couple of months to get the job done. Submitted EOI September 11, 2022 and now, visa was granted at 11 April 2023. EXACTLY 7 months from my EOI submission to DHA. Slowlyyyyy but surely.
“If I only had an hour to chop down a tree, I would spend the first 45 minutes sharpening my axe.” – Abraham Lincoln.
Experiences from other forum mates are very very very helpful as well. Thank you for sharing your journey and I am one of those who benefited from it. DIY is doable for those who have simple cases like me. For those who have complex cases, consult registered migration agents/lawyers.
