I am applying po for 3 months tourist visa and may relatives po kami sa Aus (aunties and lola).
Bale I am working (full-time, regular employee) po and my company granted me three months leave and meron na rin po akong show-money. Can I proceed with the application even with that, I mean, would that be a strong application?
I have an invitation letter from my Aunt tho I was not able to get supporting docs like copy of her birth cert and passport details (still waiting for her reply din). Ok lang po ba na invitation letter lang yung ipasa with the above docs or need talaga yung supporting docs na detailed sa checklist nila dito: http://philippines.embassy.gov.au/files/mnla/0614 sc600 Visitor tourist stream checklist.pdf
Thank you in advance.

@donna, you need to file another application for your son and upload all your documents in his application too (establish your ties to him and his ties to sponsor). Individual kasi sa online, each person will receive his own visa grant/refusal.
So kapag sponsorship, hindi lang dapat ikaw ang pinangalanan, pati siya...
