    @Vhonixki anong visa stream po yung ina-aapplyan nyo?

    Based sa visa 189 checklist:

    immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/checklists/189.aspx
    All supporting documents must be scanned and uploaded with your application. All documents that you provide must be certified copies of original documents.
    Also, may certain sections doon sa checklist that says, you must provide "colour scanned" copies..
    Documents to show identity

    Scanned colour copies of the biographical pages of the current passports or travel documents of all people included in the application.

    Scanned colour copy of your birth registration, and that of all people included in the application
    Sa case ko, all of my docs are coloured photocopies, then pina-CTC ko sa Notary Public, then colored-scan..

    So I think the general rule is, colour-photocopy all docs, have it CTC'd, then colour-scan everything...

    @familiaC Naku sana nga! But processing seems to have slowed down these past few days. Maybe maraming backlogs. I checked expatforums.com and the last grant (Jan. 13) was a Nov. 4 application. And marami pa ring waiting from the October applicants.
