@cgm i did the same thing. binasa ko ng maigi yung information letter. ang nakasulat kasi is if you have not lodged your visa you must provide the hap id to dibp. tapos nakasulat din na it is recommended to submit this letter with your visa application when it is lodged. di ko kasi napansin agad sa emedical na ang print referral letter naging print information sheet na. i think ganun na siya nung july 15 pa. narealize ko july 24 na kaya ayun inupload ko na rin agad.
hoping we get a CO soon. good luck sa atin!

Mga kapatid, na nag-hihintay ng CO/Grant, i-confirm ko lang sa inyo kung ganito rin ang screen ninyo sa ImmiAccount.
Dapat yung status ay "In progress" di ba?
Ang pinagtataka ko kasi eh pag-ni-tick ko yung checkbox ng application ko, ay hindi pa rin na-di-disable yung "Submit Applications" button. Sa pagkakatanda ko eh na-click ko na iyang button na iyan at "Submitted" yung status before.
Ganito rin ba yung ImmiAccount nyo? Sensya na't medyo praning ang tanong hehe, excited lang kay CO, saka baka may mali akong nagawa.

Dapat yung status ay "In progress" di ba?
Ang pinagtataka ko kasi eh pag-ni-tick ko yung checkbox ng application ko, ay hindi pa rin na-di-disable yung "Submit Applications" button. Sa pagkakatanda ko eh na-click ko na iyang button na iyan at "Submitted" yung status before.
Ganito rin ba yung ImmiAccount nyo? Sensya na't medyo praning ang tanong hehe, excited lang kay CO, saka baka may mali akong nagawa.
