    @jillpot - nagprovide kami ng marriage certificate, we just got married on Oct 28 , then yung 2nd contact naman statement of relationship, so nagprovide kami ng mga photos, flight and hotel bookings and my husband letter stating how we met and our current situation. Nagtanong kasi ang CO kung bakit magkaiba kami ng address so inexplain ng husband ko yung reason due to im still under contract dito sa flat until makahanap ako ng kapalit na magrerent.

    @StarJhan most likely, yes. Saka mabagal pa siguro ang usad during that time kasi syempre nagleleave rin naman yung mga CO pag pasko hehe.

    @louietheresa hindi ko sure.. depende sa CO if gusto nya tawagan lahat or iba lang.

    @StarJhan assumption ko lang sya. kasi client namin Australians. ung mga AU boss namin usually nag lealeave ng mga 1-2 weeks ng Dec. naisip ko lang if ganun din ba sa immigration. or cguro may paisa isa na may mag lea-leave that means pwede din mas konti mga CO available. pero wala naman sguro sila announcement kaya hindi dapat mainip.. so far ito lang nakita ko sa site ng border

    Hi @rich88, yung tinatawagan nila na employers ay yung mga nagclaim ka lang ng points? Or lahat kahit di ka nagclaim ng points? :)

    @aug88 I'm not sure. It's safer to assume they're calling everyone. So make sure na lahat ng contact details dun sa CoE nyo is still correct and working.

    Ako tinawagan ko HR and managers ng lahat ng pinagtrabahuan ko para i-inform sila na baka may tumawag from immigration.
