    @pawla27 oo nga po eh. Sana nga talaga! May mga nakita po ako before na mga 3months lang naapprove. Pero normally ang nakikita ko po na average time talaga ng pag approve nasa 4-7 months. Matagal na po yung 7 months kahit ang nakalagay sa site 9-12months. Siguro po pag risky lang talaga for them yung application kaya umaabot ganun katagal pero pag legit na legit naman po at talagang nakikita nila na wala naman planong manloko lang para makapunta sa Aus, baka mas mabilis iapprove. Tumawag dn po kasi cousin ng fiance ko sa immigration sa Aus nag inquire sila sabi 5 months lang daw average time, from Philippines dn yung fiance nun. Sanaaaaaa

Pero nababasa ko po sa ibat ibang forums and sabi din ng family ng fiance ko na good sign dn daw po minsan pag walang naririnig from them kasi ibig sabihin wala na silang need na documents kasi complete na.

    1. Application received -> information requested -> <- assessment in progress -> finalised
    2. Application received -> finalised

    Nagpapaka positive nalang po ako na dun ako sa 2 haha na next update sakin finalised na at may visa grant na! Lol sana po maging maayos na dn medical mo at maapprove na tayo hehe

    @iceforest Hi po sis. May tanong po ako about sa immiaccount page mo, yung sa pag nag click ng "view application" diba may status po dun sa tabi ng name ng applicant pati ng partner? Ano po nakalagay sayo? I just noticed kasi na nag iba yung status sa name ng fiance ko, dati pareho kaming "processing", ngayon nakalagay sakanya "approved" na may check sign sa gilid pero yung sa name ko processing parin. Ganun din po ba sayo? Hindi ko po alam kailan nag change yung sa name ng fiance ko kasi yung summary page lang palagi ko chinecheck sa status pero yung "view my application" di ko masyado nachecheck.
