    @flower01 Sa immi account mamimili ka (dropdown) ng up to 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. So I guess in your case you need to choose up to 3 months

    @jyr based on my experience di sya nagbabago. from Application received to Finalized na.
    Lead time is around 4-6 weeks. My grandparents before had their visa after 5 weeks from lodgement date.

    hi, i lodged my parent's application last nov 23. problem lang is 6 months stay period yung specified ko sa applications, hindi ko kasi alam na nachange na pala ng rules re medicals. it now requires full medicals for >=6 months stay. since they will just be staying for 2 months, i'd like to update the application to just 3 months stay period (thus avoiding the required medicals). and so i updated by submitting "notifications of changes of circumstances". do you think that would be sufficient? may nakakaalam po ba email address that we can use to contact them for any questions? thanks

    @Jovie

    It is important to take note of these dates. You will need to leave Australia or make alternative arrangements with the department before this date or you will become unlawful. If you think you will not be able to depart Australia by the date your visa expires, you should contact the department as soon as possible.


    Call them as per your grant.. :)>-

    ibig sabihin po ng VISA nyo e pwede kayong mag travel sa australia before October 14 2016 at mag stay ng 3 months kada travel ......

    kung magtravel ka po ng October 13 2016 e pwede pa rin pero 3 months stay lang

    kung baga Oct 14 po yung expiry ng tourist visa mo

    Hello Everyone! nag lodge ako ng TV application ko last Dec 22 then received an email from VFS then from embassy a day after. I was expecting po na makuha ang resuly ng 3rd week pa ng Jan.2016. but to my surprise, last Jan06,2016 naka receive ako ng email from embassy. Unfortunately REFUSED po ang visab application ko. masyadong vague yung reason (see below).

    My Questions are :

    1. can I still reapply? if yes, ilang months after?
    2. Ano pam pong documents ang dapat kong I-submit?\
    3. may cases po ba na after 1 month nag apply uli tas na approve?
    4. may malaking factor po ba ang mga visas? kasi lahat ng na visit ko prior to my application non visa required countries eh.

    Im starting to lose hope pero Im still being positive. wala naman ako kamaganak dun puro friends lang. I just really want to go to Australia for vacay.

    Eto po mga na submit ko :
    ITR,COE, Bank Statement, PAssports, Photo 2x2,NSO BC

    I will appreciate any comments or suggestions etc.

    Thanks

    Eto po yung nakalagay :
    After careful consideration of all the information you have provided, I was not satisfied that

    you met the relevant criteria for the grant of this visa as set out in Australian migration law.

    The attached Decision Record provides more detailed information about this decision and the

    applicant(s) it applies to.

    Whilst the applicant has supplied relevant information relating to their personal circumstances

    in the Philippines, the documentation supplied by the applicant has failed to demonstrate that

    the applicant has significant ties to the Philippines that would induce them to return home

    within the validity of their visa nor would it be reasonable for them to be away from the

    commitments and responsibilities that they have demonstrated for the purposes of a holiday.

    Therefore, I give no weight to asset ownership, business ties or cultural ties as evidence that

    the applicant intends a genuine visit to Australia and cannot consider these ties as factors that

    will induce the applicant to depart Australia within the validity of their visa.

    It is necessary to provide adequate evidence with every application in order to satisfy decision

    makers that the applicant’s situation in their home country is such that they would not

    potentially seek recourse to unlawful employment onshore or to seek to remain onshore. On

    this occasion the applicant has failed to do this. Whilst I have given careful consideration to

    the reason stated for the visit, I find that the stated purpose travel does not outweigh the

    various concerns associated with the application as outlined above. The applicant has not

    provided sufficient evidence, in accordance with policy to demonstrate that their true

    intention is only for a genuine visit to Australia. I am therefore not satisfied that the applicant

    meets cl600.211(c).

    Decision

    As the applicant does not meet clause 600.211(c), I find that you do not meet the criteria for

    the grant of a VISITOR (Class FA) VISITOR (Subclass 600) visa.

    Therefore, I refuse your application for a VISITOR (Class FA) VISITOR (Subclass 600) visa

    lodged at Manila.

    @Fghirlie, ano yung class FA ng visitor's visa?
    @batman, nakita ko sa timeline mo na approved yung visitor's visa mo. Paano mo pala sinubmit yung passport sized photo? Ni-scan mo lang din?

    One recent passport sized photograph (45 mm x 35 mm) of each person included in the application.
    These photographs should be of the head and shoulders only against a plain background.
    Print the name of the person on the back of the photograph.

    Hi,

    Good day.

    I'm newbie here sa forum, may tanong lang po ako regarding sa tourist visa application for my fiancee.

    Here's our situation:

    I am working here in Brisbane as an IT professional under 457 visa. I was granted this visa last Aug of 2015. My gf and I recently got engaged and I would like her to come first here in AU for a month as a tourist, before our big day, which we plan to celebrate in PH later this year. This is also to give her a chance to experience Aussie life firsthand before i eventually add her in my 457 visa once we got married.

    Now, my main concern is the accomadation part. Currently I live in a small single room apartment near the city. Although she doesn't mind staying with me kahit maliit yung space, however thinking about how strict AU is in terms of living conditions, I am just worried that this might not work for us.

    Do you guys think I can sponsor for her accomodation here? What do you suggest we do?

    Also, do you think I should state in the letter of invitation our plans of getting married in the PH? Would it not jeopardize our application later for her 457 dependent visa?

    Thanks po sa sasagot.

    God bless po.

    Thanks po. On the other hand, naisip ko din kasi na magandang reason yung wedding plans namin sa pinas as proof na talagang babalik si gf sa pinas.

    Regarding accomodation, pwede kayang di ko na lang ilagay na ako magssponsor sa kanya?
