  ask ko lang kung kailangan ko bang inform yung embassy na hindi pa ko makakapagmedical exam sa ngayon?..nakalagay kasi sa email nila, dapat within 5days of receipt daw ng acknowledgement letter, eh hindi pa pwede dahil sa period (hirap maging babae! LOL)....nakakaloka lang kasi may warning na baka ma-delay yung visa processing...baka matabunan yung application ko...hehehe

  Hi Doki_2002, ang reply lang saken is to go to the clinic at my soonest convenient time daw... okay lang kaya to go now tapos to follow na lang yung urine test, balik na lang ako after a week... para lang yung ibang test magawa na... or wala ding sense kasi hindi din naman nila isusubmit ng incomplete?... haay... oo nga eh, nakaka-stress tlaga, lalo na't hinahabol natin yung july... at least ikaw waiting na lang ng approval same pala tayo, july 16 din yung first day of classes ko... need ko pang magreresign sa work pag na-approve... hehehe...

Tsaka pa lng nila submit un pag kumpleto na lahat, pero ikaw, kng ok lng sau bumalik, ako kasi gsto ko matapos na para wala ng inintindi, kasama ko rin kc husband at anak ko nagpamedical. Yung husband ko pinabalik the nxt day ksi may sugar daw urine. Nung inulit kinabukasan wala na nmn. Mas ok cguro punta ka na, para if ever may hihingin pa cla sau d ka magagahol. Nakakastress! Hehe

  Thank you sa reply nyo @ Doki_2002 and Robbie1977!
  
  Pwede kaya sa akin un masteral kahit na diko nakwork mula noon natapos ako ng course pero may licensed naman ako. 6 years din kasi wala work. Gusto ko sana magkasama kami pupunta don kung mag-aaral ako kaso kung 20 hours lang sya pwede magwork sa bachelor degree n kukunin ko baka di kami makasurvive don unless may makuha sya employer na willing magsponsor sa kanya.Hay....thank again sa mga reply nyo!

  Hi, I'm processing my student visa application through an agency. hindi ko alam if aabot. ask ko lang, do we have to pay the school prior to lodging? or the coe ba can be given without paying the tuition fee? kasi that's what happened to us eh. the agency didnt ask us to pay the school, after na daw kami magbayad since there is already a COE. kasi from what i noticed here, binayaran niyo muna ang school bago kayo nag-lodge ng visa.
  
  the agency is legit naman. registered sila sa mara. orientation ko is july 9 and naglodge yata ako last week of may na. I called the agency kanina at ang sabi nila, we're waiting na lng for the acknowledgment yata para makapagmedical na ako from the embassy.

  June 7, 2012 - Applied for Visa through an agency
  June 15, 2012 - notified by agency that we have to do the medical
  June 18, 2012 - Medical Exam at Nationwide
  July 3, 2012 - Nationwide submitted the results online. Why it took so long? They gave me plenty of BS reasons.
  July 10, 2012 - Phone interview.
  July 15, 2012 -Asked by Immigration to pay tuition and OSHC.
  July 18, 2012 - Paid tuition and OSCHC.
  July 30, 2012 - Visa Granted
  Aug 1, 2012 - Notified by my agency that Visa granted

  @sunshine, i think schools from au wont give you COE unless you have already paid the tuition fee. Processing days depends on what assessment level you belong.

  what should i do? anong mai-advise nyo? the agency said kasi na the school gave already na the COE. tapos wait na lng daw kami sa immigration ng notification para sa medical. if ever ba hindi aabot, do i need to pay again the fee for visa application? or pwede for next intake na lng.

  Hi everyone,
  
  Naka-receive din ako from nationwide ng update regarding my medicals, na-upload na nila sa eHealth nung June 1
  
  so waiting game na lang ba talaga? wala naman akong tawag na na-receive.
  
  Sabi ng IDP counselor ko, minsan may tumatawag minsan wala,random calls, at if ever may tawag sagutin lang ng maayos.
  
  July 16 ang orientation sa school,,,, sana visa grant tayong lahat at sana umabot tayo sa orientation!

Would it help na malaman status ng application? Ako kase ang alam ko lang asa ehealth system na, yun lang. Naghihintay nalang ako ng tawag or email from immi. Hehehe.. Sana umaboooootttttt!!!

  ang alam ko, pag may COE na, mabilis lang un.. pero nagpapanic din ako ng mga panahon na un kasi hindi alam ng mom ko kung kelan nya ibook ung plane ticket ko. dapat nung end of jan ako aalis pero minove namen, saka naman dumating ung visa. ang alam ko,may telephone number silang binigay at dun ako nagfo-follow up.
  
  you can try to email your case officer, but if i can remember puro phone calls lang ang ginawa ko, and wala na akong ibang ginawa kundi mag antay at magworry at magantay.
