@emefei kami din naman ni @melvinrose merong agent... but they are open naman so natanong talaga namin if pwede na mag medicals.. pwede naman daw, although the usual protocol is to wait for CO. The agent won't mind, I'm sure. If any, swerte nga sila kasi nagbabasa din kayo. Hehe.

Hi Everyone. I am new here and been reading some postings. I am thinking of moving to Australia. My concern is I am turning 49 this year. An initial (free) assessment of my resume, however, by a registered agent, indicate I am qualified to immigrate to Australia. I believe her assessment -- but would want to hear from those of you here who made it successfully. Salamat.

Ang tagaaaaal, tagaaaal ng paghihintay na ito. Hehe. Sa kabilang forum may Nov. 29 na na direct grant but marami pa ring 2nd wk of Nov. na waiting.
@emefei Depends saan kayo magpapamedical. You can call your panel clinic to arrange a sked (if applicable) then ask for the requirements. In our case (we did it in Cebu), they asked us to fill up form 26 (from immi.gov.au), referral letter with HAP ID, passport photos, medical records, immunization records for your kids, passport and photocopy of your passport. Depends really sa clinic kung ano hihingin nila from you.

@Anastasha hello sis. Ayan nacontact ka na rin pala ng CO. Madali na yan. Submit na lang ng form tapos visa grant na. Ganyan yung ibanh cases na nabasa ko dito.
May question pala ako. Nung nagpamedical kayo, sinabi na ng doctor na may lung scar si hubby mo?

@familiaC Hi! Alam nya na may lung scar talaga sya so he declared it na sa medical history. . Pinabalik pa sya sa clinic in the afternoon for lordotic view kasi the specialist can barely see the lung scarring anymore dahil nga matagal na syang healed. But still, dineclare pa rin namin na may history sya of PTB just to be sure.

@emefei Depends saan kayo magpapamedical. You can call your panel clinic to arrange a sked (if applicable) then ask for the requirements. In our case (we did it in Cebu), they asked us to fill up form 26 (from immi.gov.au), referral letter with HAP ID, passport photos, medical records, immunization records for your kids, passport and photocopy of your passport. Depends really sa clinic kung ano hihingin nila from you.
