    Hello, friends. Mapagpalang araw sa inyong lahat. Gusto ko lang i-share yung nangyari sa amin last week. 14 July nag notify ang immig na kailangan daw magpa consult sa pulmonologist ung anak ko, repeat CXR, at hingi ng certification from pedia on the previous treatment made for Koch's infection in 2002. On the same day, nagpa consult si daughter at repeat CXR. The next day, we sent the results to Nationwide (NHSI). Ang sabi kailangan daw ng CD ng CXR para di ma delay ang pagpadala ng result back to immig. Wednesday naman binagyo ang buong Metro Manila. Thursday, maraming clinics pa rin ang sarado. Friday na namin nakuha ang CD at full med report ng pedia with dosage, generic drugs administered and length of treatment and current status. Saturday na namin naibalik sa NHSI ang lahat lahat ng kailangan nila. Moral of the story: (1) Wag na magdeclare ng former lung condition kung sigurado namang wala nang symptom ang pasyente. Or else, you add another week/s to your processing time. (2) We recommend not going to NHSI anymore for your medicals. It seems substandard yung machine/proficiency ng radiology nila. I hope you all learn from our experience. Good luck to all!

    @Newleaf2014 tanong ko lang po nagdeclare po ba kayo during medical ng anak nyo about sa lung niya kasi kung nagdelare kayo automatic yung doc dun sa medical nyo hahanapan kayo ng mga lumang certificate na galing sa doctor na nag gamot sa anak nyo or kung wala naman kayo dala ng mga luma na certificate sila mismo gagawa ng request na need nila yung certificate with details at gamot na take ng anak nyo, si st lukes po kasi pag may declare automatic magtatanong sila kung may dala na certificate from doctor at kung wala naman yung doctor sa st. Lukes gagawa siya ng request na need nila yung certificate with details kung ano gamot na take at ilang months nag take, tpos si st. Lukes may one week lang na palugit dapat masubmit kasi isasabay nila sa mga result ng medical yun papuntang au embassy, kasi kung hindi nag declare at nasubmit na yung result sa au embassy si embassy na mismo mag notice na need nila ng additional test kaya medyo tatagal, mas ok mag declare kahit magaling kana para iwas abala kasi need lang diyan certificate kung saan kang doctor nag gamot, god bless to all.

    @dreamprayhard84 - yes, nag declare kami about my daughter's previous illness. Buti pa ang St. Luke's mas organized and helpful; sa Nationwide hindi naman nanghingi ng ganun even when they are aware of the declaration. Therefore, better service talaga sa St. Luke's, so take note!

    @Newleaf2014 a sa side na pala ng clinic nila yung problem pinabalik pa tuloy kayo tapos pinasa na nila yung result na hindi kasama yung certificate from doctor ng anak nyo kaya si au immi na yung nag notice sainyo na need ng other documenta and additional test, kahit kinulit nyo na sila hindi padn sila aware sa concern nyo parang money maker pala yung clinic nila.

    @dreamprayhard84 - I would say "less efficient" sila than St. Lukes not so much on the income side of things. Ergo, if you have less time before your intake, sa St. Luke's na kayo pumunta para mabilis!

    Hi all!

    We are leaving soon for Perth. Any guidelines or tips on pre-departure? Like sa NAIA pa lang, pagdating sa Oz, what to bring, how to open accounts, etc.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    @lifenaval ...i would be honest with you bro...mahirap bro dahil unang una wala ka pa local experience at pangalawa limited ang time mo to work.....unless masters ang course mo or ng partner mo so unlimited work rights ka...kaya mas maigi marami ka connections at support group....pero if di ka naman mamimili meron din namang mga odd jobs...yon nga lang pa swertihan bro pero so gfar sa mga nakilala ko dito sa forum na mga students dito....if i'm not mistaken lahat naman yata ay nakakita ng work....

    @markier87 ....my close friend and fellow bro in couples for christ is working in perth particularly in a mining site....i will check with my other contacts.....basta ang tip ko at first wag na wag mamimili ng trabaho or opportunity....if you can have the local experience then you can start re aligning work opportunities according to your field of expertise.....

    @lifenaval ...sori for this late reply.....i don't want to discourage you pero for anuybody like us na nakastudent visa (kahit na nga mga pr dito) mahirap talaga maghanap ng work kasi ang issue palagi ay ang hinahanap nila na local experience mo.....ang usual na tinatanggap kasi nila ay yong may local experience....anyway ang masuggest ko ay as a start, try not to be choosy when it comes to working opportunities...kahit na odd jobs basta trabaho tanggapin mo....then just like in my case mag 4 years na ako sa company namin....make use of your support system...referral din ang isang maganda na paraan dito para makahanap ng work...some companies like us ang tinatanggap ay yong nirefer ng mga in house workers so mahalaga rin na marami ka friends dito......
