guys, for some reason, i cannot seem to download/fill out the e-health form of my father (dependent not migrating) in my e-visa page. i have successfully done so for myself and my de facto partner but when i click on "organize your health examinations" for my dad, the window that opens stays blank. has this happened to anyone? kindly advise. thanks!

Hi! Same case sa hubby ko, blank lang din pag niclick ko ung "organize your health examination". Nag inquire ako sa Nationwide and sabi nila TRN lang daw kailangan. But then nung binigay ko ung TRN # at nicheck sa system nila, hindi nga nag aappear ung name ng hubby ko, ako at ang baby lang namin nasa list. So sabi nila, ask ko daw sa CO ko ung health ID ng hubby ko. Since wala pa kaming CO (excited lang mag medical), tawagan na lang daw ang DIAC. Ask ko nga kung pwedeng manual na lang sa hubby ko pero hindi daw pwede. So nag email ako sa health stategies pero wala kagad reply. Tumawag na lang ako sa DIAC, binigay nila ung health ID ng hubby ko, then tinawagan ko ulit ang Nationwide para icheck kung ok na. Hindi pa rin nila ma access ung binigay na health ID. So tumawag ulit ako sa DIAC then sabi nung nakausap ko magrerequest sya ng panibagong health ID. Within the day nareceive ko ung bagong health ID through my email. Pinacheck ko sa Nationwide, ayun ok na. Nakapagmedical na rin hubby ko.

Kakainis lang tumawag sa DIAC kc ang tgal mong nasa queue. 3k in pesos din ang nagastos ko para makakuha ng bagong health ID ng hubby ko.

@jane .. during our medical last Dec 28.. di nila ma upload or may error yung name ko sa ehealth.. ok naman yung sa wife and two kids ko.. sabi nila mag email daw sila sa DIAC.. im hoping na mag ok na this week...

by the way, we did our medical after mag request yung CO

jane

@multitasking, wala pa kami CO pero tapos na kami sa medical. PCC na lang kulang namin. Nung tumawag ako sa DIAC, ang sabi expect na magka CO kami within 5 weeks from the date of lodgement. So malamang before the month ends eh my CO na rin kami.

For sure magkakavisa na kau ngaung January. Mabilis na lang processing ngaun eh. Nakakakaba rin maghintay noh?

Dear Admin,

In the process po ako ng pag-apply para sa Visa Subclass 116, this is an off-shore carer visa na ang mag-iisponsor po sakin ay ang lola ko kasi kailangan niya ng mag-aalaga sa kanya kasi medyo matanda na siya and she needs assistance lalo na physically...Meron lang ako na bits and pieces ng information pero hindi po kasi malinaw yung instructions sa immi.gov.au sa step by step procedure kung paano mag-lodge ng visa at gaano katagal yung processing. Sana po matulungan niyo ako sa inquiry ko about this matter....Hope to hear from you soon.

@ozified13 - hi.. im not the Admin.. but i will try to help..

for sure nabasa mo na ang information sa immi.gov.au..
- may requirements both para sayo and for the sponsor (example financial statement, medical assessment..etc) ..
- also, you should know na capped/queued ang mga Family Visas
- approx 1280 slots lang ang available for Jul 2012- Jun 2013.
- and based sa estimates, although Priority na ang Carer, but still it will take 2 years to process this visa...

Nandito po lahat ang information...

Question po about application lodging.

Nag-lodge po ako last December 11 pero so far wala pa allocated na CO. Ang status po na nakalagay don sa upper right panel nung application is status "in progress". Nakapag-upload na po ako ng mga relevant documents...

Tanong ko lang po kung ganon na yung last step sa application at maghihintay na lang talaga ng CO. Nagwo-worry kasi ako at baka may kailangan pang step o may namiss pa akong instruction. Anyone here who lodged their application on the same date as mine? Kumusta po status ng sa inyo?

@renjo - in my signature below, there is a link to a google spreadsheet. you may find people there who lodged at the same date as yours. from there you can judge how well you fared versus peers. pls take time to place in your details as well if you have time.

Patience is a virtue my friend - relax lang, it is still less than a month since you lodged and you have to remember na dumaan tayo sa Christmas and New Year holidays so expected that there might be delays...

Suggest you work on your NBI Clearance and your medicals...

Hi everyone, sa pagbabasa ko po ng thread na ito, meron lang po akong question:
1. may nabasa po ako na Non Migrating Dependent -- need pa rin po sila magpa medical kahit di naman sila sasama sa Australia?

2. Before po magpa medical, meron pang Medical Interview? Different schedule po ba yun than the actual medical itself?

3. San po makukuha yung Health ID for the Medical?

Thanks po ulit sa mga sasagot

1. hindi na po

2. wala na pong medical interview. once na may schedule na kayo sa medical interview punta nalang po kayo sa partner hospital for your medical examination. dun na po gagawin yung pinaka interview by the partner doctor (usual medical routine questions)

3. marerecieve niyo yung healthID by e-mail na isesend ng embassy kung kailan kayo nakaschedule for medical exam

if i may correct on this point.

1. This was already confirmed by one of the members here, Kailangan pong magpamedical kahit na hindi sila sasama sa Australia.. kung nakalagay sila sa "NON-MIGRATING Dependents"... kaya nga po ang advise.. wag maglagay ng entry dyan kung hindi naman talga dependents..

@rylynn - isang application fee lang po ang bayad kung magkasama kayo sa application..

Yes, 3060AUD for me and my wife...

Kahit ilang dependent, that is still the amount for the visa per se.

@psychoboy thanks

@lock_code2004 salamat sir sa reply.

@Jane, My CO also referred me to Health Strategies. So I emailed them two days ago and they replied this morning with my dad's Health Request ID. I called up Nationwide to inquire if they can access his record on ehealth using the ID and thankfully, they confirmed. So proceed na dad ko with his medical exam. I did not call DIAC like you did is because I didn't think it was that urgent in my case since my dad is a non-migrating dependent naman and I read a few times in this forum that some visas have been granted even without the medical results of their dependents. Sabi din naman ng CO he's still required, and since may health ID na, eh di go na din. Hope all is smoothsailing from here. Good luck and God bless to all of us.

jane

@mariamorris , tapos na din kami sa medical. sana walang problema. Nag email na rin CO namin today, team 7 sya.. Nanghihingi sya ng additional documents including evidence of health. Tumawag ako sa Nationwide, na upload na daw nila nung Jan 4 pa ung sa asawa at anak ko tas ung sakin nung Jan 11. Nag email ako sa CO tas sinabi ko ung date ng pag upload ng medicals namin. Problema ko na lang ngaun ung Form 80 ng hubby ko kc kakasakay lang nya ng barko (seaman kc) at wala pang signal kaya dko makontak.

Sana tuloy tuloy na to at magrant na visa natin soon. God bless po sating lahat..

jane

@Aiwink, my CO ka na ba? Ngaung araw nag email CO namin.. Nakakakaba.. Sana ok lahat ng requirements namin lalo na ung medical.. Good luck satin..

Hi @lock_code2004, nabasa ko po kay mariamorris, non migrating dependent nya ang dad nya.
Sa case ko po ba, need ko ideclare na non migrating dependent ang mom ko? widow na po kasi sya. or dun ko na lang po ilagay sa other family members na non migrating?

need your help po.
