    Ha? Kelan nya nakuha? Ang gawin nya gawa sya letter tapos sabihin nya andyan family nya sa Pilipinas and if may work sya sabihin din nya na kailangan nya umuwi. Kailangan nya iprove ang strong ties nya dyan. Tapos pagawan ng letter ang parents nya na iallow sya magbakasyon dito for few days and that she is expected to come home after 2 weeks blah blah blah. Ganun. Puede pa naman apply ulit.

    Gawa ka lang immiaccount nya. Yung docs nya from pinas ipascan mo at isend syo. Lahat ng documents upload mo lang online. http://www.immi.gov.au/Services/Pages/immiaccount-register.aspx. Gagawa sya ng letter at parents nya ha to prove her strong ties na babalik sya ng pinas. Provide employment cert sa Pinas, payslips nya, bank cert na din nya. May viber ka ba?

    @Yukishih congrats sa approval ng boys mo. :)

    Tanong ko lang din sis, I am in the process of submitting the visa application of my mom in law, we plan to let her stay for a year kasi sya mag aalaga sa anak ko. Dun sa Health insurance section, pwede na ba ilagay dun yung details ng health insurance provider na balak namin kunin kahit hindi pa namin nabayaran? I read pag abot ng 1 year kailangan may travel insurance.

    I think she's around 62 years old. I am not sure about the restrictions kase sinabi nya lang yung multiple entry for 1 year and max 3 months stay. Yes I only put 3 months stay in the stat dec. Good thing they gave her a multiple entry. Maybe because of her age and history of travel.

    Hi. I lodged my visit visa application via VFS Global last 8 Oct 2014 and i got an acknowledgement text and email form VFS on 9 Oct saying that my visa application is already received at Australian Embassy until now waiting pa din ako.... well, they say 30 days max time of processing so still sounds ok though wen i lodged thru VIA Center dati mabilis lng in 2 weeks i got the result na... ask ko lang sa mga naka receive na gaano katagal if nagtext sila na nasa courier to deliver? It's my first time kasi to lodge thru VFS Global. Thanks so much... Good luck to all of us those who are still waiting.
