May isa pa akong tanong, sa mga naglodge online this year, certified true copy ba yung mga attached docs nyo? I know someone who did not attach certified copy docs; she attached scanned original copies. Tinanggap naman, nasa AU na siya. Kinakabahan kasi ako, may mga docs ako na hindi certified copy, original copies lang meron ako. Baka hindi tanggapin? E.g, yung passport, puwede ba na scanned copy na lang? Napapacertify true copy ba yun sa DFA in the first place? Tinatanggap din ba nila yung authenticated docs, yung may red ribbon from DFA?

Doon sa part na ililista yung dependents, dapat ko ba isama lahat ng members ng family ko (parents and siblings) kahit na hindi ko sila talaga dependent? Sabi kasi list ALL your family (accompanying or not). Wala naman kaso kung ililista ko sila, ang prob tinatanong rin yung country of residence since 2005. May kapatid kasi ako na mahirap na i-trace yung country of residence nya since 2005...

Btw, would you know the answer to my question re certified copy docs? Kapag online application ba, dapat certified copy talaga yung iattach o puwede na original copy? May kakilala kasi ako na hindi naman certified copy inattach nya, nasa AU na siya hehe. Pero last year kasi yun, baka mahigpit na sila this year?
@aueno, lahat ba ng docs na inattach mo certified copy?
Salamat!

Btw, how did you get your passport certified? Sa DFA, yung authentication dun? How long ang processing?
Yung birth certificate naman, sa pagkakaalam ko, ipapacertify muna sa municipality kung saan ka pinanganak tapos sa NSO main office sa QC? Tama ba? I had mine certified in the municipality level pa lang. Matagal ba processing sa NSO?

Dun sa medical exam and nbi clearance, hindi ba dapat hintayin ang advice nila? Hindi ba sila nag-email sa'yo bago ka nagsubmit? Basta diretso submit ka na? Kelan ka na-grant/ approve?

Magagamit ko ba yung license ko after board exam sa Australia? Iniisip ko kasi kung aalis na ako or hindi at magantay ng board exam. Feeling ko kasi nagaaksaya na lang ako ng oras dito kung hindi ko rin naman siya magagamit dun.
What do you guys think?

@pseudoaussie I think di recognized yung license natin dito. Though mukang mas okay na kumuha ng experience muna bago pumunta doon para makatulong sa paghahanap ng work. I heard medyo mahirap daw maghanap e. or swertihan lang talaga

Nanggaling ako sa CFO sabi hindi na daw kailangan ng sticker nila. Kayo ba kumuha kayo ng sticker? Baka kasi harangin ako sa airport.

Nagulat rin ako sa bilis nila mag-grant. Anyhow, anong itatanong ng immigration sa airport (both sa NAIA and OZ)? Kailangan ba magpakita ng return ticket?
Thanks!

Finding a job and migrating is a risk, in all honesty. But risks come with rewards if you play it right. I am glad I took it.

Me and my fiancee are about to get married in March 2016 before we leave the Philippines to make our first entry in Australia on April 12, 2016. Our 476 visas, two individual application, were already granted. We are to notify our COs about the change in civil status a day after our wedding. Do you think the change in civil status could result to our granted visas being cancelled?
