Ako kasi primary applicant. No claimed points from husband.
Evidence of Relationship - Nagupload na ako dati pa ng marriage contract, pictures, and personal statements namin dalawa mag asawa. Hindi ko alam bat humingi pa siya ulit. Ginawa ko, inupload ko ulit sa ImmiAccount, tapos inemail ko pa kay CO.
Evidence of Residential Address - Magkaiba kasi residential address namin kasi nagpakasal kami August 9, August 14 kami nag lodge. Nagupload na din ako dati ng Lease Agreement na dated nung August 14, pero nanghingi pa din. Ginawa ko inupload ko ulit tapos inemail ko. Dinagdagan ko ng dalawang phone bills namin na nakapangalan sa kanaya yung isa, sa akin yung isa, pero same address. Saka tig-isa kaming Form 929.
English Requirements - Inupload ko na din to dati, pero same, hiningi padin. Inupload ko nalang ulit yung certificate of english as medium of instruction ni husband from his school.
Yan yung mga documents na sinend ko nung Friday din, same day nung na-assign sya samin. May kulang pa ba ako? Baka kasi hindi siya nagrereply kasi may kulang pa? Ano sa palagay ninyo?
Kinakabahan kasi ako, baka mamaya hindi pa sufficient yung evidences ko. Hihihi.
Thank you!!!

yung sa case ko hiningan din ako ni CO ng SG PCC na na-upload ko na 2 weeks prior to his email. i replied back attaching the SG PCC and stating that I already uploaded the requested doc and providing him with the exact date of upload. i also re-uploaded my SG PCC to my mmiAcct for the 2nd time.
after replying to his email i immediately made a followup call using the contact number provided on his email but unfortunately DIBP was already close for the day (already 4:30PM - Adelaide Time).
The next day tumawag ako 6:31AM Philippine time and in less than 30secs merong sumagot na officer and he did some verifications (DOB, Full Name, TRN etc).
Then nagpaliwanag ako sa kanya exactly what I wrote on my reply email to the CO. Right then and there he looked into my application and was able to verify that my SG PCC was already uploaded he also checked his email and confirmed the receipt of my reply email attaching the requested doc. ***The whole conversation lasted for 7:59 minutes***
Exactly 6 minutes after i hang up.. booom.. the rest is history!
