It can be a factor in getting a grant pero hindi mapapabilis ang approval. It will still be processed based on processing standards. Tourist visa can be finalised in just a week nowadays. Parents 75 years or older are required to have medical exam, this will also a factor in approval because results can take a while to be finalised

Thank you for the reply. Pag dating ng australia may mga instances ba na mahhold ka sa immigration ng australia? Ano minsan yung mga reasons ng mga nahhold sa immigration ng australia?

Theres always a chance na mahohold ka especially kung may mga dala kang prohibited goods/items or tingin nila hindi valid ang intent mo dito..pag wala ka naman hidden agenda at di nila mapapansin then theres no worry.

@rojo87 ung 75% 17days 90% 28days is working days ba or day tlga? Bale 2nd time ko na mag apply ng TV SC600. Last year Lodge ako August 9, 2016 ung grant Aug 16, 2016 - 1 yr validity din. Pero ang case ko nun is 1 month travel lang and may work na babalikan.


Now Nag lodge ako ng Sept 5, 2017 up until now assessment in progress pa din. But and instance now is travel ako more than 2months but less than 3 months and wala akong work na babalikan. may ticket naman ako dun na nilagay. ano po kaya sa tingin nyo?

rojo87

@lucid2010 as long as you provide enough evidence na babalik ka sa atin..yung ang pagkaka alam ko. Bali we will count the process on working days.

lucid2010

thanks @rojo87 for quick reply!

Ewan ko ba ang tgal nla magprocess ng TV.. applied for my mom last Aug 20.. until now received status pa din. Tumwag ako sa dibp Au, since country of passport is PH sa PH daw ako magfollow up check lng sa website for contact details..and working days ung processing which i asked kasi sa website nakalagay 28 days so i would assume na calendar days otherwise dpat naka-indicate dun na working days/business days

Applied visa Sept 8 then na grant yung visa Sept 15. Sobrang bilis ng process nila. Important siguro kung organize yung mga docs na issubmit mo sa kanila and may sponsor ka. Up to 3 months lang inapply namin.

lucid2010

@kittykitkat18 check mo ung status? wala bang action item na dapat gawin? tapos na ba mag biometrics nila?

kittykitkat18

@lucid2010 received status pa din..may biometrics ba pag pinas?

lucid2010

uhmmm ung philippines country need ng biometrics. Check mo dun sa correspondense na site wla bang email na nisend sa inyo para makapag biometrics sila?

@fgs @lucid2010 - ako din may tanong...what if may dala kang documents like transcript of record, employment certificate etc while holding on tourist visa. Kase naisip ko since bawal mghanap ng work dun try ko check kumuha ng enrolled nurses na course. Pero yon nga babalik pa din muna ako sa dubai tas dun ko na lang sakali process ang papers.

Di naman lahat thoroughly nachecheck sa immgration but if that happens and they found out you have documents that could incriminate you being here with the intention to find work then that might be a ground not to grant you entry to Australia. You can have it scanned and send it to your email address could be a smarter way pero di naman yan hinahanap pag nag apply ka ng work dito. At isa pa, di ka papansinin ng mga employer dito if applying for work on a tourist visa unless siguro sought after ang skill mo at wala silang mahanap dito. Even they would like to hire you, it would take sometime to apply you for a work visa. Di ka naman naman pwede magwork while they process you work visa kasi technically in breach ka sa conditions ng tourist visa. In some countries you can do that( tourist to work) like Singapore pero too hard in Australia.

Visa 600 for mom-I'm-law. I don't remember the exact dates pero after 3 days from lodging thru Immi account, we received a letter requiring her to go for a medical and for us to obtain insurance for her. After medical on a Friday, Tuesday the following week may visa grant na ☺️

@fgs -thank you! Tama ka better safe than sorry. Mahirap ang ma-A to A.

kittykitkat18

@lucid2010 no email na requesting for biometrics..tgal nga eh prang natutulog lng application..submitted nmn lahat ng docs

kittykitkat18

@koykoy mga 6 mos or 1yr ba inapply nyo?if yes need nga ng medical and private health..complicated case tong kay sa TV ni mama..considered sya as high risk for various reasons..not health related
