Today, (23 May) we received 2 emails from the immigration:
1) IMMI Acknowledgement of Application Received, which contains just a simple letter of acknowledgment of received application
2) IMMI Acknowledgement of Valid Application Received, which contains:
- More detailed letter of acknowledgement of received application which says application date is 21 MAY
- Health Check Request
- How to Request for NSO Documents
However, there is a mistake with the address indicated on the letter of acknowledgement so we'd need to let them know of this.

Hi poinsttiia9,
Ang sabi doon sa website ng australian immigration sa manila is
Clients should only apply for a National Statistic Office (NSO) document, once a visa application has been submitted at the Manila Visa Office, and at the request of a visa processing officer.
This is the same for form 80 ( as per request of the case officer)
This document once a CO is assigned will be requested and kung ano pa kulang sa mga documents that you submitted. Hindi naman matagal mag request ng NSO documents through e-census and it will be delivered sa Australian Immigration Manila in weeks time.
I think they are doing this as standard para easy for them to track the NSO documents coming in their office. This is use also as the first point of contact between the applicant and the Case Officer.
As of August 29 immigration is saying that they are processing documents lodge within July 1st . So kung nag lodge ka ng before July 1st you should have a case officer assigned by now. that is updated once a a month expecting this early October to be updated again and they will say processing up to August 1
kailan ka ba nag lodge online ?
On my case wala naman hinihinge sa akin na form 80.
Stay in touch and keep updating para meron reference or at least an indicator on how our application is progressing.
Kind Regards

Hi Johann329 definetely you can do apply first and once you got a stable job and a roof (just rented dwelling is ok) for your family you can apply for a spouse visa.
There are several factors that you need to consider on choosing to include or not to include your family in lodging a visa they have advantages and disadvantages. It can depend on what visa are you applying? You have to consider the cost, time , and if your applying for skilled visa sometimes it is helpfull if you lodge it with your partner included already as his/her qualification can have more points.
regards,
