June 2014 Applicant - lodged VISA (189/190)

BoyPintados

mga kapatid, question lang ulit, eto na dahil sa waiting days, iba-iba na yung naiisip ko, and dahil siguro sa excited ako mag upload, ngayon ko lng nabasa ulit ung guidelines, sabi kase avoid spaces sa filenames... eh lahat ng uploaded/ frontloaded docs ko, may space sa filenames, dapat pala underscore lang... di pa naman ma remove or ma edit yung file name once uploaded diba...? do you think they can bend rules for the naming files? or mag re upload nalang ako lahat with underscore sa filenames? #Praning
Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

@BoyPintados Natuwa naman ako sayo sir... U really have The best attention to detail... Pati comma at period... Pero that's a good point to consider for those who haven't lodged theirs. I don't think kailangan mo pa ring i-upload mga previous uploaded docs mo just because my spaces sa file name.. Baka maubusan ka niyan ng space for re-uploading. I think we are only allowed 60 files to upload... Baka maconfuse pa c CO..i'm sure they would consider such innocent misstep. Ako nga rLapit na yan sa yo. God bless...

BoyPintados

@alexia02 ahhaah good morning mam... na praning lang siguro ako mam sa kaaantay haha. oo nga tama ka mam, baka llagpas na ng 60 files, hehe thank you mam ha... malapit ka rin naman na ah...thank you mam for your thoughts... nababaliw na ata ako haha paranoid lang. thank you again mam! GODbless u! all the best!!!! ;-)

Good Morning mga kapatid! another waiting opportunity! have a great week ahead! ;-)

PIPO

mga Ma'am and Sir, tanong ko lang kung may na visa grant na sa inyo na nag sinubmit ng Form 80 na typewritten?

DMAU2012

@PIPO, Sa mga nabasa ko meron nag type written, tapos yung signature nya scanned, cut and paste. Mukang wala naman naging problema.

Pero naka indicate sa Form 80 na "please use a pen", kaya most ng mga applicants, handwritten at "blue pen" para mas kita pag iniscan.

Hope this will help.

Saka @PIPO, paupdate naman ng anzsco code mo sa timeline

Question pala guys:

1. Yung medical history ba, do you still need to upload anything (like yung updated eMedical information sheet, the one with the HAP ID) after you've taken it and the clinic has forwarded the results to DIBP?

The health status on my application has already changed to: "No health examinations are required for this person for this visa subclass based on the information provided to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection."

2. When uploading your NBI Clearance, which category do you put it under? Overseas Police Clearance - National?

Thanks guys.

BoyPintados

@quesoboy brad,
1. you don't need to upload anything sa medicals because the clinic will do the honors; and once 'Organise your health exams' hyperlink changes to 'No health exam required for this person....' (please also see my signature below regarding this), that means the clinic has completely uploaded your medical report and DIBP received it, and basically no further tests required, so, Congrats, mate! ;-)

2. Re my nib/police clearance:
Character, Evidence of _____ Overseas Police Clearance - National _____
National Bureau of Investigation and Police Clearance

Hope this helps. ;-)

Ok, thanks @BoyPintados!

I just wanted to be sure kasi di pa nagbabago yung status ng "Evidence of Health" item ko to "Received". It's still currently "Recommended".

Ok, tama rin yung ginawa ko for NBI Clearance.

All that's left now is to wait for my CO.

Kumusta application mo? Still waiting for CO ka rin ba?

BoyPintados

@quesoboy oo brad recommended pa rin yung Evidence of Health, same same.. ganun din sakin, pero yung hyperlink sa baba, yun yung nagbago...
58 days of waiting na brad, and still counting..
frontload mo na ba lahat? ;-)

Ok, thanks @BoyPintados!

Finally got the visa grant today, after almost six months from the day we submitted my skills assessment docs.

My application took longer than expected because my partner and I had a total of 6 PCC's to submit:

Philippines - applied in person at QC Hall, waiting in line was not so bad because I did the online application, took one week to receive kase may 'Hit', sounds weird to say this but this was the cheapest clearance and took the least amount of time before receiving it
Singapore - took about three weeks, very straightforward, applied in person which was no problem since we're both in Singapore
US - sent via DHL, took about six weeks, payment by CC
UK - sent via DHL, took one month, payment by bank draft
Cambodia - This is what delayed us. After researching, we found out it is not possible to get it from abroad and if you're no longer a resident. My partner even flew back there for a few days but he wasn't able to get it. In the end, we had to request the CO to waive it after submitting a bunch of documents to prove all attempts to obtain the PCC. Waiver was issued almost after two weeks.

Because of all the PCC's, we communicated with 5 different CO's. Initially we were under Team 7, but our visa was granted by Team 23.

But overall, six months is still not bad!

Malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa forum na ito. Sa mga batchmates na naghihintay pa, malapit na rin yan!

Now, time to update my resume
