Been more than 30 days na since visa lodgement date, ask lang po if advisable ba na magfollowup na? If yes san po pwede mag email? As I understand is 1 to 3 months ang service standard, and ayaw ko naman na antayin pa ung "3 months" before ako magfollowup. Thank u!

ung sa friend ko, functional english ng partner.. naupload na nya before magcontact sa kanya ung CO niya. so nagtanong siya if may iba pa bang need iupload.
ayun po. note na ung sa akin is magkaibang tao ung naggrant at nagcontact. so feeling ko umakyat lang ung application ko at ibang CO na ang nag-grant
basta wag po kayo magtatanong about sa status ng application.. ayun lang advice ko. legit na tanong about requirements lang siguro. not sure how it works so not guaranteed na ok pero ayun ang bilis!

We received an automatic reply though:
Most people find the information they need by reading this email
You will not receive a further reply for:
- Questions about the status of your visa application
- Confirmation that documents have been received
- Enquiries that do not relate to a current GSM visa application, or
- Questions addressed by this automatic response
We aim to review visa applications within 6 weeks of requesting further information. Any queries received will be addressed when the application is reviewed.
How do I provide documents or update my information? @kat031602 (Hope this helps)
ImmiAccount is the best way to provide documents and update your information, and visa applications are usually processed quickest when documents are provided via ImmiAccount. Please do not email us when you attach documents to ImmiAccount.
You can also use ImmiAccount to:
- Apply for a bridging visa
- Access the My Health Declarations service
- Import a paper application (service available for certain visa subclasses only)
- Attach documents to an online or imported paper application
- Check the progress of an online or imported paper application
- Update application details online
- Update your passport or address
- Notify of incorrect information in your application
