  Hello all!
  Just got our visa grant notice yesterday.:(*^▽^)/★*☆♪
  
  Side kwento:
  We expected it last December (from May it is already more than 6 months of waiting) so my husband called the immig office to confirm our status. And they said that they were waiting for our police clearance from the Philippines.
  We're surprised coz it was not on the list of their final requirements. (We've been working overseas for 9years at that time). We thought only the police clearance from here is necessary. Because they even gave instruction on how to get it here.
  
  Thanks to this forum, it's been a great help to us.
