multitasking · June 2015

@boyNxtdoor .. noong nag lodge ako ng visa application for my father in law last March... di ako nag submit ng passport size photo...

fgs · June 2015

@boyNxtdoor have a passport size photograph, have it scanned with your name printed below your pic...check if required din authenticated

boyNxtdoor · June 2015

@multitasking @fgs -- thanks po sa replies. I think I will have the photo scanned with my signature below it to be sure.

Still waiting for my parents visa approval. Lodged it online last May 11. Mukhang mas mabilis ang approval ng paper version. Sayang nga lang kasi we were hoping for my parents to attend my sister's wedding here on Sydney on Saturday.

bluecomet08 · June 2015

Checked the status of the online appliction last night and it is still Application Received. Based on your experiences, magchange ba dapat anv status na ito to Processing? Or derecho decision na? Thanks!!!

@bluecomet08 naalala ko ung sa in laws ko dati parang processing yung nakalagay eh. though hindi ko nakita kung naging application received yun kase yung sis in law ko ang nagasikaso...though ako ang nagfollow up ng application nila kase ang tagal eh haha! so tinawagan ko ang embassy sa pilipinas

nfronda · June 2015

@bluecomet08 ung sa mom in law ko yan din ang worry ko nung inapplyan ko sya ng tourist visa kasi almost 2 weeks na application received pa rin ang status. Den one day nkareceive kmi ng visa grant nya.. Pag check ko ng status sa online finalised na ang nkalagay.. 2 weeks lg ang processing ng tourist visa nya.

Patulong naman po,,,, meron ako pending application sa mom ko requested for 1 year tourist visa. However d sya makapasa pasa sa xray kasi malabo pero wla sya TB po. Paano po ang gagawin if i will request her for 1 month instead? Gusto ko lng po sya maipasayal dito sa australia, btw she is 73 yrs old. Pwede po ba i ammend yung application namin ng existing? Desperately need help. Salamat

bluecomet08 · June 2015

thanks @nfronda and @muffles127. until now wala pa rin grant. parang nabalewala yung invitation ng sister ko. nakalagay kasi sa invite na kaya sila pupunta dito ay dahil sa wedding. siguro first time din kasi namin sila inapply ng tourist visa kaya matagal.

Patience is a virtue, at the end of the day they will still say if the application is denied or granted ... nagbabawas ng tao sa government so konting tiis lang

inde naman siguro kayo nagmamadali

bluecomet08 · June 2015

@JCsantos sa ngayon di na kami nagmamadali kasi hindi na talaga sila makakapunta sa wedding when the application was taking too long.

You know kami pag ganyan inde kami natutuloy or parang inde sang ayon ang pagkakataon iniisip na lang namin na merong magandang reason ang kalangitan kung bakit nangyari yung ganyan sitwasyon ... you know what i mean

mga masters, kailangan ba talaga kumuha ng Travel Insurance or Health Insurance kapag ppunta dito ang Mom and Sister?

goreo · June 2015

hi arlene..

hindi ba nagrequest ng clearer xray copy? siguro its best to ask them if you want to amend yung application nyo..

Depende kung hingan o i require k ng immi, kung matagalan sila i would get a travel insurance

Nadine · June 2015

Thank you Jesus!
Visa grant na pala ang aking mama and sister
Now lang ulit ako nakapag check ng email.
Pero May 15 at 4:30 pala sinend yung email notification.
Thank you Australia. Thank you Jesus

Hi sis peach! kumusta?

I plan din sana to apply TV for my sis and mom. Matagal na pala ngayon ang processing? Kinabahan tuloy ako. Dati-rati, my mom was approved after only 10 days. Umaabot na pala ngayon ng 1 month? Tsaka may tanong ako sis, did you submit one application for both, or individualised application ginawa mo? Wala kasi work sis ko ngayon, and I am a bit wary na baka yun maging cause for refusal.

Thanks sa input. Cheers.

arlene5781 · June 2015

@goreo yun nga po e, will try to po yung sa case ng mom ko

Hi Doc @Nadine,

Kamusta ka na din? Long time hehehe

Yes Doc, 1 month na ang processing ngayon

Kelan o sila balak papuntahin?
2 separate applications yung ginawa ko sa kanila Doc.
Separate payment din.

I add mo doc sa attachment ni sis mo, Bank Statement saka Proof of Assets nya para sure na iapprove.

Doc, alam mo ba kung kailangan natin sila kuhanan ng Travel Insurance and Health Insurance?

Master @JCSantos, paano po malalaman kung irerequire ng IMMI?
sa araw po mismo ng flight, pagpunta nila sa immigration, doon po ba sila sasabihan na kailangan nila ng Travel and Health Insurance?

Hi @goreo, kahit less than3 months lang dito ang mom ko, need ko pa rin kuhanan ng Health Insurance?
Anong package yung kinuha mo sa BUPA pala?

Aside from health insurance, need din ba ng travel insurance?

yung kinuha namin for mother is yung overseas visitor package nila..standard cover..
may condition kasi sa visa grant na na "must maintain health insurance for the durayion of stay".
dun ba sa bisa grant ni mother mo, ano ba ang conditions?

No pagka-pasa mo pa lang ng application , i guess inde required sa sitwasyon mo kasi approved na

Nadine · June 2015

@peach17 , health insurance lang for my mom, hindi ako kumuha ng travel inurance dati. Bupa kinuha ko, visitors cover.

This time around, hindi pa ako kumuha ng insurance but I plan to.
