    @danyan2001us thank u but their email does not say anything about to whom or to where i should address the documents they requested. I wanted email them back and ask for the details or address or they have an official courier or a courier they may suggest to handle my docs. :(
    hello everyone good evening. just got an email from the immigration and they are asking for the original passbooks i presented. Meron na po bang naka experience ng ganun? and where should i mail it and is there any courier na required or that immi prefer? wla kasing sinabi kung saang address e mail. pls help! and if ma submit ko ang request nila, what's my chance of having my visa grant?
    Hi sis ok if that is what is being needed then submit it to them using dhl (for quicker delivery ) and address it to the proper soliciting agency. Usually sa email nila nkalagay dyan ang details how to send it: address, your file number, case number things like that....double check ur email and pertinent details with regard to ur concern are there. Good luck and merry ChriStmas!

    I'm going to enroll on Tuesday, December 29 so baka next year ko na ma-submit lahat ng requirements namin for our visa. I am married with three kids and I'm going to study MBA at Australian Catholic University. Hindi na ako hiningan ng show money ng school ko. Sa tingin nyo ba magiging smooth sailing na ang visa application namin mag asawa? Hindi namin isasama mga anak namin. Pero kapag hiningan daw kami ng proof of funding sabi ng IDP, kasama daw sa computation lahat. Grabe ang laki nun. Sa tingin nyo ba hihingan pa kami ng proof of funding? Saka ano po ba assessment level ko?

    Usually pag svp ay hindi na hinihingian ng show money at dahil hindi ka na hiningian ng ACU i think you're good (fingers crossed) at dahil masters ang course mo you belong to AL1 (assessment level 1) which is hindi sila strict at saka mabilis ang processing ng application mo.

    Considering the holiday season, i think this is not unusual.....better take it easy and instead enjoy christmas time with your loved ones. I believe you'll have the acknowledgement by 1st week of Jan. If by that time, you still receive nothing then start worrying about it. Merry Christmas

    Imho parang hindi sila (co) nag entertain ng appointment sa embassy kasi nga even if you express intentions to talk with them on the phone, hindi nga sila nag entertain nito. I believe these COs are too busy with their works and besides, their avoiding the precedence of such thing. Merry christmas guys

    kuya dan happy new year! i already forwarded the requested original copy of my bank passbook to the australian embassy. Ano kaya ang chance ko na ma grant na ng visa? or how many times kaya usually manghihingi ng additional docs ang immigration? as for me kasi pang 3rd time na 'tong passbook. kinakabahan na ako masyado kasi sa jan 25 na class ko. baka kasi manghingi uli ng additional docs.

    if ang kulang lang naman sa documents mo ay yong passbook mo and then nasubmit mo na ito, then i am positive that everything will be alright....i know that COs don't expedite visa applications (hindi nila minamadali at wala ring magawa ang applicant na madaliin ito) but i also know that they are very much aware of the commencement of your course....just a quick query, did you submit the updated file of your bankbook/passbook?

    Hi guys MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    Question lang. I forwarded my visa application to AMS on Dec 14. Their courier is 2GO but it wasn't picked up until Friday Dec 18. Until now, wala pa akong acknowledgment email from the Australian Embassy. Is it unusual ba? Yung iba kasi 3 days may acknowledgment agad. :)
    Considering the holiday season, i think this is not unusual.....better take it easy and instead enjoy christmas time with your loved ones. I believe you'll have the acknowledgement by 1st week of Jan. If by that time, you still receive nothing then start worrying about it. Merry Christmas

    That's what I was thinking din. Holiday rush may have delayed the courier.
