    @se29m Hi, I just lodged my visa application today. May mga tanong ako:
    1. Yung sa tab na view health decalaration, tapos yung organize health examinations, kailangan ko na ba yun gawin ngayon?
    2. Paano po pag pregnant ang main applicant?
    3. Kialangan ba fill upan ang form 1221 para sa mga dependents?
    4. Para sa non migrating dependent, kailangan din ba iuplod yung police clearance tsaka medical?

    @prcand good day. We have a programmed migration agent final stage payment of 1,000 AUD (last stage prior visa grant). This shall be the last one and waiting game na for the golden grant. Our plan is 3rd week of May magbayad. Medyo may kamahalan kami sa VISA fee kasi we're all 6.

    In our estimate, nasa 200+ pesos din (investment din talaga as I am working at busy sa work sa plant) from the start when we began engaging their services. Though marami sa nandito sa thread ang prefer na on their own, sa amin if I shall be asked, malaking tulong sila sa amin kasi they facilitated my free IELTS materials and weekend review sessions last year including EA assessment assistance. Good vibes!

    @chewychewbacca for me parang mas madali ng konti ang actual.. sa repeat sentence mas maikli ang sentences at hindi ganun kabilis.. mejo tricky s actual..

    my tip is to take the scored practiced test atleast a week before actual test and practice harder s mababang skill. take note hindi nasusunod yung sequence ng type ng test sa listening ko nahuli ang multiple choice single answer.

    God Bless.

    @chewychewbacca for me mas madali yun exam proper kesa mock exam. Wag ka lang talagang kakabahan. Yun ang kalaban mo. Wag ka masydo magtagal sa reading kasi aabutan ka ng oras. Basta mas madali sa exam wag ka magalala. And remember lagi wag ka kakabahan.
